A
Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages（优势）. You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable. Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self driven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self driven car may be able to stop this. However， some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
26. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. get readers to pay attention to road safety
B. tell readers the danger of self driven cars
C. ask readers to keep away from heavy traffic
D. make readers be interested in self driven cars
27. The testing self driven cars need ________ to run.
A. solar energy B. water
C. electricity D. coal
28. From the passage, we know that the testing self driven cars can already ________.
A. stop any accident on the road
B. turn around when getting near other cars
C. control the speed in dangerous situations
D. park themselves with the help of the drivers
29. Which is NOT helpful to make the self driven cars run safely according to the passage
A. E reading. B. Wireless signals.
C. Cameras. D. GPS.
30. What is Whit Drake's attitude（态度）toward the safety of the self-driven cars
A. He has doubt about it
B. He believes it completely
C. He doesn't care about it.
D. He dislikes new technology.
【答案】26. D 27. C 28. C 29. A 30.A
【解析】本文讲述了无人驾驶汽车。一辆空车在去接主人的路上经过，或者一辆满载乘客的车正在阅读、听音乐甚至睡觉。有几家公司正在研发无人驾驶汽车，但是有些人并不喜欢这样的情况。
26.推理判断题。根据What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves 如果汽车能自动驾驶，世界会变成什么样子 所以是让读者对无人驾驶汽车感兴趣，故选D。
27.细节理解题。根据If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon.如果测试成功，这些电动、自动驾驶的汽车将很快面世。所以是用电的，故选C。
28.细节理解题。根据They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.如果有危险情况，他们还可以控制速度。故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon. 科学家们相信，在无线信号、摄像头和GPS的帮助下，很快就有可能制造出一辆安全的自动驾驶汽车。所以没有E reading，故选A。
30.推理判断题。题意： Whit Drake对无人驾驶小车的安全的态度是什么？A. He has doubt about it他对此感到怀疑；B. He believes it completely他完全相信；C. He doesn't care about it.他不关心。由短文最后的句子可知，他不相信这种小车是安全的，科技也会出错。故选A。

Trains are a good form of public transport(公共交通). British people use trains a lot. This is especially for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests when they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks(安检) before they are used on the rail tracks.
What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs(电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.
31. How long does it take people to travel from London to Paris by train
A. Only two and a half hours. B. About one hour.
C. More than 3 hours. D. About one hour and a half.
32. The second paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the of trains.
A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems
33. Londoners often travel by train because trains are .
A. old and slow B. large, clean and comfortable
C. fine and important D. fast, safe and comfortable
34. What can we know from the passage
A. We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. We can do our work with personal computers on the train.
C. We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.

A. British people enjoy public transport
B. it’s fast to travel from London to Paris
C. trains in Britain provide fine services for their users
D. trains are a good form of public transport for Londoners
【答案】ABDBD
【解析】 本文是一篇说明文,主要阐述了火车对伦敦人来说是公共交通重要的一部分。

33. D 细节理解题。通读全文可知,全文一共总结了火车的快速、安全和舒适三个方面。因此,正确答案是D。
34. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中 “They also provide food services and power plugs for personal computers or mobile phones”可知,火车上提供食物服务和供个人电脑或手机使用的电源插头。因此,正确答案是B。

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, prising, most of parking lots(停车场) in residential areas(居民区) remain idle during workdays. Now a new form of sharing has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities.
In Qingdao, a coastal(海岸的) city in Shangdong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.
Through a special app, users can either share or order a parking place. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit(限制) on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average(平均的) parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.
36.In the first paragraph, the writer points out that ________.
A．we should set up more parking spaces in big cities
B．prices of parking spaces are rising quickly in China
C．it’s difficult to find parking space in big cities.
D．many people want to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays
37.The underlined word idle probably means ________ in Chinese in this passage.
A．无所事事的 B．停顿的 C．闲置的 D．懒惰的
38.If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________.
A．love the city B．use a special app C．pay more D．share your personal information
39. How much should you pay if you use a shared parking space for 5 hours in Qingdao
A．15 yuan. B．20 yuan. C．25 yuan. D．30 yuan.
40.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
A．it’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays
B．Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai
C．shared parking will probably become more and more popular
D．shared parking is more expensive than traditional parking service
【答案】CCBBC

big cities of China.”可知，在大城市中，很难找到停车位，故选C。
37．C 词句猜测题。根据“Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the

停车是很花钱的。但在工作日的时候，居民区的停车场因人们都去上班了，所以停车场是闲置的，故选C。

第三节、阅读表达(共5小题，计10分) 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（2020年山东临沂）
“Stop! Stop！”
The police officer ran down the street as fast as he could. “Stop！” he said again. But it was no use. The car kept going. The officer said to himself, “They must be going ten miles an hour.”
There weren't many cars on the road in the early 1900s. Most people thought driving ten miles an hour was too fast for safety. And since police officers didn't have cars of their own, they could only run after speedsters(快速驾驶者).
The early cars were faster than the horse drawn buggies(马车) that most people still used. And they frightened (使惊恐) the horses. One car maker tried to keep the horses cool. He made the car with the horse's head. He hoped real horses would think it was a horse and buggy. They didn't. It frightened them just as much.
The car with the horse's head wasn't the only early car that would look strange today. Some looked like buggies without a horse. Others had three wheels (轮子). A few even had their steering wheels (方向盘) in the back seat.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1. What did the police officer ask the car to do
2. How many miles an hour did the police officer think the car travelled
3. Did people see lots of cars on the road in the 1900s
4. What did a car maker do in order to keep the horses cool
5. What does this passage mainly tell us
【答案】1. To stop.
2. Ten miles.
3. No, they didn't.
4. He made the car with the horse's head.
5. How cars changed.
【解析】这篇短文主要讲述了最早的骑车的样式，及他们的转变。
1.根据文中“Stop! Stop！” The police officer ran down the street as fast as he could. “Stop！” he said again. But it was no use. The car kept going可知，警察让车停下来。根据题意，故填To stop.
2.根据文中The officer said to himself, “They must be going ten miles an hour.” 可知，是10英里。
故填Ten miles.
3.根据文中There weren't many cars on the road in the early 1900s.可知，这里是做否定回答。故填No, they didn't.
4.根据文中One car maker tried to keep the horses cool. He made the car with the horse's head.可知，他用马的头做了这辆车。故填He made the car with the horse's head.
5.通读整篇短文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了汽车样式是怎样转变的。故填How cars changed。

【美文欣赏】
I’m Li Xiang，a student in Grade 8.My friends and I just arrived in Hong Kong by plane. Now we are going to Disneyland from the airport. There’re three ways. We can go there by train. It’s the fastest way and it’ll take us only fifteen minutes to get there. And it’s also the cheapest. You can see a lot of Disney characters on the train. It’s interesting.
The second choice is by bus. The seats on the bus are tidy and comfortable，but it is the slowest way to get there.
The last way to get there is by taxi. You can take a taxi at any time，so it’s very convenient. But it costs the most—HK$110.I think it’s not a good way for a student.
We decide to take a train there. Do you think I make a right choice？

三、阅读理解（共4篇每题2分，共40分）
A
Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages（优势）. You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable. Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self driven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self driven car may be able to stop this. However， some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.

Trains are a good form of public transport(公共交通). British people use trains a lot. This is especially for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests when they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks(安检) before they are used on the rail tracks.
What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs(电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, prising, most of parking lots(停车场) in residential areas(居民区) remain idle during workdays. Now a new form of sharing has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities.
In Qingdao, a coastal(海岸的) city in Shangdong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.
Through a special app, users can either share or order a parking place. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit(限制) on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average(平均的) parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.
36.In the first paragraph, the writer points out that ________.
A．we should set up more parking spaces in big cities
B．prices of parking spaces are rising quickly in China
C．it’s difficult to find parking space in big cities.
D．many people want to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays

A．love the city B．use a special app C．pay more D．share your personal information
39. How much should you pay if you use a shared parking space for 5 hours in Qingdao
A．15 yuan. B．20 yuan. C．25 yuan. D．30 yuan.
40.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
A．it’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays
B．Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai

第三节、阅读表达(共5小题，计10分) 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（2020年山东临沂）
“Stop! Stop！”
The police officer ran down the street as fast as he could. “Stop！” he said again. But it was no use. The car kept going. The officer said to himself, “They must be going ten miles an hour.”
There weren't many cars on the road in the early 1900s. Most people thought driving ten miles an hour was too fast for safety. And since police officers didn't have cars of their own, they could only run after speedsters(快速驾驶者).
The early cars were faster than the horse drawn buggies(马车) that most people still used. And they frightened (使惊恐) the horses. One car maker tried to keep the horses cool. He made the car with the horse's head. He hoped real horses would think it was a horse and buggy. They didn't. It frightened them just as much.
The car with the horse's head wasn't the only early car that would look strange today. Some looked like buggies without a horse. Others had three wheels (轮子). A few even had their steering wheels (方向盘) in the back seat.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1. What did the police officer ask the car to do
2. How many miles an hour did the police officer think the car travelled
3. Did people see lots of cars on the road in the 1900s
