Try to stay calm. The worst thing you can do is become overly agitated and panicked.‎ ‎ 2. Don’t try to open the door. This will cause the car to be filled with water very quickly.‎ ‎ 3. Unfasten your seat belt or cut it if it’s jammed.‎ ‎ 4. Help free anyone else in the car.‎ ‎ 5. Use a window punch — preferably spring-loaded. It’s nearly impossible to break a car window with your hands or feet.‎ ‎ 6. Exit through the broken window and swim up to safety. ‎ ‎ “Every car should be equipped with a window punch and seat belt cutter, but they are usually completely forgotten by car owners,” says Goldstein. For example, the T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool from Stat Gear features a 440c stainless steel serrated knife, seat belt cutter, spring-loaded window punch and LED light.‎ ‎ Goldstein asserts that the T3 or another similar tool should always be within arm’s length of a driver. “If for any reason a driver becomes pinned into his or her seat, emergency tools need to be within reach —— otherwise they are useless. They will do you no good in your trunk or backseat.” The following is a quick demonstration on how to escape a sinking car with a baby on board.‎ ‎21. What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 1?‎ A. washed B. cleaned C. stuck D. discovered ‎22. According to the passage, where should you put a window punch and a seat belt cutter in your car?‎ A. Near the driver’s seat. B. In the trunk.‎ C. In the back seat. D. Under the engine.‎ ‎23. What will be following the passage?‎ A. How to save a baby in a car. B. How to help a baby escape from a car. ‎ C. How to escape from a sinking car with a baby. D. How to avoid sinking a car with a baby.‎ B Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession (经济衰退) pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought. ‎ Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.‎ A new generation of parents needs to discover the meaning of "quality time," researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time— spending productive time with children instead of just being around,” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than "passive monitoring," such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.‎ ‎“This time with children pays off,” Brandon says. He notes that good parent—child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.‎ As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.‎ Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time ‎ they do spend is communicating with them instead of doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says. “The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,” he says "You’d better take away time from other things.”‎ ‎24. The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that .‎ ‎ A. technology lets parents work at home B. parents are satisfied with their work ‎ C. technology makes our lives much easier D. the family time is not always satisfying ‎25. We can learn from the third paragraph that .‎ ‎ A. some families are not experiencing quality time ‎ B. it's enough for parents to stay with their children ‎ C. parents enjoy engaging in work-at-home activities ‎ D. working hours at home can transform into quality time ‎26. The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off ”means .‎ ‎ A. the time with children is of little value B. the time with children costs quite a lot ‎ C. the time with children leads to good results D. the time with children has a bad effect on them ‎27. According to the new research on work and family schedules to be presented at the meeting in Dallas, what leads to the declining of parents’ availability? ‎ ‎ A. Because parents don’t know the meaning of “quality time”. ‎ ‎ B. Because parents are unwilling to care about their children. ‎ ‎ C. Because parents are under the great recession pressures. ‎ ‎ D. Because more parents today are busy at their work.‎ C Even as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.‎ ‎"Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people," said Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.‎ The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator or brake pedal. "Our software and sensors do all the work," Urmson said. "The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button." The prototype (雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.‎ In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness. ‎ Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.‎ The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow "safety drivers" to take control if needed.‎ Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that "can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," Urmson said. "We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle," Urmson said.‎ ‎28. According to Chris Urmson, __________.‎ A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans B. software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars C. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly D. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars ‎ ‎29. The passage informs us that self-driving cars __________.‎ A. have already passed necessary tests B. have been purchased by some companies ‎ C. will be able to communicate with drivers D. will probably decrease traffic jams ‎30. The underlined word "intersections" in the last paragraph can probably be replaced __________.‎ A. crossings B. buildings C. vehicles D. accidents ‎31. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets B. Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global Popularity C. Self-driving Car Meets New Challenges D. Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors ‎ D The U. S. Postal Service (USPS) is losing billions of dollars a year. The government company that delivers "small mail" is losing out to email and other types of electronic communication. First-class mail amount fell from a high point of 104 million pieces in 2000 to just 64 million pieces by 2015.‎ Congress permits the 600.000-employee USPS to hold a monopoly (垄断) over first-class and standard mail. The company pays no federal, state or local taxes; pays no vehicle fees; and is free from many regulations on other businesses. Despite these advantages, the USPS has lost $52 billion since 2007, and will continue losing money without major reforms.‎ The problem is that Congress is preventing the USPS from reducing costs as its sales decline, and is blocking efforts to end Saturday service and close unneeded post office locations. USPS also has a costly union-dominated workforce that slows the introduction of new ideas or methods down. USPS workers earn significantly higher payment than comparable private-sector workers. The answer is to privatize the USPS and open postal markets to competition. With the rise of the Internet, the argument that mail is a natural monopoly that needs government protection is weaker than ever.‎ Other countries facing declining letter amounts have made reforms. Germany and the ‎ Netherlands privatized their national postal companies over a decade ago, and other European countries have followed suit. Britain floated shares of the Royal Mail on its stock exchange in 2013. Some countries, such us Sweden and New Zealand, have not privatized their national postal companies, but they have opened them up to competition.‎ These reforms have driven efficiency improvements in all of these countries. Additional numbers of workers have been reduced, productivity has risen and consumers have benefited. Also, note that cost-cutting measures—such as closing tone post offices—are good for both the economy and the environment. ‎ Privatization and competition also encourage new changes. When the USPS monopoly over "extremely urgent" mail was stopped in 1979, we saw an explosion in efficient overnight private delivery by firms such as FedEx.‎ The government needs to wake up to changing technology, study postal reforms abroad and let businessmen reinvent our out-of-date postal system.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the USPS?‎ A. Its great competitor is the delivery firm FedEx.‎ B. It is an old public service open to competitions.‎ C. Its employees don't pay federal, state or local taxes.‎ D. It has complete control of first-class and standard mail.‎ ‎33. The author mentions some other countries in Paragraph 4 to __________.‎ A. explain the procedures of reform to the USPS B. show the advantages of private postal services C. set some examples for the government to learn from D. prove the situation is very common around the world ‎34. The author probably agree that the USPS __________.‎ A. needs government’s protection as ever B. can work together with other businesses C. must be replaced by international companies ‎ D. should be sold out and become a private service ‎35. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ A B C D ‎( I: Introduction CP: Central point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion)‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want ‎ to know your website. 36 Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity. 37 Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it. While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout. At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow. 38 Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: 39 If you are too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site. Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long text online. 40 Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small. Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first. Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. ‎ A．Start simply.‎ B．Break it into small pieces.‎ C．Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.‎ D．Many websites are considered very interesting.‎ E．Before you start building your site, do some planning. F．Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. G．These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分， 满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Kites, Kids, and the 2 Necessities for Success Fall has finally arrived and nobody is more excited than those of us in Arizonal.

The proverb “He who has ‎ never been to the Great wall is not a true man.” is about the Great Wall.‎ The Great Wall of China was built during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty to defend against enemies. Meanwhile, the Great Wall is one of the seven great wonders in the world, which is considered as a symbol of the Chinese people’s wisdom. Actually, climbing it needs courage, determination and other good qualities. Therefore, if you manage to climb it, it shows that you are equipped with those qualities，as this proverb puts it.‎ I sincerely invite you to come to China to visit the Great Wall and I guarantee you will have a good time. Inspiring by the proverb, you are bound to clime the Great Wall successfully and be a true man.‎ Looking forward to your early reply.‎
