1．Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways．You may wonder how paving（铺砌） a road can lead to less usable fresh water．A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater．Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers．It comes from underground．The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater．
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts（干旱） than areas with more rainfall，but in any case，good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs．
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too．In the United States，a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live，but there's a lot we can do to lower the number．
You can take steps to save water in your home．To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day．Wash it only once a day．Run your dishwasher only when it is full．Help your parents fix any leaks in your home．You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away．
（1）What can be inferred from the text？
A．All water shortages are due to human behavior．
B．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs．
C．There is much we can do to reduce family size．
D．The average family in America makes proper use of water．
（2）The last paragraph is intended to．
A．show us how to fix leaks at home
B．tell us how to run a dishwasher
C．prove what drinking glass is best for us
D．suggest what we do to save water at home
（3）The text is mainly about
A．why paving roads reduces our water
B．how much we depend on water to live
C．why droughts occur more in dry climates
D．how human activity affects our water supply．组卷：2引用：1难度：0.9 -
2．Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles．The Atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization．Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness．It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets．
"Storm at Sea"，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic．
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast．
As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull．It is an ocean that moves impressively and endlessly．It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling．
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach．It mimics（模仿）nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature．It is filled with symbiotic existences，too；unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of sub-ocean vitality．And it has a psychology．It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking．
（1）Unlike real inland seas，the Atlantic Ocean is．
A．always energetic
B．not enough in liveliness
C．shaped like a square
D．favored by ancient poets
（2）What is the purpose of using the poem"Storm at Sea"in the passage？
A．To describe the movement of the waves．
B．To show the strength of the storm．
C．To represent the power of the ocean．
D．To prove the vastness of the sea．
（3）What does the underlined word"symbiotic"mean？
A．Living together．
B．Growing fast．
C．Moving harmoniously．
D．Breathing peacefully．
（4）In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to．
A．a beautiful and poetic place
B．a flesh and blood person
C．a wonderful world
D．a lovely animal组卷：6引用：4难度：0.7 -
3．Many drivers dream of the day when they can sit back while their car drives itself．While several companies are working hard to make it a reality，self-driving cars still face many problems．
Google was one of the first to get into this industry．It has been developing self-driving cars since 2009，and its new driverless car is called Firefly．
The two-seater car has a cute，round shape．Its front end looks like a friendly face：The"eyes"are headlights，the"nose"is a laser sensor and radar．
Another group of radars，lasers and cameras sits on top of the roof and gives the cars a 360-degree"view"．They are linked to computer software that can identify people，cars，road signs，and traffic lights，and thus tell the car to make turns and stops．
But the driverless car is only a"fair weather friend"，the Daily Mail commented．
According to the MIT Technology Review，the current driverless cars can't react like a human driver．They can't drive in heavy rain or snow．
Chris Urmson，director of the Google car team，said that this is because the detection technology is not yet good enough to separate certain objects from weather conditions．
In the cars'"eyes"，raindrops and snowflakes are the same as rocks，and cars stop for them．
But if the manhole ahead is uncovered，they drive over it without hesitation．
Also，if a police officer waves at the side of the road to ask traffic to stop，the cars cannot understand them．
Despite all these problems，Urmson said driverless cars will"happen more quickly than people think"-perhaps as soon as in five years' time．
But even at that time，driverless cars won't be truly"driverless"．
In the US，driverless cars are only allowed on roads in certain states if someone sits in the driver's seat．
European countries，Mexico，Chile，Brazil，and Russia follow the United Nations Convention （公约） on Road Traffic．The convention used to say："Every driver shall at all times be able to control his vehicle or to guide his animals．"A change was agreed in May，allowing a car to drive itself as long as a driver is in the car and able to take the wheel at any time．
（1）Which of the following is TRUE about driverless cars？
A．The equipment on top of their roofs helps the cars to get a full view of the area around them．
B．They look completely different from normal cars．
C．It is illegal for them to drive on roads according to the United Nations Convention on road traffic．
D．The cars' software analyzes the information it gets from the radars and then adjusts the radars' directions．
（2）According to the article，the current driverless cars stop when．
A．it is thundering
B．there is an uncovered manhole ahead
C．the traffic lights are red
D．a police officer suggests that they do so
（3）What's one of the"problems"facing driverless cars according to the article？
A．How to make them run faster．
B．How to guide the cars when the GPS fails to work．
C．How to power the cars using greener energy．
D．How to improve their detection technology．
（4）What best describes Urmson's attitude to the development of driverless cars？
A．Excited．
B．Doubtful．
C．Optimistic．
D．Worried．组卷：3引用：1难度：0.7

As we know that，body language is important in our life for some reason．Firstly，it makes our communication more colorful．It's real hard to imagine a conversation without any body language．How dull and boring it will be talk without any gestures，face expressions or any other body movements!Secondly，body language makes our communication much effective．Taking a good speaker for example，his body movements will help him leave a deeper and stronger impression to listeners．Finally，sometimes we have to use body language．On some occasions（场合），we are not allowed to speak loudly in the library．However，when we meet someone in the street，there is no need for them to stop for a long chat，so a nod or a wave may be OK．组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5
