13．One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard．Her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towards the sky with amazing speed．Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious，golden leaves in the fall．
When the two-day snowstorm struck our town，heavy snow fell on the tree's branches that were still full of leaves．The weight split （劈叉） that lovely tree down the middle．It was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm．When I talked to my neighbor later，she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down．Thankfully she had saved a few saplings（树苗） from it that she hoped to replant in the future．
Still，it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump（树桩） in her front yard．I missed that tree．I missed its beauty，its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun．I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens．I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come．My wonderful neighbor，though，had another plan．When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner．It was such an affirmation of life．It was such a joy to see．I could feel my heart smile．
Life by its very nature is a mixed bag．It hands us both beauty and tragedy，love and loss，pleasure and pain．What we do with it，however，is up to us．We can let it split us in two，or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving．We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others．

21．We know from the first paragraph thatC．
A．the tree grew very slowly
B．the author's neighbor was good at planting trees

D．the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight
22．The author's neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it asD．
A．a good reminder
B．a seat after dinner
C．a beautiful sculpture
D．a place to feed birds
23．What does the author mainly want to show in the passage？C
A．Life has beauty and tragedy．
B．Life consists of pain and suffering．
C．Life is determined by our attitude towards it．
D．Life should be pleasant rather than painful．

8．There was a time when the belief that teachers should be highly-respected and teaching is a noble profession prevailed（盛行）．And that was exactly the dangerous illusion I used to have （21）beforeI actually became a teacher．Nowadays，as far as I am concerned，being a responsible teacher to a large degree means （22）clearing（clear） up the mess left by his or her students on a regular basis．
Take my personal experience as an example．For years，my students （23）have never failed （never fail） to amaze me with their magnificent abilities to escalate（使…逐步升级）trivial matters into disastrous chaos．Of course，that is not something （24）to boast （boast） about，but I have to say so far they have done a tremendous job．Therefore，not even a single second can I take my eyes away from them because once they are out of sight，they are out of control （25）as ifsuddenly they were transformed from reasonable human beings into restless monkeys by magical spells．
Besides，it is increasingly hard for me to understand my students （26）despite the constant efforts I make．
Conversations with my students usually end in one of three ways：
Students don't respond to any attempts made to establish real communication，（27）whatever say．
They reply with lip-service，in that they will start to behave themselves，but （28）nothing results from this．
They blame others for their faults and takes no responsibilities for their own behaviors．So，with all those said，it is not surprising that in China it has become （29）more challenging （challenging） for governments to persuade people to join the teaching profession．Part of the reason for this may be the intense pressure that comes from feeling powerless to control the children for （30）whomthey are responsible．

19．This month，Germany's transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles（自主驾驶车辆）．They would define the driver's role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost．
The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the"death valley"of autonomous vehicles：the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future．
Dobrindt wants three things：that a car always chooses property（财产） damage over personal injury； that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race； and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel-to check email，say-the car's maker is responsible if there is a crash．
"The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving，"says Dobrindt．It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers，he says．
Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers，consumers and lawyers．"The liability（法律责任） issue is the biggest one of them all，"says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds，UK．
An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，introduced earlier this year，insists that a human"be watchful and monitoring the road"at every moment．
But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars．"When you say‘driverless cars'，people expect driverless cars．"Merat says．"You know-no driver．"Because of the confusion，Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation．
Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，California．That is happening in the UK and Singapore，where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched．
That would go down poorly in the US，however．"The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here，"says Calo．

12．What does the phrase"death valley"in Paragraph 2 refer to？D
A．A place where cars often break down．
B．A case where passing a law is impossible．
C．An area where no driving is permitted．
D．A situation where drivers'role is not clear．
13．What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars？D
A．It should get the attention of insurance companies．
B．It should be the main concern of law makers．
C．It should not cause deadly traffic accidents．
D．It should involve no human responsibility．
14．Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future inC．
A．Singapore                       B．the UK
C．the US                          D．Germany
15．What could be the best title for passage？A
A．Autonomous Driving：Whose Liability？
B．Fully Automatic Cars：A New Invention
C．Autonomous Vehicles：Driver Removed
D．Driverless Cars：Root of Road Accidents．
