6．The Toyota Prius hybrids adapted by Google's engineers have covered 300，000 miles on the roads of California without a human at the wheel，but with only one accident by a human-controlled car．It's clear that driverless cars are much safer than human-controlled ones．40，000 people are killed every year in road accidents in the US，many of which are caused by human error．Besides，driverless vehicles could make better use of the road and reduce the size of car parks，too．
With technology，a machine can perform a complex task without human involvement This means our thought about what machines can and cannot do needs updating urgently．
However，ignore the beautiful words and think about what Google has done．This isn't just about care．Economists are increasingly puzzled by the fact that the rate of job-creation is much lower than expected and the length of time for which people are unemployed has rocketed to 40 weeks twice as long as that during any previous postwar recovery．Economic theory says that when companies begin to grow or become profitable again，they buy equipment and hire workers．But that isn't happening．Companies are still buying equipment，but they're not employing workers．
So where did the jobs go？Andrew McAfee explains his view in his new book Race Against the Machine．"Advances in self-driving car by Google represent the next wave of job-eliminating technology．Many skills （such as driving） may eventually become worthless，at least in the job market．"
And as for those thinking that driverless cars might appeal to most motorists，there is the uncomfortable fact that the car has peaked．We are driving less year on year．Traffic jams reduce the romance from driving．And young people no longer have the desire to own cars like they used to．
71．According to the first paragraph，driverless vehicles areD
A．faster                           B．lighter
C．smaller                          D．safer
72．The underlined word"updating"in the second paragraph means"B"．
A．abandoning                       B．renewing
C．starting                         D．returning
73．The third paragraph suggests thatA
A．technology doesn't ease the pressure on employment
B．companies gain profit by employing more workers
C．it takes people less time to find a job than before
D．people will see another economic recovery in future
74．What will be the influence of driverless cars according to Andrew McAfee？D
A．The economic recovery is to be sped up．
B．Many companies may make higher profits．
C．Traditional skills will be improved．
D．More people may lose their jobs．
75．The last paragraph tells us that the car industryA．
A．will be given up by young people
B．is lo blame for traffic jams
C．is reaching the highest point
D．will expand in all directions．

13．Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally．Anita Kelly，study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame，recruited 110adults for her study．She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10weeks．Lies included big ones and tiny ones-any false statement-but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth，keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer，etc．The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying．
It turns out that both groups reduced their lying，but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more．"We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies，and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，"said Kelly．
When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks，they experienced，on average，fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints．They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches．They also reported that personal relationships improved．Additionally，participants found themselves being honest about their daily accomplishments，and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task，for example．
"It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，"says psychologist Robert Feldman．"That would be beneficial．I'm a little doubtful that it makes us all healthier，but it may make us healthier in a psychological way．"

72．Which of the following is true according to the text？C．
A．People who tell lies are healthier than those who don't
B．Being honest can help cure sore throats and headache
C．Not all the participants were required to tell the truth
D．Participants involved are asked not to keep secrets
73．The participants of the two groupsC．
A．told as many lies as before
B．were almost equally healthy
C．tended to lie less about their activities
D．experienced tenser personal relationships
74．From Robert Feldman，we can learn thatB．
A．white lies might make people have more complaints
B．honesty is likely to help people become mentally healthier
C．people should not be honest with others but with themselves
D．telling the truth can make people physically and mentally healthy
75．The text is mainly aboutA．
A．the connection between honesty and health
B．research on physical and mental health
C．advice for being an honest person

10．When Americans in the manufacturing sector （制造业） cried out，"The Chinese are coming，"some years ago，they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities．Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17-but this time，it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States．U．S．tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors，who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan，will give a big help to their industry．
"We're very excited，"said Helen N．Marano，Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the U．S．Department of Commerce．Before she talked to Beijing Review on June 17，Marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at Washington Dulles International Airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of Chinese tourists to visit the United States．
The first group consisted of 250 tourists，who left from Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong on June 17，the day when newly appointed Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and U．S．Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．Strategic Economic Dialogue （SED） in Annapolis，Maryland．Each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials．
Coincidence （巧合） could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day．As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U．S．President George W．Bush in 2006，the first Chinese tourist group's arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media．
At the previous SED meeting last December，Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U．S．Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States．Under this agreement，China agreed to give an"approved destination status"to the United States，allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U．S．destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public．
The agreement"is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years，"Paulson said．
But what people in the U．S．tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie．
"I'm getting calls already from people saying things like，‘How do we get to do this？'and‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area？'"Marano told Beijing Review．Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen．

63．When，a few years ago，some Americans shouted"the Chinese are coming"，they
D．
A．were worried that the Chinese language would take the place of English
B．were concerned that the number of the Chinese tourists would be bigger than the locals
C．wanted to warn that the U．S．economy would suffer heavy losses
D．feared that large numbers of Chinese moving into the U．S．would make many Americans jobless
64．Helen N．Marano was excited becauseB．
A．large numbers of Chinese touring the U．S．would tip her and her colleagues
B．the Chinese touring in the U．S．would help improve its industry
C．the Chinese are usually well organized when travelling
D．Wang Qishan and Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U．S．SED
65．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of Chinese to go to the U．S．without the agreement
B．Marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the Chinese were
C．many Americans take a positive attitude toward Chinese tourists
D．about 100 million Americans will travel to China in the next 15 years
66．Which of the following is the best title for this passage？A
A．The Chinese are coming
B．The fourth-round China-U．S．SED
C．More Chinese，more job opportunities
D．How can we attract more Chinese to our area．

11．Reading Oliver James'Affluenza，I thought about what often happens at home． My 12-year-old daughter is in tears．"I have to take a test tomorrow．I don't understand any of it，"she cries out．After shouting and shutting her door，she calms down enough to go through her notes．The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says"OK．I got a nine"．
"Wow，well done!"I say，before she finishes with"But I never get a ten!"
    According to James，this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development，which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money．To test this，I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests．She looked at me as if I was thick．"Well，if I don't get good grades，I won't get into university．Then I probably won't get a good job and I won't be able to afford nice things like a ear and stuff．"
    I was quite surprised，because I don't consider myself a pushy parent．But James suggests showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright．He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model．Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business．
    For me．I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle，recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules，yet I have lived a happy life．What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations，or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality．
    This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind．And he is looking for schools
where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests，something more like Tongjon．Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools．It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea，and indeed in many other school systems around the world．
As the Russian poet Pushkin said，"Inspiration（灵感） is needed in geometry（几何学） just as much as in poetry"，and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them．
62．What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter？D
A．She sets herself a goal too high to reach．
B．She should be more polite to her parents．
C．She is hard-working but not very bright．
D．She takes her grades much too seriously．
63．what dose the underlined word"obsession"in Paragraph 3 mean？D
A．A plan and unavoidable fact
B．A satisfied and very proud state
C．A practical and widely-used way
D．A fixed and often unreasonable idea
64．What can we infer from the passage？B
A．Social skills are as important as high grades．
B．Interest in grades can shake self-confidence．
C．The writer regrets not having studied hard at school．
D．Danish educational system is for very smart students．
65．The writer wants to tell us thatA．
A．learning happily is the key to self-development
B．top marks may be helpful to increase one'S interest
C．tests should be improved to give children inspiration
D．education should meet one's needs for work and money．
