For most people, getting a car opens up a new world of freedom and allows you to go wherever you want and whenever you want. Getting a car did 16 these for me, and it also brought my best friend and me 17 . But then it tore us apart(分开).
My best friend lives three minutes from my home. Since her 18 is in late summer, seven months behind mine, I seemed to become her 19 when I turned 16 in December.
And so I picked her up for school and took her home. We made ice-cream 20 , went shopping and to the movies — all in my car. I would drive to her house just to sit on her bed, read magazines and have a good laugh. I went to her house so frequently that she gave me a key 21 her house.
A week after I began to drive, she was with me 22 I had my first accident. She was there and comforted me and we kept it a 23 , since I didn’t want people to 24 . From then on, through thick and thin(患难与共), it was just me, my car and my best friend.
High school is a time of 25 , but I couldn’t understand for a long time 26 we became so distant. Finally, my friend got her dream car. With its 27 , the passenger seat of my car became 28 . Our car trips became less frequent until I didn’t 29 drive down her street.
It’s funny how a car can change a relationship so much. I had wanted her to get a car, but once she did, I 30 it. I wanted her friendship back, even if it couldn’t be the same.

Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history.
The first one was made by a Greek inventor. You may have seen robots in some films. The robots in these films are stronger,faster and cleverer than people. In real life,most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous,difficult or boring jobs. Some people can’t look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example,some people can’t see. Many of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This dog is called a guide dog. Scientists are making a robot to help them. In the future,robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.
Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital,a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people’s rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.
In the future,robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of human. They can,however,help us in a lot of different ways.

(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob ” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells ” cried Bob.
The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you ”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”
“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy ”
“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells.” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one.” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”

Even if you’re not among the 95% of millennials (千禧一代) that take selfies (自拍), you know that selfie is the ruling king of amateur photography. According to a wave of recent reporting, the prevalence (盛行) of selfies is unbelievable: the average millennial will take 25,700 in their lifetime; it is claimed that females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per week, and on average, 93 million selfies are taken worldwide each day.
But perhaps the most shocking statistic involves a far smaller number: 49. That’s the number of people that have died taking a selfie since just 2014.
People dying while attempting to snap the perfect photo of themselves isn’t new or breaking news, of course. Statistics have figured out that there were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in the year 2015.
Digital Trends found that 30 percent of all photos 18-to-24-year-olds take are selfies. And while women generally take more selfies than men—61.6 percent of selfies taken in New York City featured a woman, men tend to be much rasher.
Despite the selfie prevalence among United States’ celebrities (名人), exhibited by everyone from Ellen GeGeneres to Kim Kardashian, the country is far from the worst for taking selfies. Nineteen, or 40 percent of the deaths since 2014 happened in India. Seven happened in Russia, and five in the US.
The ease of photography and the dopamine (多巴胺) producing satisfaction of social media stars aren’t entirely to blame, though. None of the deaths were caused by the photograph itself, but happened because the person wasn’t paying attention to the dangers around them. Regardless, maybe it’s high time to let the selfie trend finally die.
38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per day.
B. The number of people that have died taking a selfie since 2014 is 49.
C. There were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in 2014.
D. 40% of the deaths by selfie since 2014 happened in Russia.
39. What results in death by selfie directly
A. the ease of photography
B. the dopamine producing satisfaction
C. the photograph itself
D. Photographer’s not paying attention to the dangers around
40. The passage mentions selfies exhibited by Ellen GeGeneres and Kim Kardashian in order to___________.
A. show that it’s high time to let the selfie trend finally die
B. show the prevalence of selfies among United States’ celebrities
C. show that none of the deaths were caused by the photograph itself
D. explain the US is far from the worst for taking selfies
41. What’s the author’s attitude towards the selfie trend
A. Negative B. Positive C. Neutral D. Grateful

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and matching skirt. “Do you like this ” she asked.
“It’s great,” I said. Jenny nodded and continued looking while I moved about, touching the beautiful clothes. “I’ll try this on.” Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit(一套衣服). She looked beautiful.
I sighed. Part of me wanted to say how good she looked, but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape that she’d look good in the outfit. Sometimes, I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can’t I be the one with the rich parents and the great look More and more, I was envious of her.
“Well, Teresa, what do you think ” Jenny asked more than once. “Do you like it ’’
The outfit looked great on her, but I lied, “Not really. I think you need something with more colors.”
“You think so " Jenny said doubtfully.
“Just believe me. We’ll find something better, "I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. “You just can’t buy the first thing you see.” I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the sweater one last look.
Just down the mall, we passed a yogurt place. ‘‘My treat, ’’Jenny said, pulling out her wallet.
I could never say no to chocolate, so we got some and sat down at a table. As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things, I thought about my feelings toward her. Those feelings weren’t kind.
Sitting there, Jenny was attractive not just because of her good luck, but more because of her kindness. Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity. She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.
Finishing our chocolate, we headed for the next clothing store. ‘‘Look at that red sweater.’’ Jenny said as we passed the window. ‘‘It would be perfect for you. Soon maybe you’ll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that.”
A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they’d buy it for her. This time, though, I heard more. I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was. I needed to express the same to her.
42. Teresa felt _________ when Jenny came out of the dressing room in the new outfit.
A. envious B. excited C. lonely D. comfortable
43. Teresa and Jenny __________ after they left the first clothing store.
A. headed for the next clothing store B. talked about the outfit Jenny wanted

A. Jenny lent me some money. B. Jenny asked for more chocolate.

China leads in innovation
At 9 am on Sept 21, a fully loaded high-speed train left Beijing for Shanghai. Seconds later when the screen showed a speed of 350 km/h, excited passengers held up their cameras and cellphones to take photos.
The train is China’s newest high-speed train, Fuxing. It’s now the fastest train in the world.
There were 2,595 high-speed trains running across China by 2016, taking up 60 percent of the world’s total high-speed trains. Chinese companies have also built more than 10 high-speed railways in Europe, Southeast Asia and South America. Overseas, the high-speed train has become a new name card for China. Besides the high-speed train, many other innovations (创新) have also changed people’s lives in China.
Bike sharing, for example, is not new itself. But China has made it much more convenient and popular. Because of companies like Ofo and Mobike, you can just get on a bike wherever you want and ride until you find an interesting new area. Shared bikes are also a environmentally-friendly way to get some exercise. Months ago, the Chinese bike-sharing companies Mobike and Ofo went to Singapore and Britain. Users there were excited and posted photos of themselves riding the bikes on social media.
But that’s not all. Suppose you are riding a bike on the street and stop to buy a bottle of water. When you reach into your pocket, you find that you have left your wallet at home. Don’t worry. It’s not a problem if you’re in China. You could just pay with your cellphone by scanning a quick respond code (QR, 二维码) from the seller. Cashless payment (无现金支付) has become a lifestyle choice in China. Even a street stall (摊位) selling fruit has QR codes. You can spend a whole day in a big city without any cash or bankcards while it is something you cannot imagine doing in Europe.
High speed trains, bike sharing and cashless payment ... Although these are not invented by the Chinese, China is the world leader in using these technologies. They are rapidly changing the lives of people in China and shaping modern society. It seems that China is really leading in some ways. And we have every reason to believe in an even brighter future.
Innovations High-speed trains China’s high-speed trains had taken up three 56_ of the world’s total by 2016. 57 them, Fuxing, which can run at a speed of 350 km/h, is the fastest. Also, China has been 58 for high-speed trains overseas.
Bike _59_ Although it was not 60 by Chinese, we’ve made it more popular and convenient. you can ride a bike at 61 place you want and it can also help protect the 62 .
Cashless payment Many Chinese have been 63 to paying with cellphones just by scanning a QR.
Conclusion China has 64 in using these technologies and we do have confidence in a _65_ future.
六、缺词填空:
A young rich man was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit fast in his new sports car. There were many kids p 66 among the cars.
