Rules can help the public make the right （3）choices，and remain safe．Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes．Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent （4）accidents．

分析 ：本文是一篇议论文，就规章制度是否有助于人们判断是非做出议论．从正反两方面议论，首先说明规章制度在很多方面都是有利的，然后说明因为不同的地方或个人有不同的规章制度，导致依赖规章制度做决定也不是易事．

解答 1．A  考查形容词．根据下文hurt orbully others 意义相对的应是bekind to others，属于反义重现．故选A．
2．C  考查副词．根据"too"可以知道，此题是同义重现．obviously的同义词为clearly．故选C．
3．D  考查名词．由常识和理解下句意思"…tell themtheright things to do on the road"可知，规章是告诉人们对该如何做作出正确"选择"．故选D．
4．A   考查名词．根据上下义重现，上义词为accidents下义词为crash．故选A．
5．C   考查形容词．由逻辑推断可知，如果人们遵守规章而不用考虑其他事情，他们就很"容易"形成是"黑白"观．故选C．
6．D    考查副词．因tell the truth与lying相对，而与always相对的应是never．此外，此题也可以根据分析比较三个选项seldom，rarely，merely都有一个相同点都是表示很少，选择任何一个都不恰当．故选D．
7．A    考查名词搭配．根据句意可知，即使他们会陷入麻烦，他们也会坚持自己的观点．根据分析比较四个选项，其他三个选项都不恰当．"getinto power上台"，"get intoprison坐牢"，"get intocontrol控制"．故选A．
8．D    考查副词．根据此句的意思"有时很难严格地区分正确与错误"不难得出答案．故选D．
9．B   考查形容词．根据常识，不能得出答案．另外也由but可知，应选与下文中kind相对的cruel．属于反义重现．故选B．
10．A  考查副词．根据此句的意思"他们认为可以吃肉，但对动物依然是友好的"不难得出答案．故选A．
11．D   考查形容词．根据常识可知，偷东西应有"犯罪感"，即感到犯了罪（guilty）．故选D．
12．B   考查动词分词．根据常识，poor（贫穷）是有会starving（挨饿）的．故选B．
13．C   考查动词．根据此句的意思"规章制度有助于我们和睦相处，因为规章制度告诉我们对待他人的正确方式"不难得出答案．故选C．
14．B   考查形容词．根据同义重现，由最后一句"ruleschange all the time，and that some schools have some regulations and othershave different ones…"可知，规章制度也可能是"令人困惑的"．故选B．
15．C   考查动词．根据此句的意思既然不同学校的规章不同，该由谁来"评定"什么是正确的呢？故选C．

Raymond Wang, 17, of Canada was awarded first place for a device that improves air quality on airplanes while cutting down the spreading of diseases at this year’s Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

According to Intel, Wang's system improves the quality of fresh air in a plane cabin by more than 190 per cent, while cutting diseases by up to 55 times, compared to conventional designs. Intel noted that Wang's invention could be easily and economically fixed into existing airplanes.

Two other teen researchers earned awards of $50,000 each at the event. One developed a technique to more quickly diagnose diseases caused by HIV. It’s the virus responsible for AIDS. The other invented a device to more quickly shut down undersea oil spills.

“Intel believes young people are the key to future innovation and that in order to confront the global challenges of tomorrow, we need students from all backgrounds to get involved in science, technology and engineering,” says Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation. “We hope these winners will inspire other young people to pursue their interest in these fields,” she says, “and apply their curiosity and creativity to the common good.”

This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair featured approximately 1,700 young scientists selected from more than 75 countries and regions. In addition to the top winners, 600 finalists received awards and prizes for their innovative research.

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair honours the world’s most promising student scientists, inventors and engineers. Their projects are then evaluated online by nearly 1,000 judges from almost every scientific field.

The 2015 Intel ISEF is funded jointly by Intel and the Intel Foundation with additional awards and support from dozens of other academic, governmental and scientific organizations. This year, US$4 million was awarded.

1.Compared to traditional designs, Raymond Wang’s system _________.

A. prevents oceans from oil pollution quickly

B. improves air quality on airplanes effectively

C. treats diseases happening on airplanes quickly

D. costs more but can be easily fixed into airplanes

2.For what purpose is Intel ISEF carried out?

D. To encourage young people to get interested in science.

3.What do we know about 2015 Intel ISEF?

A. More than 30% of finalists receive awards and prizes.

After a friend recommended that he join a secret Google project six years ago, Brian Torcellini became a driver in a driverless car.

Torcellini，31, leads a crew of test drivers who are legally required to ride in Google’s fleet of 48 driverless cars . They only take a control in emergencies. Otherwise, they make observations that help the company’s engineers improve the driverless cars.

The driverless cars already have covered more than 2 million miles in six years of testing on private tracks, on highways and city streets. The vehicles have traveled more than half that distance in automated mode (自动模式)，with one test driver in place to take control of the car if the technology fails or a potentially dangerous situation arises. Meanwhile, another driver sits in the front passenger seat taking notes of the problems that need to be fixed.

The job of the test driver requires a sense of adventure, something Torcellini acquired when he began to surf in high school. His other hobbies include fishing and scuba diving.

While the engineers who are programming the robot cars have technical backgrounds, most of the test drivers don’t. Torcellini worked in a book store. He dreamed of becoming a writer. He ended up at Google in 2009. Espinosa, 27, was working in a bicycle shop before he was hired as a test driver two years ago . Stephanie Villegas, 28, was a swim instructor, before becoming a test driver. Other test drivers were former soldiers and former photographers. They all share at least one thing in common: spotless driving records. Besides this, the job also requires a combination of good judgment, patience and fearlessness.

Before they are entrusted (托付) with the cars，Google’s test drivers must complete three-week training courses. The drivers are taught to take control of the robot car whenever there is any moment of doubt or danger.

Google employs “dozens” of test drivers but won't reveal the precise number . California law requires two test drivers per vehicle.

1.What do you know about Brian Torcellini ?

A. He is in charge of a crew of test drivers.

B. He used to be a swim instructor.

C. He led a secret Google project.

D. He has technical backgrounds.

2.The driver sitting in the front passenger seat is responsible for .

A. fixing the car problems

B. driving in emergencies

C. recording the car problems

D. monitoring the car driver

3.We can infer that .

A. Stephanie Villegas is interested in scuba diving

B. Brian Torecellini is very fond of literature

C. Espinosa is an excellent cyclist in California

D. driverless cars are very popular in California

4.The underlined word “this” refers to .

A. having good judgments

B. having clean driving records

C. breaking the traffic rules

D. having technical backgrounds
6．Tom's mother kept telling him that he should work harder，but ____ didn't help．（　　）
A．heB．whichC．itD．she

While it’s wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, traveling alone is another experience. 1.

1. Meet new people.

People who are traveling alone seem more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach. 2.

2.Do everything you want and nothing you don’t want.

Have you ever been hesitant to do that half-day at the spa you are eager for because you feel bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? 3. If you want to “waste” the day sitting at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won’t have to answer anyone.

34.

If traveling makes you a good, smart person, then traveling alone makes you better and smarter. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening. However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you’ll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.

Great service.

For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you’re traveling alone. 5. And it’s possible that when you make it known, you could be offered a better room or a free cocktail.

A.The key is to keep an open mind and keep safety in mind.

B.Travelling alone makes you truly listen to your inner thoughts.

C.When you travel alone, you don’t need to please anyone but yourself.

D.Here are four good reasons why you should try it.

E.It is refreshing.

F.Cheering up.

G.People tend to admire those who travel alone.
