To them, he was “the ice cream man”. He was just two hands and a smile handing back ice cream from the van (面包车) window. To me, he was my older brother, Andrew.Once, he worked on Wall Street. But later he spent his days selling ice cream to an endless line of kids, moms and dads in swimming suits, perhaps daydreaming of a beach faraway.All day long, while he sold bags of potato chips, cans of soda, and all types of ice cream, he would do this sort of robotic motion-turn to the right, stoop down, hand the item out of the window and collect the money.His drinking days were over now. They neared their end one night after he took a severe beating when someone followed him home and robbed him when he was drunk. It left him memories of pain and misery. He was determined he would never take another drink again.One day years later, I went to look for him. I slipped into the high drivers seat and sat quietly watching him work. Occasionally, he would ask me to hand him a diet root beer or a bag of chips for sale, all the time bending over as he worked the long line.As I watched him sell ice cream from a van window, he taught me something about living this life that we all pass through too quickly. It was a lesson about trying to live it with grace and dignity and style, no matter what.He died in March 1999. He had served in the Army for two years in Europe in the 1950s.

Not everything important in a cars environment will be caught by the vehicles camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until its too late. This is why vehicle- to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are considerable.Applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row, to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles.From as far as several hundred metres away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units (RSUs) about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network. A high level of AI seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-drive from A to B, but also to react intelligently to messages received. Vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt in the light of information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviours. For example, a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of potential risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crowding ahead.Further applications of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behaviour.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.B. The research about applications for self-driving vehicles.C. The importance of artificial intelligence of self-driving vehicles.D. The reasons for developing communication between self-driving vehicles.9. What does the underlined word “alert” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Alarm. B. Condemn.C. Ignore. D. Govern.10. What can we learn about roadside units (RSUs)?A. They classify the vehicles on the road.B. They can improve bad road conditions.C. They take over the passing vehicles.D. They serve as efficient information stations.11. What is the best title for the text?A. When do vehicles communicate?B. The reasons why a high level of AI is importantC. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is comingD. What do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C【解析】通过本文我们得知：车对车通信即将来临。8. D9. A词义猜测题。根据第二段中to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles.有关附近紧急车辆的安全信息。可知车辆之间可以互相提醒，避免碰撞或分享有关通知。由此可知划线词的意思是“提醒，报警”，故选A。10. D推理判断题。根据第三段第一句From as far as several hundred metres away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units (RSUs) about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network.可知它们是有效的信息站。故选D。11. C主旨大意题。根据最后一段Further applications of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behaviour.可知车对车通信即将来临。故选C。DFood storing is common in members of the crow (乌鸦) family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved (进化) specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours-something we wouldnt expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token (礼品券) from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that chimpanzees select, transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future-but they left an important question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions? Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesnt typically occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals dont evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.12. Whats the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?A. They can store foodB. They can use tools to recover food.C. They can store and recover tools.D. They can select and store food.13. What ore crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?A. Reject it casually.B. Exchange it for foodC. Save it as their food.D. Build a nest with it.14. What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?A. They are controversial.B. They are disappointing.15. What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?A. They develop only with age.B. It is unclear how theyve evolved now.C. No animals but crows benefit from them.D. Planning for the future helps their evolution.【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B【解析】本文通过乌鸦，谈论有关动物的进化。它们是怎样进化的目前还不清楚。12. C细节理解题。根据第一段中Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. -But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.通过第一段可知对乌鸦的新发现是：他们可以存储和恢复工具。故选C。13. B细节理解题根据第二段第一句In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token (礼品券) from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.可知训练乌鸦用奖品劵来交换食物。故选。14. A推理判断题。根据第三段第一句These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future-but they left an important question open for debate.可知科学家们对动物可以为未来计划的研究是有争议的。故选。15. B推理判断题。根据最后一段中We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.可知它们是怎样进化的还不清楚。故选。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，选项中冇两项为多余选项。How to Become an Activist (活动家)Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. _16_ If you are interested in it you can do so._17_ This could be anything from a student club to a national organization (like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance).

F【解析】本文论述的是：怎样成为一名活动家？16. C根据上句：积极分子是看到变革需要的人，并奉献一些时间为它做事情。可知他们是由激情和对美好未来的憧憬驱动的。选项中的指的就是Activists。故选C。17. B根据下文：这可能是从学生俱乐部到国家组织的任何事情。可知此空的意思应该是：你可以加入一个支持你事业的组织。故选B。18. E本文段首句：捐钱或物资。再根据空格下句：如果你不能为支持你的组织捐款，你能捐其他所需要的东西，像衣服或罐头食品。也就是说：大多数活动家或慈善组织需要资源来完成他们的工作。故选。19. D根据空格上句：如果你的家人和朋友对你做的事情感兴趣，分享关于你事业的文献，或者和他们谈论你所了解到的。可知：如果你做志愿者工作，邀请他们和你一起做志愿者。故选。20. F根据上句：你可以使用社交媒体帮助你的朋友和追随者了解你的事业情况。根据下文的，“你可以邀请你的朋友参加活动或者为你募捐。” 由此可知F. Post useful articles and write about what you are doing to stay involved.（发表有用的文章，写下你要做什么来参与其中。）符合题意。【名师点睛】做七选五练习时，“尤其代词不可放”是说：在填空处的前后语境中出现的一些代词不可忽视。有这样一道题：”They can be rich resources to improve your knowledge.”我接着就问学生“该选项中凭空多出一个代词they，这说明什么问题？”学生回答：“代词是起替代作用的，一定是前文出现的事物被they替代了，找到被替代的名词就可以了。”结果往文中一找，前面的语境是“Volunteering brings together all kinds of people.”。这下同学们就明白了，原来they替代的就是前文的all kinds of people短语。这样的现象在七选五中是很多见了，能帮助大家解决不少难题。本题第小题，根据上句：积极分子是看到变革需要的人，并奉献一些时间为它做事情。可知他们是由激情和对美好未来的憧憬驱动的。选项中的指的就是Activists。故选C。第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Im proud of myself for this kindness I did last night.
