Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s easy to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, and the store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. “If anything,” he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft, safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed, either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
4. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits________.
A. promised to obey the store rules B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later D. could not afford anything more expensive
5. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A. kind and lucky B. poor and lonely
C. friendly and helpful D. wise and disappointed
6. The writer followed the store rules because________.
A. he wanted to keep his present job B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old gentleman dishonest D. he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman
7. What does the writer learn from his experience?
A. Wealth is more important than anything else. B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. Experience is better gained through practice. D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B

A company testing driverless cars has received permission from the state of California to operate the vehicles without human drivers. The tests will be carried out by Cruise, the self-driving car company owned by General Motors.
Cruise reported last week that it got a permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to let the self-driving cars travel on their own. The company plans to have them operating in San Francisco by the end of this year. Cruise is still just testing its self-driving vehicles. But it plans to offer ride-sharing services in major cities across the United States in the future.
Until now, testing has only been carved out with human backup drivers in all Cruise vehicles. Rules required the backup drivers to be inside the cars and ready to take control of the vehicles if necessary. Cruise has completed enough testing to feel that it is now ready to safely operate the cars without humans, said company spokesman Ray Wert. Wert said that Cruise would go neighborhood-by-neighborhood in San Francisco before spreading the driverless car to the whole city.
The permission in California followed a similar decision in Arizona. Arizona state officials approved a request by Waymo, a company owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc., to open its ride-sharing service to the public in vehicles without human drivers. The service was launched last week in the city of Phoenix. Progress toward driverless vehicles slowed after one such vehicle hit a passer-by during a test in Tempe, Arizona, in 2018. That vehicle was operated by Uber Technologies.
Steven Shladover is a research engineer at the University of California, Berkeley. He has studied self-driving for 40 years. Shladover said that although Cruise and Waymo program their vehicles to drive more conservatively than humans, both still need to progress safely. He noted that Cruise will first use its vehicles in easier areas in San Francisco before sending them into complex traffic situations.
8. What has Cruise done until now?
A. It has done driverless car testing in other states.
B. It has helped other companies test their self-driving cars.
C. It has completed some testing with human drivers.
D. It has offered ride-sharing services using self-driving cars.
9. What caused the testing of self-driving cars to slow down?
A. Taxi drivers’ fear of losing their jobs.
B. The high cost of doing it in big cities.
C. An accident caused by a self-driving vehicle.
D. The small number of companies taking part in it.
10. Which of the following does Steven Shladover agree with?
A. Self-driving vehicles shouldn’t go without safety.
B. Self-driving vehicles drive less carefully than humans.
C. Self-driving vehicles can’t get into complex traffic situations.
D. Companies should program their vehicles to drive faster.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. California Allows Company to Test Cars with No Drivers
B. Two Companies’ Self-Driving Tests Get Approved
C. Self-Driving or Human-Driving, Which Should We Depend on?
D. Cruise or Waymo, Which Is Leading the Self-Driving Technology?
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了Cruise公司收到加利福尼亚州允许其进行无人类备用司机在车内的自动驾驶实验的消息。文章附带介绍了无人驾驶方面的进度、相关公司和相关研究者们的观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Until now, testing has only been carved out with human backup drivers in all Cruise vehicles. Rules required the backup drivers to be inside the cars and ready to take control of the vehicles if necessary.(到目前为止,测试仅在Cruise车辆有人类后备司机的情况下进行。规定要求后备司机必须待在车内,并随时准备在必要时控制车辆)”可知,到目前为止,Cruise已经在有人类司机的情况下完成了一些测试。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Progress toward driverless vehicles slowed after one such vehicle hit a passer-by during a test in Tempe, Arizona, in 2018. (2018年,在亚利桑那州坦佩市进行的无人驾驶汽车测试中,一辆无人驾驶汽车撞上了一名路人,之后无人驾驶汽车的研发进程放缓)”可知,自动驾驶汽车引起的事故导致自动驾驶汽车的测试减速。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Shladover said that although Cruise and Waymo program their vehicles to drive more conservatively than humans, both still need to progress safely.( Shladover表示,尽管Cruise和Waymo对他们的汽车进行了比人类驾驶更保守的编程,但它们仍然需要安全行驶)”可知,Steven Shladover认为自动驾驶汽车不应该没有安全保障。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A company testing driverless cars has received permission from the state of California to operate the vehicles without human drivers.(一家测试无人驾驶汽车的公司获得了加利福尼亚州的许可,可以在无人驾驶的情况下操作车辆)”结合文章主要报道了Cruise公司收到加利福尼亚州允许其进行无人类备用司机在车内的自动驾驶实验的消息。并附带介绍了无人驾驶方面的进度、相关公司和相关研究者们的观点。故A选项“加州允许公司在无人驾驶的情况下测试汽车”最符合文章标题。故选A。

My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of the areas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.
The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.
When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.
12. What can we infer about Jessie?
A. She is a tour advisor.
B. She is a tour guide.
C. She is a foreign traveler.
D. She is a skilled driver.
13. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?
A. In spring. B. In summer.
C. In autumn. D. In winter.
14. What did the writer think of his tour?
A. Adventurous. B. Disappointing.
C. Satisfactory. D. Improvable.
15. What is the probable title for the text?
A. A Wonderful Tour Day with Jessie
B. An Extraordinary Tour Company
C. The Great Wall an Excellent Attraction
D. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable Guide
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A

【16题详解】
根据上文“Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and for good reason. They can help you out in just about every area of your life, whether it’s keeping fit, communicating with friends, or even learning a language.(如今,应用程序正变得越来越流行,这是有原因的。他们可以在你生活的方方面面帮助你,无论是保持健康,与朋友交流,甚至是学习一门语言)”以及后文“Here's what you should think about before downloading an app for language learning.(以下是你在下载一款语言学习应用程序之前应该考虑的事情)”可知,上文提到了应用程序的好处,后文则提到在下载之前应该考虑一些事情,故本句与上文构成转折,说明需要知道如何正确使用应用程序才能真正受益。G选项中them指代上文Apps。故G选项“然而,你需要知道如何正确地使用它们才能真正受益”符合语境,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources of information, from newspaper and books to TV, radio, music and even real people. Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native language?(任何一个经验丰富的语言学习者都会告诉你,掌握一门外语的美妙之处在于它为你打开的世界。这是一个信息来源多样的世界,从报纸、书籍到电视、广播、音乐,甚至是真实的人。在你的母语中,你会把自己限制在一种媒介上吗)”可知,上文提到了学习语言有各种不同的媒体可供选择,且上文提出了一个反问句“你会把自己限制在一种媒体上吗?”,本句位于本段最后一句,应当承接上文回答这一问题,故E选“也许并不会,那么为什么不在你的新语言学习中也这么做呢?”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training? The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable.(你是想在几周内流利地说英语,还是想参加大脑训练?好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表)”以及后文“These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.(这些应用程序鼓励养成习惯,因为成功养成习惯可以确保你的安全定期回归)”可知,上文提到好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表,即好的应用程序可以自我调整,来适应使用者的习惯,F选项中the best apps对应后文中These apps。故F选项“最好的应用程序会根据你的行为进行自我调整”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据小标题“Make it social(使其具有社交性)”以及后文“I mean social for real.(我的意思是现实意义上的社交)”可知,后文提到了“使其具有社交性”真实的意义,可知本句应当是在说明与后文意思相反的情况,C选项中I don’t mean与后文I mean相对应。故C选项“不,我不是说在网上公布你的进展”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“If I may speak sincerely, the combination of app, language school, Jim, evening out, and a choice book or two proved extremely effective.(坦率地说,app、language school、Jim、evening out和一两本精选书的结合证明是非常有效的)”可知,上文提到了一种有效的方法,言下之意,作者推荐这种做法,A选项中it指代上文the combination of。A选项“我推荐”符合语境,故选A。

A rich couple who planned to hold a big New Year party at their house went shopping at the market where everything was expensive and at a fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After buying all they needed, they called a porter (搬运工) to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were worn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter asked for just $20, quite below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The port er was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such persona ,but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to find out and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to ask about the old port er and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? These are our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”

【答案】参考范文:
When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back. The port er replied, “Madam, please calm down. I’m not a thief. That poor old man was sick since last month. He couldn’t earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’ Madam, he was poor and hungry, but he was an honest man. I was just on the way to completing the old man’s last delivery to your home.”
Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes. The wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eyes. Suddenly she rushed to the market. Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand. She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves. At last, the port er took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter.

Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s easy to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, and the store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. “If anything,” he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft, safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed, either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
4. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits________.
A. promised to obey the store rules B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later D. could not afford anything more expensive
5. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A kind and lucky B. poor and lonely
C. friendly and helpful D. wise and disappointed
6. The writer followed the store rules because________.
A. he wanted to keep his present job B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old gentleman dishonest D. he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman
7. What does the writer learn from his experience?
A. Wealth is more important than anything else. B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. Experience is better gained through practice. D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
C
A company testing driverless cars has received permission from the state of California to operate the vehicles without human drivers. The tests will be carried out by Cruise, the self-driving car company owned by General Motors.
Cruise reported last week that it got a permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to let the self-driving cars travel on their own. The company plans to have them operating in San Francisco by the end of this year. Cruise is still just testing its self-driving vehicles. But it plans to offer ride-sharing services in major cities across the United States in the future.
Until now, testing has only been carved out with human backup drivers in all Cruise vehicles. Rules required the backup drivers to be inside the cars and ready to take control of the vehicles if necessary. Cruise has completed enough testing to feel that it is now ready to safely operate the cars without humans, said company spokesman Ray Wert. Wert said that Cruise would go neighborhood-by-neighborhood in San Francisco before spreading the driverless car to the whole city.
The permission in California followed a similar decision in Arizona. Arizona state officials approved a request by Waymo, a company owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc., to open its ride-sharing service to the public in vehicles without human drivers. The service was launched last week in the city of Phoenix. Progress toward driverless vehicles slowed after one such vehicle hit a passer-by during a test in Tempe, Arizona, in 2018. That vehicle was operated by Uber Technologies.
Steven Shladover is a research engineer at the University of California, Berkeley. He has studied self-driving for 40 years. Shladover said that although Cruise and Waymo program their vehicles to drive more conservatively than humans, both still need to progress safely. He noted that Cruise will first use its vehicles in easier areas in San Francisco before sending them into complex traffic situations.
8. What has Cruise done until now?
A. It has done driverless car testing in other states.
B. It has helped other companies test their self-driving cars.
C. It has completed some testing with human drivers.
D. It has offered ride-sharing services using self-driving cars.
9. What caused the testing of self-driving cars to slow down?
A. Taxi drivers’ fear of losing their jobs.
B. The high cost of doing it in big cities.
C. An accident caused by a self-driving vehicle.
D. The small number of companies taking part in it.
10. Which of the following does Steven Shladover agree with?
A. Self-driving vehicles shouldn’t go without safety.
B. Self-driving vehicles drive less carefully than humans.
C. Self-driving vehicles can’t get into complex traffic situations.
D. Companies should program their vehicles to drive faster.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. California Allows Company to Test Cars with No Drivers
B. Two Companies’ Self-Driving Tests Get Approved
C. Self-Driving or Human-Driving, Which Should We Depend on?
D. Cruise or Waymo, Which Is Leading the Self-Driving Technology?
D
My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of the areas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.
The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.
When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.
12. What can we infer about Jessie?
A. She is a tour advisor.
B. She is a tour guide.
C. She is a foreign traveler.
D. She is a skilled driver.
13. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?
A. In spring. B. In summer.
C. In autumn. D. In winter.
14. What did the writer think of his tour?
A Adventurous. B. Disappointing.
C. Satisfactory. D. Improvable.
15. What is the probable title for the text?
A. A Wonderful Tour Day with Jessie
B. An Extraordinary Tour Company
C. The Great Wall, an Excellent Attraction
D. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable Guide

A rich couple who planned to hold a big New Year party at their house went shopping at the market where everything was expensive and at a fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After buying all they needed, they called a porter (搬运工) to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were worn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter asked for just $20, quite below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The port er was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such persona ,but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to find out and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to ask about the old port er and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? These are our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
