About three hours after Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas as a Category ( 级 别 ) 4 storm, it was downgraded to a Category 3 storm after winds decreased to 125 mph from maximum winds of 130 mph.
Harvey also made a second landfall on the northeastern shore of Copano Bay around the time it was downgraded.
The storm is the strongest to hit the state in decades, with serious flooding expected. The last Category 4 storm to hit the U.S. was Charley in 2004 in Florida, while the last Category 4 storm to hit Texas was Carla in 1961.
Residents staying in the area madly stocked up on(备足) food, water and gas, while others heading out of the storm's path boarded up windows and doors of their homes and businesses.
Airlines canceled flights, schools were closed while concerts and other planned events in Houston and coastal cities were postponed.
The hurricane's effects are expected to last for days, with heavy rainfall through next week estimated to be as high as 40 inches in some areas.
The National Weather Service warned Harvey could bring a potentially destroying storm surges( 风 暴 潮 ), heavy rainfall and wind hazards( 危 害 ) to the Lone Star State's coast. A tornado watch is in effect for areas of southeastern Texas and southwest Louisiana.
Life-threatening storm surge waters could reach 9 to 13 feet above ground level. Destroying flooding is expected across parts of the area. And rainfall will be heavy, with an estimated 15 to 30 inches of rain falling in many areas and as high as 40 inches in some from today through Wednesday, the National Weather Service said.
(1)What category was Hurricane Harvey when it hit the northeastern shore of Copano Bay
A.4. B.3. C.2. D.1.
(2)How many times have Category 4 storms struck Texas since 1961
A.4 times. B.3 times. C.Twice. D.Once.
(3)What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain how to identify a hurricane category in the U.S.
B.To name the kinds of disasters Hurricane Harvey will cause.
C.To tell the history about the hurricanes that the U.S. has experienced.
D.To warn its readers the bad weather to be brought and the disasters to be caused by Hurricane Harvey.

B
Asking for salary history provides an easy way to sort applicants into an employer's desired price range and helps the employer calculate the lowest offer that will still attract a candidate. But an increasing number of U.S. states and cities agree there ought to be a law against it. Massachusetts, Philadelphia, New York City and Puerto Rico have banned salary history questions on applications and in interviews.
Why Because when it comes to a candidate's suitability for a job, salary history is a subjective (主观的) and often misleading indicator — and it may most affect "the people who have already been illegally treated," says Katie Donovan, a salary negotiation coach and one of the authors of the Massachusetts law.
Candidates who start their careers underpaid because of the gender (性别) or race wage gap, a bad economy or a cheap boss finds that this lowball (虚报低价) figure continues to weigh them down throughout their career. At the same time, senior victims of layoffs have difficulty being hired because employers assume they're not interested in senior victims.
In an interview, you can avoid talking about salary history questions by turning the discussion to what you're looking to make.
Donovan recommends a method similar to what you're already doing: Enter $0.00, or some other number that is clearly intended not to cheat, but to oppose.
Of course, there's always a risk doing so because it will cost you opportunities. But Ronda Wakefield, owner of NW MT HR Solutions, says that when she receives an application with an obviously false salary history, she'll still follow up if the candidate interests her. "I personally don't want to miss out on a great candidate because they didn't want to answer the question directly," she says.
(1)Why are many U.S. states and cities against asking for applicants' salary history
A.Because their salary history is not an objective or correct indicator.
B.Because employees who have their careers underpaid have difficulty being hired.
C.Because candidates start their careers underpaid because of the gender or race wage gap.
D.Because salary history may most affect "the people who have already been illegally treated".
(2)What does the underlined word "layoffs" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.The people dismissed. B. The state of dismissal.
C.The action of dismissal. D.The bosses dismissing others.
(3)Why does Donovan suggest applicants write down $0.00 in the blank for their salary history
A.To cheat the boss. B.To fight against the question.
C.To annoy the boss. D.To answer the question indirectly
(4)Who likes to know about applicants' salary history most according to the passage
A.Any employer. B.Donovan.
C.Wakefield. D.A mean employer.
13.(2017·浙江会考)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
C
The main aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver, Hodgson points out, "For the sake of safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved."
It's a theme that Elon Musk, head of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long supported. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla's 2017 goal was "to do a demonstration ( 示 范 ) drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York...and have the car park itself."
However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome — the software needs further confirmation and the appropriate regulatory (监管的) approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn't ready yet.
The UK government appears determined to encourage the development of autonomous vehicles. It's supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account issues such as insurance liability when a human isn't in control of a vehicle.
The insurance industry is similarly keen to promote increasing autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out: "More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors." This costs motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
(1)In Hodgson's opinion, what is the problem with the driverless cars
A.Whether it is true that the faster you can remove humans, the better.
B.Who can explain why there are still a few accidents by driverless cars.
C.How to deal with the new causes of accidents resulting from driverless cars.
D.Whether to balance the number injured or killed with the people whose lives may be saved.
(2)Why is the insurance industry in favor of driverless cars
A.Because they can make their insurers save money in claim.
B.Because it is drivers' errors that lead to over 90% road accidents.
C.Because human errors cost motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
D.Because motor insurers believe driverless cars will never cause any road accidents.
(3)Which is the best title of the passage
A.The advantages of driverless cars.
B.The disadvantages of driverless cars.
C.Driverless cars in future.
D.The development of driverless cars.

How to improve your happiness
Recent research has shown that people who value their time over the pursuit of wealth are happier. So how can you best make, save and use your time — and ensure you keep a smile on your face

Snakes are just about the most frightening thing in the world, according to Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr. The only thing (bad) than a snake you can see is a snake you can't see, however. And thanks the photos Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers offer, you can experience the latter horror from the comfort of almost anywhere else besides the place that snake is.
The snake-like animals' removal(移动) and relocation (serve) from Queensland, Australia posted a challenge to its 51,000 some-odd fans (find) the snake in the photo.
Any luck The photo shows that this particular backyard seems like regular "I Spy" book for snakes, so it's understandable if they are still looking hard. The snake is actually in the top right corner, (hide) in the crook(藤条) between the two fences.
Fear of snakes (call) "Ophidiophobia"(蛇恐怖症) or "being a rational person". People are afraid of a lot of odd things, though.
This fun little puzzle proves to just be further evidence that Australia is a (terrible) dangerous place where everything (try) to eat you. We'll just stick to trying to find turtles in flowers, thank you very much.

18.(2017·浙江会考)阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Want to know how to survive a plane crash What about a terrorist attack To put your mind at ease in nearly any situation, you can almost guarantee your survival if you never leave the house without 3 necessary items, i.e. a lighter(打火机), a lifestraw(救命吸管) and a raincoat.
Right off the place full of danger, your first instinct(本能) might be to search for help the minute you realize you're in trouble. But survival experts insist you should stay where you are until help finds you, instead; doing so will make it easier for the search and rescue teams to locate your location.
What should you do until then, you ask Prepare to hunker down(盘腿坐下) for the long run. That's where your three pieces of survival necessities come into play, Stewart says.
For one, you should have something to start a fire on you at all times. Fire-starting tools are inexpensive to purchase, and you can easily carry them around in a backpack or pant pocket. But even without a fancy item, all you really need is something to light the first flame.
"You can use cotton balls covered in petroleum jelly(凡士林油) as a fire starter," Stewart told USA TODAY. "They are water resistant and will start a fire with just a spark."
Second, you'll need something to make your drinking water fit to drink, such as a canteen(饭盒) that can boil water. Stewart recommends buying a $20 lifestraw, which "can be struck into the muddiest pool of water you can find and you suck the water out like a straw." Any doubt It could still save your life, Stewart says.
"I always say that your life depends on your water source," he said. …
You can keep all three items with you when you are away from your home. …

(1)细节理解。根据第一段最后一句. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved."可知霍奇森关心的问题是如何平衡自动驾驶造成的死伤的数量与有可能被救的人之间的关系。故选D。
(2)推理判断。根据最后一段中提到的More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors.可知90%的公路交通事故都是由人的错误造成的,这使得保险公司每天要索赔20英镑。所以保险公司支持无人驾驶是为了让他们在索赔中省钱,故选A。
(3)主旨大意。本文主要谈论无人驾驶技术的开发,也就是无人驾驶汽车的未来前景,故选C。
【点评】本文属于说明文,阅读时在文章首段确定文章的中心句,然后快速浏览文章内容。阅读问题,找到问题中的关键词。在文章中定位问题中的关键词,答案就在关键词附近。
14.【答案】C;G;F;A;B
【知识点】说明文;七选五
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了几个提高幸福感的方式。
(1)逻辑推理,本段标题是“对不可避免的任务设定时间”,所以目的是为了更快把不喜欢的工作如cleaning和washing做完,故选C。
(2)关键词联系。根据前文提到的With three people in front of you at the checkout结账时前面有三个人,对应于G选项中的customer(顾客),故选G。
(3)反义词对比。本段标题中的one new activity at a time(一次一个新的活动),与F中的too many things形成对比,故选F。
(4)原词再现。根据本段前文中的be firm by declining……要坚决的谢绝,对应A项中的friendly和firm,故选A.
(5)前后呼应。本段前文中的说要“列出你想要做的让你感到快乐的事情,把每天可做的事情写在卡片上”,与“务必从简单的任务开始”在逻辑上是呼应的,故选B。
【点评】本题重在考查上下文之间的逻辑关系,答题时首先浏览文章主旨,并理解各个选项所表达的含义。然后再读短文,选出最能使上下文语义通顺的选项,注意段落大意,空格前后的关键词等信息,完成后要通读一篇,看语义是否通顺,是否符合逻辑,必要的话做适当修改。

【知识点】人物故事类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇老兵的回忆录,讲述了作者在战场上受伤被救的故事。
⑴句意:在战场上,我们慢慢穿过潮湿的草地,眼睛搜索着敌人。突然,机关枪打破了宁静。finally最后;luckily幸运地;suddenly突然;unluckily不幸地。根据句意可知选C。
⑵quiet安静的;stillness静止;ice冰;dark night黑夜。枪声突然响起,当然打破了宁静,故选A。
⑶句意:我们倒在地上,借助几英尺前的低矮石墙躲避射击。keep保持;shelter庇护;prevent防止;save救。根据句意,故选D。
⑷句意:我的话务员呼叫着指挥官报告(情况),同时我命令两位战士帮我锁定并敲掉机关枪。say说;inform通知;announce宣布;通知;report报告。根据逻辑可知战场发现敌情要向上级报告,故选D。
⑸enemy敌人;danger危险;machine gun机枪;game游戏。此处既要作knock out的宾语,又要作locate的宾语,应该是上文中提到的机枪,故选C。
⑹句意:当我单膝跪地对我的伙伴讲的时候,我听到爆炸声——然后我就躺在那里了。knee膝盖;back后背;head头;foot脚。根据逻辑推理可知人被炸伤了当然应该是躺在地上,故选B。
⑺句意:“杰克!杰克!你已经被打中了。”话务员喊道。hit撞;击中;hurt受伤;destroy毁掉;kill杀死。由下文可知作者被击中,故选A。
⑻句意:两个救护员把握捆在担架上。在救护站,一个医生把绷带绑住我在流血的腿。dirty脏的;weak弱的;dusty布满灰尘的;bloody流血的。根据上下文可知选D。
⑼句意:过了一会儿传来一个护士的喊声,“醒醒,杰克!你得上飞机——你要飞到英格兰的一家医院!”truck卡车;ship轮船;stretcher担架;plane飞机。由下文的fly可知选D。
⑽句意:我变得焦躁不安。sad伤心;angry生气的;restless焦躁不安的;disappointed失望的。根据下文不能落下到新婚妻子的照片,所以听说要回England,作者变得焦急,故选C。
⑾句意:我所有的东西都在一大堆装备里面。mountainous巨大的;像山一样的;neat整洁的;tidy整齐的;small小的。根据语境可知选A。
⑿句意:战后除了我一直带在身上的新婚妻子艾伦的照片,我可以失去一切。lose失去;replace代替;see看见;throw扔。根据句意可知作者的意思是艾伦的照片是他的一切,不能丢掉,故选A。
⒀sometimes有时候;occasionally偶尔;always总是;一直;never从不。根据逻辑推断可知是一直带在身上,故选C。
⒁句意:“我要拿到我妻子的照片才走。”find找到;发现;look for寻找;photograph照片;get得到。作者已经受伤,所以自己不能去找,故AB不合句意,根据句意可知选D。
⒂句意:“在你从我身上取走的防毒面具罩上。”take away from从……拿走,其他几个短语均不与away搭配,故选A。
⒃句意:我知道护士会让我去的,但是她说“好吧,我看看能不能找到。”stop阻止;拦下;make让;使;help帮助;take带走。根据空格后的me go可知此处考查make sb do结构,故选B。
⒄句意:接着(她)跑出去在那一堆东西里仔细寻找。run跑;walk走;step迈步;come来。根据上下文可知此时作者已经受伤,所以非常紧急,故选A
⒅句意:最后她一路跑着,上气不接下气地喊着,“我拿到了。”calmly冷静地;breathlessly气喘吁吁地;quietly安静地;slowly慢慢地。根据逻辑可知选B。
⒆句意:她是怎么找到的我永远不知道,但是她做到了。remember记得;forget忘记;know知道;recall回忆。故选C。
⒇句意:那张照片伴我度过了艰难的岁月。现在,我69岁了,她仍然摆在我的床头柜上。many许多;pleasant令人愉快的;busy忙的;tough困难的;坚强的。根据comfort(安慰)可知选D。
【点评】考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力,答题时首先要读懂全文,弄清文章要表达的思想,注意文中前后段落之间的关系。答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系。对于一 时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯。
16.【答案】worse;to;where;service;to find;a;hiding;is called;terribly;is trying
【知识点】语法填空;短文填词
【解析】【分析】
⑴句意:然而,比你看得见的蛇更糟糕的唯一的东西是你看不见的蛇。由than可知用比较级,故填worse。
⑵句意:多亏了阳光海岸捕蛇者们提供的照片。短语:thanks to由于;幸亏。故填to。
⑶句意:除了那条蛇所在的地方外,你可以体验到来自任何地方的后者带来的恐惧。此处是定语从句,先行词是the place,指地点,故填where。
⑷本句的谓语是posted,from Queensland, Australia是介词短语,修饰前面的名词,所以应将serve变为名词,故填service。
⑸句意:澳大利亚昆士兰的蛇形动物迁移和安置服务为51000名猎奇爱好者设了这样一个挑战来找到照片里的蛇。此处表示目的,故填不定式to find。
⑹句意:这个特别的后院好像一本常见的“我是间谍”书籍。由中心词book可知此处需要不定冠词a。
⑺句意:那条蛇实际上在右上角,藏在两个栅栏之间的藤条中。句子的谓语是is,此处hide是非谓语动词,与snake构成逻辑上的主动关系,故填hiding。
⑻句意:对蛇的恐惧被称为“蛇恐怖症”,此处是句子的谓语,表示被动含义,故填被动语态is called。
⑼句意:澳大利亚是一个极度危险的地方。修饰形容词dangerous,故填副词terribly。
⑽句意:在那里一切东西都试图要吃你。此处是定语从句的谓语,表示现阶段正在发生,故填is trying。
【点评】本题考查在语境中根据语法规则对单词进行正确使用。需要考虑词性变化,固定搭配,动词的各种形式等语法知识。答题时注意上下文所提供的信息。平时要夯实自身的基本功,加强词汇记忆以及学会灵活词性转换。

18.【答案】"I always say that your life depends on your water source," he said. "If you are in a bad situation and have to drink water not fit to drink, you take the risk of drinking wild poisonous water, which can quickly kill you." In this case, a lifestraw will come into play. Finally, Stewart recommends having a raincoat, or anything that can be used to protect you against the weather. Even food should take a back seat to these three necessary items, he says. "Everyone gets really worried about food, but the human body is designed to last a long time without food. When it comes to survival necessary items, food's on the bottom of the list," he said.
You can keep all three items with you when you are away from your home. You can keep them in a backpack, if you're hiking or camping, or even a car if you're traveling on the road. But in a word, the best thing you can do is to ensure your own survival happens before you even leave.

A
About three hours after Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas as a Category ( 级 别 ) 4 storm, it was downgraded to a Category 3 storm after winds decreased to 125 mph from maximum winds of 130 mph.
Harvey also made a second landfall on the northeastern shore of Copano Bay around the time it was downgraded.
The storm is the strongest to hit the state in decades, with serious flooding expected. The last Category 4 storm to hit the U.S. was Charley in 2004 in Florida, while the last Category 4 storm to hit Texas was Carla in 1961.
Residents staying in the area madly stocked up on(备足) food, water and gas, while others heading out of the storm's path boarded up windows and doors of their homes and businesses.
Airlines canceled flights, schools were closed while concerts and other planned events in Houston and coastal cities were postponed.
The hurricane's effects are expected to last for days, with heavy rainfall through next week estimated to be as high as 40 inches in some areas.
The National Weather Service warned Harvey could bring a potentially destroying storm surges( 风 暴 潮 ), heavy rainfall and wind hazards( 危 害 ) to the Lone Star State's coast. A tornado watch is in effect for areas of southeastern Texas and southwest Louisiana.
Life-threatening storm surge waters could reach 9 to 13 feet above ground level. Destroying flooding is expected across parts of the area. And rainfall will be heavy, with an estimated 15 to 30 inches of rain falling in many areas and as high as 40 inches in some from today through Wednesday, the National Weather Service said.
(1)What category was Hurricane Harvey when it hit the northeastern shore of Copano Bay
A.4. B.3. C.2. D.1.
(2)How many times have Category 4 storms struck Texas since 1961
A.4 times. B.3 times. C.Twice. D.Once.
(3)What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain how to identify a hurricane category in the U.S.
B.To name the kinds of disasters Hurricane Harvey will cause.
C.To tell the history about the hurricanes that the U.S. has experienced.
D.To warn its readers the bad weather to be brought and the disasters to be caused by Hurricane Harvey.
【答案】(1)B
(2)C
(3)D
【知识点】主旨大意;细节理解题;新闻报道类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道,介绍飓风哈维的情况以及造成的损坏。
(1)细节理解。根据第一段提到的 it was downgraded to a Category 3 storm可知飓风降到了3级,第二段on the northeastern shore of Copano Bay around the time it was downgraded可知当哈维到达科帕诺湾时是在降级的时候,故答案为B。
(2)细节理解。根据第三段最后the last Category 4 storm to hit Texas was Carla in 1961.可知1961年的4级飓风和这一次的一共2次,故选C。
(3)主旨大意。根据新闻报道的特点可知在第一段点明文章中心,所以本文主要讲述飓风哈维和它带来的危害,为了提醒人们对它带来的灾害性天气做好准备。故选D。
【点评】这是一篇新闻报道,文章的第一句话就是对整篇文章的高度概括,阅读时要善于捕捉新闻细节,根据问题中的关键词找到相关语句并能分析理解长难句,从而得到需要的答案。
12.(2017·浙江会考)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
B
Asking for salary history provides an easy way to sort applicants into an employer's desired price range and helps the employer calculate the lowest offer that will still attract a candidate. But an increasing number of U.S. states and cities agree there ought to be a law against it. Massachusetts, Philadelphia, New York City and Puerto Rico have banned salary history questions on applications and in interviews.
Why Because when it comes to a candidate's suitability for a job, salary history is a subjective (主观的) and often misleading indicator — and it may most affect "the people who have already been illegally treated," says Katie Donovan, a salary negotiation coach and one of the authors of the Massachusetts law.
Candidates who start their careers underpaid because of the gender (性别) or race wage gap, a bad economy or a cheap boss finds that this lowball (虚报低价) figure continues to weigh them down throughout their career. At the same time, senior victims of layoffs have difficulty being hired because employers assume they're not interested in senior victims.
In an interview, you can avoid talking about salary history questions by turning the discussion to what you're looking to make.
Donovan recommends a method similar to what you're already doing: Enter $0.00, or some other number that is clearly intended not to cheat, but to oppose.
Of course, there's always a risk doing so because it will cost you opportunities. But Ronda Wakefield, owner of NW MT HR Solutions, says that when she receives an application with an obviously false salary history, she'll still follow up if the candidate interests her. "I personally don't want to miss out on a great candidate because they didn't want to answer the question directly," she says.
(1)Why are many U.S. states and cities against asking for applicants' salary history
A.Because their salary history is not an objective or correct indicator.
B.Because employees who have their careers underpaid have difficulty being hired.
C.Because candidates start their careers underpaid because of the gender or race wage gap.
D.Because salary history may most affect "the people who have already been illegally treated".
(2)What does the underlined word "layoffs" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.The people dismissed. B. The state of dismissal.
C.The action of dismissal. D.The bosses dismissing others.
(3)Why does Donovan suggest applicants write down $0.00 in the blank for their salary history
A.To cheat the boss. B.To fight against the question.
C.To annoy the boss. D.To answer the question indirectly
(4)Who likes to know about applicants' salary history most according to the passage
A.Any employer. B.Donovan.
C.Wakefield. D.A mean employer.
【答案】(1)A
(2)C
(3)B
(4)D
【知识点】推理判断题;词义猜测题;细节理解题;社会现象类;议论文
【解析】【分析】本文谈论求职时雇主要求提供应聘者的薪水历史的现象。这种做法因其主观因素太多而在美国的一些州已经遭到禁止,但是仍然有一些想给雇员最低工资的雇主想通过这个方式来了解求职者的过去,作者在文章中介绍了一些应对的办法。
(1)细节理解。根据第二段Because when it comes to a candidate's suitability for a job, salary history is a subjective (主观的) and often misleading indicator可知当涉及到对工作是否胜任的时候,薪水的历史过于主观而且也会是一种误导。故选A。
(2)词义猜测。A.被解雇的人;B.解雇的状态;C.解雇的行为;D.解雇别人的老板。根据句意:同时,被解雇的年老的人被雇佣就很困难,因为雇主认为他们对老年雇员没兴趣。故选C。
(3)推理判断。A.欺骗老板;B.反对这个问题;C.惹老板生气;D间接回答问题。根据倒数第二段Enter $0.00, or some other number that is clearly intended not to cheat, but to oppose可知输入0或者其他数字明显的意图不是欺骗,而是反对,故选B。
(4)细节理解。根据第一段第一句话中的helps the employer calculate the lowest offer that will still attract a candidate可知雇主想知道求职者薪水历史是为了帮助他计算能提供给应聘者最低的工资是多少。故选D,吝啬的老板。
【点评】本文属于议论文,阅读时首先要弄清楚作者要证明什么观点,然后用什么样的论据进行怎样的分析,最后得出了什么样的结论,理清了线索,理解文章就不是问题。看题时注意确定关键词,然后在文章中定位,找到与选项一致的内容,就可以轻松的确定答案。
13.(2017·浙江会考)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
C
The main aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver, Hodgson points out, "For the sake of safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved."
It's a theme that Elon Musk, head of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long supported. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla's 2017 goal was "to do a demonstration ( 示 范 ) drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York...and have the car park itself."
However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome — the software needs further confirmation and the appropriate regulatory (监管的) approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn't ready yet.
The UK government appears determined to encourage the development of autonomous vehicles. It's supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account issues such as insurance liability when a human isn't in control of a vehicle.
The insurance industry is similarly keen to promote increasing autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out: "More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors." This costs motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
(1)In Hodgson's opinion, what is the problem with the driverless cars
A.Whether it is true that the faster you can remove humans, the better.
B.Who can explain why there are still a few accidents by driverless cars.
C.How to deal with the new causes of accidents resulting from driverless cars.
D.Whether to balance the number injured or killed with the people whose lives may be saved.
(2)Why is the insurance industry in favor of driverless cars
A.Because they can make their insurers save money in claim.
B.Because it is drivers' errors that lead to over 90% road accidents.
C.Because human errors cost motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
D.Because motor insurers believe driverless cars will never cause any road accidents.
(3)Which is the best title of the passage
A.The advantages of driverless cars.
B.The disadvantages of driverless cars.
C.Driverless cars in future.
D.The development of driverless cars.
【答案】(1)D
(2)A
(3)C
【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;科普环保类;说明文;标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文谈论无人驾驶技术的开发和政府、企业及保险业对无人驾驶技术研发的支持。
(1)细节理解。根据第一段最后一句. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved."可知霍奇森关心的问题是如何平衡自动驾驶造成的死伤的数量与有可能被救的人之间的关系。故选D。
(2)推理判断。根据最后一段中提到的More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors.可知90%的公路交通事故都是由人的错误造成的,这使得保险公司每天要索赔20英镑。所以保险公司支持无人驾驶是为了让他们在索赔中省钱,故选A。
(3)主旨大意。本文主要谈论无人驾驶技术的开发,也就是无人驾驶汽车的未来前景,故选C。
【点评】本文属于说明文,阅读时在文章首段确定文章的中心句,然后快速浏览文章内容。阅读问题,找到问题中的关键词。在文章中定位问题中的关键词,答案就在关键词附近。

How to improve your happiness
Recent research has shown that people who value their time over the pursuit of wealth are happier. So how can you best make, save and use your time — and ensure you keep a smile on your face
● Pay someone to do the housework you hate
Why waste precious hours on housework or gardening if you can get someone else to do it
● Set time limits on tasks you can't avoid
Give yourself 20 minutes for necessary cleaning or 10 to hang out the washing.
● Enjoy standing in that queue
With three people in front of you at the checkout, think about how busy you usually are and see the wait as a gift, not a bore(烦人的事情).
● Take on one new activity at a time
At work and at home, be careful about the duties you take on. If you already feel stressed at work, don't do more at home.
● Learn to say no
Be firm by declining a new project, or telling someone you can't talk right now or that you can only talk for a couple of minutes.
● Make lists your friend
Start a wish list of the things you'd like to do and do more of the items that simply make you feel happy. Keep your daily to-do list manageable by putting it on an index card.
A. Be friendly but firm.
B. Make sure you start with an easy task.
C. This will get boring jobs out of the way faster.
D. Intending to do several things at once can be tiring.
E. Think about things that interest you, or wait patiently.
F. Trying to master too many new things at once can be unpleasing.
G. Recall things you're grateful for, talk to another customer or read a magazine.
【答案】C;G;F;A;B
【知识点】说明文;七选五
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了几个提高幸福感的方式。
(1)逻辑推理,本段标题是“对不可避免的任务设定时间”,所以目的是为了更快把不喜欢的工作如cleaning和washing做完,故选C。
(2)关键词联系。根据前文提到的With three people in front of you at the checkout结账时前面有三个人,对应于G选项中的customer(顾客),故选G。
(3)反义词对比。本段标题中的one new activity at a time(一次一个新的活动),与F中的too many things形成对比,故选F。
(4)原词再现。根据本段前文中的be firm by declining……要坚决的谢绝,对应A项中的friendly和firm,故选A.
(5)前后呼应。本段前文中的说要“列出你想要做的让你感到快乐的事情,把每天可做的事情写在卡片上”,与“务必从简单的任务开始”在逻辑上是呼应的,故选B。
【点评】本题重在考查上下文之间的逻辑关系,答题时首先浏览文章主旨,并理解各个选项所表达的含义。然后再读短文,选出最能使上下文语义通顺的选项,注意段落大意,空格前后的关键词等信息,完成后要通读一篇,看语义是否通顺,是否符合逻辑,必要的话做适当修改。

【知识点】人物故事类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇老兵的回忆录,讲述了作者在战场上受伤被救的故事。
⑴句意:在战场上,我们慢慢穿过潮湿的草地,眼睛搜索着敌人。突然,机关枪打破了宁静。finally最后;luckily幸运地;suddenly突然;unluckily不幸地。根据句意可知选C。
⑵quiet安静的;stillness静止;ice冰;dark night黑夜。枪声突然响起,当然打破了宁静,故选A。
⑶句意:我们倒在地上,借助几英尺前的低矮石墙躲避射击。keep保持;shelter庇护;prevent防止;save救。根据句意,故选D。
⑷句意:我的话务员呼叫着指挥官报告(情况),同时我命令两位战士帮我锁定并敲掉机关枪。say说;inform通知;announce宣布;通知;report报告。根据逻辑可知战场发现敌情要向上级报告,故选D。
⑸enemy敌人;danger危险;machine gun机枪;game游戏。此处既要作knock out的宾语,又要作locate的宾语,应该是上文中提到的机枪,故选C。
⑹句意:当我单膝跪地对我的伙伴讲的时候,我听到爆炸声——然后我就躺在那里了。knee膝盖;back后背;head头;foot脚。根据逻辑推理可知人被炸伤了当然应该是躺在地上,故选B。
⑺句意:“杰克!杰克!你已经被打中了。”话务员喊道。hit撞;击中;hurt受伤;destroy毁掉;kill杀死。由下文可知作者被击中,故选A。
⑻句意:两个救护员把握捆在担架上。在救护站,一个医生把绷带绑住我在流血的腿。dirty脏的;weak弱的;dusty布满灰尘的;bloody流血的。根据上下文可知选D。
⑼句意:过了一会儿传来一个护士的喊声,“醒醒,杰克!你得上飞机——你要飞到英格兰的一家医院!”truck卡车;ship轮船;stretcher担架;plane飞机。由下文的fly可知选D。
⑽句意:我变得焦躁不安。sad伤心;angry生气的;restless焦躁不安的;disappointed失望的。根据下文不能落下到新婚妻子的照片,所以听说要回England,作者变得焦急,故选C。
⑾句意:我所有的东西都在一大堆装备里面。mountainous巨大的;像山一样的;neat整洁的;tidy整齐的;small小的。根据语境可知选A。
⑿句意:战后除了我一直带在身上的新婚妻子艾伦的照片,我可以失去一切。lose失去;replace代替;see看见;throw扔。根据句意可知作者的意思是艾伦的照片是他的一切,不能丢掉,故选A。
⒀sometimes有时候;occasionally偶尔;always总是;一直;never从不。根据逻辑推断可知是一直带在身上,故选C。
⒁句意:“我要拿到我妻子的照片才走。”find找到;发现;look for寻找;photograph照片;get得到。作者已经受伤,所以自己不能去找,故AB不合句意,根据句意可知选D。
⒂句意:“在你从我身上取走的防毒面具罩上。”take away from从……拿走,其他几个短语均不与away搭配,故选A。
⒃句意:我知道护士会让我去的,但是她说“好吧,我看看能不能找到。”stop阻止;拦下;make让;使;help帮助;take带走。根据空格后的me go可知此处考查make sb do结构,故选B。
⒄句意:接着(她)跑出去在那一堆东西里仔细寻找。run跑;walk走;step迈步;come来。根据上下文可知此时作者已经受伤,所以非常紧急,故选A
⒅句意:最后她一路跑着,上气不接下气地喊着,“我拿到了。”calmly冷静地;breathlessly气喘吁吁地;quietly安静地;slowly慢慢地。根据逻辑可知选B。

五、短文填空
16.(2017·浙江会考)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Snakes are just about the most frightening thing in the world, according to Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr. The only thing (bad) than a snake you can see is a snake you can't see, however. And thanks the photos Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers offer, you can experience the latter horror from the comfort of almost anywhere else besides the place that snake is.
The snake-like animals' removal(移动) and relocation (serve) from Queensland, Australia posted a challenge to its 51,000 some-odd fans (find) the snake in the photo.
Any luck The photo shows that this particular backyard seems like regular "I Spy" book for snakes, so it's understandable if they are still looking hard. The snake is actually in the top right corner, (hide) in the crook(藤条) between the two fences.
Fear of snakes (call) "Ophidiophobia"(蛇恐怖症) or "being a rational person". People are afraid of a lot of odd things, though.
This fun little puzzle proves to just be further evidence that Australia is a (terrible) dangerous place where everything (try) to eat you. We'll just stick to trying to find turtles in flowers, thank you very much.
【答案】worse;to;where;service;to find;a;hiding;is called;terribly;is trying
【知识点】语法填空;短文填词
【解析】【分析】
⑴句意:然而,比你看得见的蛇更糟糕的唯一的东西是你看不见的蛇。由than可知用比较级,故填worse。
⑵句意:多亏了阳光海岸捕蛇者们提供的照片。短语:thanks to由于;幸亏。故填to。
⑶句意:除了那条蛇所在的地方外,你可以体验到来自任何地方的后者带来的恐惧。此处是定语从句,先行词是the place,指地点,故填where。
⑷本句的谓语是posted,from Queensland, Australia是介词短语,修饰前面的名词,所以应将serve变为名词,故填service。
⑸句意:澳大利亚昆士兰的蛇形动物迁移和安置服务为51000名猎奇爱好者设了这样一个挑战来找到照片里的蛇。此处表示目的,故填不定式to find。
⑹句意:这个特别的后院好像一本常见的“我是间谍”书籍。由中心词book可知此处需要不定冠词a。
⑺句意:那条蛇实际上在右上角,藏在两个栅栏之间的藤条中。句子的谓语是is,此处hide是非谓语动词,与snake构成逻辑上的主动关系,故填hiding。
⑻句意:对蛇的恐惧被称为“蛇恐怖症”,此处是句子的谓语,表示被动含义,故填被动语态is called。
⑼句意:澳大利亚是一个极度危险的地方。修饰形容词dangerous,故填副词terribly。
⑽句意:在那里一切东西都试图要吃你。此处是定语从句的谓语,表示现阶段正在发生,故填is trying。
【点评】本题考查在语境中根据语法规则对单词进行正确使用。需要考虑词性变化,固定搭配,动词的各种形式等语法知识。答题时注意上下文所提供的信息。平时要夯实自身的基本功,加强词汇记忆以及学会灵活词性转换。

18.(2017·浙江会考)阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Want to know how to survive a plane crash What about a terrorist attack To put your mind at ease in nearly any situation, you can almost guarantee your survival if you never leave the house without 3 necessary items, i.e. a lighter(打火机), a lifestraw(救命吸管) and a raincoat.
Right off the place full of danger, your first instinct(本能) might be to search for help the minute you realize you're in trouble. But survival experts insist you should stay where you are until help finds you, instead; doing so will make it easier for the search and rescue teams to locate your location.
What should you do until then, you ask Prepare to hunker down(盘腿坐下) for the long run. That's where your three pieces of survival necessities come into play, Stewart says.
For one, you should have something to start a fire on you at all times. Fire-starting tools are inexpensive to purchase, and you can easily carry them around in a backpack or pant pocket. But even without a fancy item, all you really need is something to light the first flame.
"You can use cotton balls covered in petroleum jelly(凡士林油) as a fire starter," Stewart told USA TODAY. "They are water resistant and will start a fire with just a spark."
Second, you'll need something to make your drinking water fit to drink, such as a canteen(饭盒) that can boil water. Stewart recommends buying a $20 lifestraw, which "can be struck into the muddiest pool of water you can find and you suck the water out like a straw." Any doubt It could still save your life, Stewart says.
"I always say that your life depends on your water source," he said. …
You can keep all three items with you when you are away from your home. …
注意:1). 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2). 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3). 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头词或句子已为你写好;
4). 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
【答案】"I always say that your life depends on your water source," he said. "If you are in a bad situation and have to drink water not fit to drink, you take the risk of drinking wild poisonous water, which can quickly kill you." In this case, a lifestraw will come into play. Finally, Stewart recommends having a raincoat, or anything that can be used to protect you against the weather. Even food should take a back seat to these three necessary items, he says. "Everyone gets really worried about food, but the human body is designed to last a long time without food. When it comes to survival necessary items, food's on the bottom of the list," he said.
You can keep all three items with you when you are away from your home. You can keep them in a backpack, if you're hiking or camping, or even a car if you're traveling on the road. But in a word, the best thing you can do is to ensure your own survival happens before you even leave.
