21、Of all my dreams, my least favorite is the one where I’m in a car. It always begins with me driving, but eventually I realize that for some reason I’m sitting in the back seat. I can’t keep the car under control, rushing toward the roadside until, screaming, I wake up.
This is like the passenger experience in Waymo’s self-driving cars. You sit in the back seat of a vehicle and watch as the wheel turns itself above an entirely empty driving seat.
“We made you live your nightmare,” a Waymo staff member joked after I exited one of the company’s fully self-driving car, following a quick drive inside its secret testing site. Waymo, a self-driving car company, arranged these rides for 40 journalists at this site.
There were also some demonstrations (示范). We watched as a Waymo car was cut off by a speeding vehicle. Then the employees created a situation in which a pile of moving boxes fell into the street just as another car passed in the opposite direction. Throughout the day, the cars per- formed impressively, driving with the level of care you might take if you had a wedding cake in the back seat.
During these demonstrations, Waymo gave information about what it was planning to do with these vehicles. The company has laid out four ways that its technology could be made available to the public. But Waymo’s CEO, John Krafcik, wouldn’t show which of these was likely to come to market first, or on what kind of timeline.
I can’t help but admire that Waymo is succeeding in developing this technology. There are countless possibilities at play on the road. The task of programming software to react to all those situations is unimaginably complex. What a great breakthrough!
【1】How did the author feel about her driving experience in her dream?
A．It was thrilling.
B．It was amusing.
C．It was puzzling.
D．It was terrifying.
【2】What might the author be?
A．She’s a reporter.
B．She’s a software engineer.
C．She’s a test driver.
D．She’s a saleswoman in Waymo.
【3】What did the author intend to prove by mentioning the wedding cake?
A．The employees performed well.
B．The self-driving cars worked well.
C．The employees drove with great care.
D．The self-driving cars ran at a steady speed.
【4】What did the author learn about the self-driving technology from the demonstrations?
A．Time to put it on the market.
B．Ways to put it on the market.
C．Future improvement it needs.
D．Programming software it used.
22、Interested in learning a new language but don’t know where to start? Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference.
Rosetta Stone
Price: $ 7.99 per month — $ 199 one-time payment
Number of languages: 28
Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license.
Duolingo
Price: Free — $ 6.99 per month
Number of languages: 36
Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps, and those apps are available for free — which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learn from the very beginning.
Babbel
Price: $ 6.95 per month — $ 12.95 per month
Number of languages: 14
Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment.
Memrise
Price: $ 6.67 per month — $ 119.99 one-time payment (extra 10% off before July)
Number of languages: 16
If you learn best through repetition and flashcards, then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch, but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning.

23、 Could the device, smartphone or PC, which you are using affect the moral (道德的) decisions you make when using it? To test it, researchers presented multiple dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants were assigned a device at random.
One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley (有轨电车) problem”: A runaway trolley is headed towards five people tied up on a set of train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five people, or push a man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one man to save five lives, which 33.5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users.
“What we round in our study is that when people used a smartphone to view classic moral problems, they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly emotional dilemma,” Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London. “This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”
As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this could have on the hundreds of millions of people who use such devices daily. “It’s clear that we need more research on how our devices affect our moral decision-making because we’re using screens at an ever increasing rate.”
【1】Why did the author mention the trolley problem?
A.To introduce a difficult problem to readers.
B.To introduce the aim of carrying out the study.
C.To show an example of the questions in the study.
D.To show the difficulty in dealing with dilemmas.
【2】How do the smartphone users of the study behave in dealing with emotional dilemmas?
A.Calmly. B.Cruelly.
C.Carelessly. D.Enthusiastically.
【3】Dr Albert believes that compared with PCs, smartphones .
A.help people bear more pressure
B.help people make decisions quickly
C.make people feel more mentally distant
D.make people stay happier to solve problems
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The importance of smartphones. B.The significance of the study.
C.How to make moral decisions. D.What affects people’s daily life.
24、The Basics of Math—Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.
Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.
