21、There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The king continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander’s favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart. “Oh, King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”

Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.”

“The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”

“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.

B. realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all

C. was spending a lot time conquering many kingdoms and had earned a great amount of wealth

22、Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming hazards (危险), scientists claim. The extremely fast mobile internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.

Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to help serve in the generation of sel-driving vehicles.

Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents, which according to the World Health Organization account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50million people injured worldwide every year, will drop drastically (彻底地) as a result.

Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said, “To have a better idea of what the future will look like, think of having such cars that not only use sensors to scan what's around them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their surroundings over an area that covers several square miles. With the help of 5G, a vehicle-generated early warning system that reminds drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will transmit warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably.”

A few manufacturers are already working on connected cars. Of them, Ford revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about upcoming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.

【1】What is the benefit of 5G mentioned in the text?

A．It can improve the safety of automated vehicles.

B．It can help drivers communicate with each other.

C．It can effectively wipe out road traffic accidents.

D．It can help make more profits for the manufacturers.

【2】What can we know about the vehicle-generated warning system?

A．It can get information several miles ahead.

B．It will frequently send messages to drivers.

C．It has been proved extremely helpful for driving.

D．It is under research and development at present.

【3】What will be probably continued with the text?

A．Some safety rules when using 5G.

B．Some car manufacturers.

C．The sales information of cars with 5G.

D．The advantages when using 5G.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．5G on the Way to Making “Dialogue” Between Cars

B．5G Leaves Drivers Free When They Are Driving

C．5G Has Been Popular with Drivers Around the World

D．5G Is to Bring Great Convenience to Our Daily Life

24、Insurance companies are starting to use smartbox technology, so good drivers can benefit from cheap insurance rates.

The smartbox, similar to a black box for airplanes, records details about how your car is driven, which can result in cheap car insurance for responsible drivers. The device is connected to the electronics in your car and collects a wide criterion of information such as time, speed, braking, cornering, acceleration and location. It’s like having an insurance agent sitting beside you while driving.

The smartbox data is wireless transferred in real time to the insurance company and provides a profile of when, where and how you drive. This profile is then used to compare insurance rates and to reward low-risk driving behavior with cheap insurance rates.

Drivers are high-risk when they drive irresponsibly such as speeding, frequent lane changing, driving in high-risk locations or at high-risk times such as in heavy traffic or late at night.

These new electronic inventions are intended to replace the standard practice of categorizing drivers into group behavior to determine insurance coverage and premium (保费) payments. For example, young drivers are more likely to drive fast, drive at night and use a cell phone while driving. Statistically, young drivers are more likely to cause an accident, so insurance companies charge them higher rates to cover the costs of accident claims. So even if you’re a young, responsible driver, you will pay high insurance rates because of group behavior.

This technology allows you to provide proof that your driving behavior doesn’t fit the pattern of your demographic (统计) group.

All the information collected about your driving can be viewed online — including what you’re doing well and what could be improved. Your insurance premium is then calculated according to your driving profile.

【1】What will a good driver benefit from the smartbox?

A．Fewer traffic accidents.

B．Better traffic order.

C．Lower insurance payment.

D．Less petrol used in driving.

【2】How does the insurance company monitor the driving?

A．By checking the device in the car.

B．By sitting beside the driver.

C．By watching the traffic on the roads.

D．By collecting the driving data online.

【3】What will the use of smartboxes bring about?

A．Better service for cars.

B．Lower prices of petrol.

C．More convenient transport.

D．More reasonable insurance charge.

【4】What can we infer about the smartbox from the text?

A．It requires better driving habits.

B．It saves the drivers a lot of time.

C．It helps the drivers use less energy.

D．It takes the place of the traffic police.

25、Dealing with Digital Shame

Some argue shame can be a forceful tool for change. But when it's weaponized against others in _________digital spaces, these same strategies can turn into hurtful behaviours, like cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰).

Getting called out, insulted or bullied isn't exactly _________. But the Internet's ability to strengthen and permanently _________those messages is. And this tool is now in the hands of most young people. Here's how experts recommend guiding kids and teens through this digital landscape.

1. Think before you post.

In the digital age, what we share can become _________. It's also a way of _________ourselves to others, says web safety expert Nancy Willard. _________, consider what your social media footprint says about you. "Write down the key words that you would like other people to use when they describe you," Willard says. "Then, when you're _________ something, [ask yourself], 'Does that reflect those qualities?'"

2. Work through scenarios (可能场景) in advance.

If someone attacks you online, says Justin W. Patching, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Centre, you might feel the desire -- even the need to respond. Instead, parents should consider helping their kids _________such situations beforehand. "Given them a situation," he says, "to just practice those skills of _________or making a joke of it."

3. Stop and stay calm.

It's easy for a delicate digital argument to make your blood boil. "If you're upset, realize that the threat __________centre of your brain has taken over," Willard says. "Unfortunately, when this happens, your emotional __________and your thinking centres go offline." But there are ways to remain cool. Take some deep breaths. Step away from the keyboard. Go for a walk outside.

4. Put yourself in the other person' s shoes.

If you're being belittled online, it may say more about the other person than it does about you, says psychologist Sherry Turkle. "If you can keep that in mind," she says, "then the whole experience will seem less __________to you, emotionally."

5. Empower yourself with tools.

If you find yourself being cyberbullied, often the tech itself can provide a number of simple ways to respond: Blocking the __________. Reporting hurtful exchanges. Taking screenshots. Saving message threads. Having that __________can help if the behaviours do escalate beyond one hurtful offense to repeated, long-standing harassment. It's a lot easier for authorities to get involved when they can see __________what's going on.
