    7．George Zimmerman's first court appearance before a Florida judge came on Tuesday in connection with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin．The case has caused a national debate in the United States about race，self-defense laws and gun control．
    It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman．The judge said he had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally charged on May 29th．
    Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night，just before special prosecutor （检举人）Angela Corey announced the charge against him．
    Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin．
    "It's the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for"Corey said．
    Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community where Martin's father lives．He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict．The shooting caused a national cry led by Martin's parents who insisted their son was murdered．They also accused Zimmerman of targeting their son because he was black．
    "We just wanted an arrest and we got it，"Trayvon Martin's mother Fulton said．
    Many in Sanford，Florida-the city where the shooting took place-welcomed the charge．
    "All of us were wanting this to move on and get to this process where it is now into the justice system，"one man said．
    "It was long overdue （迟到的） and I am glad they decided to do something，"another said．
    Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force．Prosecutor Corey say：
    ''I'm prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in court''．
    Mark O'Mara，Zimmerman's lawyer，would not make his plan public，but he said his client （委托人） was worried about the trial．
    "If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge，Zimmerman could face up to life in prison．"，O'Mara said．

    66．Why did the case draw so much attention around U．S．A？C
    A．Because George Zimmerman was very cruel when he killed Trayvon Martin．
    B．Because Trayvon Martin's father was a famous lawyer．
    C．Because the case was related with race，self-defense laws and gun control．
    D．Because George Zimmerman would be sentenced to life in prison．
    67．What's Angela Corey's attitude towards this case？B
    A．She showed sympathy for the black people．
    B．She wanted to defend justice for the victims．
    C．She hated George Zimmerman very much．
    D．She was against self-defense．
    68．Which of the relationships is NOT true？D
    A．Zimmerman shot Martin during a conflict．
    B．Mark O'Mara was Zimmerman's lawyer．
    C．Sybrina Fulton was Martin's mother．
    D．Angela Corey was the judge of the case．
    69．Which of the following statements is the Fact？A
    A．Zimmerman turned himself into authorities before he was charged．
    B．Zimmerman would be put into prison．
    C．Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense in a gated community．
    D．Zimmerman targeted Trayvon Martin because he was black．
    70．From the passage we can knowB．
    A．all people welcomed the charge in the city where the shooting took place
    B．Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin's mother couldn't agree on how the thing happened
    C．Mark O'Mara was willing to make his plan public
    D．police did not charge Zimmerman with a crime at last．

    分析 文章报道了George Zimmerman枪杀非裔少年Trayvon Martin出庭受审的新闻，还报导了社会对此案件的关注，各方对这件事情的看法．

    解答 66-70CBDAB
    66  C   细节题：从第一段的句子：The case has caused a national debate in the United States about race，self-defense laws and gun control．可知这个案子收到全美的关注，因为它涉及到种族，枪支和自卫法，选C
    67   B   细节题：从第三段的句子：Corey told reporters she would fight for"Trayvon Martin""It's the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for，"Corey said 可知Angela Corey要为受害者的正义辩护．选B
    68  D  细节题：从第三段的句子：just before special prosecutor（公诉人）Angela Corey announced the charge against him可知 Angela Corey 是公诉人不是法官．选D
    69   A  细节题：从第三段的句子：Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night，just before special prosecutor（公诉人）Angela Corey announced the charge against him．可知Zimmerman 在受指控前把自己变成权威．选A
    70  B   细节题：从文章The shooting caused a national cry led by Martin's parents who insisted their son was murdered．They also accused Zimmerman of targeting their son because he was black．可以看出Zimmerman 和Trayvon Martin's mother对所发生的事情没有达成一致意见，故选B．

    19．My mother finds more achievable with children as a school dinner lady rather than operating computers but some decades ago my mother was replaced by a computer．Her job was pressing buttons on an electromechanical adding machine to work out electricity bills．
    In my generation I am faced with just how far this growth of technology will go in replacing not just jobs but more fundamental aspects of being human．
    A Deloitte report published today suggests that 60% of jobs here in the North East are at high risk of being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence．Yet the implications（含义） are complex．Brynjolfsson and McAfee in The Second Machine Age argue that while some jobs will disappear，others will be created and some existing jobs will become more valuable．This situation is extremely important for education，training and financial field．
    But are there wider implications for spirituality？Will these intelligent machines become conscious and what might this mean for our self-understanding of what it means to be human？
    Here we need to be careful in dealing with the complex relationship of science and science fiction．Humans and Alex Garland's Ex Machina present an almost inevitable appearance of intelligent machines with consciousness．However，the science is still uncertain about this possibility of intelligent machines，even if the fiction raises useful questions．Equally，those who directly rule it out by claiming that human beings will always be unique need to take scientific advances seriously．
    As for me，I welcome intelligent machines taking away dull work，but also want to engage in the discussion of how we structure our world so that all can experience what it means to be fully human．And if the intelligent machines eventually appear as self-aware and with a capacity to love，then why should they not be loved by God？

    32．Faced with the intelligent machines，the author's mother feelsA．
    A．more comfortable as a dinner cook       
    B．aimless for the future life
    C．satisfied with the current situation      
    D．hopeless with intelligent machines
    33．According to Brynjolfsson and McAfee，what kind of job will still exist？D
    A．Farmer．
    B．News presenter．
    C．Security guard．
    D．Accountant．
    34．What does the underlined word"it"refer to in the fifth paragraph？B
    A．The science of intelligent machines．
    B．Intelligent machines with consciousness．
    C．The science fiction involved useful questions．
    D．Appearance of human like intelligent machines．
    35．What is the structure of the passage？C

    18．There was a man playing the piano in a bar．He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar．People came in just to hear him play．But one night，a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more．He wanted him to sing a song．
    The man said，"I don't sing．"
    But the customer was persistent （固执的）．He told the bar manager，"I'm tired of listening to the piano．I want that man to sing!"
    The manager shouted across the room，"If you want to get paid，sing a song．Our customers are asking you to sing!"
    So he did．He sang a song．A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time．And everyone was surprised by his song-"Mona，Mona Lisa"．He got lots of applause （掌声） that night．
    He had such a talent for singing，but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years!If without such a chance，he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar．However，now he had become one of the best-known singers in America．
    You，too，have skills and abilities．Maybe your"talent"is not as great as the singer above，but it may be better than you think!And with effort，most skills can be improved．So，in your life，you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!

    29．Why did the man start to sing？C
    A．Because he wanted to make more money．
    B．Because the bar manager said he liked his song．
    C．Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer．
    D．Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing．
    30．What do you think of the bar manager？B
    A．Strict．   B．Rude．   C．Patient．   D．Kind．
    31．What do the underlined words"he just had been sitting on his talent"probably mean？A
    A．He didn't discover his talent．
    B．He didn't sing．
    C．He had no talent for singing．
    D．He hated to sing．

    19．Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind．
    Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．
    Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted．And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting．
    Despite back-to-back hearings this  week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed．
    Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems．
    Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference（油门踏板故障）or sticky gas pedals（刹车）．Outside experts have suggested electronic problems．
    House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company's founder．
    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model．
    Toyota has recalled 8.5million cars，more than 6million of them in the United States．
    It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars．
    Toyota's January sales already fell 16percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30percent to 40．Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that．
    It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．

    66．The best title for this passage isA．
    A．Toyota is in trouble    B．Toyota is under hearing
    C．Toyota is finished      D．Toyota is still running
    67．What is the purpose of the hearing？D
    A．America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers．
    B．America wants to get Toyota out of the US market．
    C．America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty．
    D．America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem．
    68．What can we infer from the passage？B
    A．Toyota provides very good post sale service．
    B．Toyota's biggest market is in the United States．
    C．Toyota will be closed soon．
    D．Toyota's dealership in the US will all be closed．
    69．Why does Toyota recall cars and offer customers money back for rental cars and other expenses？A
    A．It tries to avoid the maximum damages to the company．
    B．It is big company and has means to fix every problem．
    C．It's part of post servie．
    D．It's a way to compete in auto market．
    70．The last sentence of this passage indicatesB．
    A．Analyst Koji Endo is fully confident about Toyota
    B．Toyota could meet a worse situation
    C．Toyota would get out of trouble sooner or later
    D．Toyota would build up a better reputation among its customers．

    16．It is easy to find your way about in New York．It is laid out so regularly．Instead of streets winding and twisting （迂回） as they do in London，they are all regular and well planned．The streets running north and south are called"avenues"and are numbered，e．g.1st Avenue，2nd Avenue，etc．The streets going east and west are called"streets"and are also numbered，e．g.51st Street，63rd Street．It is all much more logical （合理的） than London's street names．But I couldn't help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are London's illogical but colorful names of streets，e．g．"Bishopgate"（which is not a gate and hasn't a Bishop in it）；"Haymarket"or"Corn market"（where you won't see any hey or corn） or"Poultry"（without a living chicken anywhere in sight） or"Thread needle Street"（where you won't find little girls learning to sew）．
