The broadcast system announced numbers to call ticket holders to reach the desk to take an eye test or renew a registration. I felt as though we were staying at a bingo game，waiting for the winning number to be called so we could jump up and collect the prize.And on that bench，I had a thought：The seemingly ordinary events I ve shared with my granddaughter were both my adventures and my rewards for just showing up. I grew up in an immigrant （移民）family in the suburb of Boston. A vacation for us was a bus trip to Central Square，with shopping bags filled with delicious foods like hard boiled eggs，followed by the muddy sand sucking our toes.I looked forward to these small outings. It sounded boring to seek out the simple pleasures，but it was not. I traveled to remote islands，to Europe，and to many of America s cities. Those trips were refreshing，but they were breaks. I prefer the mainstream of the ordinary.I like the day trips. But the most wonderful time was when Mary and I stayed in the reading room. We talked about her homework，and played the roles of two thinkers discussing the Enlightenment （启蒙运动）. We had our private book club，reading A Prayer for Owen Meany and copying the voice of the main character.All of these ordinary moments are more valuable than the time it will take to travel around the world. Many people love adventures，like skydiving or climbing Mount Everest. But that is not who I am. I dont need those adventure experiences. In the end，it turns out that just showing up isenough for me.24. What was the author doing at the DMV according to Paragraph 1？A. Being with Mary to renew a license. B. Preparing to take a driving exam.C. Playing a bingo game with Mary. D. Celebrating Mary s 21st birthday.25. Why does the author mention her childhood？A. To express her enthusiasm for traveling. B.

She was fond of reading by herself. B. She served as the best teacher for Mary.C. She had a good relationship with Mary. D. She was a sociable and caring grandmother.27. What is the best title for the text？A. The unforgettable experience at DMV B. My pleasant childhood memoriesC. My life with my granddaughter D. Happiness from ordinary eventsCYour next car might drive itself. After years of trials on city streets，driverless vehicles（车辆）are now nearing the practical use. Last month，a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon，France. Most in the automobile industry think self driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020.Driverless cars will at first be huddled with human driven cars. But the first places where they will become dominant（占优势的）are crowded urban areasexactly the spots most damaged by the car age. Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven vehicles. Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 per cent. That s bigthe annual death toll on the world s roads is about 1. 2 million a year. Pollution and carbon emission（排放）will drop， because urban driverless cars will be electric. The old，otherwise，would stay at home most of the time and the disabled and teenagers will suddenly gain mobility.On the other hand，driverless cars will bring terrible results. The best thing about the car agewas that it employed tens of millions of people to make，market，insure and drive vehicles. Over the next 20 years，the mostly low skilled men who now drive trucks，taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced. Car makers are especially scared. The few cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple，Baidu and Google. Imagine the influences on Germany，where there is the largest vehicle industry.Dramatic change is coming，and driverless cars could arrive by 2020. But governments have hardly begun thinking about it. Only 6 per cent of the biggest US cities have considered them in their long term planning.Ten years ago，anyone hardly saw the smartphone coming. But now it is so common in our daily life. Let s hope we do a better job of handling the driverless car.28. Which can replace the underlined words “be huddled with”in Paragraph 2？A. Show up. B. Exist together. C. Get rid of. D. Take the place of.29. Why can driverless cars reduce pollution and carbon emission？A. They will be powered by electricity. B. They will reduce the number of cars.C. They will save fuel by driving themselves. D. They will reduce too many accidents.30. What can we know about driverless cars？A. They will not hit the road until 2020. B. They will only be used in urban areas.C. They will not cause any road accident. D. They arent still seriously taken officially.31. What s the author s attitude towards driverless cars？A. Doubtful. B. Praising. C. Hopeful. D. Worried.DIt may be time to tailor students class timetables to their natural biological rhythms （节律）， according to a new study.Researchers tracked the personal daily online activity records of nearly 15,000 college students. Based on their activities on days when they were not in class，firstly the researchers divided the students into different sorts. They are “night owls”students who enjoy staying awake all night，“daytime finches”students who are active in the daytime，and “morning larks”students who get up early. Then the researchers compared their class times with their academic results.Their findings showed that students whose biological rhythms were out of step with their class timetables，for example，night owls taking early morning courses，received lower grades. This disagreement is caused by the “social jet lag”（社会性时差）a condition in which one s peak watchfulness times are in disagreement with work，school or other demands. “We found that most students were being jet lagged by their class times，which was related very strongly with their dropping academic performance，”said Benjamin Smarr.“Our research indicates that if a student can always keep the same schedule pattern in which class days resemble non class days，they are more likely to achieve academic success，”said Aaron Schirmer. While students of all categories suffered from class caused jet lag，the study found that night owls were especially to be affected easily. But it s not as simple as students just staying up too late. “Because owls are later and classes tend to be earlier，this mismatch hits owls the hardest，but we notice that larks and finches who take later classes also suffer from the mismatch，”said Smarr.Different people really do have biologically various timing，so there isnt a one-time-fits-all way for education. The results suggest that “rather than warn late students to go to bed earlier，in disagreement with their biological rhythms，we should work to individualize （使个性化）education. In this way，learning and classes are structured to take advantage of knowing at what time of day a given student will be most fit to learn，” Smarr said.32. Why did the researchers carry out the new study？A. To make timetables more suitable to students biological rhythms.B. To analyze the causes of students different sleeping patterns.C. To ask students to pay more attention to their health.D. To keep track of students daily online activities.33. Which is probably the main cause of students poor grades？A. Tight class timetables. B. Biological diversity.C. Social jet lag. D. High academic demands.34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A. Education should be individualized.B. Biologically various timing calls for proper solutions.C. Education should focus on students full development.D. Students should adapt themselves to various education patterns.35. What does the text mainly talk about？A. Students should keep a busy timetable.B. Students should have good sleeping habits.C. Students have biologically various timing.D. Biological rhythms matter in students grades.第二节（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。There are many great reasons to be a list maker. 36 Lists can also give you a sense of calm and can even save you when it comes to organizing work，school，important events and life in general.
