You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When youre learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you arent allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You dont have to go to a driving school - a friend can teach you. The person with you isnt allowed to take money for the lesson unless hes got a teachers license.Before youre allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you dont pass the test, youre allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When youve passed your test, you dont have to take it again, and youre allowed to go on driving as long as you like.

I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family are really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldnt believe how quickly my French has improved! Im very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes, it doesnt make me worried as it used to. My biggest challenge (挑战) is learning how to behave (表现) at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example, you shouldnt put your bread on your plate. You should put it on the table! I thought that was very strange at first, but now Im used to it. You shouldnt eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very rude to say youre full. If you dont want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, its rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows (肘部), on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but Im gradually getting used to things and dont find them so strange any more.Ill write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope youre having a good school year.Yours,Li Ying（1）Where is Li Ying now?（2）What does Li Ying think of her host family?（3）How does Li Ying feel while she is speaking French now?（4）When can Li Ying eat things with her hands there?（5）Why do you want to go there if you have the chance to take part in an exchange program?24. （8分） Scientists who study the climate are still arguing about how fast the earth is warming and how much it will warm, but they do agree that the earth is warming and that it will keep warming if we dont do anything about it.Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees) . Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. Its already too late to stop global warming completely.If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that is disappearing because they cant move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (联邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.（1）What are the scientists arguing about in the passage?A . How fast is the earth warming?B . How much will the earth warm?C . The earth will keep warming if we dont do anything about it.D . Both A and B.（2）What does the underlined phrase “soak up” mean?A . take inB . grow upC . take offD . set up（3）What may be the causes of global warming?A . The disappearance of plants and animals and the wasting energyB . The burning of fossil fuels and storms and floodsC . The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.D . The rising of sea level and deforestation.（4）What is the best title of this passage?A . The reason for global warmingB . How to stop global warmingC . The changes to the worldD .

AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AIs recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the drivers jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI.
