He had rented a cottage in the country, although he seldom spe
2、nt much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle
3、 had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncles exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when the
4、re was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.It sounds as if the roof has fallen in! cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of
5、dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncles stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured
6、,perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kin
7、d of adventure he cared for either!1.Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?A.Because he was used to living abroad.B.Because there was no furniture in it.C.Because the cottage was in bad condition.D.Because the roof of the cottage was falling.2.When they opened the bedroom d

9、pent more time with his uncleD.he had a lucky escapeB Mrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical school and I owe her a lot.She was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that she was thin, perhaps in her mid 70s. It might s
10、eem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had a valid reason Mrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about three years before I made a patient of her. Mrs. Jones was the dead body that I dissected (解剖) over the first two years of my medical training.Of course, her name
11、 wasnt really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting research into someones body without even knowing its name, so out of courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs. Jones, weve got a thing going on.” went the song coming out of the radio as I unzipped the bag of her
12、on my first day and so she was christened (命名).As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though, she suddenly became very human again. Id been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the uterus (子宫). After Id removed it, the pro
13、fessor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, youll see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably three.” I stared at it, and I suddenly felt very strange. This woman, who had given me something incredibly precious that Id begun to take for granted, w
14、asnt a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about Mrs. Jones to him, and recalled what hed told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago.“Well,” he said, “at the be
15、ginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person. Now youre a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook my hand and walked away.4.What does the underlined word “negligent” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Irresponsible.
16、B.Pitiful.C.Regretful.D.Miserable.5.How did Mrs. Jones get her name?A.She was named after the authors favorite singer.B.It came from a song being played during their first meet.C.It was passed down from the seniors of the authors school.D.It just occurred to the author when he opened the bag of her.
17、6.What could be the authors feeling for Mrs Jones Now?A.Indifferent.B.Ashamed.C.Grateful.D.Guilty.7.What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph?A.Medical students are able to bring the dead back to life.B.Good doctors never fail to save their patients from dying.C.Medical staff o
18、ught to have respect for life and humanity.D.Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.C This month, Germanys transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles. They would define the drivers role in such cars and govern how such cars per
19、form in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses propert
20、y damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel to check email, say the cars maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic dr
21、iving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the Uni
22、versity of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say driverless cars, people e
23、xpect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know no driver.”Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford Unive
24、rsity, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here
25、,” says Calo.8.What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A place where cars often break down.B.A case where passing a law is impossible.C.An area where no driving is permitted.D.A situation where drivers role is not clear.9.The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to _ .A.stop p
26、eople from breaking traffic rulesB.help promote fully automatic drivingC.protect drivers of all ages and racesD.prevent serious property damage10.What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A.It should get the attention of insurance companies.B.It should be the main concern of law ma
27、kers.C.It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D.It should involve no human responsibility.11.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B.Fully Automatic Cars: A New BreakthroughC.Autonomous Vehicles: Driver Removed!D.Driverless Cars: Root of Road Accide
28、ntsD I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary: combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents (住户) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In t
29、he afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended f
30、amily, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. Its a major problem in many societies.Thats why inter-ge
31、neration (代际的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young vo
32、lunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be pa
33、ired with a teenager who wants to study law.But it isnt only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the str
34、engths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old wont be so sad after all.12.Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read?A. To argue for a new concept.B. To introduce the topic of the text.C. To show his interest in the topic.D. To draw our attention to a social probl

The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity.15.What may be the best title for the text?A. Being old is no more sad.B. Offer a warm home for the yo
