The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue,Washington,generally don't
flash the same length of green twice in a row,especially at rush hour.At 9:30am,the full
red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds.By 9:33am,a burst of additional traffic
might push it to 145 seconds.Less traffic at 9:37am could push it down to 135.Just like the
命
traffic itself,the timing of the signals changes.
That is by design.Bellevue,a fast-growing city just east of Seattle,uses a system that
is gaining popularity around the US:intersection(十字路口)signals that can adjust in real
time to traffic conditions.These lights,known as adaptive signals,have led to significant
declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.
"Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being
的
addressed,"says Alex Stevanovic,a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.
For all of Bellevue's success,adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways.
别
Kevin Balke,a research engineer at the Texas A&.M University Transportation Institute,
says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities,others are so
jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a
有
meaningful difference."It's not going to fix everything,but adaptive signals have some
benefits for smaller cities,"he says.
In Bellevue,the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming
new approaches.In the past,there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic:just
widen the roads,says Mark Poch,the Bellevue Transportation Department's traffic
engineering manager.Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run
smarter instead of just making them bigger.
1.What does the underlined word "that"in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Increased length of green lights.
B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C.Flexible timing of traffic signals.
D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.
6-1
2.What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?
A.They work better on broad roads.
B.They should be used in other cities.
C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.
D.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.
3.What can we learn from Bellevue's success?
A.It is rewarding to try new things.
B.The old methods still work today.
C.It pays to put theory into practice.
D.The simplest way is the best way.

The story of Sindhutai Sapkal is the story of rebirth and the love of children who
nobody else wanted.The 68-year-old woman has raised over 1,400 orphans ()offering
them not just food and shelter,but also the love of a real family.Her amazing work has
earned her over 750 awards and the nickname "Mother of Orphans".
Sindhutai Sapkal's work was inspired by her own hardships when growing up.Born
into a poor family,she had to abandon her education at age 9,and was married to a 20-
year-old man when she was just 10 years old.Ten years later,when she was expecting a
baby,she was thrown out of the house by her husband,and because everyone,even her
family,turned her away,she had to give birth in a cow house.
To support herself and her newborn daughter,Sapkal had to beg and sing at train
stations for food.It was during these difficult times that she met many other abandoned
youths who were struggling just like she was.She would share her food with them and
provide as much care as she could.Some of them started following her around,and that,
she says,is how her large family started to form without her even realizing.
Over the last 40 years,Sindhutai Sapkal has traveled to countless villages,giving
speeches until her throat was dry,trying to collect donations to provide a better life for her
adopted children.She managed to build four orphanages,where many abandoned children
have grown into respectable members of society.She makes it her duty to keep the kids on
the right path in life and offer them the love and care of a real family.
"I was raised believing that blood relations don't really mean much.For me,my
understanding of a home was based on what I had seen-my mother and her large family,
Sindhutai's daughter,Mamata,says."After completing my degrees,I have been working
with Mai (mother)."
4.What inspired Sindhutai Sapkal to start her work?
A.Over 750 awards given.
B.Her poor education.
C.Many homeless children.
D.Her life experiences.
6-2
5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Sindhutai Sapkal's work has a great influence on her daughter.
B.Mamata thinks blood relations don't really mean much in a family.
C.Mamata's based her understanding of a home on adopted children.
D.Sindhutai Sapkal was satisfied with what she got from her life.
6.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Sapkal's social status as Mother of Orphans.
B.Sapkal's contribution to abandoned children.
C.Sapkal's wish to build shelters for children.
D.Sapkal's effort to collect money for the poor.
7.Which of the following can be used to describe Sindhutai Sapkal?
A.Cruel.
B.Serious.
C.Caring.
D.Strict.

It's 2035.You have a job,a family and you're about 40 years old!Welcome to your
future life.
Getting ready for work,you pause in front of the mirror."Turn red,"you say.Your
shirt changes from sky blue to deep red..Tiny preprogrammed electronics(智能电子元件)

"Ready for your trip to space?"you ask your son and daughter.In 2015 only specially
trained astronauts went into space-and very few of them.Today anyone can go to space
for day trips or longer vacations.Your best friend even works in space.Handing your
children three strawberries each,you add,"The doctor says you need these for space
travel.”Thanks to medical advances,.vaccination shots(防疫针)are a thing of the past..
Ordinary foods contain special vaccines.With the strawberries in their mouths,the kids
head for the front door.
It's time for you to go to work.Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the
doors."My office.Autopilot,"you command.Your car drives itself down the road and
moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper.The
latest news downloads and fills the viewer.Looking through the pages,you watch the news
as video film rather than read it.

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to
travel there without going through a travel agency.You know,you would be submerged
in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more
closely.We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive(印象深刻的).We look
forward to going there again!Of course,we spent lots of time arranging (the trip,
but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was
especially anxious about my visa,but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa (without an invitation.In the Italian
consulate(领事馆),one must hand in some official papers proving that one has a hotel
booked for oneself in order to get the visa.Then we had to solve the ticket problem.
Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance.The next step was to
book a hotel.We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the heart of Rome and it
was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome.Our big house,which was
surrounded by the forest,was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence,beautiful views,
hospitable hosts,comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end.Besides this,we were very
lucky that our mistress was a Russian.She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use.She told us
what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.It's not difficult!The only thing I'll
say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.We walked with a map and a
guidebook to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the
way just two or three times.So,if you're also planning a "single"trip,don't forget to take a
Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
6-4
12.Why does the author want to go to Italy again?
A.Because he had a great time there.
B.Because Italy has a lot of attractions.

you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems.

It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my son who is
five years old,Tennyson.As we were leaving after finishing our shopping,we realized that
only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on
the ground badly.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the
woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Fortunately,a lot of people stopped to
help out.
While we were walking towards the scene,Tennyson became very worried about
what had happened to the elderly couple.He said to me,"Mom,it's not much fun falling
over in front of everyone.Seeing that there was a flower stall (at the front of the
supermarket,he added,"Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower?It will make her feel
better."I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea.So we went over and told the
flower seller what we wanted."Just take it,"she replied."I can't take your money for
such a wonderful deed.
By now medical staff had arrived,and were looking after the injured woman.There we
saw the old man was also in great horror,but he tried to comfort his wife and held her
hands tightly to encourage her to be strong.We gave the flower to the woman's husband
and I told him it was from my son.At that moment,the old man started crying and said,
"Thank you very much."He then turned to me,"You have a wonderful son.Happy
Mother's Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.
Regardless of being badly hurt,the old lady looked up at Tennyson with love in her eyes
and gave him a little smile.And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and tenderly
said,“Happy Mother's Day to you,too.”

After a moment,the elderly lady was taken into an ambulance,
