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．

Dear Mr．Green，
I'm very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine together．That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that．
Some of the columns that you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea．"Cultural Express"give us a better understanding of the world．Since people from different part of the world have different values，it's necessary to learn from each another．Apart from that，"Blurt Out"is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English．"Entertainment"is also cool!The popular singers，actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can't miss this part．Teenagers are to fond of popular things，too．

Body language is means of unspoken communication，which people use to express his feelings．Body language is different based on each culture．For example，not all cultures greet each other by the same way．Shake hands is the most popular way to greet each other while people meet．However，in some western country people exchange greetings by kissing．Some people prefer to stand quite closely while others would like keep more physical distance from each other．Since there are so much differences between people in body language，so we have to learn something to avoid misunderstanding．
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．

61．Which is probably the best title for thistext？D
A．A lucky critic．   
B．The best restaurant
C．A magic review． 
D．A legendary restaurant
62．Why does the author refer to elBulli in Spain in Paragraph 2？B

B．Tough and greedy．
C．Terrible and unknown．  
D．Poor and hopeless．
64．Which of the following about Rao's is true？C
A．If yoh want to get a reservation in Rao's，you'd have to phone ahead of time．
B．Rao's history is much longer than that of elBulli in Spain．
C．It's hard fo dine in Rao's partly because it has a limited number of tables．

A．Rao's menus are specially designed for its regular diners

12．We find that bright children are rarely   held back  by mixed-ability teaching．On the contrary，both their knowledge and experience are enriched．We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils．It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates．It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child．After all，it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides，it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability．This is only one aspect of their total personality．We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full，not just their academic ability．We also value personal qualities and social skills，and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning．
In our classrooms，we work in various ways．The pupils often work in groups：This gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate，to share，and to develop leadership skills．They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think，to make decisions，to analyze and evaluate，and to communicate effectively．The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher．
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs； sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments，and they can do this at their own speed．They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate．We encourage our pupils to use the library，and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently．An advanced pupil can do advanced work：it does not matter what age the child is．We expect our pupils to do their best，not their least，and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal．

63．By"held back"（the underlined part of the first sentence） the author means"B"．

C．personal qualities                 D．communicative skills
65．Which of the following is NOT Mentioned in the third paragraph？B
A．Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities．
B．Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities．
C．Pupils learn to work together with others．
D．Pupils learn to be good organizers．
66．The author's purpose of writing this passage is toC
A．offer advice on the proper use of the library
B．recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities
C．argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class
D．emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching．
19．The British aren't having as many children as they used to．One reason is that people are having children much older than before，meaning they have fewer years in which they can have them．After years at university，they need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want．They might then get married，but it's incredibly expensive to buy a house in the UK．
The above explains why young British people now don't move out of their parents'home until they are around 30years old on average．It is not until they are 30that they can afford their own home．Increasingly，it is not until that age that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home．It's only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child．
So a British person manages to get a job，get a home and get married．Why isn't he or she then having at least two children on average？The main reason is that it is quite expensive to bring up a child in the UK．Why is it expensive？Well，these days，both parents need to work just to pay for their home and living expenses．Because both parents are at work，that means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day．Paying for this childcare is nearly always expensive．
The recent financial crisis is making things even harder for families，since unemployment is rising and even fewer people can afford to have children．With so much pressure on families，is it any surprise that the divorce rate is so high？
So what is Britain doing to try and save the British family？The government is trying to make it cheaper to have children．For example，there have been increases in money families can claim from the state each month．Also，there are increasing government subsidies for nursery schools，so that parents do not need to pay so much for child care．
The government is also trying to reduce the number of hours British parents have to work to earn enough money to pay their bills．If parents didn't have to work so many hours，they'd have more time to spend with their children and wouldn't need to spend so much on childcare．On average，a Briton works 49hours a week，which is the most in Europe．The state is now considering introducing laws to encourage companies to improve their employees'work-life balance．Let's hope they're not too late to save the British family．Otherwise，the British will always be too tired，and won't have enough time and money，to have children．

10．"There is an out-of-date idea that children grow up and leave home when they're 18，and the truth is far from that，"says Mr．Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin．Today unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents．"There is a great change in the middle class，"declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University，whose son，19，moved back in after an absence of eight months．
       Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest．The marriage age is rising，a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people．A high divorce （离婚） rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences．For some，the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools．Even after graduation，young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs．
       Living at home，says Knighton，a school teacher，continues to give security （安全保卫） and moral（道义的） support．Her mother agreed．"Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent．It makes sense for kids to stay at home．"But sharing the family home requires changes for all．There are the hassles over bathrooms，telephones and privacy．Some families，however，manage the careful balancing act．But for others，it proves too difficult．Michelle Del Turco，24，has been home three times and left three times．"What I considered a social drink，my dad considered an alcohol （酒精） problem，"she explains．"He never liked anyone I dated，so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses．"
       Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on？Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake．Children，can end up with a sense of defeat and failure．And aging parents，who should be enjoying some freedom，find themselves stuck with too many things．Many agree that brief visits，however，can work well．
52．According to the author，there was once a trend in the U．S．A．
A．for young adults to leave their parents and live separately
B．for middle class young adults to stay with their parents
C．for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence
D．for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents
53．Which of the following does not lead to young adults returning to the nest？B
A．Young adults find housing costs too high．
B．Young adults are not old enough．
C．Young adults look for parental comfort and support．
D．Quite a number of young adults attend local schools．
54．The underlined word"hassles"in the passage probably meansD．
A．agreements                                            
B．worries
C．disadvantages                                        
D．quarrels
55．According to the passage what is the best for both parents and children？C
A．They should share the family expenses．
B．Children should leave their parents when they are grown up．
C．Adult children should live away from their parents and visit their parents from time to time．
D．Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble．
56．One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to slay with their parents is thatA
