【题目】 Harry is a vehicle called a pod—in other words, something like a car. But Harry has no steering wheel or brake pedal. Harry does not even have a driver. Yet Harry is carrying passengers around London for the next few weeks.

Harry is part of an experiment called GATEway that is testing how people react to driverless vehicles. The name GATEway is short for Greenwich Automated Transport Environment. The experiment aims to help cities prepare for the future of transportation. The GATEway experiment does not test new technology. Instead, it tests the way existing technology can work in society.

The pod operates in an area of London called Greenwich, home of time and navigation museums. Other places where pods will be tested are Coventry, Milton, Keynes and Bristol. The pods run using sensors and a 3D map of the area. A safety operator rides along to take control in case of an emergency.

GATEway is intended to see how pedestrians and cyclists may adapt to driverless vehicles. Harry holds up to four people (three passengers and a safety operator) and can travel at speeds up to 16km/h. It is being tested in Greenwich on pedestrian paths, but not on roads with other vehicles.

If you are in Greenwich during the next few weeks you may see Harry, but you cannot ride in it during the trial. Over 5,000 people applied to be a passenger in Harry but only about 100 were chosen.

You can, however, ride in a similar pod at Heathrow Airport in London. The Heathrow pods run on tracks so they are not being tested with pedestrians, cyclists or other drivers. If the trials are successful, the first pods could be operational on the roads of the UK in 2020.

1What’s the purpose of the GATEway?

A.To settle traffic problems in cities.

B.To test a new transportation technology.

C.To prepare cities for future transportation.

D.To draw people’s interest in transportation.

2What will happen if Harry meets with dangerous situation?

A.The passengers will help.

B.It will deal with it by itself.

C.An accident will take place.

D.A human driver will take it over.

3Why is Harry running on the sidewalk?

A.To test the response of people walking or on a bike.

B.To avoid disturbing other vehicles on the street.

C.To prevent it from running at a high speed.

D.To watch pedestrians and cyclists go safely.

4What’s people’s attitude towards Harry?

A.Fearful.B.Positive.

C.Doubtful.D.Grateful.

【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the given worlds to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Having nothing to write about is, perhaps, the greatest fear of a student about to begin an essay for an IELTS or TOEFL test. However, critical thinking isn’t such a difficult skill to master. In fact, many of you will have already used this valuable skill in your life.

Suppose one of your friends recommends a movie by saying ,“It’s a really wonderful movie and definitely worth 1 (watch).”,Instead of simply taking the recommendation, you may ask the question“Why is it wonderful?”By doing this you are thinking critically. A more professional term to define this process 2 (call) identifying ambiguity, which is regarded as the key stage in thinking critically.

Let’s look at following examples from IELTS Writing Task.

Detailed description of crimes on newspaper and TV have consequence for society, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement.

To think critically, the fist thing 3 (consider) isn’t whether you agree or not. You should instead try to clarify the words “detailed description of crimes” by asking yourself 4 these details might be. Then you should come up with a list like this :

1.Investigating the target victim before the crime

2.Measures to avoid 5 (track)by the police

3.Bloody crime scenes.....

After that ,it won’t be hard for us to groups these details, leading eventually to two paragraphs: some disclosure of information may allow people to protect themselves from crime. However,it is not appropriate for many other details 6 (release)to the general public.

Practice identifying ambiguity when you write the essay.Your work will definitely leave a good impression on your teachers.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

A Workaholic Economy

Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure seems reserved largely for the unemployed and underemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War Ⅱ. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970. Bookstores now abound with manuals describing how to manage time and cope with stress.

There are mainly two reasons for lost leisure.

Since 1970, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. A host of factors pushes employers to hire fewer workers for more hours and, at the same time, compels workers to spend more time on the job. Most of those incentives(诱因) involve the structure of compensation(报酬). The way salaries and benefits are organized makes it more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job. Once people are on salary, their cost to a firm is the same whether they spend 35 hours a week in the office or 70. Therefore, it is more profitable for employers to work their existing employees harder.

For all that employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure. “People who work reduced hours pay a huge penalty in career terms,” Bailyn of Massachusetts Institute of Technology maintains. “It’s taken as a negative signal about their commitment to the firm.” He adds that many corporate managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their employees to a firm’s well-being, so they estimate staff productivity in terms of hours worked. Employees know this, and they adjust their behavior accordingly.
