It was August and it was hot. I had to wear a tie to do a survey door by door in this neighbourhood, but I was always refused. I finally caught on and began with “Before you close the door, I am not selling anything and I just need to ask a few questions about yourself and the community”.‎ The young woman inside the doorway stopped for a moment, confused by my rude introduction and finally said, “Sure. Come on in. Don’t mind the mess. It’s hard to keep up with my kids.”‎ ‎“I just need to ask a few questions about yourself and your family. Although this may sound personal, I won’t need to use your names. This information will be used.” She interrupted me. “Would you like a glass of cold water? You look like you’ve had a rough day.” “Why yes!” I said gratefully. Just as she returned with the water, a man came walking in the front door. It was her husband. “Joe, this man is here to do a survey.” I stood and politely ‎ introduced myself.‎ ‎“Joe works for the town,” she said. “What do you do?” I asked. She jumped right in not letting him answer. “Joe collects garbage. You know I’m so proud of him.”‎ There was a silence. I didn’t know what to say. I shook my head searching for the right words. “That’s unbelievable! Most people would not be satisfied with a job like that. It certainly is a difficult one. But your attitude about it is amazing.” I said.‎ She walked over to the shelf. As she returned she held a small framed（装裱）paper, walking toward Joe. “I have always been proud of him and always will be. You see I don’t think the job makes the man, but the man makes the job!” she said as she handed me the paper.‎ It said: If a man is called to be a cleaner, he should clean streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, “Here lived a great cleaner who did his job well.”‎ ‎4. Why did the author change his introduction?‎ A. To relieve his stress.‎ B. To look for some water.‎ C. To do his survey smoothly.‎ D. To know about the bad situation.‎ ‎5. What can we learn about the young woman?‎ A. She finds a good job in the city.‎ B. She has a great talent for argument.‎ C. She doesn’t live a life as she dreams.‎ D. She has a positive attitude towards Joe’s job.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from Paragraph 6?‎ A. The Young woman will be with Joe forever.‎ B. The Young woman is proud of her job.‎ C. Any job can be done better by heart.‎ D. Any job can change a person.‎ ‎7. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A Beneficial Experience of Survey B. The Pleasure from Jobs C. AA Great Street Cleaner D. The Power of Labor C Science is always advancing over time. A self-driving car from the Google may be coming to a street near you. However, you won’t be able to buy it now. “We’re working to build the world’s most experienced driver,” Kraft, director of the project, said. “Everything that we learn in one of our cars gets passed to all of our cars. But you may need to get over the idea of traditional car ownership along the way.”‎ Google’s software has already driven 5 million miles in U.S. cities, including an “early rider” test in Phoenix last April. Since then Google has grown confident enough to remove the “auxiliary wheel”: a human “safety driver”. Powering the vehicle’s self-driving functions is a series of cameras, radars and sensors on the car’s roof, which detect everything nearby from other vehicles and passers-by to cyclists.‎ Kraft stressed that Google’s cars aren’t connected—they don’t need a 5G wireless link to go anywhere. “The car has everything it needs to drive on the car itself.” He said, “There are no signals coming from outer space or something telling it to turn right.” The resulting ride may not be too exciting but safe. Kraft added. “We can see three football fields down the road, we would come to a stop before we ran into these crowds.”‎ Google’s system has a major advantage over the semi-autonomous（半自主的）systems of Tesla and Cadillac, both of which need continued human attention. Kraft said Google plans to have service in every major city by 2028 with thousands of cars driving themselves.‎ ‎8. What does the underlined words “auxiliary wheels” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. A car that is very old.‎ B. A driver who has been trained well.‎ C. A part of a car used to sound the alarm.‎ D. A condition where a driver doesn’t know his role.‎ ‎9. Why is Google’s car thought to be safe in the text?‎ A. Because it can get away from danger easily.‎ B. Because it is equipped with 5G wireless link.‎ C. Because it can stop before the crowds occasionally.‎ D. Because it can keep a safe distance from everything nearby.‎ ‎10. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Google’s software has not been tested.‎ B. Google’s cars have not been put into the market.‎ C. Driving the Google’s car may not be too exciting.‎ D. Google’s cars still need driver’s attention all the way.‎ ‎11. What does the author think of the Google’s car?‎ A. It’s affordable.‎ B. It’s still a theory.‎ C. It has a bright future.‎ D. It’s the most advanced by now.‎ D Are you using a dating App to make friends? How do you know that Ben from London is really 25-year-old? Is his photo taken recently? Is his name even Ben? Dating apps can be tricky to operate, particularly when you’re trying to know whether someone is trustworthy, but one thing you can’t cheat is your gene, which is why a new dating app is using DNA as a basis for its match.‎ A dating app named Pheramor requires all users to hand in a cheek sample, from which a team of in-house scientists using a specially-created tool can queue the specific genes connected with attraction and then identify which users might be suitable. The process works by separating the 11 genes that link to our pheromones（信息素）, the chemical signals that are believed to control; one’s attraction. Combining this data with the personal information allows the app to make very specific matches.‎ ‎“Pheramor uses both your biology and your social technology: we collect your genetic data through a cheek sample and collect your like, dislikes, and interest from your social media introductions like Facebook, Twitter, etc,” the app’s website explains. “All of them will be used in our specific software, which is designed to learn what you prefer.”‎ The co-founder Brittany Barreto, who has a PHD in genetics added that Pheramor’s technology digs deeper than traditional dating apps, making it almost impossible for people to cheat their way to a date.‎ The Houston-based app is already up and running but hopes to be officially put into market in February with 3,000 members.‎ ‎12. What do we know about the new dating app according to Paragraph 1?‎ A. It can be operated easily by users.‎ B. It can know others’ trustworthiness.‎ C. It can select information on the website.‎ D. It can use DNA to make matches for users.‎ ‎13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ A. What Pheramor is.‎ B. How Pheramor works.‎ C. How scientists deal with the data.‎ D. How the genes are connected with attraction.‎ ‎14. What will be used in Pheramor to learn the users’ preference?‎ A. Attraction and pheromones.‎ B. Pheromones and genetic data.‎ C. Social technology and attraction.‎ D. Genetic data and social media introductions.‎ ‎15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To introduce a safe dating app.‎ B. To explore the future of the app.‎ C. To avoid unreasonable requirements.‎ D. To teach people how to design apps.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Effective Time Management Tips from Students College years are something that many people remember mostly, like parties, meeting life-long friends and romantic adventures.
