The well-known "new great inventions" of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.
High-speed trains
China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008.Since then，the number of passenger trips has grown by
over 30 percent every year. By 2016，more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020，one-fifth of
the country's 150，000-km railway network will be used by the trains. This network will link more than 80 percent
of major cities across China.
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a “cashless society”. Instead of paying by cash（现金），customers
now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat Pay
on their mobile phones.
Shared bikes
China has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays，bike users can
simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smart phone apps.
Online shopping
With around 751 million Internet users，China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing online
shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements（执照要求），it's easier for sellers to
open an online shop in China. In 2016，more than 20 million jobs of rural areas were created，with over 8.1
million running their own online shops.

Nobody knows who invented the pencil or when it was invented. A Swiss described a pencil in a book in 1565.
He said it was a piece of wood with lead（铅）inside it. In 1795，someone started making pencils from
graphite（石墨）and they became very popular. Today，people make pencils in the same way. They put it inside a
piece of wood. One pencil can make a line as long as 55 kilometers.
When people wrote with pens，they had to put the pen point into the ink after writing every few letters. Later
someone invented a fountain pen（自来水笔）and this kind of pen could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen can
write several pages before you have to fill it again.
Two brothers，Ladislao and Georg Biro，invented the ballpoint pen that we all use today. They left their
country Hungary and started producing ballpoint pens in England in 1943 during the World War Ⅱ. Later，a French
company called Bic bought the Biro brothers' company. Someone calls ballpoint pens bics. Australians call them
biros. Whatever they are called，we use them every day.

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. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the
technology is there.
So how? The cars have sensors( 感应器)all around which can find other cars and objects in the road.Road
signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems( 卫星导航系统)are used so the car knows how to get
where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the
information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? 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 also drive more safely than people—
they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical( 道
德 的 )decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and
potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun—I’d miss never driving a car myself.
There would also be many other decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless
car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car— but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable
and popular on our roads.
1.When using a driverless car, you need only 　　　.
A.read the road signs carefully
B.check the cameras
C.put the address into the computer
D.remember the directions
2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the 　　　 of driverless cars.
A.instructions B.standards
C.advantages D.tests
3.The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “　　　”.
A.possibly B.successfully
C.especially D.naturally
4.What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?
A.They’ll cause more accidents.
B.They’ll be less expensive.
C.They’ll use less energy.
D.They’ll run much faster.

Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is 210 feet long and 30 feet wide, and it can take up to
sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped and comfortable, and there’s even a library! It isn’t necessary to
know anything about sailing—students can learn on the ship.
Not all the students are Canadian. There’s usually a mix of nationalities. This year, there are also students from
Mexico, the US, Germany, and Turkey. There’s a mix of ages too. There are high school students sixteen to
eighteen years old, and first-year college students.
The teachers design special study programs for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some
exciting classes, for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History of Geography
courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing!
Students don’t just study. They must also clean, cook, and sail the ship. In their free time, students can rest,
read, or watch a movie. In the evenings, they relax with friends and have club meetings.
Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there’s lots for the students
to do—homestays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go boating and do other
water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term.
Students also take part in two volunteer programs in Senegal and the Dominican Republic. They help local
families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with
just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people’s lives.
1.In Paragraph 2 we can get the information about 　　　.
A.the ship B.the students
C.the classes D.the activities
2.Which of the following statements is true?
