21、Driverless cars coming soon
You are driving to school. You look up to see a pretty, hot air balloon. Whoa! You almost went through a stop sign! In a driverless car, you can look at the balloon. 【1】Car makers and others are already testing driverless cars or AVs (automated vehicles) in the U.S. and other countries. Driverless cars may be for sale by 2025!
【2】When a car is slipping on an icy road, the ABS can tap the brakes quickly. The wheels turn slowly but do not stop. The driver can then steer the car to safety.
Many cars also have parallel parking technology. These cars can park themselves along a street. No driver is needed. As cars get more driverless technology, they will be safer than cars with a driver. Driverless cars can move closer together on the road than cars with drivers. This may make driving on busy roads safer. 【3】Google’s driverless cars have been on the road since 2009 without a major crash.
A driverless car can see the road better than people with the help of radar, cameras, and lasers. Radar helps the car see things up to 100 meters away even in darkness or rain. 【4】Lasers that work like radar, called lidar, spin on the roof and build a 3D model of the world around the car.
Automated vehicles use a GPS to find the best way from one place to another. All the information from the radar, cameras, lasers, and the GPS goes to the Controller Area Network bus. A bus is a network that lets all those devices talk to one another. 【5】
A．Also, AVs don’t get sleepy or text on their phones while driving.
B．Most cars already have some driverless technology like the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
C．Google (USA) and Nissan (Japan) are making their own driverless cars.
D．The CAN bus uses the information to steer the car and to tell the car to go or stop.
E．Cameras help the car see objects that are close.
F．The car sees the stop sign without your help and stops the car.
G．AV trucks may roll along highways without a truck driver.
22、Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.
According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.
Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.
These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.
【1】What do most people think causes bad behavior?
A.Being forced by others.
B.Not having enough will power.
C.Enjoying their first experiences.
D.Following the examples of their friends.
【2】The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.
A.will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
B.drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers
C.self-control should be developed when one is young
D.everyone can be challenged by different temptations
【3】In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.
A.without self-control, no one can succeed
B.bad habits don’t always lead to bad results
C.applying self-control correctly is important
D.people can develop wisdom from bad behavior
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.My First Sip of Beer B.Do You Have Will Power ?
C.Does Will Power Benefit Us? D.Dark Side of Self-control

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容及所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续写短文的词数应为150左右。
I met DeDe during my second year in high school. She was in a class that helps students with a variety of mental and physical disabilities. I had never communicated with them until my, field hockey(曲棍球)coach who was also their teacher, asked me to help her to meet DeDe when her bus dropped her off for the basketball game.
On that January evening, I saw an electric wheelchair with DeDe in it. The first feature I noticed about DeDe was her smile, which was as vibrant (有活力的) as the sun on a summer day, “I came to pick you up for your first basketball game,” I said. “I’m really excited about that,” she replied enthusiastically.
I had never worked with special needs students and didn’t know what to expect, but DeDe could cam, on a full conversation, and I could understand 90% of her words. She blew me away with her intelligence and confidence. Soon we became close friends.
One day as I drove to DeDe’s house, I thought about my life. I couldn’t think of any great achievements, yet I had the ability to succeed. DeDe couldn’t go through a normal day of high school, and she didn’t have a regular social life. But she was always joyful and devoted herself to her interest. At that time, I was deeply in love with field hockey, but my mother didn’t allow me to play it in the third year. I didn’t know what to do.
Pulling up to her house, I saw DeDe’s grandmother. She called me inside to talk. “DeDe really thinks a lot of you and I feel so blessed that you have come into her life. It’s not a complete day if DeDe doesn’t mention you.” I felt so touched. I had never known how much I meant to DeDe before.
Paragraph 1:
So I decided to talk to DeDe directly about my problems.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
I thought DeDe was right.
