【题目】 If you’re tired of freestyle walking programs, you may be interested in leaming how to racewalk. Or you want to pick up speed. Or maybe you have a desire for competition. 1, racewalking is a good choice for you.

As you begin to racewalk, it is important to concentrate more on movement than on speed. Speed will come later, as you master the movement skills of racewalking. And you can begin to increase your speed once you feel comfortable with the actions of racewalking. Be sure, however, to increase your speed gradually. 2.

Racewalking can increase your walking exercise. You can experience this in person. Try walking as fast as you can, and youll feel your body eager to jog. 3, you have to keep one foot on the ground at all times. While you are jogging, both feet are off the ground at some point, which allows you to cover more distance with one step. So in order to cover the same distance, you have to take more steps than you would if you were jogging.

4. Before you begin exercising, you need to warm up your body and relax your muscles (肌肉). 5. It is necessary to cool down in the end. If you ignore these steps, you may suffer muscle pain and even injury.

A. No matter what the reason is

B. In order to walk at high speeds

C. The same is true after each exercise

D. Always keep safety in mind when racewalking

E. In order to continue walking and not to break into a jog

【题目】 “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up.

Viennese - born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember from his musical scores that include My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He learned to play the piano with the great masters of Europe and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.

But when he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work. But he never gave up his dream and continued to play the piano and write music. During those years, he could not always afford to make ends meet by playing the piano.

One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience - three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead they dug into their pockets, took out all the money they had, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty-handed. Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.

Whatever you do, try your best. If what you do is worth doing and if you believe that who you are is of value, then you cannot afford to be content with mediocrity (平庸). When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring out the best in yourself and receive the best it can offer in return.

1What can we learn from Roosevelt’s words?

A.It is difficult to do our best.

B.It is important to be successful in life.

C.We should be strict with ourselves.

D.We should face the future with the most dreams.

2What happened to Frederick Loewe after he immigrated to America?

A.He lost his hearing.B.He led a hard life for a while.

C.He enjoyed great success.D.He became a famous pianist.

3Why did the three men pay Frederick?

A.They were supposed to do that.B.They wanted to show their sympathy.

C.They were moved by his performance.D.They wanted to make friends with him.

4Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Practice makes perfect.B.Never give up your dream.

C.It’s never too old to learn.D.Rome was not built in a day.

【题目】 Self-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.

Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations and on all types of roads. However most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks but so are humans.

It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired angry frustrated or drunk. But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to momentrather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.

To a self-driving car a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate(评估) a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.

Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation(航空) shows that as new automated systems are introduced there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.

Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety it's important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After allchoosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.

1What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?

A.Self-driving cars never get tired.B.Statistics are collected differently.

C.Machines can make decisions faster.D.Self-driving cars know the world better.

2What does the underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A.Dangers.B.Self-driving cars.

C.Pedestrians.D.Human-driven cars.

3In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?

A.Driving steadily.B.Climbing steep slopes.

C.Evaluating the cost of loss.D.Making complex decisions.

4Why does the author write this text?

A.To support human-driven cars.

B.To show his doubt about self-driving cars.

C.To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.

D.To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.
