【题目】Science is always advancing over time. A self-driving car from the Google may be coming to a street near you. However, you won’t be able to buy it now. “We’re working to build the world’s most experienced driver,” Kraft, director of the project, said. “Everything that we learn in one of our cars gets passed to all of our cars. But you may need to get over the idea of traditional car ownership along the way.”
Google’s software has already driven 5 million miles in U.S. cities, including an “early rider” test in Phoenix last April. Since then Google has grown confident enough to remove the “auxiliary wheel”: a human “safety driver”. Powering the vehicle’s self-driving functions is a series of cameras, radars and sensors on the car’s roof, which detect everything nearby from other vehicles and passers-by to cyclists.
Kraft stressed that Google’s cars aren’t connected—they don’t need a 5G wireless link to go anywhere. “The car has everything it needs to drive on the car itself.” He said, “There are no signals coming from outer space or something telling it to turn right.” The resulting ride may not be too exciting but safe. Kraft added. “We can see three football fields down the road, we would come to a stop before we ran into these crowds.”
Google’s system has a major advantage over the semi-autonomous(半自主的)systems of Tesla and Cadillac, both of which need continued human attention. Kraft said Google plans to have service in every major city by 2028 with thousands of cars driving themselves.
【1】What does the underlined words “auxiliary wheels” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A car that is very old.
B. A driver who has been trained well.
C. A part of a car used to sound the alarm.
D. A condition where a driver doesn’t know his role.
【2】Why is Google’s car thought to be safe in the text?
A. Because it can get away from danger easily.
B. Because it is equipped with 5G wireless link.
C. Because it can stop before the crowds occasionally.
D. Because it can keep a safe distance from everything nearby.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. Google’s software has not been tested.
B. Google’s cars have not been put into the market.
C. Driving the Google’s car may not be too exciting.
D. Google’s cars still need driver’s attention all the way.
【4】What does the author think of the Google’s car?
A. It’s affordable.
B. It’s still a theory.
C. It has a bright future.
D. It’s the most advanced by now.

【题目】For students at The Farm School in Hamilton, Virginia, the classroom is outside-every day.
Jaclyn Jenkins is a founder of the school. "The number one question immediately we get from parents is ‘what happens if it rains?’ And we say, ‘Bring an extra pair of clothes!’" Jenkins adds, "We still educate them. They also get energy. Their brains are working when they re moving. So, our goal is to always be outside."
The Farm School is a preschool-a place for three-and four-year-olds to learn and play. Teacher Alison Huff has taught at other schools. She says The Farm School gives its students more of a hands-on learning experience. For example, children use pumpkins to learn about colors and counting. They learn about measurements by planting seeds 30 centimeters apart. Huff says "We can use everything a regular preschool uses, but out in the garden."
Apart from planting vegetables and fruits, students help prepare food and clean up afterward. The school teaches the children to cook using the food they have grown. "They can see the advantages of what they have in the garden and taste it then instead of going to the grocery store and buying it," Huff says.
The preschoolers also lean words in languages other than English. Huff speaks in both English and Spanish. Her assistant speaks French and Arabic. She adds that a 3-year-old in her class speaks four different languages.
Farm animals are also an important part of the education program. Jaclyn Jenkins says the children learn about a different animal every month. Two months ago, she says, that animal was a cow. The children spent another month with a large bird-a turkey.
The children come home with new experiences, new knowledge and sometimes a few vegetables.
【1】What worries parents most about the school?
A. Children have to learn outside.
B. There are too many things to learn.
C. How to deal with it when it rains.
D. Whether there are enough teachers.
【2】What may the underlined word "hands-on" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Useful.
B. Practical.
C. Attractive.
D. Reliable.
【3】Which is part of the education program of the school?
A. Counting and measuring.
B. Raising animals.
C. Buying fruits and vegetables.
D. Cleaning the farm.
【4】Which of the following statements is true about the school?
A. Children have to cook for themselves.
B. Children in the school learn by doing.
C. Playing outside is the most important.
D. The goal is to have the children stay outside.

【题目】阅读下面的短文和问题,根据短文内容,在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚,结构正确,书写工整。
When you’re sitting at your computer, do you work all day without a break? Or do you allow yourself to become distracted (分心)now and again ... to open a few extra tabs, check social media, read a bit of news, keep up with the latest fashion trends, and maybe catch up on some celebrity gossip.
Stop! You’re ‘cyberloafing’. This word is a combination of ‘ cyber’, which means ‘related to computers’, and ‘loafing’, which means ‘ relaxing in a lazy way ’ . We do it, and we do it a lot. A study from the University of Texas suggests we are guilty of this form of procrastination (拖延)for 14% of our working day. On a Friday afternoon, I expect it’s more than that.
I’ll admit to losing myself in cyberloafing. In fact, I’ve already done it in the course of writing this story. Okay, more than once. It can damage your productivity and even your career because according to the University of Texas research, each time a worker gets distracted by the Internet, it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back to work.
More than that, cyberloafing has a dark side, according to a report published in The Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace. It argues that cyberloafing is connected to several negative personality qualities. People who cyberloaf are more likely to be selfish and tricky.
Why do we do it? For some, it’s most likely an escape from what they’re supposed to be doing. Others might get a feeling of satisfaction from finding a great deal online.
When you have the whole world of the Internet at your fingertips, it’s hard to resist.
How do we solve this problem? If you can truly ask yourself why you are cyberloafing,then that can help identify the base problem. And if that sounds like too much hard work,you could just switch off the Internet for a couple of hours!
So,in the meantime,let me just close those extra tabs.
【1】How is the word "cyberloafing" formed?(不多于8个单词)
【2】What can cyberloafing damage?(不多于6个单词)
【3】Why do people do "cyberloafing"?(不多于13个单词)
