Mom wanted only one thing for her birthday. “Can you find me another copy of this song ” she asked, and handed me a worn-out cassette tape. I knew exactly what was recorded on it: My Redeemer(救世主). I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up. After so many years, the cassette tape was too worn out to be used. I promised her I would find a replacement.
My Redeemer became Mom’s favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973. The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station.
We recorded it on a cassette tape so she could listen to it any time she wanted but none of us knew who the soloist(独唱者) was. These days, I thought the song would be easy to find out. I went home and searched the Internet. Several songs with that title popped up, but none of them was the one Mom loved. I got frustrated.
Mom’s birthday drew near and then one day, I was driving home, listening to our local radio station. A familiar tune came on. It was My Redeemer! As soon as I could, I phoned the station. I got a line on the soloist, who was called Alan Parks. I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina. Minutes later, I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom. He offered to ship two CDs out to me personally. I gave him my address.
“Red Lion, Pennsylvania ” he said. “Do you know the Logans ” “They are our neighbors!” “I’ve been friends with them for 25 years,” Alan said. “They’ll be at my concert at York Gospel Chapel on April 17th. Would you and your mom come too ” We sure would. Mom was excited to hear Alan sing My Redeemer to her, live in concert—on the evening of her 87th birthday.
24. Why was the song My Redeemer so important to the author’s mother
A. It could comfort her sad and painful mood.
B. It reminded her of the love from her husband.
C. It was given to her by a very important friend.
D. It was the only thing that the author’s brother left her.
25. What does the underlined part “got a line on” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Talked happily with. B. Thought a lot about.
C. Made request of. D. Got information about.
26. What can we learn about Alan Parks from this passage
A. He lived in Red Lion, Pennsylvania.
B. He is a kind and warm-hearted musician.
C. He offered to give the author two cassette tapes.
D. He would sing for the author’s mom on the radio station.
27. Which of the following is most surprising
A. Alan Parks and the author lived in the same neighborhood.
B. Alan Parks happened to get to know the author’s mother.
C. The author’s mother went to the concert on her birthday.
D. The author’s mother became good friends with Alan Parks.

Even as Google plans to test its fleet（车队）of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by 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 Google's self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's 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 said. "The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button." The prototype（雏形）are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.
In the long run, Urmson sees a future of saferroads—the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error—and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't 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 don't own. The company 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 operate 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, accelerators and brake pedals to allow "safety drivers" to take control if needed.
Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that "can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," Urmson said. "We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle," Urmson said.
28. The passage informs us that self-driving cars__________.
A. will probably decrease traffic jams B. have already passed necessary tests
C. have been purchased by some companies D. will be able to communicate with drivers
29. According to Chris Urmson, ______________.
A. software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
B. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
C. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
D. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
30. The underlined word "intersections" in the last paragraph probably means ______________.
A. accidents B. buildings C. crossings D. vehicles
31. What is the best title for this passage
A. Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors
B. Self-driving Car Meets New Challenges
C. Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global Popularity
D. Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets
D
It's rare that you see the words "shyness" and "leader" in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（内在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in Then what happened Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent. Don't believe me Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I stay with problems longer." Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.
32. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ___________.
A. shy people are sensitive to rewards B. shy people care more about content
C. outgoing people are more careful about chances D. outgoing people consider what to learn while listening
33. The example of Johnny shows ____________.
A. shy people are likely to be modest B. hardworking students speak little in public
C. some students keep silent on purpose at school D. shy people may have an advantage in discussion
34. We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that ____________.
A. success results from devotion B. shyness contributes to popularity
C. outside reward leads to insistence D. uncertainty counts more than certainty
35. The author supports his ideas mainly by ____________.
A. giving definitions and presenting research results
B. explaining problems and providing solutions
C. quoting authorities and making evaluations
D. making contrasts and giving examples

Skin-to-skin Effort Aims to Cut Newborn Deaths
A social media campaign has been launched in China to cut down the number of newborns babies who die in the first 24 hours of life. The campaign, called First Embrace(拥抱)，promotes skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth, a practice proven to keep the baby warm and help it to fight infections.
There are 16 million babies born in China each year, and approximately 150,000 of them die before they reach one month of age. 36 Zhang Shuyi, a researcher at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing, said there was strong evidence for the First Embrace approach.
“When babies are cold, they are more likely to catch infections or have difficulty breathing,” she said,” 37 It provides direct protection against infection, promotes bonding between the parent and child and supports breast-feeding.” Health workers who shifted from the normal practice of separation to skin-to-skin contact have observed that babies are more calm and comfortable.
The WHO has developed the First Embrace approach to help reduce newborn deaths across the Western Pacific region, including China. Bernhard Schwartlander, the WHO Representative in China, said, “As many as two-thirds of newborn deaths could be prevented using simple, low-cost methods, including the First Embrace.”
38 The WHO will be posting information about the campaign, and hosting online question-and-answer sessions with Chinese and international experts. The public can participate by following the WHO on Weibo and joining the conversation. Schwartlander said, “We are targeting new parents, pregnant women and couples thinking about having a baby. 39 ”
Just last month, a new research shows that child and mother health outcomes in Shanghai are equal to those in the USA and Canada. 40 Hopefully, the messages conveyed by the new campaign could help to bridge that gap.
A. The campaign has now been launched via Weibo.
B. Of that number, half die in the first 24 hours of life.
C. Skin-to-skin contact keeps a baby warm by transferring heat.
D. Those parents who lost their newborn babies can get supports on the platform.
E. In other parts of China, however, the statistics are like those of poor countries.
F. It indicates that related methods for health care and birth quality should be improved.
G. We also aim to involve health professionals in the importance of early essential newborn care.

Dear schoolmates,
Water is the most valuable resource on the earth. It is the necessity of our life and we must drink it everyday. Water is the source of the life. We can't live without water.
However, with the development of society and economy, many cities are short of water. Factories and vehicles produce poisonous gases or wastes, which cause serious pollution to rivers and lakes. Excessive deforestation by humans leads to soil erosion. What’s worse, many people are wasting water seriously.
In order to protect water, let’s do something to fight against all kinds of pollution and waste of water.
