16、menu, i knew id be ordering every tomato on it.4what did the author think of her winter life in new york?aexciting.bboring.crelaxing. dannoying.【答案】 b 【解析】推理判断题。由第一段中的the freezing northeast hasnt been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter和dulled by months of coldweather root vegetables可知，作者

17、厌倦了纽约的冬天，因为那里根本没有乐趣，同时也厌倦了冬天的根茎蔬菜，所以可以推断出作者认为纽约的冬天是令人厌烦、枯燥和单调的。故选b项。a项exciting“令人兴奋的”，显然与作者真实的感受相反；c项relaxing“令人放松的”，文中体现不出作者明显的放松情绪；annoying“令人恼怒的”，作者只是感觉“枯燥、单调”，并非“恼怒”。5what made the authors getting up early worthwhile?ahaving a swim.bbreathing in fresh air.cwalking in the morning sun.dvisiting a

18、local farmers market.【答案】 d 【解析】细节理解题。根据题干关键信息词worthwhile可以定位到第一段的最后一句。由.the best part.was a 7 am.adventure to the sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wakeup call.可知，作者认为，早起去参观萨拉索塔农贸市场很值得，因此选d项。6. what can we learn about tomatoes sold in new york in winter?athey are s

20、味。故b项正确。a、c、d三项与作者所描述的纽约冬季出售的西红柿的现实情况相反，故排除。7what was the author going to do that evening?ago to a farm. bcheck into a hotel.ceat in a restaurant. dbuy fresh vegetables. 【答案】 c 【解析】推理判断题。根据题干关键信息词that evening可定位到最后一段中的.i learned that browns grove farm is one of the suppliers for jack dusty, a newly

21、opened restaurant at the sarasota ritz carlton, whereluckily for mei was planning to have dinner that very night.，句中的that very night是关键信息词。由此可知，这个农场是jack dusty(一个新开的饭馆)的一个(蔬菜和水果)供应商，而幸运的是作者那晚正好要去这个位于the sarasota ritz carlton的饭馆吃饭。故c项正确。此处并未提到“晚上去一个农场”“入住一家宾馆”，因此可以排除a、b两项。文章最后一句话说的是在那个饭馆直接点(order)每一道

22、带西红柿的菜，而不是d项所说的“买新鲜的蔬菜”。 cplease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. imagine telling someone what you have met today and what youre going to do. imagine their congratulations and their good image of you. doesnt it feel good to say it out loud? dont you feel one step closer al

26、 then half of them announced their commitment(许诺）to this goal to the room, and half didnt. then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them toward their goals, but they were told that they could stop at any time. those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes o

27、n average, and when asked afterward, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goals. but those who had announced their plans quit after only 33 minutes on average , and when asked afterward,said that they felt much closer to achieving their goals.8. what do the underlined words soci

31、his idea about peoples goals?a. by giving figures. b. by giving examples.c. by making a survey. d. by making comparison tests.【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，彼得戈尔维策是通过对比测试来证明他的观点的。故选d项。11.what will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?a. you will be more confident. b.you will not gain satis

32、faction.c. you are less likely to realize it. d. youll be much more motivated.【答案】c【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“but when you tell others your goal . youre less motivated to do the actual hard work necessarily.可知，当他人认可了你的目标的时候，你的大脑就会被欺骗，觉得目标已经完成了。因为你有了满足感，所以会缺乏动力。故可推知，如果你把目标告诉你的朋友，你就不太可能实现目标。故选c项。dself-driving

34、rom all sorts of driving situations, and on all types of roads. however, most of the data on self-driving cars safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways,where the most important tasks are staying in the cars own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. automated car

35、s are good at those tasks,but so are humans.it is true that self-driving cars dont get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk. but neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or in anticipation of an attentive human driver , nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential

36、perils. they largely drive from moment to moment, rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.to a self-driving car, a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited cornfield. indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans , but

39、utomated vehicles have to be performed carefully. to fairly evaluate how well driverless cars fulfill their promise of improved safety, its important to ensure the data presented actually provide a true comparison. after all, choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply on
