27、I was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.

There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.

Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town’ s only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.

Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn.  It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.

【1】At what time was the story set?

A. An early winter morning.

B. A cold winter afternoon.

C. An early summer morning.

D. A windy summer afternoon.

【2】Which of the following words best describe the writer’s impression of the town?

A. Cold and frightening. B. Dirty and crowded.

C. Empty and dead. D. Unusual and unpleasant.

【3】The underlined word “trickling” in the last paragraph probably means ______.

C. flowing slowly in drops  D. appearing slowly

A. He was annoyed at being seen by the writer.

B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.

C. He was probably fast asleep.

D. He was probably murdered.

28、Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies (突发情况)? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes.

To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic? What if such options would likely kill the car’s passengers?

Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a hitch (困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs — even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean Bonnefon is a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics in France. He and his colleagues reported their findings in Science.

“Autonomous cars can completely change transportation”, says study coauthor Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma (道德两难) that could slow its acceptance.

Makers of driverless cars are in a tough spot, Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.

Compromises might be possible, Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society.”

【1】The underlined word “challenge” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．people’s negative attitudes towards self-driving cars

B．how self-driving cars reduce traffic accidents

C．the technical problems that self-driving cars have

D．how self-driving cars handle emergencies

【2】According to the text, online surveys show that ________.

A．self-driving cars’ artificial intelligence needs improvement

B．the busy traffic may be a problem for self-driving cars

C．people are in a moral dilemma about driverless cars

D．self-driving cars should be designed to protect drivers

【3】What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?

A．Regulations are in favour of drivers.

B．Most people dislike self-driving cars now.

C．Self-driving car makers are in a difficult situation.

D．The potential benefits of driverless cars are ignored.

【4】What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-driving cars?

A．Favorable.

B．Doubtful.

C．Critical.

D．Disapproving.

29、First published in 2001，the book Life of Pi written by the Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature.It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after a disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.

Piscine“Pi” Molitor Patel，on whom Life of Pi is based，is a young boy living in Pondicherry，India, where his father owns a zoo.The story starts when Patel's family decide to move to Canada，along with their zoo animals for their new home.

However，because of the bad weather，the ship sinks.Pi along with an orangutan(猩猩)，an injured zebra，a hyena(鬣狗)and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat.Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena.The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena，leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.

In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker，Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat，he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.

The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone.After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pi's story，he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother，a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer.They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.

Twelve years, two months, and 28 days. That’s how long I’ve been 【1】 to the polos and plaid skirts of the uniform. Though most teen girls frown (皱眉) at the 【2】 of uniforms, at my high school, Carondelet High School in California, many students change their uniforms to suit their own style.

Uniform rules have always been 【3】. The restrictions are down to the inch: Gray or plaid skirts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee and only white, blue, black, and gray sneakers or flats are 【4】 . With all these rules, one can’t help but wonder how the typical rebellious teenager can express her 【5】 .

Still, they manage. Senior Michelle Ferrer says she accessorizes by wearing bright colors like green and pink in bracelets, shoe laces, and headbands to stand out and be fashionable. For any stylish Carondelet student, accessories are 【6】.

At Carondelet, one thing’s for sure: The older a student gets, the more she’s 【7】 to bend the rules. Senior Natalia Piwek admits that she often 【8】 her “tights and colorful socks” with “illegal shoes”. If you happen to see a girl with colorful tights or boots running across the hallway, it’s most likely that she’s running from a dean (院长).

In about two months, I will say goodbye to my uniform. I will miss the 【9】 of wearing it. However, I must say, wearing a uniform has taught mean important 【10】 that I will take with me when I go off to college: It doesn’t matter what you wear, but how you wear it.
