14．Your next car might drive itself．"The technology is essentially here，"former US president Barack Obama told reporters．
After years of trials on city streets，driverless cars are now nearing the live phase．Most experts think driverless cars will be on the road by 2020 or before．Yet we have barely begun to think about how they will revolutionize our lives，revamp（改造）our cities and destroy tens of millions of jobs．
Above all，driverless cars will bring us enormous benefits：it is expected that accidents will be reduced by around 90 per cent； pollution and carbon emissions will drop； people will save fortunes by ditching their cars； driverless cars will hardly ever need to park in city centers and cities can therefore convert parking spaces into parks．
On the other hand，driverless cars will bring catastrophe．Over the next 20 years，the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks，taxis and buses will see their jobs decimated．Instead of taxi drivers setting Uber cars on fire，we could see taxi and Uber drivers get together to set driverless cars on fire．Or think of insurers，many of whom now get about half their revenues from automobile insurance．Warren Buffett，who owns the auto insurers Geico，says，"Anything that sharply reduces traffic accidents would be wonderful．But we would not be holding a party．We could almost become an insurer without insurance．"Governments and cities，too，will lose revenues from parking，speeding fines and petrol taxes．
Carmakers are especially scared．Driverless cars might be made by technology companies such as Apple，Baidu and Google．Imagine the impact on Germany，where the automotive sector is the largest industry．There may be a clash ahead mostly between car companies and technology companies．Carmakers want people to keep buying and driving their own cars．By contrast，technology companies will lobby（游说）governments to favour driverless cars．
Dramatic change is coming，but governments have barely begun thinking about it．Obama is a rare politician even to have mentioned driverless cars．Only 6per cent of the biggest US cities have factored them into their long-term planning．Most mayors and transport ministers are preoccupied with next week．

28．The best title for this passage can beB．
A．Driverless Cars，a Controversial Invention
B．Driverless Cars will Greatly Affect the Future
C．Welcome Driverless Cars to Cities
D．Driverless Cars will Arouse Conflicts
29．The words of Warren Buffett mean thatA．
A．driverless cars don't bring good to insurers 
B．driverless cars will promote the insurance industry
C．driverless cars needn't pay for insurance
D．the insurance company shouldn't hold a party
30．From the passage，we can infer thatC．
A．driverless cars will bring more jobs
B．governments will not support driverless cars
C．authorities haven't gotten prepared for the driverless cars
D．driverless cars won't replace traditional cars soon
31．Why are carmakers especially scared？A
A．Because technology companies will produce driverless cars．
B．Because carmakers own advanced technology．
C．Because driverless cars will make drivers out of work．
D．Because driverless car industry has less profit．

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.    

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”    

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.    

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.    

If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.    

When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.    

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.    

Why are we so awkward in lifts?    

“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”    

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.

1.The main purpose of the article is to _____.

A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator

B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride

D. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator

2.According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.

A. turn around and greet one another

B. look around or examine their phone

C. make eye contact with those in the elevator

D. try to keep a distance from other people

3.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

A. judge B. ignore C. put up with D. make the best of
16．It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others．（36）G If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing，then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts．
Don't get in the center of the conflict．
Sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help．Frankly speaking，it is very unwise，because it can make you the main figure of the conflict．（37）D You should focus on your own life issues．
Be kind．
（38）F Life is full of conflicts and disagreements，that's why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them．For example，kindness can lessen the conflict．
Try to be a peacekeeper．
Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts．"（39）A"This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper．Don't worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper； you can gain this skill during life．
Walk off．
When the conflict is gathering pace and you can't manage to control yourself，you should choose to handle the situation in another way．By all means，try to keep yourself away from stress．（40）E You should get away from the situation for a while．

A．The greatest victory is a battle not fought．
B．Conflicts are unavoidable，so try to accept them．
C．Weak people usually desire others to offer help and support．
D．Let other people solve their problems without your presence．
E．It is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent．
F．When someone pushes you to the limit，try to act kindly towards this person．
G．Arguing can either break your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree．
3．In my opinion，classical music is a bit like mushrooms!You don't see the link？Let me explain．When I was younger，I didn't like mushrooms．They had a horrible texture（质地）and no taste at all，and I used to pick them out of every dish in which my mum tired to hide them．But gradually，as I got older，my view changed．I started to enjoy mushrooms-flavoured things like soups and sauces，and eventually I found I could eat mushrooms without grimacing（痛苦的表情）．And now I even quite enjoy them!So my mum's prediction that I would"grow into them"was proved quite correct．
Similarly，I always thought of classical music as this boring genre（类型）that only boring grown-ups liked．Whenever my parents played it in the car，I would count down the minutes until we could change it to my preferred genre：pop．But while at university，I found that calming orchestral music was just the thing for library revision playlists---it had no lyrics to stop me concentrating on my study，and the pieces tended to be very long； perfect for long work sessions!
Recently，my developing relationship with classical music reached a new level when I voluntarily chose to go to a ballet．Admittedly，it was the dancing that originally attracted me，but once there I thoroughly enjoyed the music too．It was The Nutcracker，and I was surprised by just how much of music I recognized!The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy，The Russian Dance，The Waltz of the Flowers-they all sounded familiar．I didn't know how I knew them，I just knew that I did!And I loved them．My parents would be proud．

32．Why did the author first hate eating mushrooms？B
A．The author's mother always cooked them
B．The mushrooms had terrible look and no taste
C．Some mushrooms had bad effects on health
D．Some mushrooms tasted terrible
33．How does the writer connect classical music with mushrooms？A
A．By comparison                 B．By the order of time
C．By telling facts                 D．By imagination
34．What did the author's parents think of classical music？B
A．Uninterested                   B．Favorite
C．Curious                       D．Bored
35．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．The Art and Life
B．The Change of Hobbies
C．Classical Music and Mushrooms!

We all have been told since we were kids that we need at least 8 hours of sleep every night．（36）G．Not many．
Sleep，though，is one of the most important things our bodies need to stay healthy．Without the rest that sleep provides，our bodies and minds wear down to the point where not only do we lose our work efficiency，but lack of sleep can even make us sick．（37）A．

If you need more hours in the day to get your work done，try to make a choice between waking up extra early and then going to bed on time，or staying up later but then also getting up later．Some people do better and are more productive when they stay up late．（39）DDo some tests on yourself to see which option works better on you．

A．If you are struggling to get the sleep you need，here are some suggestions for you．
B．So it's vital to have enough sleep for us．
C．Turn sleep into a habit．
D．Others feel better and have more energy when they wake up early．
E．The more hours we sleep，the more energy we will have．
F．This will not provide you with a restful sleep．
G．However，how many of us actually get that many hours of sleep？
