【题目】 THE LIFE CYCLE

When you plant a seed, does it stay a seed forever? No! Plants and animals grow and change lives.

Many plants begin as seeds. As the seed gets what it needs(water, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil),it begins to grow. The seed turns into a little. It keeps growing until it is a full-grown plant. Then the plant makes new seeds, so that new plants can grow even after the plant grows old and dies. Those seeds will then go through their growth process（过程）.Because seeds go through this process over and over again, it is called a life cycle.

Animals also have life cycles. A frog begins as an egg. When the egg hatches, it turns into a tadpole. The tadpoles grow legs and arms, and finally grow into adult frogs. The adult frogs lay eggs, so that new frogs can live even after the frog grows old and dies.A dog's life cycle is a little different than a frog's, because a dog does not start out as an egg. It is born from its mother's belly. The puppy keeps growing and is finally an adult dog. Then the adult dog might have puppies to continue the life cycle!

Insects like caterpillars go through life cycles, too. Caterpillars begin as eggs. When they hatch, they are larvae. The caterpillar becomes a pupa, and inside of the pupa it turns into an adult. The adult is not a caterpillar; it is a butterfly! Then the butterfly lays eggs, so that new caterpillars and butterflies can live even after the butterfly grows old and dies.Plants and animals don't stay the same throughout their lives, they grow and change through their life cycle.

【2】Which of the following lay eggs?

A.Tadpoles.B.Puppies.C.Butterflies.D.Caterpillars.

【3】Where's a butterfly when it turns into an adult?

A.In the water.B.Inside of the pupa.C.In the soil.D.In its mother's belly.

【题目】

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there-they just need to see if they're value for money ,work out insurance（保险）issues, and run final tests to check they can run alongside human-driven cars on the road.

So how do they work? The cars have sensors all around which can detect other cars and obstacles in the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the outside of the road or other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras and satellite navigation systems are used so the car knows how to get to your destination. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and processes this to work out when to speed up, brake and go.

Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while 'driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers are generally more efficient drivers than humans. They would also drive more safely than people-they are not influenced by music or friends, they would obey the speed limit and they have quicker reaction times in case of an emergency.

However, there are many disadvantages of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（伦理学的）decisions ; if a child ran into the road , would the computer choose to hit the child or change the direction immediately and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun-I'd miss never being behind the wheel myself. There would also be many legal decisions to be made-should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?

Although being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driving licence, saving money for everyone, many people would be put out of a job when driverless cars appear. Bus, taxi and train drivers as well as driving instructors would be made unnecessary.

I'm not convinced I'd want a driverless car-but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and commonplace on our roads.

【1】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A.How driverless cars work.B.How a central computer system runs.

C.Ways in which the sensors help driverless cars.D.The helpful system that driverless cars have.

【2】What can we know from the passage?

A.The writer is eager to have a driverless car.

B.Some problems won't be solved in the future.

C.Engineers are active in improving driverless cars.

D.More factors should be considered before driverless cars go on roads.

【3】The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means “___”

A.possiblyB.successfullyC.especiallyD.naturally

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Driverless Cars: Are You Ready for Them?B.Driverless Cars: Are They Your Favorite?

C.Driverless Cars: A Model of New TechnologyD.Driverless Cars: Just Enjoy Them

【题目】任务型阅读-简答

Which type of Christmas songs are the bestThere are so many different parts to the Christmas period: jumpers, shopping, Christmas markets, decorations, songs. Without them, Christmas just wouldn't feel right. My personal favourite part of the festive period is the songs. There are traditional songs, such as Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Ding Dong Merrily on High and Good King Wenceslas, which you would normally hear in church.

Then there are the pop songs from throughout the years. Some of them have been recorded and re-recorded too many times to count.

In fact, almost every year people argue about which versions（版本）of certain Christmas songs are better. Eartha Kitt or Kylie Minogue's version of Santa Baby? What about Michael Bublé vs Frank Sinatra and their versions of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas? The list goes on and on.

The most famous Christmas songs are undoubtedly the ones with a pleasant melody, talking about being home for Christmas or how much they love Christmas. All of them are easy to remember. Have a listen to Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea orI Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day by Wizzard. Some songs highlight how much we want to be with the people we love at this time of year, such as Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley, Lonely This Christmas by Mud or Leona Lewis' One More Sleep. The mainstream songs are the ones you'll hear in shops as you do your Christmas shopping or in restaurants all over Britain.

The Christmas songs that I love to listen to are the ones that don't really make much sense. Sometimes they take you back to childhood when you wouldn't be laughed at for asking Santa for a giraffe. And the rest are just silly for the sake of it. My favourite silly Christmas songs are I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmasby Kacey Musgraves, Never Do a Tango With an Eskimo by Alma Cogan and Proper Crimbo by Bo Selecta.

The absolute best Christmas song is definitely Fairytale of New York by The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl. It's not really Christmas until you've listened to that.

【3】Do people argue about which versions of certain Christmas songs are better almost every year?

【4】What does the writer mainly talk about in the fourth paragraph?

【5】Why does the writer love the songs that don't really make much sense?
