While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What is our first stop？” asks my father.“What time is it？”“Still dont have a watch？”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.“Unbelievable，” he says, “How was this done？”A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything？”No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my fathers voice. Now I hear them in my own.The next day were at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.“Did you ever travel with your dad？” I ask.“Only once，” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each otherbut never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”The_last_sentenceits_probably_the_same_thing_Id_say_about_my_father._And_what_Id_want_my_child_to_say_about_me.In Glacier National Park, my father says, “Ive never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realizeand maybe a regular job wont be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip, I call my father.“The photos from the trip are wonderful，” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.”I tell him Ive decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch.24. We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father _A. followed the fashionB. was unhappy with the authors lifestyleC. liked the authors collection of stampsD. got bored with his job25. What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore?A. His father is interested in sculpture.B. His father is as innocent as a little boy.C. He should pursue a specific aim in life.D. He should learn sculpture in the future.26. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?A. They decide to learn photography together.B. The call solves their disagreements.C. They begin to change their attitudes to life.D. The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.27. From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author_A. learns how to communicate with his fatherB. hopes to give whatever he can to his fatherC. wants his children to learn from their grandfatherD. comes to understand what parental love meansCIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记）card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.28. The underlined words in this passage means to “_”.A.be ready to help othersB. gain something at others expenseC. make good use of ones friendsD.be a little ahead of others29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AWhile taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.BIn a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.CThe bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours.DThe workers are always honest with their working hours.30. We can learn from the passage that _.Athere are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandBthe Finnish society is of very high moral （道德） levelCin Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingDeveryone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage ?AHonest accounts of the Finns B. Life in FinlandCA Society with “Foolish” People D. What a LifeDImagine a town with crosswalks but no pedestrians, cars and trucks but no drivers. Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by researchers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2020) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. Theres even a “downtown” area complete with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas.The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before these technologies are unleashed in the real world.Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely, Peter Sweatman, director of the Mobility Transformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials. While Mcity drivers dont have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to see whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the researchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcitys limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and semi-autonomous(半自动) cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan.32. According to the passage, Mcity _.A. is a fake city with transportation system but no pedestriansB. covers an area of 32 acres with as many as 24 football fieldsC. owns a downtown area with a bridge and some unpaved roadsD. is a real town used to evaluate the function of future cars33. Why did researchers build Mcity?A. To make a real suburb or small city.B. To control road environment.C. To build an entire network of roads.D. To test new driverless cars.34. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. some connected and semi-autonomous cars have been put into useB. MTC is attempting to make connected and driverless cars available on real roadsC. the researchers plans to create a robot-like machine to direct the trafficD. the widespread use of driverless cars will soon come into reality in America35. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By presenting descriptions of the design.B. By describing a cause and its effects.C. By providing the time order.D. By comparing the opinions.第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。The year 2020 is the Year of Ox. 36 In the farming economy, oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁).Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing.
