2.If you are not any kind of a longtime A-list New Yorker celebrity like Woody Allen,chances are that you have never experienced,and will never experience-a meal in a legendary(神奇) Italian-American restaurant called Rao's.
    Rao's,the East Harlem restaurant with a history of more than l00 years,is simply the toughest restaurant to get a reservation in the US,if not the world.Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world's top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao's,the phone lines never open.
    There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant,and each is spoken for,semi-permanently,as regulars have had their reservations for years,and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends.The place is so small that the owners rarely have the flexibility to do favors even for people they know.   
    Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago.It was already tough to get a table at Rao's but reservations have been non-existent ever sincce the magic review.
    According to a critic who is"very,very lucky to have dined at Rao's a few times,"the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food.There are no menus at Rao's,and one of the owners will pull up a chair and run through the massive list of options,allowing people to have diner by mixing and matching nearly any ingredient(原料)with any classical Italian style of cooking.The place doesn't take credit cards,isn't open on weekends or for 1unch,and"at some point during your meal the one-room restaurant will almost unavoidably break out in song."It is truly one of a kind,"the critic wrote.

B.Rao's history is much longer than that of elBulli in Spain.

分析 本文文化生活类说明文,文中介绍了Rao's是美国最难预定的餐馆.这家餐馆有100多年的历史;餐馆只有十二张桌子,餐馆总是很忙,不需要宣传,因为常客已经预定多年,所以每个座位都是半固定的;大家以能在这家餐馆订到桌子而感到荣幸,被评论家认为是独一无二的,这里的经历和食物一样令人难忘.

解答 61.D.主旨大意题.本文围绕餐馆Rao's,介绍餐馆的历史、环境、经营状况和评论家对它的相关评论展开,因此答案选D.
62.B.细节理解题根据第二段提到Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world's top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao's,the phone lines never open西班牙的这个餐厅是世界顶级的餐厅,当热线一开通后就会售罄,但这个Rao's 餐厅根据不会有热线预定,说明其受欢迎的程度,故选B项.
63.A.细节理解题.根据第四段提到Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago既然它很繁忙,从来没有必要宣传;最后一次评论是35年前来自纽约时报;说明他的独一无二性与吸引力,故选A项.
64.C.细节理解题.根据第三段提到There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant,and each is spoken for,semi-permanently,as regulars have had their reservations for years,and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends(这个餐馆只有十二个桌子,都是口头传诵的,半固定的;因为顾客们已经预定多年,当他们不用时,会作为礼物的形式送给朋友),由此判断餐馆小,座位少,很多几乎是半固定,因此很难到这家餐馆就餐,故选C项.
65.C.细节推断题.根据最后一段提到According to a critic who is"very,very lucky to have dined at Rao's a few times,"the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food评论家认为经历和美味的食物一样,让人难忘,故选C项.

7.Anyone driving on Highway I between San  Francisco and Los Angeles recently may have,glimpsed a Toyota Prius with something curious-looking on the roof.Harder to notice was that the person at the wheel was not actually driving.The car is a project of Goole,which can drive themselves,using artificial intelligence software that can sense anything near the car and imitate the decisions made by a human driver.
Driverless cars are years from mass production,but technologists who have long dreamed of them believe that they can transform society as profoundly as the Internet has.
Robot drivers react faster than humans,have 360-degree perception and do not get distracted,sleepy or intoxicated,the engineers argue.They speak in terms of lives saved and injuries avoided-more than 37,000people died in car accidents in the United States in 2008.The engineers say the technology could double the capacity of roads by allowing cars to drive more safely while closer together.Because the robot cars would eventually be less likely to crash,they could be built lighter,reducing fuel consumption.But of course,to be truly safer,the cars must be far more reliable than,say,today's personal computers,which crash on occasion and are frequently infected.
The Google research program using artificial intelligence to revolutionize the automobile is proof that the company's ambitions reach beyond the search engine business.Yet Goole did not yet have a cheer plan to create a business from the experiments.
Under the current law,a human must be in control of a car at all times,but what does that mean if the hom ant is not really paying attention as the car erosses through a school zone,figuring that the robot is driving more safely than he would?And in the event of an accident,who would be liable-the person behind the wheel or the maker of the software?

71.The purpose of the author writing the passage isB.
A.to persuade Americans to buy driverless cars
B.to introduce a new application of artificial intelligence
C.to inform us of the latest development in the Internet
D.to show Google is an ambitious high-tech company
72.The engineers believe driverless cars will bring great benefits exceptC.
A.the fewer car accidents
B.the greater capacity of roads
C.more seats in vehicles
D.less fuel consumption
73.What is most important to make sure driverless cars are absolutely safe?A
A.More reliable corrupters.
B.Special road systems.
C.Good driving habits.
D.New laws on driving.
74.From passage we can learn that GoogleD.
A.has decided to expand its business into the car business.
B.has set a clear schedule to make profit from the business
C.cares little about the influence made by the new program
D.will completely change the way people drive cars
75.What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph of the passage?C
A.The driverless cars will be forbidden in school zones.
B.The Google researchers neglect the related legal issuers.
C.The Google's technology is ahead of the law in many areas.
D.Drivers will not be responsible for the accident in future.
14.I walk into a room and wonder who's going to talk to me.Unavoidably,I fall into a self-conscious moment.
I'm waiting for my daughters to finish a gymnastics class,and I look around the waiting room.The lively chatter of mothers all around me makes me feel terribly alone.I don't belong in this group; I'm an outsider to the world of little girls trying to finish their homework before the coach calls them in.
Nobody is paying attention to me!
Sulking in pity,I overhear a little girl ask her mother the difference between a homophone and a homonym.
My specialty!I can't resist such questions.I have to assist.For the next 5minutes,I find myself helping a 4th grader think of words that sound the same but are spelled differently (homophone) and words that sound the same and are spelled the same but mean different things (homonym).
You can't help somebody else and also think about how neglected you feel.It's a strange phenomenon.It doesn't matter that I'm supremely out of place here.I'm serving somebody,and then,everything feels right.And in a powerful turn of events,the mother who once seemed so cliquish and perfect starts telling me about her life.Over homophones,I'm learning about a lifetime of heartbreak.
Each of those mothers might have their own story of loss.The room isn't what it seems; it's nothing like it sounds.Beneath the clique and chatter,there's somebody who needs attention.
Perhaps when I feel most alone,most forgotten,I need to look up,find a way to help and bless (even if it's through homophones),and stop focusing on myself.I want to enter a room,take my eyes off of myself,and find the one who needs help.

69.What does the author want to do the time she enters the waiting room?B
A.She wants to ask who would like to talk to her.
B.She wants to be accepted among people already there.
C.She wants to get her daughter back home for dinner.
D.She wants to have a talk with the gymnastic coach of her daughter
70.According to the paragraph 5the prefix (前缀)"homo"probably meansB
A.different.  B.same.  C.sound.  D.meaning.
71.Which statement of below is not true according to the passage?D
A.You are not the only one who feels helpless.
B.Don't concentrate too much on yourself when you feel nervous.
C.Find someone to help and then you may feel better.
D.The world is not what you make it,but what you see and hear.
