26、Even as Google plans to test its fleet(车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.

"Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people," said Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.

The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator(油门) or brake pedal. "Our software and sensors do all the work," Urmson said. "The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button." The prototypes(雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.

In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness.

Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.

The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerator and brake pedals to allow "safety drivers" to take control if needed.

Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that "can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," Urmson said. "We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle," Urmson said.

【1】The passage informs us that self-driving cars ________.

A．will probably decrease traffic jams

B．have already passed necessary tests

C．have been purchased by some companies

D．will be able to communicate with drivers

【2】According to Chris Urmson, ________.

A．software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars

B．self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans

C．self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly

D．ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars

【3】The underlined word "intersections" in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A．accidents

B．buildings

C．crossings

D．vehicles

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors

B．Self-driving Car Meets New Challenges

C．Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global Popularity

D．Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets

27、   In an ideal world, people would not test medicines on animals. Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time-consuming for people. Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge. That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.

Europe, on the whole, has the world’s most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year. But that is misleading. The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.

Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs. Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models,are now strongly recommended. In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use. At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments. If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day. This practice means wasting time, money, and animals’ lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.

Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives. It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer. Europe’s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.The success of animal experiments should be ensured.

B.A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.

C.Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.

D.Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about animals used in the lab?

A.America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.

B.Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.

C.Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.

D.Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.

【3】Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?

A.Statistical studies.

B.Computer models.

C.DNA planted in animals.

D.Tissue from dead animals.

【4】What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?

A.They are not revealed to the public.

B.They are made into teaching materials.

C.They are collected for future publication.

D.They are not removed from the research topic list.

28、The Complete Guide to Alberta’s Icefields Parkway

Introduction

The 144-mile Icefields Parkway is one of Canada’s most scenic road trip routes(路线) and is a must for visitors to Alberta. It has dozens of viewpoints where you can see glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, forests, and valleys. The parkway starts in Jasper National Park, and travels south to near Lake Louise, in Banff National Park. Most travelers will approach the parkway from Jasper National Park, though. The Icefields Parkway is open throughout the year, but most travelers will prefer to drive it in the warmer months.

Stops to Make Along the Way

Athabasca Falls: Around 30 kilometres south of Jasper, the 75-foot waterfalls are not exceptionally high, but they run with a large amount of water, making them some of the most impressive waterfalls in the Canadian Rockies.

Sunwapta Falls: Fed by the Athabasca Glacier, the Sunwapta Falls are divided into the upper and lower sections. The upper waterfalls are easily accessible, but you need to hike a short distance to get to the lower waterfalls. The lower waterfalls are definitely worth the walk if you want to escape the crowds in the summer. Sunwapta Falls are about 34 miles from Jasper.

Where to Get Supplies

If you’re spreading this road trip over more than one day, stock up on snacks in Jasper or Lake Louise and fill up your tank there, too. There are no major towns between Jasper and Lake Louise. In summer, there are a few places to eat and stay along the way, but prices tend to be high because of the lack of competition and the area’s remoteness.

Want to go there to have fun? Please contact us for more information.

【1】Where will most people begin the Icefields Parkway?

A．In Lake Louise.

B．In Sunwapta.

C．In Jasper National Park.

【2】Which of the following is especially recommended to visitors by the author?

A．The beautiful Athabasca Glacier.

B．The lower sections of Sunwapta Falls.

C．The beautiful Lake Louise.

D．The beautiful town of Jasper.

【3】Why does the author advise tourists to prepare enough snacks?

A．The food in Jasper is very delicious.

B．There are no towns along the way.

C．There are no places to eat along the way.

D．The food is expensive along the way.

29、   With these tips you can finally get a solid night's sleep.

Reserve Your Bed

Get into bed just for sleeping. Avoid working, paying bills, reading, or watching television in bed. If you associate your bed only with sleep, you’ll be more likely to fall asleep.

Watch the Caffeine(咖啡因)

Too much caffeine throughout the day can cause interrupted sleep. Limit yourself to two cups of tea, coffee, or cola, taken at least 6 hours before bedtime.

Tap the Exercise Answer

In a study from Stanford University School of Medicine, a group of 50- to 76-year-olds who had complained of sleep problems began proper exercise for about half an hour four times a week. Compared with a similar group of people who didn’t exercise, the more active group slept an average of one hour more each night, took less time to fall asleep.

Take a Bath

Take a warm bath an hour or two before bed. Your body temperature will slowly drop after you get out of the tub（浴盆）, making you feel tired. Don’t bathe right before bed, however, because it can briefly stimulate you enough to make it hard to fall asleep.

Buy the Right Bed

A bed that’s too soft can cause poor sleep. Replace your mattress(床垫)if it’s more than ten years old, and buy one that’s as firm as you can tolerate but still comfortable.

If 30 minutes go by and you haven’t fallen asleep, don’t lie in bed feeling frustrated. Get up and do something relaxing.

【1】Which of the following is the best choice if one wants to have a good sleep?

A. Drinking as much coffee as possible.

B. Taking a warm bath an hour or two before bed.

C. Watching TV in bed before going to sleep.

【2】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?

A. excited B. tired

C. interested D. encouraged

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Take a bath before sleeping B. The importance of a good sleep

C. Tips for a good sleep D. How to buy the best bed
