By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by

18、an industry research firm. Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people, said Chris Urmson, director of Googles self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for rese

19、arch. But they will hit public roads this summer near Googles headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator(油门) or brake pedal. Our software and sensors do all the work, Urmson sa

20、id. The vehicles will be very basicwe want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possiblebut they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button. The prototypes(雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads

21、the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who cant drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they dont own. The company

22、has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to opera

23、te such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerator and brake pedals to allow safety drivers to take control if needed.Google says the cars are safe. The vehicl

30、reatment system than physical treatment It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture， not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow develo

38、to get rid of fat in a small preliminary study. Six people who had received the stimulation（刺激）lost on average about 8 percent of the fat on their trunks in four months, scientists reported at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience,The headset stimulated the vestibular nerve（前庭神经）, which

39、 runs just behind the ears. That nerve sends signals to the hypothalamus, a brain structure thought to control the bodys fat storage. By stimulating the nerve with an electrical current, the technique shifts the body away from storing fat toward burning it.Six overweight and obese people received th

40、e treatment, consisting of up to four one-hour-long sessions of stimulation a week. Because it activated the vestibular system, the stimulation created the sensation of gently rocking on a boat or floating in a pool, said the studys co-author Jason McKeown of the University of California, San Diego.

41、After four months, body scans measured the trunk fat for the six people receiving the treatment and three people who received unreal stimulation. All six in the treatment group lost some trunk fat, despite not having changed their activity or diet. In contrast, those in the unreal group gained some

42、fat. Researchers suspect that changes in the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within human cells are behind the difference. “The results were a lot better than we thought theyd be,” McKeown said.Earlier studies found that vestibular nerve stimulation causes mice to drop fat and pack o

43、n muscle, resulting in what McKeown called Schwarzenegger mice. Though small, the current study suggests that the approach has promise in people. McKeown and his colleagues have started a company based on the technology and plan to test it further.1、What is an electrical current used for?ACausing th

44、e body to bum its fat.BControlling the bodys storage of fat.CSeeing if the headset will be affected.DSpeeding the process of ones digesting.2、Whats the probable reason for the different results in participants?AThe length of stimulation they received.BThe type of stimulation they received.CThe diffe

45、rence in their vestibular system.DThe way chemicals process in their body.3、Which is true about McKeowns current findings?AThey have a kind of practical value.BThey go against those of earlier tests on mice.CThey were widely recognized at the meeting.DThey have been tested by MeKeowns company.4、What

46、 can be the best title of the text?AThe science of zapping fatBA new trial of weight lossCZapping certain nerves leads to fat lossDExercise for weight loss and get fit25（10分） Next month, Im traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala one of the local languages t

47、o have a conversation. I wasnt sure how I was going to manage this until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary Im going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the application Im using. It feels just like a game.“People often stop learning things because they feel theyre not making progress or because

48、it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “Were trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something youd want to do instead of watching TV.”Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in y

49、our “greenhouse”. When you learn the words, you “water your plants”. When the application believes that youve really memorized a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the application sends you emails, reminding you to “water your plants”.The application uses two prin

50、ciples about learning. The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created I im

51、agined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because its the kind of application you only use for five or ten minutes a day.Ive learnt

52、hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this wont make me a fluent speaker, but I hope Ill be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my Vocabulary!1、What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?ACreate memorable experiences.BMake progr

53、ess with hard work.CLearning words instead of watching TV.DCombine study with entertainment.2、What are you doing when you “water your plants”?ALogging on to the application.BBeing a Memrise user.CPractising the vocabulary.DMoving words to your garden.3、How does Memrise work?ABy linking different mem

54、s together.BBy putting knowledge into practice.CBy offering human translation services.DBy applying an associative memory approach.4、What is the authors attitude towards Memrise?ADoubtful.BPositive.CUninterested.DNegative.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项2
