【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.
【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
（5）D
【解析】1从第二段 “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.”可知作者觉得失去了视力让他更加热爱生活，爱自己拥有的一切。 2从第一段“I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car and landing on my head.” 可知calamity 的意思是“灾难，不幸”。
3从第三段 “The adjustment is never easy, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me ... and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.”可知，他的父母和老师给予了他很多的鼓励和帮助。
4从第四段的第一句话 “The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.”可知他觉得最难的事情就是拥有足够的自信。
5从最后一段 “It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance.”以及整个段落的意思来看，作者最想告诉我们的应该是：不要放弃，然后让自己逐渐地进步。

【题目】B vitamins（维生素）may offer some protection against the effect of air pollution,a new study suggests.
The scientists say the effect is real but stress the limitations of their work.Follow-up studies are urgently needed, they say,in heavily polluted cities like Mexico.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO),over 90% of the world's population live in heavily-polluted areas.The one of the pollutants that is considered the most dangerous is very fine particulate matter, referred to as PM2.5.At around 1/30 the width of a human hair,PM2.5 can go deep into the human lung and contribute to lung and heart health problems in the young and old.
Scientists have long suspected that PM2.5 causes what are termed epigenetic（表观遗传）changes in our cells that can damage our health.Now in this new human trial,an international team of scientists wanted to see if exposure to concentrations of PM2.5 could be mitigated by daily B vitamins.
Ten volunteers were tested initially exposed to clean air and their basic responses were measured.The same volunteers were later tested with large doses（剂量）of B vitamins while exposed to air containing high levels of PM2.5.The researchers found that a four-week B vitamin intake limited the PM2.5 effect by between 28-76% at ten gene locations.They found a similar reduction in effect on the mitochondrial DNA,the parts of cells that produce energy.
However,the researchers caution that their study,while observing a real effect,has limitations.As well as the small number of participants,there was little information on the size of the B vitamin dose that caused the response.
【1】What is the main idea of the text?
A. B vitamins may fight against PM2.5.
B. PM2.5 can lead to epigenetic changes.
C. Further studies should be done on PM2.5.
D. Exposure to PM2.5 is more and more serious.
【2】Which can replace the underlined word "mitigated" in Paragraph 4?
A. measured B. ignored
C. reduced D. observed
【3】How many limitations does the text mention about the new study?
A. 2. B. 3.
C. 4. D. 5.
【4】How does the writer of the text like the new study?
A. He believes it deeply. B. He criticizes it strongly.
C. He thinks it needs testing again. D. He shows no opinion about it.

【题目】In France, a man walks on what can only be described as a human-sized hamster wheel. The wheel moves around and around, as the man keeps walking. What is he doing? He is lifting a heavy object to the top of a tower the same way workers moved such objects 800 years ago.
In the 13th century, workers did not have the 100-meter tall cranes they now use to build tall buildings. So they had to be creative and come up with simple machines to get their work done.
The man on the large wheel is walking at a reasonable speed. The wheel turns and pulls a rope connected to a pulley(滑轮)at the top of the tower. Another rope tied to the pulley lifts supplies from the ground.
This is just one way skilled craftsmen arc building a 13th-century castle without using modern tools. Crew have been working on the castle since 1997. It is being built in the Burgundy area of central France. Organizers expect the work to last another 10 to 15 years. That means it will take close to 30 years to finish the project.
The crew are making progress at about half the speed of the workers from 800 years ago. That is because many of them are accustomed to using modern tools. When the crew use heavy chisels(凿子）and hammers to break rock, as they did hundreds of years ago, they are learning as they go. The goal of the project is to learn more about old building techniques in case they might be of use today.
Clement Guerard, 44,is a stonemason; he cuts and builds with stone. He has been working on the tower for 17 years. He said one way he is able to work on something like this for so long is by forgetting “some of the pace of modern life", he is able to adapt to working by hand.
【1】Why is the man walking in the wheel?
A. To draw the attention of passers-by. B. To act as an ancient building worker.
C. To test an ancient machine for building. D. To raise building materials to the building top.
【2】What makes the project last so long?
A. The quality it requires. B. The ancient way to built it.
C. Its huge size. D. Its great height.
【3】What’s the purpose of building the tower in the ancient way?
A. To build a unique ancient building. B. To copy a famous ancient building.
C. To master ancient building techniques. D. To experience ancient way of building.
【4】Why has Clement Guerard worked such a long time for the tower?
A. He in used to doing handwork. B. He can get a steady income.
C. He forgets how to do other jobs. D. He likes building ancient buildings.

【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.
