My eighteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left, saying she had an accident. I

grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute. When I finally saw her, I hugged her tightly.

Then I looked at the other driver. Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about venty miles an

hour when the speed limit was forty-five, I could have choked him.

“It could have been wor,” I reminded mylf as she cried all the way to the doctor's office. Luckily,

four days after the accident, Julia felt better. At her appointment, her doctor cleared her to resume normal

activities, including driving. But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the

wheel.

Later that day, I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance agent. On the phone, she

was professional, telling the agent what had happened in a clear, brief way. I realized she sounded like an

adult. And adults drive cars. I realized that no matter how I felt about it, allowing Julia to give in to her fear

wasn't good for her. When she hung up, I hugged her. “You're stronger than you think,” I said. “And

tomorrow you're going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch. You just have to push through the

fear and do it, and it will get easier each time you do.” I ignored the fear in her eyes and the way my heart

sped up when I thought about Julia behind the wheel again.

The next day, Julia drove my car to meet her friends. As I watched her leave, I felt nervous and proud.

She texted me when she got to the restaurant, and I felt my heart rate return to normal. The tears I'd been

holding back all week flooded my eyes. Watching her leave the hou without me for the first time since

the accident was frightening, but it was also necessary.

24．What was the author's reaction to the driver's behavior?

3

A．She almost burst with anger. B．She felt guilty for her daughter.

C．She felt sympathy for him. D．She was choked with sorrow.

25．What did the doctor suggest to Julia?

A．Staying away from driving. B．Attending a driving lesson.

C．Contacting the insurance agent. D．Retaking her routine activities.

26．What did the author realize when Julia spoke on the phone?

A．The driver took the blame for the accident.

B．The accident had been wor than expected.

C．Julia should overcome the fear to drive.

D．Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.

27．Why did the author cry at Julia's text?

A．Julia was good at learning to drive.

B．Julia recovered mentally and physically.

C．Julia had supportive friends and parents.

D．Julia could look after herlf when driving.

Set on a sloped plot(山坡) above Prague in the city's Troja district, Villa Sophia has no keys, no light

switches and a piano that can play by itlf. The hou can clo the windows when it rains and read aloud

materials it has lected from the Internet, bad on the owners' interests.

“The hou is like a brain,” said Michaela Pankova, who shares the home with her husband, Karel

Panek, and their daughters. “It makes decisions for you bad on previous experience.” The home, designed

by the Prague-bad firm Coll Coll, is intended to go beyond automated to autonomous. “As we say, if we

have to control it ourlves, it's not smart enough,” said Mr. Panek, a computer scientist.

The couple wanted no compromis in quality and efficiency. When they couldn't find a technology

that met their standards, Mr. Panek, the brain behind his home's brain, designed his own system. While

family members go about their daily lives, the system collects data and evaluates that data in real time, then

comes up with solutions and implements(实施) them. It can accept deliveries when the family isn't home,

thanks to individual control of every door from afar and evaluation of the home's external context. It can

preheat the driveway to clear snow and ice(but only if it predicts its u, saving energy (otherwi) and lock

the doors.

Put energy efficiency, home curity and convenience aside, the system's benefit is that in developing

beyond a smart home system to a smart home it frees the homeowner from the burden of constant control.

Mr. Panek calls himlf a technology optimist, but Mrs. Pankova said it took her some time to warm

up to the system. “In the beginning I wasn't into the idea of living in an AI hou,” she said. “During the

time of the preparation and later the construction, I slowly started to be open to the idea.”

28．What can be inferred about the hou from paragraph l? .

A．It is located at the foot of a hill. B．It operates automatically.

C．It frees the family from wind and rain. D．It is poorly equipped with furniture.

29．Who did some extra work to improve the control system of the hou?

A．Coll Coll. B．Mrs. Pankova.

C．Mr. Panek. D．The couple's kids.

30．What is the best advantage of the smart home?

A．Picking up deliveries. B．Saving energy.

C．Preheating the driveway. D．Removing the task of constant control.

31．What do the underlined words "warm up to" probably mean in the last paragraph?

A．Apply to. B．Adapt to. C．Turn to. D．Keep to.

Foods high in sugar are unhealthy; but the additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or

reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them? A student team

has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds(味蕾) to produce a n of sweetness

without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving flavor-enhancing

cutlery(餐具) like chopsticks that increa sweetness with a mild electric current.

The five undergraduate and graduate rearch students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware

for people with disorders such as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.

The new spoon would have veral bumps(凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The

bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules(分子) called ligands. The ligands bond with

taste-cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can

activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a n of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate

sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.

This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all u cutlery to enhance taste without a ur

having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely

different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student rearchers, says. “It us bumps and taste-bud-stimulating

molecules rather than electricity.”

“The idea is very creative,” says Paola Almeida, who is the global director of corporate innovation at

candy maker Mars. But the product's commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift

among consumers: Instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, “now we're saying, ‘U this

cutlery,” Almeida says. “It remains to be en whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on.”

32．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．How the new invention works. B．How a diner feels sweetness.

C．How ligands and proteins link. D．How sugar molecules function

33．In what way is the previous flavor-enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware?

A．It makes food more delicious.

B．It nds out signals to the brain.

C．It us electricity to enhance taste.

D．It reduces urs' food consumption.

34．What is Paola Almeida's attitude to the future of Sugarware?

A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Critical. D．Worried.

35．What's the best title of the text?

A．Struggling for Low Sugar? -Try This Spoon

B．Looking for Delicious Food? -This Is How

C．Working for Commercial Success? -Be Creative

D．Dieting for Better Health? -Mind Sweeteners
