I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.‎ ‎“Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello, Karmen. I’m Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.‎ One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn’t turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遗嘱),which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside ‎ and cried sadly.‎ Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply.

Well, they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spots take driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents.‎ Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling with blind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that won the first place and $25,000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition.‎ Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver. There are two kinds of blind spots---on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors, and blind spots at the front of the car as well.‎ When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows ‎ to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enough to hide a car!‎ The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar（柱子）---the material on either side on the windshield（挡风玻璃）that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by this pillar.‎ Alaina's design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car, the one that helps hold up the windshield.‎ She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to a projector above the drivers' head. Then she covered the inside of the pillar in reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar "see through" and removed the blind spot on that side of the car.‎ Alnina's solution is very creative and could be improved by using LCD displays that will make it easier to see during day time as well.‎ ‎8. What can be learned about blind spots during driving?‎ A. They make driving thrilling. B.They call for careful driving. ‎ C. They are many in kinds. D. They can't be get rid of.‎ ‎9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "ingenious" in paragraph 2?‎ A. interesting B. creative C. inspiring D. invisible ‎10. How did Alaina solve the problem?‎ A. By improving the A-pillar. ‎ B. By using a mirror on the outside of the A-pillar.‎ C. By using a camera to capture images. ‎ D. By relying on LCD displays.‎ ‎11. What's the best title for the text?‎ A. A Teen's Creative Solution to Blind Spots B. A Warning About the Road Safety C. An Introduction to Blind Spots D. Scientific Research on Blind Spots D Ever called a movie theater to find out showtime? Or called a customer service center for help? Chances are you didn't speak to a human being. You probably gave commands to an Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) system. These types of systems are efficient money-saving ‎ tools that allow companies to address many customer concerns with minimum human intervention(介入).‎ The technology for such a system has advanced greatly since its appearance in the 1950s. One significant recent achievement is the launching of virtual personal assistants (VPAs) on mobile phones. The most well-known of these is Apple’s iPhone VPA, Siri. If you tell Siri that you want to schedule lunch with a friend, “she” can set the appointment on your phone in seconds. The VPA can also hold a basic “conversation” with a sense of humor. However, it can only be set off when the human user speaks certain key phrases or words.‎ While the potential for communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. Some experts worry about people’s attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people won’t be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven’t been practicing those skills. Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service.‎ Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy. When people use certain speech recognition applications, they leave behind an audio track of their speech. When you ask a VPA for directions, your speech is often sent and saved to a remote server for processing. This digital information may lead to data mining, or the collection of large quantities of personal data.‎ For now, however, the continuing evolution of ASR software is thrilling to behold. Asking for and acquiring information from an automated source has never been easier. Leading companies in the speech recognition world will make human communication with machines as seamless as possible - in other words, just like communicating with another human.‎ ‎12. What can we say about Apple’s Siri?‎ A.It first appeared in the 1950s. ‎ B.It’s a helpful VPA. ‎ C. It’s the most advanced ASR system.‎ D. It has the same sense of humor as humans.‎ ‎13. What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?‎ A. Potential problems with ASR. B.The broad definition of ASR. ‎ C. The fast development of ASR. D. Movements against using ASR.‎ ‎14. What is the author's attitude towards the future of ASR?‎ A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful.‎ ‎15. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Art of Conversation B. The Application of Siri C. Talking to Technology D. VPAs on Mobile Phones 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。‎ Your children are watching you. 16 According to the Health Program, developing healthy habits is an important part for your children. And when it comes to developing healthy habits, parents influence their children more than anyone else.‎ ‎ 17 What happens during those early years can influence children for the rest of their lives. This includes some eating and exercise habits. Children are very careful, even at a young age. Children watch what others do carefully and imitate the behaviors of those closest to them.
