Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why 1 refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It's not only the law,
高三期中考试（英语）试题第4页共12页
but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
高三期中考试（英语）试题第4页共12页
Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust .We do what we say
we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
24. Why did the author get impatient while driving?
A. He was lonely on the road. B. He was slowed down by a truck.
C. He got tired of driving too long. D. He came across too many traffic lights.
25. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?
A. Stopping still. B. Driving through it.
C. Looking around for other cars. D. Checking out for traffic police.
26. The event made the author strongly believe that ________.
A. traffic rules may be unnecessary B. doubting others is human nature
C. patience is important to drivers D. a society needs mutual trust
27. Why was the author proud of himself?
A. He kept his promise. B. He held back his anger.
C. He followed his inclination. D. He made a right decision.

What's the point of studying? It's something you might askyourself if you're studying for a degree or struggling to completethe homework, especially if your friends seem to be out havinga good time, or are working and earning lots of money.
Many of us choose to go to university as a first step towardsa good career but sometimes that career is hard to achieve andgraduates end up doing something they are overqualified for. With the increasing costs of university, students begin to askthemselves whether a degree path is the best route into a career.There is a need for much better career advice and guidance onemployment in addition to university education.
But other new research says that a degree will, in the longrun, earn you more. However, there are differences in yourearning potential. Dr Jack Britton says that"Graduates of the 24Russell Group universities earnan average of￡33,500 afterfive years-about 40% more than those who studied at otheruniversities."
However,it has found it's not just the location but otherfactors that can play a part in what you can earn, such as the subject a student chooses to study. It discovered that five yearsafter
高三期中考试（英语）试题第5页共12页
graduation, the income gap between students who studiedthe subjects that attract the highest and lowest salaries can beconsiderable. Graduates in subjects such as law, medicine,anddentistry as
well, tend to do well. And as they progress, the paygap between these careers and others, such as the creative artswidens. There are other factors too that influence what youmight earn: Five years after graduation, men earn on average14% more than women. Also, a student's social background canhave an effect, with those from better-off households muchmore likely to go to university and particularly a good one.
But if you still feel university doesn't deliver the bestopportunities then there are encouraging words from AlistairJarvis, head of Universities UK, who told BBC News that“Employers are demanding more graduates and graduates arehalf as likely to be unemployed as non-graduates. There aremany good graduate outcomes coming from universities.”Somaybe all that studying is worth it--after all“no pain, nogain”!
28. Why do students start to question whether to go to universityor not?
A. Because of the heavy studying burden.
B. Because they can't get adegree after graduation.
C. Because they don’t need adegree for their career.
D. Because of the increasing costs of university.
29. Which major may most probably lead to a lower-earningcareer?
A. MedicineB. LawC.Creative artsD. Dentistry
30. Which of the following is most likely to be fired accordingto Alistair Jarvis?
A. GraduatesB. Non-graduatesC. DoctorsD. Employers
31. What can be inferred from this passage?
A. Russell Group universities are top ones.
B. Most students go to university to get a good career.
C. One's location has noeffect on his income.
D. Graduates often have more academic qualifications than required for the job.

Self-driving vehicles will rely on cameras,sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions,but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle.Not everything important in a car's environment will be caught by the vehicle's camera.Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collisiontrack might not be visible until it's too late.This is why vehicle-to-vehicle

communication is
高三期中考试（英语）试题第6页共12页
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 meters 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.
32.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.
33.What does the underlined word "alert" mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Alarm. B.Condemn. C.Ignore. D.Govern.
34.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.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.When do vehicles communicate?
B.The reasons why a high level of AI is important

Fact or fiction?

Tell a librarian about your interests — rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you'reinto — and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books thatyou're sure to love. Your teacher is another good person to ask.
Launch a book swap.

Dear Professor Liu,
Knowing that I am admitted to London University, now I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for your great help .Without your kind and generous help, I think I wouldn’t have succeeded.
Last June, when I applied to London University, you really gave me a lot of valuable help. You not only wrote a letter of recommendation for me but also gave me important and useful instructions on how to fill in the application forms.
It is your unreserved help that enables me to get such a great opportunity to get further education abroad. For the following two years, I will study harder to reward you and achieve my dreams.
Yours Sincerely
Li Hua

M: Sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to. I just forgot to turn off the tap.
Text 3
M: How do you want to cook the chicken we got for dinner?
W: Well, we can bake it, fry it, or boil it. You know fried food isn’t very good for us. So how about we have some chicken soup this evening? (3)

M: One step left. Good! Look at the building and point to it. Great! Lift your head a bit. Fantastic!
W: Is it done?

W: Should we eat before the movie, or just buy some snacks at the theater?

M: OK. What kind of food do you have?
W: I can make a soup and some salad.
M: That sounds pretty healthy! Do you have anything like ice cream or cookies? (7)
W: No… But I can make some hot chocolate. (7)
M: OK. Great! (7) I like healthy food, but we’ve got to have a treat once in a while! It’s our day off!

M: Well, you could use e-mail to keep in touch with your family and friends back in Italy.
W: I know, I know…but to tell you the truth, I usually talk to them on the phone. (8) It’s more personal that way.
M: But seriously, Anna, there are lots of other things you can do with a computer besides word processing and email. (9)
W: Like what?
M: Well, first of all, there’s the Internet, of course. (9)
W: Yes, I know. You seem to be online all the time.

W: Well, what do you want to do after you graduate?
M: Uh…I haven’t decided for sure, but I think I’d like to work for a hotel or a travel agency in this area. How about you?
W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult. (14)
M: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?
W: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my fees and books, so I don’t need to ask my parents for money. (15)
M: Wow, that’s great!
W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?
M: Yeah. I work as a cook at a restaurant near campus three times a week. (16)
W: How do you like your job?
M: It’s OK. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn’t bad.

I visited New York City for the first time recently. My cousin and I went to downtown Manhattan. I’ll never forget the moment when I got off the subway. I enjoyed my first-time window shopping on Fifth Avenue. It was very cold in New York, (18) but when I saw a Christmas tree with lights all around it,I felt much warmer. In front of the Christmas tree, there was a huge statue and an ice-skating square. Everyone was enjoying themselves there.My cousin and I joined them and we had a great time there. (19) The next day, my cousin and I visited the Statue of Liberty. We stood under the blue sky, looking up at the face of the Statue of Liberty and enjoying our visit. When we went to the top of the Statue of Liberty, we saw the buildings of downtown Manhattan. From the top of the Statue of Liberty, the people below looked so small that I felt like a giant. In the afternoon, we went to see a movie.(20) I had a wonderful time in New York City.
