　　Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

　　Directions: In this section, there are four; passages, each of which is followed by, five questions or

　　unfinished. sentences. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding litter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage1

　　Each year, 1.3 million people worldwide die in car accidents. Ninety-four percent of those crashes are due to human error. This is a tragedy that self-driving vehicles can help prevent.That's because computers can think better and react earlier than people.

　　As soon as we can show that a self-driving car can drive more safely than a human, we )should expect to see many more such vehicles picking up passengers across the country-and eventually around the world.

　　Self-driving cars will also help speed up the shift toward increased ride sharing and reduced car ownership. Many people already use ride-sharing services instead of owning their own cars. Self-driving vehicles are a great ft for ride sharing because machines have the potential to find the best routes for getting people destinations more safely and faster than human drivers.

　　A future where more of us use ride sharing as our primary mode of transportation means we'll need fewer cars overall, which comes with key benefits, including reduced road congestion and less time wasted in traffic. Fewer cars also means less pollution and fewer parking spaces.That would make room for more parks, bike lanes, and businesses.

　　Real-world testing is critical to getting this technology ready for nationwide use. That's why | some companies are testing self-driving cars in Pittsburgh, pennsyIvania, and Tempe, Arizona. Both cities have welcomed this technology with open arms.

　　A better future is within reach. We already have the technology. While it won't happen overnight, self-driving cars will be an important part of the future of transportation.

　　31. According to the author, self-driving can reduce car crashes because self-driving cars____.

　　A. can think

　　B. know directions

　　C. are controlled by computers

　　D. can avoid some human errors

　　32.Why can we expect more car sharing with the development of self-driving cars?

　　A. Because machines know the destinations better.

　　B. Because many people prefer ride-sharing services.

　　D. Because people can get to their destinations more safely and faster.

　　33. The underlined phrase“road congestion”in Para.4 refers to____

　　34. What is the attitude of Pittsburgh and Tempe towards self-driving cars?

　　Passage 3

　　Does stress, anger, or sadness drive you to eat? Do you turn to food for comfort, or when you're bored? Many people do. If you often eat for emotional reasons instead of because you're physically hungry, that can be a problem.

　　Obeying the urge to eat more than you need is certain to gain weight. It's an even bigger problem if you already have health conditions like high blood pressure.

　　You can get back in control of your emotional eating. The surprising part is, it's not really about food at all. The solution to emotional eating is less about eating than it is about emotions. You can start with a simple step.“Make a list of what is stressing you, and make a plan to take control of the situation,"New York psychologist Patricia Farrell says. If you can change the situation, go for it. If the problem is out of your control, you can manage the way you think about it. If you can notice your stress in the moment, you can choose how you respond, rather than reacting the way you have in the past. It helps to add a delay between the urge to eat and the actual eating. That gives you time to check in with how you' re feeling and why you want to eat.

　　When you get the urge to eat a cookie out of sadness or boredom, remember that you have the choice to wait it out.“Tell yourself to have, it later," Farrell says. Even if it doesn't, successfully delaying the snack helps you feel more in control.In addition, consider talking with a doctor so you can better understand what's going on with you and the best way to handle it.

　　C.He will have Heath problems

　　D.He will fail to control his emotions.

　　43. What is the solution to emotional eating according to Patricia Farrell?

　　A. Finding out the sources of stress.

　　B. Thinking about why a person wants to eat.

　　C. Keeping the emotional problem under control.

　　D. Reacting in the way as a person did in the past.

　　44. What is the main purpose of this passage?

　　Passge4

　　A new study shows that plants are creating frequencies in responses to their surroundings, or in other words, they are reacting. These“reactions" in plants, which we could see as analogical to ) human senses, is actually nothing new. We have learned over the past few years that plants are capable of, seeing, hearing, and smelling.

　　And with this newest finding we are just one sense away from completing the five human senses in some plants. For the first time, plants have been recorded making airbome sounds when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers! Is ten for water starved crops .

　　The researchers found that tomato and tobacco plants made sounds at frequencies humans cannot hear when facing situations such as lack of water or when being cut.

　　On average, drought stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds per hour, while tobacco plants made 11 and unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour.

　　The researchers trained a machine-learning model to tell difference between the plant's sounds and the wind, rain, and other surrounding noises of the greenhouse, in order to correctly identify the source of stress. Results showed that drought stressed plants make significantly more sounds than control plants.

　　Humans cannot hear the whole range of frequencies around us. If we could, we would likely become absent-minded and anxious by always hearing the frequencies around us including radio frequencies from cell towers near us or even cooking a frozen meal in the microwave. Thankfully, the range of human hearing is typically considered to be only 20Hz to humans are not sensitive to the sounds that plants are making.

　　46. What is the newest finding about plants?

　　A. Plants can see.

　　B. Plants can hear.

　　C. Plants can smell.

　　D. Plants can speak.

　　B. They will make more sounds when drought-stressed.

　　C. They will produce annoying sound in different situations.

　　D. They will make different sound frequencies in different situations.

　　49.what is he best title often is passage?

　　A. Stress of Plants

　　B. Five Senses of Plants

　　C. Noises in Greenhouse

　　D.1 Sound Frequencies of Plants
