Traveler
My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment．His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it．Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things．At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people．
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool．Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off．In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places．The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hold water in Paris．The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word． His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication．When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really ”, I knocked a little hole in his communication．So I just sat and listened． I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure．It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me．In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that．Youth travels light．No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely．I sit here amazed．The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week．
4. During the trip, the author’s son ______.
A. ran out of money
B. had inadequate sleep
C. forgot to call his mother
D. failed to take good pictures
5. According to the passage, which of the following could best describe the author’s son
A. Polite and careless．
B. Creative and stubborn.
C. Considerate and independent.
D. Self-centered and adventurous.
6. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to
A. It is important to listen to your child’s story.
B. It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.
C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.
D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
7. What can we infer from the passage
A. Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.
B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C. It’s a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore．
D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了作者十五岁儿子旅行，同时介绍了旅行中所发生的事情，作者认为给予自己孩子足够的自由空间让他们自己去经历和体验是一种双赢的选择。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment，可知作者的儿子刚旅游回到家的蒙头大睡了，因此可推断他在旅游的过程中缺乏睡眠，故B选项正确。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes，由此可推断作者的儿子的其中一个性格是considerate(体贴的，考虑周全的)；又根据文章说作者的儿子自己去旅行，很多事情都一个人去处理，也可推断他是一个独立的（independent）的人。结合各个选项的意思，可知选C。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词的所在的句子中的上一句的内容In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.，可知上一句所说的是作者作为家长实际上也没有给到他儿子多少的建议和意见，由此分析，可知选D正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文，根据作者对他儿子这次去旅游之前，去的时候给家里打电话以及回来之后的一连串的分析和思考，可知作者认为给予自己孩子足够的自由空间让他们自己去经历和体验是一种双赢的选择，故选C

Of all my dreams, my least favorite is the one where I’m in a car. It always begins with me driving, but eventually I realize that for some reason I’m sitting in the back seat. I can’t keep the car under control, rushing toward the roadside until, screaming, I wake up.
This is like the passenger experience in Waymo’s self-driving cars You sit in the back seat of a vehicle and watch as the wheel turns itself above an entirely empty driving seat.
“We made you live your nightmare,” a Waymo staff member joked after I exited one of the company’s fully self-driving car, following a quick drive inside its secret testing site. Waymo, a self-driving car company, arranged these rides for 40 journalists at this site.
There were also some demonstrations (示范). We watched as a Waymo car was cut off by a speeding vehicle. Then the employees created a situation in which a pile of moving boxes fell into the street just as another car passed in the opposite direction. Throughout the day, the cars per- formed impressively, driving with the level of care you might take if you had a wedding cake in the back seat.
During these demonstrations, Waymo gave information about what it was planning to do with these vehicles. The company has laid out four ways that its technology could be made available to the public. But Waymo’s CEO, John Krafcik, wouldn’t show which of these was likely to come to market first, or on what kind of timeline.
I can’t help but admire that Waymo is succeeding in developing this technology. There are countless possibilities at play on the road. The task of programming software to react to all those situations is unimaginably complex. What a great breakthrough!
8. How did the author feel about her driving experience in her dream
A. It was thrilling. B. It was amusing.
C. It was puzzling. D. It was terrifying.
9. What might the author be
A. She’s a reporter. B. She’s a software engineer.
C. She’s a test driver. D. She’s a saleswoman in Waymo.
10. What did the author intend to prove by mentioning the wedding cake
A. The employees performed well.
B. The self-driving cars worked well.
C. The employees drove with great care.
D. The self-driving cars ran at a steady speed.
11. What did the author learn about the self-driving technology from the demonstrations
A. Time to put it on the market. B. Ways to put it on the market.
C. Future improvement it needs. D. Programming software it used.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一家名为Waymo的自动驾驶汽车公司向记者们展示了旗下的技术和产品，作者也参与其中并亲身体验了自动驾驶。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“I can’t keep the car under control, rushing toward the roadside until, screaming, I wake up.”从梦境中尖叫醒来的反应以及第三段出现的“nightmare”一词可知，作者是感到害怕的。A选项thrilling惊险的；B选项amuing好玩的；C选项puzzling令人迷惑的；D选项terrifying吓人的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。从第三段最后一句“Waymo, a self-driving car company, arranged these rides for 40 journalists at this site.”可知Waymo公司在秘密地点为40名记者安排了试驾体验，而作者也是其中之一。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Throughout the day, the cars per- formed impressively”可知，给出这个比喻体现自动驾驶的谨小慎微程度，就是在说明其安全可靠，表现良好。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“The company has laid out four ways that its technology could be made available to the public.”可知，通过这些示范，Waymo公司展示了四种方式将它们的技术面向公众，就意味着投入市场开始生产。故选B项。

One of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful soul you've grown fond of.Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters.The spring's nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large,old trees to rot in part.Then,when the summer came,trees could not tap deep sources of water that would normally have maintained(维持）them.Many valuable old trees died.
When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission,I heard from many people concerned about their trees.We had little to offer them.That's because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees.No state or province program that I could find provided any financial resources for maintaining tree health. Small and under resourced cities such as ours were on their own.
This is backward.Scientists are learning that large,old trees are the most valuable,especially in cities.They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. They harbor the most wildlife.They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or more.In a recent study,researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees.There's reason to think this finding would apply in other cities,too.
Now,our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late.As long as we abandon our old trees,planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losses. We want trees to help protect us,but we leave them unprotected.Consider this in the human world:Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and it's why we have schools and child health-insurance programs.We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them.
12. What does the underlined part in paragraph1 suggest
A. Strong determination to plant trees.
B. Real regret at growing old trees.
C. Great concern about tree problems.
D. Deep love for valuable old trees.
13. Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees
A. The urban tree programs were faced with financial problems.
B. The author's knowledge of maintaining tree health was limited.
C. The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.
D. The organization the author volunteered on was short of tree experts.
14. The author argues in paragraph 3 by.
A. comparing different cases
B. presenting research findings
C. referring to scientists' sayings
D. carrying out some experiments
15. Why does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end
A. To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.
B. To show the close connection between trees and babies.
C. To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.
D. To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。通过对一些古树死去，大树能够提供人们的资源的描述，来提倡我们要保护树木，才能从树木身上获取更多的益处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. … Many valuable old trees died. 去年夏天对于古树和它们的人类支持者来说比以往任何时候都艰难。春季不间断的雨水淹没了土壤，导致许多大型古树根系部分腐烂。然后，当夏天到来时，树木就不能从深层的水源中获取水分，而这些水分通常可以维持它们的生长。许多珍贵的古树死了。对于古树和人类支持者来说都很艰难，因为他们失去了他们喜爱的古树。由此可以推断第一句主要描述的是古树爱好者对古树的爱，故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many people concerned about their trees. We had little to offer them. That's because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees.当我在雷尼尔山树木委员会做志愿者时，我听到许多人关心他们的树木。我们几乎没有什么可以提供给他们。这是因为公共和私人城市树木资源和项目几乎完全是为了种树，而不是维护树木。由此可知作者无力帮助担心树木的人们，是因为树木资源和计划的重点是植树。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段In a recent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees. There's reason to think this finding would apply in other cities, too. 在最近的一项研究中，研究人员发现，波士顿从保持现有树木存活中获得的好处要比种植新的树木多。我们有理由认为，这一发现也适用于其他城市。由此判断出本段是通过提出调查结果来进行论证的。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Consider this in the human world: Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and it's why we have schools and child health-insurance programs. We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them. 想想人类世界的情况吧：没有人会把一个婴儿送到这个世界上，然后指望他能活下来。孩子们需要照顾，这就是为什么我们有学校和儿童健康保险计划。我们可以从我们的树木中得到更多，如果我们只是多关心他们一点。由此比喻可以推断作者是在呼吁人们要关心和保护树木。故选C。
【点睛】推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义，即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含infer（推断），suggest（暗示），imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推断，得出结论）等词语。解此类题，首先找到相关信息，然后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义，最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而理解作者的言外之意。如小题1，根据第一段Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. … Many valuable old trees died. 去年夏天对于古树和它们的人类支持者来说比以往任何时候都艰难。春季不间断的雨水淹没了土壤，导致许多大型古树根系部分腐烂。然后，当夏天到来时，树木就不能从深层的水源中获取水分，而这些水分通常可以维持它们的生长。许多珍贵的古树死了。对于古树和人类支持者来说都很艰难，因为他们失去了他们喜爱的古树。由此可以推断第一句主要描述的是古树爱好者对古树的爱，故选D。

【详解】考查现在分词。句意：国内生产总值持续稳定增长，目前已跃居世界第二位。根据“second in the world now”和首字母r可知，此处是指在世界上位列第二，动词rank意为“排名”，和谓语动词“has been growing”之间没有连词，和主语“Chinese GDP”之间构成主动关系，所以应用现在分词一般式的主动形式作伴随状语。故填ranking。
37. There is nothing a________ about his ability to make his work successful. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】ambiguous##mbiguous
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：他有能力使他的工作成功，这是毫无疑问的。空格处用形容词作nothing的后置定语，由his ability to make his work successful可知，句子表示“他有能力使他的工作成功，这是毫无疑问的”，因此空格处意为“不明确的，不明朗的”，由首字母提示a可知，是ambiguous，故填ambiguous。
38. C________ education refers to a period of education that is required of every person. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】Compulsory##ompulsory
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：义务教育是指每个人都需要接受的一段时间的教育。根据“a period of education that is required of every person”可知，此处是指义务教育，根据首字母c可知，应用形容词compulsory表示“义务的”作定语修饰名词education。故填Compulsory。
39. The European Union has proposed new ________ (规章) to control the hours worked by its employees.(根据汉语意思单词拼写)
【答案】regulations
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：欧盟提出了新的规定来控制其员工的工作时间。根据汉语意思“规章”，可知应填名词regulation，作宾语，前文没有冠词，故用复数泛指。故填regulations。
40. Many people ________ their love of sports to the perfect weather conditions for it.（归功于）(根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】owe
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和一般现在时。句意：许多人把他们对运动热爱归功于完美的天气条件。表示“归功于”应用动词owe，此处没有明显的时间限制，所以应用一般现在时。故填owe。
第三节 单句语法填空（共10小题：每小题1分, 满分10分）
在空白处填入1个适当的连接词或括号内单词的正确形式。
41. It is not a problem______________we can win the battle;it's just a matter of time. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whether
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句的连接词。句意:我们能否打赢这场战斗不是问题；这只是时间问题。根据下文it’s just a matter of time可知，此处指”我们能否打赢这场战斗不是问题”，it是形式主语，whether引导的从句是真正的主语。故答案为whether。
42. Dr. Rowan, ________ secretary resigned (辞职) two weeks ago, has had to do all his own typing.（用适当的词填空）
【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：罗文博士的秘书两周前辞职，他不得不自己打字。分析句子可知，Dr. Rowan为先行词，作定语从句的定语，与secretary构成所属关系，故关系代词为whose。故填whose。
43. Scientists have obtained more evidence ___________ plastic is finding its way into the human body. （用单词适当形式填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：科学家已经获得更多证据，塑料正在进入人们的体内。从句不缺句子成分，且与evidence指代的是同一事件，所以用that引导同位语从句，对evidence进行补充说明。故填that。
44. She and her family bicycle to work,___________helps them keep fit. （用适当的单词填空）
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：她和她的家人骑自行车去上班，这有助于他们保持健康。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的整个句子，关系词代替它在从句中充当主语，应用关系代词which，故填which。
45. This is ________ my father has taught me—to always face difficulties and hope for the best. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：这就是我父亲教给我的——总是面对困难，抱着最好的希望。在表语从句中缺少taught的宾语，根据“to always face difficulties and hope for the best”可知，此处是指道理，所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
46. Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city in the world, Paris ________（be）the largest. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】being
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：蒙特利尔是世界上第二大法语城市，巴黎是最大的。空格处和系动词之间没有连词，所以应用独立主格结构。be动词和Paris构成主动关系，且表示伴随状态，所以应用现在分词形式。故填being。
47. But how do you really know what exists unless you do an ________ (assess) in depth. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】assessment
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：但是，除非你做一个深入的评估，否则你如何真正知道存在什么。在冠词an后应用名词单数assessment表示“评估”作动词do的宾语。故填assessment。
48. In a gesture to help preserve history, the Greek government appointed a committee in 1975 ________(undertake) a complete repair of the Acropolis. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】to undertake
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了保护历史，希腊政府在1975年任命了一个委员会，对雅典卫城进行全面修复。appoint sb to do sth意为“任命某人做某事”，为固定搭配，此处用to do不定式作宾语补足语。故填to undertake。
49. One reason why crocodiles are such good ________ (survive) is that they can go for a very long time without eating. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】survivors
【解析】
【详解】考查名词复数。句意：鳄鱼之所以能存活如此之久的一个原因是它们可以很长时间不吃东西。根据主语crocodiles可知，此处应用名词survivor表示“幸存者”说明crocodiles的性质，根据代词they可知，survivor应为复数。故填survivors。
50. I knew it was going to be hard to find another job in the ________(compete) working market. (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】competitive
【解析】

第二节 (满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But they are doing well in their life. You keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (深思) the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was: "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child." Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear " I was surprised when she asked me this on this occasion.
I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learned about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you a reason why. But today is the day you will know the answer." I look puzzled. "All your previous answers-ears, eyes, hands, heart…They are all very important to yourself. But this time I need you to think of something that is important to others."
Paragraph 1:
"My dear, the most important body part," she said,
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Mom, I understand. And you can cry on my shoulder too."
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
"My dear, the most important body part," she said, "is your shoulder." "Is it because it holds up your head " I asked. "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry," she replied, "Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." I saw her eyes well up with tears.
Paragraph 2：
"Mom, I learned. And you can cry on my shoulder too." And silently, my mother put her head on my shoulder and started to cry. It was not heavy at all, and the wetness didn't make me uncomfortable either. In fact when her warm tears damped my shoulder, I felt the pain in her heart, and I knew how hurt and lonely and vulnerable (脆弱的) she was at that moment. I felt important. I felt like a man. I was there when someone I loved dearly needed me most.

Traveler
My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks and is asleep at the moment．His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it．Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things．At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people．
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool．Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off．In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places．The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hold water in Paris．The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word． His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication．When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really ”, I knocked a little hole in his communication．So I just sat and listened． I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure．It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me．In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that．Youth travels light．No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely．I sit here amazed．The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week．
4. During the trip, the author’s son ______.
A. ran out of money
B. had inadequate sleep
C. forgot to call his mother
D. failed to take good pictures
5. According to the passage, which of the following could best describe the author’s son

A. It is important to listen to your child’s story.
B. It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.

D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
7. What can we infer from the passage

B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C. It’s a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore．
D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.

Of all my dreams, my least favorite is the one where I’m in a car. It always begins with me driving, but eventually I realize that for some reason I’m sitting in the back seat. I can’t keep the car under control, rushing toward the roadside until, screaming, I wake up.
This is like the passenger experience in Waymo’s self-driving cars. You sit in the back seat of a vehicle and watch as the wheel turns itself above an entirely empty driving seat.
“We made you live your nightmare,” a Waymo staff member joked after I exited one of the company’s fully self-driving car, following a quick drive inside its secret testing site. Waymo, a self-driving car company, arranged these rides for 40 journalists at this site.
There were also some demonstrations (示范). We watched as a Waymo car was cut off by a speeding vehicle. Then the employees created a situation in which a pile of moving boxes fell into the street just as another car passed in the opposite direction. Throughout the day the cars per- formed impressively, driving with the level of care you might take if you had a wedding cake in the back seat.
During these demonstrations, Waymo gave information about what it was planning to do with these vehicles. The company has laid out four ways that its technology could be made available to the public. But Waymo’s CEO, John Krafcik, wouldn’t show which of these was likely to come to market first, or on what kind of timeline.
I can’t help but admire that Waymo is succeeding in developing this technology. There are countless possibilities at play on the road. The task of programming software to react to all those situations is unimaginably complex. What a great breakthrough!
8. How did the author feel about her driving experience in her dream
A. It was thrilling. B. It was amusing.
C. It was puzzling. D. It was terrifying.
9. What might the author be
A. She’s a reporter. B. She’s a software engineer.
C. She’s a test driver. D. She’s a saleswoman in Waymo.
10 What did the author intend to prove by mentioning the wedding cake
A. The employees performed well.
B. The self-driving cars worked well.
C. The employees drove with great care.
D The self-driving cars ran at a steady speed.
11. What did the author learn about the self-driving technology from the demonstrations
A. Time to put it on the market. B. Ways to put it on the market.
C. Future improvement it needs. D. Programming software it used.
D
One of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful soul you've grown fond of.Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters.The spring's nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large,old trees to rot in part.Then,when the summer came,trees could not tap deep sources of water that would normally have maintained(维持）them.Many valuable old trees died.
When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission,I heard from many people concerned about their trees.We had little to offer them.That's because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees.No state or province program that I could find provided any financial resources for maintaining tree health. Small and under resourced cities such as ours were on their own.
This is backward.Scientists are learning that large,old trees are the most valuable,especially in cities.They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. They harbor the most wildlife.They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or more.In a recent study,researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees.There's reason to think this finding would apply in other cities,too.
Now,our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late.As long as we abandon our old trees,planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losses. We want trees to help protect us,but we leave them unprotected.Consider this in the human world:Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and it's why we have schools and child health-insurance programs.We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them.
12. What does the underlined part in paragraph1 suggest
A. Strong determination to plant trees.
B. Real regret at growing old trees.
C. Great concern about tree problems.
D. Deep love for valuable old trees.
13. Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees
A. The urban tree programs were faced with financial problems.
B. The author's knowledge of maintaining tree health was limited.
C. The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.
D. The organization the author volunteered on was short of tree experts.
14. The author argues in paragraph 3 by.
A. comparing different cases
B. presenting research findings
C. referring to scientists' sayings
D. carrying out some experiments
15. Why does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end
A. To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.
B. To show the close connection between trees and babies.
C. To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.
D. To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But they are doing well in their life. You keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (深思) the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was: "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child." Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear " I was surprised when she asked me this on this occasion.
I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learned about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you a reason why. But today is the day you will know the answer." I look puzzled. "All your previous answers-ears, eyes, hands, heart…They are all very important to yourself. But this time I need you to think of something that is important to others."
