【题目】Every time we get behind the wheel of a car, we put our lives and the lives of others at risk. Self-driving cars are designed to reduce those risks by letting technology control our vehicles.
Accident rates for self-driving cars have been much lower than the rate, for human-driven cars. 【1】
As humans, we can make moral choices in avoiding accidents. To avoid hitting a child, for example, human drivers might sharply turn a car away from the child even if others may be injured. 【2】 Researchers studied this issue. They have developed the Moral Machine website to help explore the choices self-driving cars should make.
【3】. You are shown two possible traffic situations and you choose between them. An accident will take place. You choose how many living beings would be hurt or killed.
In one situation there may be a female doctor, a child, two dogs and a homeless person who would be killed. In the other situation, you might have two babies and a cat who would be killed. 【4】
The Moral Machine website has many situations and many possible outcomes. When you click on the situation of your choice, it will be highlighted. 【5】 At the end of the situation, you are shown the results, based on the choices you made. The results show which character you were most likely to save and which character you were most likely to have die.
A. Who should those victims be?
B. Then the next situation appears.
C. You choose who lives and who dies.
D. You can use the Moral Machine to be the judge.
E. But what moral choices can self-driving cars make?
F. The Moral Machine website lets you choose how you would react in a collision.
G. Google’s self-driving car has had only 13 collisions after traveling 1.8 million miles.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 UK education is all about giving you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative, and support to help you achieve your best.
On a UK course you will benefit from excellent teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.

The attention to quality is reflected in the UK's excellent results：four of the top six universities in the world are in the UK.
The UK is a worldleading research nation. 54% of the research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either “worldleading” or “internationally excellent”．
At the most recent inspection, 97% of further education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall effectiveness.
In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said they were satisfied with their UK learning experiences.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car and landing on my head. Now I am twenty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地) remember the brightness of sunshine and what red color is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people.
It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me — a potential to live — which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed(倒塌) and become a chair rocker on the front porch(门廊) for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person； that somewhere in the sweeping, complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
（1）From the first two paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The writer lost his sight in an accident when he was a little kid.
B.The writer appreciated what he had owned very much.
C.The writer thought he would love his life more if he hadn't been blind.
D.The writer thought it would be wonderful to see again
（2）The underlined word “calamity” in the first paragraph probably means __________.
A.misfortune
B.failure
C.reality
D.belief
（3）In the third paragraph, the writer said he was lucky because__________.
A.he had a potential to live
B.he made good adjustment
C.his parents and teachers helped him a lot
D.he could fight to live with his blindness
（4）In the writer's opinion, the most difficult thing for him was __________.
A.to start with elementary things
B.to have faith in himself
C.to fight with blindness
D.to make adjustments to reality
（5）What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.He failed sometimes but he still made progress.
B.It is very common for us to fail with our limitations.
C.We should try for something out of reach.
D.We should never give up and gradually make progress.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
（D）
The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price, quality, and use, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, however, is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician — and even then there may be no real choice — it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as serious.
This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions, but in general it is the doctor's judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer”. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants— the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital, and for the most part the patient plays a passive role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.
（1）The author's primary purpose in writing this passage is to ________.
A.urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
B.inform potential patients of their health-care rights
C.criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
D.analyze some important economic factors in health-care
（2）It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies because ________.
A.most of patient's bills are paid by his health insurance
B.it is doctors who generate income for the hospital
C.some patients might refuse to take their physician's advice
D.a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient's health
（3）According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to “return next Wednesday”, the doctor is in fact ________.
A.advising the patient to seek a second opinion
B.warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary
C.instructing the patient to buy more medical services
D.admitting that the first visit was ineffective
（4）The author is most probably leading up to ________.
A.a proposal to control medical costs
B.a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice
C.an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US
D.a discussion of a new medical treatment
