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     1     these cars, and the technology is there.

So how do they work? The cars have sensors (传感器) all around which can find other cars and     2     on the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when     3    , so the car knows how far it is from the stone or other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and GPS is used so the car knows where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address!     4    , a central computer system takes in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and work out when to speed up, turn and stop.

Sound     5     your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be     6     with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions where you’re going. In addition, computers are generally better     7     than humans. They would also drive     8     than people — they don’t listen to music or talk with friends, they would follow the speed limit and they have quicker reaction times if something bad happens.

However, there are many downsides of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulty     9     ethical(道德的) decisions; if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and kill the car’s passengers? There would also be many legal decisions to be made — should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by     10    ? Or would there need to be a responsible(有责任的) adult with a driver’s licence in the car at all times?

3 . When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens(屏幕) makes their young faces pretty and lively. That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use iPad in class.

I feel surprised and excited when I get an iPad the first day I get to the school. But it is not free. I spend about $100 renting(租) it for three years.

Every iPad at my school has a special learning system(系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching material like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download(下载) the materials with our iPads.

It makes the classes interesting and efficient(高效). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepared a video. Through the video, we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video，but also see the words at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the city.

We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we submit (提交) our homework.

However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or surf the Internet in class.

I believe the key to use iPads well is to have good self-control (自制), isn’t it?

5 . What if you had the chance to meet with a dead loved one in virtual reality (VR) (虚拟现实)?

Recently, a South Korean video recording a special meeting between a mother and a daughter has touched the hearts of many people. The video is from a TV show called Meeting You.     1     Jang Ji-sung, a mother of four, meets her dead daughter Nayeon in this way. Nayeon is Jang’s third daughter and she died of an illness at the age of seven.

In the video, Jang wears a VR headset (头戴式耳机) and gloves.     2     Jang and the virtual Nayeon meet in a virtual park and have a birthday party. They blow out the candles on the cake and Nayeon makes a wish.     3     Then she goes to sleep. Jang replies “me too” and reaches out to touch Nayeon again as she falls asleep. “Even though it was very short, I was really happy at that time. I think I had the dream I’ve always wanted,” Jang said.

The video has been watched more than 13 million times in a week on YouTube.     4     “My mother passed away two years ago and I wish I could meet her through virtual reality,” said one of the viewers. “When I watch the video, I am full of hope and the world looks better,” another viewer added.

E．It mainly wants to help people meet with their lost family members by VR technology.

6 . When she was 16, Joanne Loewenstern learned that her parents weren’t her birth parents. She was also told that her birth mother was a woman named Lillian Feinsilver and she had died days after giving birth to her in New York. Feeling sad and doubtful, Joanne spent nights crying, wondering what her birth mother had been like. And yet, some part of her believed her mother was still alive. The doubts troubled Joanne for years.

Shelley, Joanne’s daughter-in-law, suggested taking DNA test to find her birth family. That was in 2017, and Joanne was 79 years old. Joanne took the test, and about a year later Shelley received a message from a man named Sam Ciminien, whose genetic report had matched him with Joanne.

Shelley immediately wrote back to Sam, asking whether he knew a Lillian Feinsilver. “Yes,” Sam said, “that’s my mother’s name.” Almost unbelievably, she was alive, at age 100- Joanne had been right all along.

But there were more shocks to come. Sam said that Lillian lived in an assisted-living facility in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Joanne lived in Boca Raton, more than 80 miles away.

The families quickly planned a reunion at the facility. A month later, Joanne found herself sitting across from the mother she had searched for her whole life. Lillian, who has dementia, was silent in a wheelchair.

“I don’t know if she recognizes me,” Joanne said.

Joanne said to Lillian that she’d been told her birth mother had passed away. No expressions on Lillian’s face, Joanne started to cry. At that point Lillian’s eyes brightened. Joanne excitedly began telling Lillian all about her family. Lillian smiled. Then she said the words Joanne had waited more than 60 years to hear: “This is my daughter.”

Joanne learned that over the years, Lillian had repeatedly told her family that she “lost her daughter”. Everyone, including Lillian, believed that the baby had died.

The two women spent that first afternoon together joyfully. “I’m proud,” Joanne said. “This is something wanted to do all my life.”

7 . Remember books? The paper kind. With pages. In the old days before computers, to get information, people read books and newspapers. Students spent hours and hours in the library, looking for information in the old books for homework. Now students can find anything on the internet in seconds. The library was a place where everyone was quiet. Sing along to music? Never! Watch a movie on phone while they are reading? Impossible! But now students can watch videos about their research topic as they write a paper.

Before computers, articles were handwritten. If a student made a mistake, he would throw the paper away and start writing all over again. Now? If a student makes a mistake, he can just remove or cut it. Students type on their computers and edit （编辑）freely. But they should save their writing in time on the computer because it may stop working suddenly. Who wants to lose his hard work forever?

Communication online is easy and fun. While students are writing, they can discuss with friends in another window. Did you think they were chatting （聊天）with someone in the real same room? No! They're chatting with everyone in their own room.

Technology helps us get important information in no time. In areas where bad weather is a problem, we can get warnings from our phone. Our local radio or TV station can give information about where to get help or what to do to keep our family and home safe.

Technology is our friend!

Alex is reading a book about AI, artificial intelligence(人工智能) . He finds the book a little difficult but very interesting. Though the word AI is very popular now, he enjoys reading it very much. He has learned a new idea about AI from the book.

When people ask AI a question,, it answers the question in a very short time. So people may feel that AI can think and answer questions as human beings do. Before Alex read this book, he believed this, too. However, this book says it will never happen. Actually, AI only uses a lot of information to get the best answer. So when it has more information, the answer will be much closer to the perfect one. AI technologies will be clever tools for human beings to use. This book also says almost half of our jobs will be done by AI technologies in the near future.

9 . Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9, 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.

Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.

Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the "urban heat-island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ________. And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.

While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block.

1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ______.

A．how wildlife is protected	B．what to do with a spare roof
C．how to organize a good park	D．what a green roof is like

2. The underlined word "moderate" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to "______".

A．raise

B．control

C．record

D．check

3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?

A．A green roof is alive	B．A green roof stops pollution
C．A common roof is noisy	D．A common roof increases the cost

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The Augustenborg Botanical Garden is the same as any other well-organized park.

B．Green roofs are now getting popular though they are a new invention.

C．It is worth building green roofs because it costs little.

D．Green roofs can help cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

5. The purpose of the passage is to ______.

A．discover the problems with green roofs	B．introduce the change of green roofs
C．describe the advantages of green roots	D．show the amazing beauty of green roofs

10 . What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.

When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to beair traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.

Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with excitingpossibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plasticThey build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companiesalready use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medicalcompanies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.

So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes.Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A．Environmental protection.

B．The world of tomorrow.

C．Advantages of technology.

2. What do we learn from the passage?

A．Some people think technology development may bring new problems

B．3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.

C．The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.

3. What is the correct structure of the passage?(P1=Paragraph1)

A．

B．

C．

4. What does the underlined word"they " refer to?

A．Car companies.

B．3D print.

C．Body parts.

5. We can infer that the writer         about the future life with technology.

A．doesn't care

B．feels hopeful

C．feels disappointed
