I enter to get out of peeling potatoes for our Thanksgiving dinner at home.‎ The program this year took place last week as usual. Everything went along well in the morning. Lucky made a Mayflower and I made a Turkey.‎ However, when we got back after lunch, something unexpected happened. The mainsail of his Mayflower was lying on the table in a puddle of water. I glanced at my Turkey I had made. It had barely begun to melt!‎ ‎“What happened?” I asked. “Did you bump the table when you left?”‎ ‎“No! I just have rotten luck,” he wailed(哀叹), for the rest of the ship he had made began to melt too. “This can’t be just a case of bad luck,” I said, looking around for something that could have caused ‎ the destruction.‎ ‎“Something must have happened,” I said. Lucky’s eyes widened. “You think someone did this on purpose?”‎ I shrugged. “Maybe. It makes more sense than bad luck.”‎ Lucky peered around the room. “Hey,” he whispered. “That kid never left the room for the snack break. Maybe he smashed my Mayflower!”‎ I frowned. “I don’t know, Lucky. He doesn’t really seem the type.”‎ ‎“Haven’t you heard the saying ‘Looks can be deceiving’?” Lucky said, his voice rising. “He probably broke my ship while everyone was gone!”‎ I stared at the ruined Mayflower and shook my head. “It doesn’t look broken, though. It looks more…disintegrated(使分解). Lucky, don’t jump to any--”‎ ‎“I’m telling on that kid!” Lucky interrupted. He charged off, his face as red as cranberry sauce.‎ ‎“...conclusions,” I said. With a sigh, I turned to the shipwreck and placed the melting mainsail back in its original spot. I held it there, thinking, until my fingers turned as cold as the ice. “Yeowch!” I said, dropping the mainsail and sticking my frozen fingers into my mouth.‎ It was in that instant that the puzzle was solved.‎ ‎21．Why does the writer take part in the “Ice Sculpting for Kids” program?‎ A. He wants to beat Lucky to win the prize B. He hates to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day C. He wants to avoid working on Thanksgiving Day D.

Never judge a book by its cover C. A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit D. Do as you would be done by ‎24．What will the following paragraphs probably be about?‎ A. The punishment for the kid B.

If you invite me for tea, I will seize the opportunity and enjoy a cup. But it seems nobody else has time like me.‎ When did people become so busy? Sometimes I think it happened when shopping, instead of being a necessity or occasional pleasure, became a form of entertainment. At other times I blame it on the computer, with honorary mention given to “smart” phones, for creating appetites (欲望) that can never be satisfied, no matter how long we stare at the movable feast on the screen, no matter how fast we type with our fingers.‎ It wasn’t always like this.‎ Sundays used to be days of rest, with closed stores and empty highways. And then there were the holidays, which were set aside for family time rather than a trip to the mall.‎ But now, I have grown accustomed to the predictability of the answer when I run into a friend or ‎ acquaintance and ask, “How are you?” The answer always is “Busy!”‎ Recently I spotted an old friend and I called out to him. He stopped to acknowledge me, but I could tell from his, body language and the checking of his watch that I had disturbed him. “I see you’re in a hurry,” I said. “Why don’t we get together to catch up?” ‎ ‎“I should have a free hour in June,” he said before continuing on his way.‎ ‎“But this is March!” I remarked.‎ ‎“Check with me in a few months,” he yelled over his shoulder. “I’ m very busy!”‎ Maybe not getting used to the busy life is my problem, but I agree with what Socrates once said: “Beware (当心) the barrenness (空洞) of a busy life.” Or Robert Frost’s poem? “I Could Give All to Time.” More recently there has been a so-called Slow Movement, which advocates a cultural change toward slowing down life’s pace. I haven’t decided whether to join it or not because I fear that, like any organization, it would cost me too much time.‎ In any case, come June. I'll have a friend to catch up with. That is, if he still has the time to see me.‎ ‎29．The first paragraph of the text is used to______.‎ A. provide background information of the topic B. attract readers’ attention to the topic C. show readers the value of time D. introduce the author to readers ‎30．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?‎ A. Shopping. B. Pleasure.‎ C. The fact that people have so much to do. D. The fact that the author saves lots of time.‎ ‎31．How does the author show people are very busy?‎ A. By making assumptions. B. By providing an example.‎ C. By listing well-known sayings. D. By presenting a predictable trend.‎ ‎32．What can we infer from the text?‎ A. The author will be too busy to meet his friend in June.‎ B. The author is good at computers and smart phones.‎ C. The author is willing to join the Slow Movement.‎ D. The author misses the lifestyle of the old days.‎ The ride-sharing company Uber has removed its self-driving cars from the streets of San Francisco, California. The action came after a dispute between Uber and state ‎ officials over whether the vehicles needed special permits to operate.‎ Uber recently launched testing of its self-driving service in San Francisco. But shortly after the launch, California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) told the company to stop the self-driving vehicles. State officials said the Uber cars needed the same special permit given to about 20 other companies testing self-driving technology in California.‎ But Uber refused to obey and kept its cars on the road in San Francisco. The company, which operates a transportation network around the world, is based in San Francisco. Uber argued that its technology does not make vehicles fully autonomous, and so the special permit was not needed. It added that all of Uber’s self-driving cars have a driver sitting in the passenger seat to take over if needed.‎ The head of Uber’s self-driving technology, Anthony Levandowski, explained the company’s position in a blog post. He said the self-driving Uber vehicles do use high-technology tools to assist drivers. But, they are not fully autonomous and require a driver to be at the controls at all times.‎ He compared the technology to solar carmaker Tesla’s advanced driver assist tools. Telsa’s Autopilot system allows its cars to steer in a lane, change lanes, and speed up or slow down based on nearby traffic. The company tells drivers that, when using Autopilot, they should still always be ready to take control of the vehicle.‎ Vehicles equipped with these high-tech driver assist tools do not need a special permit to operate in California.‎ ‎“It’s hard to understand why the DMV would seek to require self-driving Ubers to get permits when it accepts that Tesla’s autopilot technology does not need them,” Levandowski wrote. “We asked for clarification as to specifically what is different about our tech from the DMV, but have not received it.”‎ Uber and state officials were not able to come to an agreement on the issue. On Wednesday, the DMV said it had canceled the registration of Uber’s 16 self-driving cars in San Francisco. All U.S. vehicles driven on the road require state registration.‎ In September, Uber got its first U.S. approval to test self-driving vehicles in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Uber continues to test the cars and give people the chance to ‎ experience the technology.‎ San Francisco’s mayor, Ed Lee, praised the DMV for stopping Uber’s self-driving vehicles. He said he supports self-driving development and testing. “But only under conditions that put human, bicyclists’ and pedestrian safety first.”‎ There were several reports of unsafe incidents involving Uber’s self-driving vehicles in San Francisco. Most involved witnesses claiming they saw Uber vehicles not stopping for red lights.‎ Video of one incident was posted online that appeared to show a self-driving Uber car passing through a red light. Another person posted a photo of what she said was an Uber self-driving car in the road that did not stop for a red traffic light.‎ In response, Uber said the video of the incident showed why its cars always require close attention from a human driver — and therefore do not need a state permit.‎ Uber announced it would send the self-driving vehicles to the neighboring state of Arizona to begin a new test project there. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey reportedly said the state welcomed the cars with open arms and wide open roads.‎ ‎33．What can be learnt about Uber?‎ A. It is located in San Francisco. B. It ranks 20 in the car industry.‎ C. It seldom obeys federal laws. D. It has got the special permit.‎ ‎34．Why does Uber refuse to obey the order?‎ A. It is confident about its products. B. Its cars are not fully autonomous.‎ C. It has told the driver to take over. D. It has yet to apply high-tech tools.‎ ‎35．What’s Doug Ducey’s attitude towards Uber’s self-driving vehicles?‎ A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.‎ ‎36．What the implied meaning of the underlined sentence in the last Para.?‎ A. Arizona has wide open roads.‎ B. Arizona will develop self-driving cars.‎ C. Arizona is against the ban together with Uber.‎ D. Arizona warmly welcomes the new technology.‎ 三、完形填空 A little turtle once climbed a tree.
