26、 Japan is starting to experiment with self-driving buses in rural (乡村的) communities, such as the town of Nishikata, where the elderly are living a hard life because of fewer bus and taxi services as the population ages and becomes smaller.
The advance of the self-driving technology is making cities such as Paris and Singapore experiment with such services, which could prove important in Japan, where populations are not only graying, but becoming smaller, in rural areas.
Japan could start the self-driving services for communities that are far from cities by 2020, if the experiments begun this month prove successful.
The government plans to turn highway rest stops into centers from which to drive the elderly to medical and banking services.
“Smaller towns in Japan are graying even faster than cities, and there are just not enough workers to drive buses and taxis,” said Hiroshi Nakajima of mobile gaming software maker DeNA Co.
In the initial (最初的) experiments, the elderly of Nishikata were sent from a service area to some organizations providing healthcare services.
“I worry about not being able to go out when I’m no longer able to drive,” said one test rider, Shizu Yuzawa, adding that she would be open to using such services.
The test also checked the vehicle’s safety in road conditions, and if those crossing its path would react to the warning it gives.
The ride, at a speed of about 10 kilometers per hour, felt comfortable and safe, said test taker Mieko Shimazaki, 71, but her 72-year-old husband, Susumu, said, “Self-driving cars could be useful in the future, but I’d like to see them go faster, at least at 40 kilometers per hour.”
【1】Why are driverless buses appearing in Nishikata?
A.Nobody there can drive a bus.
B.Its population is aging and falling.
C.People there welcome new things.
D.People there can hardly afford cars.
【2】What does the government plan to do?
A.Provide healthcare services.
B.Train more bus and taxi drivers.
C.Produce more and more driverless cars.
D.Set up centers for picking up passengers.
【3】What was Shizu Yuzawa’s attitude toward the self-driving services?
A.She was uncertain about them.
B.She was doubtful about them.
C.She was in favor of them.
D.She was strongly against them.
【4】Which of the following about self-driving buses did Susumu think could improve?
A.Their speed.
B.Their safety.
C.Their space.
D.Their price.
27、 A loving father lost much weight after being shamed into dieting when he became so fat that he couldn’t play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, weighed 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods.
The dad cut out all the fatty foods that he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weighs 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris had to take long rests just to climb the stairs or walk more than a few yards, saying, “The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for the lost time — we do so much together and it is just great.”
Before switching (转变) to a healthy lifestyle, Chris would have five slices of bread for breakfast as a midmorning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then have a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner, Chris would demolish a chicken curry, and ice cream, and also four pints of beer before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.
Chris said, “At 13, I was 118 kg and I remember a teacher pointing this out to the whole school. From then on I was picked on and bullied (欺负). My weight went up and up. But I now have a newfound freedom. My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact, it’s them that I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight.” Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96 kg.

28、 In 2010, I left the United States for the first time to fly over 9,000 miles to Uganda, a country in recovery from civil war. I was going there to help the local kids learn soccer.
As I played soccer with some kids, the sun burned my skin. I took many breaks to drink from my water bottle before realizing I was the only one who did that. All the energetic children running around never stopped to get water. After looking around, I realized there was NOWHERE for them to get water, and there was no well or water pump in sight.
I asked a man who was traveling with us why the kids didn’t ever stop to drink water. He told me that they would have to walk all the way to the pump in the next village and they didn’t want to miss out on playing soccer with a real ball. The kids seemed happy but it was not fair that to get a drink of water meant they would miss out on such a rare occurrence of playing with an actual soccer ball.
When I got home, I spoke with other people about kids in Uganda. They told me to do something to help them. That sounded like a great idea, but how? I spoke with my friends about helping kids in Uganda. We decided that we could try to solve their most urgent problem—water. And we decided to organize soccer camps to collect money.
It has been three years since our first camp and we have successfully run two more and funded two water filtration (净化) systems as well as 60 water pumps for farmers. We have been able to improve the health of thousands of Ugandans.
【1】Why didn’t the kids drink water while playing soccer?
A.They didn’t feel thirsty at all.
B.They couldn’t get any water nearby.
C.They were forbidden to drink water.
D.They were too poor to afford water.
【2】How did the author probably respond after hearing that man’s explanation?
A.She felt very upset for the kids.
B.She decided to buy water for the kids.
C.She felt satisfied with her own life.
D.She decided to leave right away.
【3】How did the author help the kids in Uganda?
A.She funded them to dig wells.
B.She organized several soccer games.
C.She collected money to buy water equipment.
D.She ran soccer camps to improve their health.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.We can make a difference to others’ life.
B.We should fully enjoy what we have.
C.We should be grateful for what we receive.
D.We can change our lives through hard work.
29、 Move over millennials(千禧一代), here comes Generation Z, today's youngest group.
Born in 1995 or later, a lot of Gen Z-ers are entering into adulthood and will soon join the workforce. People of Generation Z have grown up with the internet. Policy makers, sociologists, as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?
Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. A recent Guardian article says that the average teenager in the UK has at least 150 followers on Instagram and spends around half an hour a day on Snapchat, an image messaging app. “We are the first true digital natives,” Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student and lifestyle blogger. “I can almost create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone at the same time, all from the user-friendly interface(界面) of my iPhone.
The Guardian also notes that young people in the UK are becoming more active in politics. Voting is just one way of making one's voice heard. Most of Generation Z are still too young to vote, says the Guardian. Instead of party politics, they focus more on single-topic issues such as feminism(男女平等)or climate change. And “much of the civil engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures,” according to the newspaper.
【1】The underlined phrase “pin down” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A.set an example to B.have an interest in
C.give an explanation for D.make a decision on
【2】The biggest difference between Generation Z and other generations lies in _________.
A.how connected they are
B.how enthusiastic they are
C.how they communicate with each other
D.how many hours they spend on the Internet
【3】What do Instagram and Snapchat have in common?
A.They are newly-created cellphones
B.They are popular among millennials
C.They are online games invented by teenagers
D.They are applications used by teenagers
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Generation Z have great interest in politics
B.Most Gen Z-ers haven't entered the political field
C.Voting is the only way of making yourself noticed
D.Voting on social media is the same as voting through traditional ways
