Passage 3
It was fantastic to go to the Science Museum to see an exhibition about driverless vehicles (交通工具). Before my visit to the museum, I didn’t know much about vehicles that drive themselves using computer controls.
Driverless cars might seem like something from 21 , but they’ve been around longer than we think. I learned that the first of them appeared years ago. It was a car called the Citroen DS19, which appeared back in 1960. It drove itself by 22 a network of cables (电缆) buried underground. Driverless vehicles have developed a lot since then. Newer ones are used for different purposes, like helping farmers by picking crops, or helping scientists by exploring under the ice.
The exhibition was organized into three different areas. Each one 23 a different subject. The first was called “Land.” I was able to look at how driverless vehicles were already being used on land, and possible developments that would happen in the future.
The issue of 24 is a big one. How can a driverless car make the right choices that a human makes in an emergency situation Scientists are working on ways to solve this problem. I understood more about how difficult it was when I was playing with the interactive displays (交互式显示屏). Doing this let me see the world through the “eyes” of a driverless car. It’s very 25 to program a computer to make the decisions a human driver usually makes.
In the zone called “Water,” driverless vehicles are being used to make maps of the sea floor and to understand how climate change is affecting the oceans. And in the final area, “ 26 ,” I learned about the flying drones (无人机) that are being developed to deliver products, but not just for shoppers. They’re also important for things like medical emergencies.
The whole exhibition was incredibly interesting and made for a great day out

Passage 5
Last summer, my grandma took our large family on a vacation to Tanzania for a few weeks. While we did spend a large amount of time observing wildlife in the Serengeti National Park, the most memorable part of the trip for me was 37 about the local culture. I was moved by how 38 and hospitable (好客的) everybody there was.
Whenever we rode somewhere in the “safari trucks”, the local children would, at the sight of the trucks, rush to the side of the road to 39 and shout “hello”. I could tell by their huge smiles that they were really 40 at the sight of us, not just doing what they’d been told to do in front of tourists. We were happy to 41 a wave or a high five, too. At one point when our guide was showing us around a local village, a woman came over and started talking to us in the local language, which our guide translated for us. The woman wanted to show us the baby rabbits that she was raising. She welcomed us into her house. I was very 42 by this. I would never think of inviting a 43 off the street into my house back in the United States.
After we saw the super-cute newborn rabbits, we continued through the 44 . At the next house, there was a family cooking fish over a fire for dinner. Our guide asked if he could buy some. While he ate his fish, the family invited us into their yard. Everybody’s attitude was so 45 from that of people back home. Things that seemed so unusual to me, like letting strangers into one’s house, are completely normal to these people.
When the trip ended and we got back to the United States, I almost felt a 46 connection to the people I met in Tanzania than to the people at home. The time that I spent in Tanzania was the time in my life when I felt the most unforgettable.

So don't you think it's more relaxing to choose books as your “teachers”

Passage 3
It was fantastic to go to the Science Museum to see an exhibition about driverless vehicles (交通工具). Before my visit to the museum, I didn’t know much about vehicles that drive themselves using computer controls.
Driverless cars might seem like something from 21 , but they’ve been around longer than we think. I learned that the first of them appeared years ago. It was a car called the Citroen DS19, which appeared back in 1960. It drove itself by 22 a network of cables (电缆) buried underground. Driverless vehicles have developed a lot since then. Newer ones are used for different purposes, like helping farmers by picking crops, or helping scientists by exploring under the ice.
The exhibition was organized into three different areas. Each one 23 a different subject. The first was called “Land.” I was able to look at how driverless vehicles were already being used on land, and possible developments that would happen in the future.
The issue of 24 is a big one. How can a driverless car make the right choices that a human makes in an emergency situation Scientists are working on ways to solve this problem. I understood more about how difficult it was when I was playing with the interactive displays (交互式显示屏). Doing this let me see the world through the “eyes” of a driverless car. It’s very 25 to program a computer to make the decisions a human driver usually makes.
In the zone called “Water,” driverless vehicles are being used to make maps of the sea floor and to understand how climate change is affecting the oceans. And in the final area, “ 26 ,” I learned about the flying drones (无人机) that are being developed to deliver products, but not just for shoppers. They’re also important for things like medical emergencies.
The whole exhibition was incredibly interesting and made for a great day out

Passage 5
Last summer, my grandma took our large family on a vacation to Tanzania for a few weeks. While we did spend a large amount of time observing wildlife in the Serengeti National Park, the most memorable part of the trip for me was 37 about the local culture. I was moved by how 38 and hospitable (好客的) everybody there was.
Whenever we rode somewhere in the “safari trucks”, the local children would, at the sight of the trucks, rush to the side of the road to 39 and shout “hello”. I could tell by their huge smiles that they were really 40 at the sight of us, not just doing what they’d been told to do in front of tourists. We were happy to 41 a wave or a high five, too. At one point when our guide was showing us around a local village, a woman came over and started talking to us in the local language, which our guide translated for us. The woman wanted to show us the baby rabbits that she was raising. She welcomed us into her house. I was very 42 by this. I would never think of inviting a 43 off the street into my house back in the United States.
After we saw the super-cute newborn rabbits, we continued through the 44 . At the next house, there was a family cooking fish over a fire for dinner. Our guide asked if he could buy some. While he ate his fish, the family invited us into their yard. Everybody’s attitude was so 45 from that of people back home. Things that seemed so unusual to me, like letting strangers into one’s house, are completely normal to these people.
When the trip ended and we got back to the United States, I almost felt a 46 connection to the people I met in Tanzania than to the people at home. The time that I spent in Tanzania was the time in my life when I felt the most unforgettable.

Passage 7
Some people think the greatest invention in the world is electricity, while others believe computers are the most 57 in modern society. But I think the invention of books is the greatest.
A famous person has ever said, “Books are the best 58 .” Exactly! That’s 59 I would like to say first. In the long history of humans, books have played an important part in spreading knowledge, and even today, the situation is 60 the same. Each year, millions of books are published (出版) in the world. Knowledge 61 our lives. People can make a difference by reading books. If a knowledgeable person wants to express some new ideas, he or she will probably choose to write a book.
Books provide us with 62 ideas. And we make our own decisions to choose any one that fits 63 . Or you may choose none of them, just like me, not following books' 64 .
Books are thought of as teachers without 65 . But how are books different from our real teachers I think the fact is that if a real teacher advises me to choose electricity or the computer as my topic today, you can imagine how much courage I will need to 66 . So don't you think it's more relaxing to choose books as your “teachers”

73 all her classmates wanted to know what happened to her, she didn’t want to tell them about her hair clip.
When she went back home, her mother asked her, “Did you know you 74 your hair clip at home I 75 it by the door this morning.”
She was surprised to 76 that. She understood that she didn’t wear the hair clip to school.
