阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes， toothpaste， shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But， if you travel to Beijing ， remember to bring your own things. Starting from June， some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know， one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing ， people throw away about 19，000 tons of plastic bags and 1，320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out， the better. So， wherever you travel， bring your own things and use them again and again.

Back at home and school， you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life：L Use cloth shopping bags， not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag， wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）， use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

1.Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?

A. Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.

2. Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many disposable things are made of plastic.

B. Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.

A. Use shopping bags made of plastic.

B. Do not throw away paper cups.

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical（典型的）high school and its students.

A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would like to loan（租借）instead of buying them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.

American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.

Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.

The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports---especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Some big companies have been designing and testing these cars. The first robot-taxis with no drivers are planned to hit the road, and it is said that more than 10,000 driverless vehicles will be in use around the world by 2021.

The cars have sensors (传感器), including radar and GPS, which allows the cars to “ see” moving objects, like cars and people, in order to work out when to go faster or slower, or when to stop or turn. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the curb or other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and GPS is used so the car knows how to get to the place you want to go. All you have to do is to type in the address!

Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would drive more safely than people—they don’t get distracted by music or friends.

However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or change direction and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, some people don’t believe these cars are safe and reliable. They think it’s highly possible for technology to make mistakes, meaning that driverless cars are just as dangerous as cars driven by actual drivers. There would also be many legal (法律的) decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves?

Although being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driver’s license, saving money for everyone, but many people would lose jobs. Bus and taxi drivers as well as driving instructors may not be needed any more.

Personally, I don’t think I’d ever want a driverless car because I find driving fun. But it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and common on our roads.

1.The second paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. how driverless cars work B. what driverless cars can do

C. how comfortable driverless cars are D. what people like about driverless cars

2.The underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A. mistakes B. accidents C. problems D. rules

3.The writer probably agrees that ________.

A. driverless cars will bring more jobs for people

B. some people may refuse to buy a driverless car

C. traditional cars will disappear in the near future

D. people’s lives will be better because of driverless cars

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. The driverless car: is it safe to be on the road?

B. The driverless car: it’s the technology of the future

C. The driverless car: is it a great or problematic invention?

D. The driverless car: its advantages are more than disadvantages
