第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many public figures from IT, show business, and sports have joined the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎缩性侧索硬化) research. A number of international famous people have already taken the challenge, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, A founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, and Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook. Troubled musician Justin Bieber even challenged US President Barrack Obama.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge requires that participants pour a bucket of ice water on themselves and then post a video of it on social media while nominating one or more people to do the same within 24 hours. People who fail to take the challenge will have to donate $100 to The ALS Association, which advocates finding treatment and a cure for ALS. And many of those who’ve taken the challenge donated as well.
ALS is a rare disease that gradually reduces patients’ muscle strength, finally making them become unable to speak, move, swallow and breathe. In North America, ALS is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the star baseball player who died of the disease in 1941 at the age of 38. The best-known ALS patient today is British scientist Stephen Hawking. While most people with ALS survive only two to five years after diagnosis(诊断), Hawking has had the disease for decades. The medical treatment for ALS is very expensive and cannot be covered by most social welfare programs. This creates difficulties for many ALS patients and their families, both physically and mentally.
“Due to the ice bucket campaign, many people beginning to know about ALS. With more people aware and more people taking part in the fight against ALS, we can calmly work with not only other ALS organizations, but also with medical companies to speed up new treatments for people affected by the disease,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association.
1、Why does the author mention many famous people in Paragraph 1?
A．To stress the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
B．To advise us to learn from them.
C．To prove they are generous.
D．To introduce the target group of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
2、Paragraph 2 is mainly about the Ice Bucket challenge’s ________.
A．influence B．purpose
C．rules D．development
3、The person who is nominated for the challenge is required to ________.
A．donate $100 to The ALS Association
B．watch others videos on social media
C．help find effective treatments for ALS
D．pour ice water on himself within time
4、What do we know about ALS from the text?
A．ALS is fairly common now.
B．Lou Gehrig was first cured of ALS.
C．It is rare for people with ALS to survive decades.
D．Social welfare programs provide medical treatments for ALS.
5、According to Barbara Newhouse, the Ice Bucket Challenge ________.
A．makes more people well aware of ALS
B．teaches people how to fight against ALS
C．makes medical companies help ALS patients
D．attracts many people to join ALS organizations

B
The first truly autonomous cars — vehicles that drive down the streets with no one behind the wheel — have finally arrived.
Waymo, which began life as Google’s self-driving car project, announced that it had let its driverless cars loose in parts of Phoenix, Arizona, with nobody in the front seats to take over in case of emergency. Members of the public taking part in a Waymo trial in the desert city in the south-west US will be able to order the vehicles to come through an app “in the next few months”, the group said.
Potentially one of the most revolutionary (革命性的) new technologies, as well as one of the most advertised, driverless cars have been at the centre of a race between big automakers and technology companies. But while a number of groups are testing the technology on the streets with back-up drivers behind the wheel, most believe the approach of full autonomy is at least two years away.
Google shocked the auto industry when it first showed a basic version of its driverless technology seven years ago, and it then invested more than $ l bn in autonomous vehicle research.
Rivals (竞争对手) admit it still has a technology lead, though skeptics question whether the artificial intelligence is good enough to respond to the many unforeseen events that could occur on the road.
Waymo believes it is the first company to reach a standard known in the driverless car world as level 4, meaning its cars can drive under full autonomy in preset areas that have been carefully mapped out and tested. Uber, General Motors, Aptiv PLC, BMW and others have been conducting testing to reach level 4, but all of them still keep a human in the driver’s seat.
1、What should people do in the driverless car test?
A．Take over in an emergency.
B．Call for a car without an app.
C．Let the car operate in full autonomy.
D．Test the car in a deserted place.
2、The third paragraph may be used to show .
A．Google’s driverless technology is really advanced
B．Way mo will be widely acknowledged two years later
C．driverless cars will damage the entire automobile market
D．the technology of driverless cars is developing too fast
3、Why is Waymo confident about trying out its first driverless cars?
A．Because it already invented a basic version.
B．Because it has a technology lead in this area.
C．Because it has reached full, level 4 autonomy.
D．Because its cars can drive wherever a person likes.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards the self-driving car?
A．Supportive. B．Opposed.
C．Skeptical. D．Objective.

Dear Tom,
I am delighted that you have passed the exam successful. What you have gained are the result of your hard work. How time flies! It’s two years before you came to study Chinese in Beijing. In the past two years, you had helped us a lot, without that we couldn’t have made such a great progress in English.
Before you leave, many classmates and I intend to hold a farewell party for you, hope that you can remember the wonderful time we spent together. In the way, the party will be held this Saturday evening in my house. We can take the No.1 bus at the hotel gate and get off bus at the Booking Building. I will be there meeting you.
We’re looking forward to your coming.
Li Hua
