The Tropical Paradise Holiday
Welcome to St Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America. You can spend two weeks in our luxury fourstar hotel. The cost of your flight is included in the holiday, and you can be picked up from your home by our special airport bus. On your arriving, our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel. All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.
The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront, and many rooms have wonderful ocean views. If swimming and surfing are not enough for you, the hotel also offers horse rides on the island, and a discount membership of the golf club.
The Rain Forest Adventure Holiday
Every year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest. You may have a choice of Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.
You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest, where you will be given five days of survival training, and talks on the local wildlife.
Then you take a bus into the forest. You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology. All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.
Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness, and they are not suitable for families with young children. Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time, so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays, you will need to book early!

People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high
tech company Google has a number of selfdriving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.
In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality — the driverless car.” The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.
Cars have become much more fuelefficient, and new electronic features are
making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America.
“A camera on the passengerside mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes.” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars.
These systems help drivers,
but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.
“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident，” Kendall said. He said,
“Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first.”
Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.
1.According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown ________.
A.is for the idea of having driverless cars
B.sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless system
C.has already bought a new autonomous car
D.thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state
2.What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.They can help cars run much faster.
B.They can take the place of drivers now.
C.They can make cars run without fuel.
D.They can help people drive more safely.
3.In Kendall's opinion, who probably don't rely on the driverless cars at first?
A.Managers in the high tech company Google.
B.Officers from the U. S. government agency DARPA.
C.Car consumers.
D.Vehicle designers.
4.According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?
A.They need to have more comfortable seats.
B.They are now too expensive for consumers.
C.They are travelling at a low speed.
D.They are not favored by car racers.
1．解析：选A 细节理解题根据第二段“California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state.”加利福尼亚州长Jerry Brown签署了允许这种自动(无人驾驶的)汽车在本州行驶的法令由此可见Jerry Brown是支持这个想法的故选A解析：选D 细节理解题文章第三段主要描述这种无人驾驶汽车的安全性能故选D解析：选C 推理判断题根据倒数第二段“Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first.”可知Kendall认为消费者可能不愿意失去(对车子)的控制可能要花一段时间才能意识到这项技术的可靠性但是这项技术首先要证明自己(是可靠的)由此可推断出汽车的消费者在一开始可能不信任这项技术故选C解析：选B 推理判断题根据文章最后一段“Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable.”可知Mason认为这项技术现在面临的最大的挑战就是把无人驾驶汽车的高成本降低到可以承担得起的程度由此我们能判断出现在的价格是偏高的故选BC
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
1. What is an unpunctual person like?
A. He always does a thing when it should be done.
B. He is always very busy.
C. He always does a thing at the wrong time.
D. He always keeps the appointments.
2. Why is unpunctuality very harmful?
A. Because it makes a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B. Because it makes a man lose friends.
C. Because it makes a man work quickly.
D. Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
3. According to the passage, which is right?
A. The punctual person has no much work to do.
B. The unpunctual person is very rich. (from www.nmet168.com)
C. The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D. The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
4. According to the passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party?
A. Arriving at the appointed time.
B. Arriving before all other guests.
C. Arriving after all other guests.
D. Keeping all other guests waiting.
5. Why is a person always unpunctual?
A. He is too busy.

C. He does care much about time.
D. He doesn’t manage his time properly.

You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how：

A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

How is everything going now? You've been away for more than one month, and we all miss you very much.
I'm writing here to ask you for some help. I once told you that I dreamed of studying abroad after graduating from high school. Recently, I have been preparing to apply to an American university,
which troubles me a lot. With a lot of factors to take into consideration, I hesitate over how to choose a suitable university. What's more, in the process of preparing required materials, I have difficulty in writing a personal statement. Could you give me some suggestions about them? Besides, would you please write a recommendation letter for me?
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
