Aside from the convenience of being chauffe

12、ured (私人司机) everywhere by artificial intelligence ( AI), theres the safety factor, not to mention how environmentally friendly driver-less electric vehicles could be. But theres also another advantageparking. Its one that could have a vast impact on the look, feel, and function of the cities, and it

13、 could thoroughly change the crowded urban spaces.“We arent going to need parking, definitely not in the places we have it now,” Alain L. Komhauser, a researcher at Princeton University, told Patrick Sisson at Curbed. “Having parking close to where people spend time is going to be a thing of the pas

14、t. If Im at the office, it doesnt need to be there.” The extreme case of totally empty car parks and city streets with no stationary (静止的) vehicles would probably require people to fully let go of personal car ownership.“Car sharing is already reducing the need for parking spaces,” Carlo Ratti told

15、Curbed. “Self-driving vehicles will strengthen this trend and have a dramatic effect on urban life, because they will blur (使模糊) the distinction between private and public modes of transportation,” he added. “Yourcar could give you a lift to work in the morning and then, rather than sitting useless

16、in a parking lot, give a lift to someone else in your neighbourhood，social-media community, or city.”In that case, we neednt park our cars. Theyll park by themselves, so we would see a huge increase in the width of sidewalks, bike lanes, and space for any other kind of transportation.In all likeliho

17、od, we wont see these kinds of changes happening very soon. But its exciting to think of the benefits this technology could bring.1、Why do the author mention the often-told advantages of self-driving cars?ATo draw a conclusion. BTo make a comparison.CTo analyze the underlying reasons. DTo introduce

18、the topic.2、How can we achieve zero parking in cities?ABy producing more eco-friendly electric cars.BBy selling public vehicles to personal owners.CBy promoting car-sharing with self-driving vehicles.DBy allowing only self-driving vehicles to run on roads.3、What will happen if we neednt park our car

20、icans will set their clocks forward an hour, as daylight saving time (sometimes wrongly called daylight savings time) begins and most of the United States can enjoy an extra hour of daylight. The spring and fall clock changes continue a long tradition started by Benjamin Franklin to conserve energy.

21、Benjamin Franklin lakes the honor (or the blame, depending on your view of the lime changes) for coming up with the idea to reset clocks in the summer months as a way to conserve energy. By moving clocks forward, people could take advantage of the extra evening daylight rather than wasting energy on

22、 lighting. At the time, Franklin was ambassador to Paris and so wrote a letter to the Journal of Paris in 1784, rejoicing over his “discovery” that the sun provides light as soon as it rises.Even so, DST (Daylight Saving Time) didnt officially begin until more than a century later. Germany establish

23、ed DST in May 1916 as a way to conserve fuel during World War I. The rest of Europe came onboard shortly thereafter. And in 1918, the United States adopted DST.Though President Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep daylight saving time after WWI ended, the country was mostly rural at the time and farmers ob

24、jected, partly because it would mean they lost an hour of morning light. And so daylight saving time was abolished until at the start of WWII, on Feb. 9, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt re-established daylight saving time year- round, calling it “War Time.”After the war, a free-for-all system in

25、which U.S. states and towns were given the choice of whether or not to observe DST led to disorder. And in 1966, to avoid such “Wild West” confusion, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. That federal law meant that any state observing DST and they didnt have to jump on the DST system had to follow

26、a uniform timing system throughout the state in which daylight saving time would begin on the first Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October.Then, in 2007, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 went into effect, expanding the length of daylight saving lime to the present timing.1、What is the pa

These monkeys are not actually the first pr

30、imates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell

31、. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNASuccess came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or u

32、sing several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadnt been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water o

33、n the idea that the teams results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, an

34、d it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolut

35、ely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.1、What do we know about the technology called SCNT?AIt created the first two primates.BIt ma

37、DAdding supportive evidence to it.3、What is the scientists purpose to clone these monkeys?ATo prepare for their research on human cloning.BTo serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.CTo help with the study of human diseases.DTo raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.4、What can we infe

39、colour” in British English(BrE) goes without the “u” in American English (AmE). But according to a chart made recently by website Grammar Check, these are far from being the only differences between the two countries use of English. The chart outlined 63 of the main contrasts between BrE and AmE, fr

40、om the more well-known “lift/elevator” and “autumn/fall” to the lesser-known “garden/yard” and “petrol/gasoline”.Some of the vocabulary mismatches are so different that two people in a conversation may fail to understand each other. For example，the two countries have different names for certain food

41、. “ Biscuits “ and “sweets” in Britain are known as “cookies” and “candy” , respectively, in the US. But while getting food names mixed up only causes confusion, some misunderstandings may lead to embarrassment if youre not careful. I f a British man in the US is asked to show up a party in “pants”,

42、 theres a chance that he might get a lot of stares from other guests. “Pants” in the UK means underwear. “Trousers” are what you need to ask a British friend to wear if you dont want them to cause a scene among your friends.However, even if 63 is already a lot, there are still many differences that

43、the chart failed to cover. If a US girl walks into a UK barber and says “I want to have my bangs fixed”, for example, it could take a while before the hairdresser realizes what she means is actually her “fringe”.1、By presenting the first paragraph, the author mainly tell us .Athe chart is made by Gr
