But Monday's accident highlighted (凸显) the possible challenges ahead for the promising technology as the cars face real-world situations involving real people.‎ ‎"This catastrophic accident highlights why we need to be exceptionally cautious when testing and applying autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads," said Edward Markey, a member of the transportation committee, in a statement. "Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking her bicycle outside the crosswalk on a four-lane road in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe at about 10 p.m. MST Sunday when she was struck by the Uber vehicle traveling at about 65 kilometers per hour," police said. The car was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel. U.S. federal safety officials were sending teams to investigate the crash. Canada's transportation ministry in Ontario, where Uber conducts are being tested, also said it was reviewing the accident.‎ ‎"Uber and Waymo on Friday urged Congress to pass a law to speed the introduction of ‎ self-driving cars into the united states. However, some congressional (国会) representatives have blocked the legislation over safety concerns, and Monday's death could hamper passage of the bill, "congressional assistants said Monday.‎ ‎24. According to the passage, which is the effect of the accident of the woman's being killed?‎ A. People will be cautious while crossing a road.‎ B. The woman's family will obtain a billion dollars.‎ C. The process of transforming transportation will be affected.‎ D. Self-driving vehicles will cut down on motor vehicles deaths.‎ ‎25. The underlined word "hamper" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean _______.‎ A. make B. preventC. start D. accelerate ‎26. We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A. Less than three places are doing tests of its self-driving vehicles now B. The officials of the transportation ministry in Ontario were looking into the crash C. Elaine Herzberg was biking when she was hit by a self-driving car D. We can't be too careful when introducing autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads ‎27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To arouse the public concerns over a self-driving safety.‎ B. To remind car producers to be more careful when testing vehicles technology.‎ C. To advise the Congress to pass a law to speed self-driving cars test in the US.‎ D. To urge the US federal safety regulators to take measures to look into the accident.‎ C Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the 'wash up'. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.‎ At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account - let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.‎ Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called "wash-up" earlier this month -- the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.‎ As the Personal Finance Education Group (PFEG) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending their spending power. PFEG predicts that these young people will "find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their ‎ parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school."‎ The UK has been in the worst financial recession (衰退) for generations. It does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.‎ ‎28. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that _______.‎ A. students have been taught to manage their finances B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract C. the author complains about the school education D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out ‎29. The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _______.‎ A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money B. promote the connection of schools and families C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education ‎30. According to PFEG, _______.‎ A. It's not easy for them to get into financial trouble if the teenagers are taught to manage money B. only half of the 17-ear-old teenagers spend their money as planned C. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids D. it is not easy for people to keep good habits long ‎31. A poll is mentioned to ________.‎ A. show the seriousness of the financial recession B. stress the necessity of the curriculum reform C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal D From Madrid to Buenos Aires to Panama City to Lisbon, President Xi Jinping has tirelessly promoted the building of a community of shared future for mankind, and the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) as a means to achieve that.‎ But all don’t see it that way. While some are quick to see its positive potentials, other countries insist on viewing it skeptically. There have been the usual doubts about the intention behind, although the mysterious threat they speak of is one they seem unable to explain clearly.‎ To some of them, it is a vague assumption that investments from China are potential “debt traps”that call for extreme caution or “threats to national security”. That is why the business combinations involving Chinese companies which would be mutually (相互地) beneficial have ‎ hit the rocks. The Chinese telecommunications technology giant Huawei, for instance, has found the doors to the 5G telecommunications markets of advanced countries closed to it on “national security” grounds. Likewise, the European Union has agreed on a framework regulating foreign ‎ investment (投资), particularly those from China. on the same account.‎ Even as Chinese and Portuguese leaders discuss bilateral (双边的) cooperation under the Belt and Road, there is no lack of concern about “China’s influence”, But existing EU rules do not forbid Lisbon from seeking such a partnership. If Lisbon sees no harm from foreign investment, no outsider is in a position to prevent it from making a choice in its own best interests.‎ Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa has reminded EU decision-makers of his country’s desire for foreign investment, and advised the latter to avoid taking “the path of protectionism”. It was a timely reminder.‎ Faring the challenges in today’s world, China and the countries that have embraced the Belt and Road are convinced it is the way to common development and the world’s lasting peace and stability.‎ ‎32. Some countries that hold a negative attitude towards the Initiative mainly doubt its___________. .‎ A. power B. mystery C. intention D. potential ‎33. What does the underlined part “hit the rocks” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. failed to work out B. become a hit C. made a difference D. fallen into a trap ‎34. It can be learned from the passage that__________. .‎ A. Huawei has caused serious security problems abroad B. the EU will take relatively strict measures on Chinese investment C. the Road and Belt Initiative has gained much popularity for “China’s influence”‎ D. China’s investment in Portugal has been extremely smooth ‎35. What is the author’s attitude towards Portuguese Prime Minister’s advice?‎ A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.‎ 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。‎ Basic first aid is a very valuable skill to have when going on a camping trip.___16___‎ Cuts.
