Four interesting books in discount.BMatthew Layton was 20 minutes from home in Sevierville, Tennessee, on a cold November night in 2016 when he got a cell phone call from his mother. "The mountain’s on fire,” she screamed, “and Brian’s up there!”Layton’s family owned a dozen rental cabins(小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Layton’s friend and fellow rental-cabin owner, Brian McGee, age 56, was up there trying to put the fire out by himself. Layton, 32, hit the gas. He lived on the mountain too.Layton turned around and headed for a dirt road. He made it about halfway up the steep, winding path before his front-wheel-drive car gave up. He called McGee, who drove down in his pickup so they could fight the fire together.They headed first to Layton’s rental cabins. “I wanted to make sure our guests were gone. They were,” says Layton. At that point, he had a choice: try to save his cabins or resc ue people renting other cabins nearby. “On the moun tain, you don't have many locals. They’re mostly tourists who don’t know their way around,” he says.Over the next two hours, the two friends drove through the smoky mountain, knockingon doors and leadi ng panicked people to safety. “I know that mountain so well,” Layton says, “I could drive and know exactly where I am just by time traveled.” Thanks to their brave and immediate action, the two helped 14 people out of the danger.Fourteen people died that night in Sevier County. But the fire didn’t take away a single life on Shields Mountain. And though his home and business were destroyed, Layton remains calm. “I wasn’t worried about my loss, not when I saw those families trapped on the mountain,” he says,“I knew I was gonna help them.”24. Where was Layton when the fire broke out?A. Visiting his mother.B. Away from his home.C. Heading for the cabins.D. Driving on a dirt road.25. What can we learn from Para.2-3?A. Layton’s car broke down ha lfway.B. Brian was in charge of Layton’s cabins.C. Layton picked up Brian on the path.D. Brian lived in the mountain alone.26. Why could the two friends rescue the people?A. They put out the fire before it spread.B. They turned to locals for help.C. Layton was familiar with the area.D. Brian gave up his own cabins.27. What did Layton mean in the last paragraph?A. He blamed himself.B. He suffered a lot.C. He was relieved.D. He felt sorry.CIf your friends are happy—turns out you’re more likely to be happy too.If your friends are overweight, that too ups the chances you’ll gain weight. Those effects have been shown in studies. And now researchers have identified another seemingly contagious quality: exercise.The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million people worldwide who used an exercise tracking device(装置) for five years. And they used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network.Cities have different weather patterns, Sinan Aral, a computational social scientist at MIT says, this experiment allowed them to ask: Does a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? “If the weather in New York causes changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it can really only be happening through the influences of the friends who live between New York and San Diego.”And that is exactly what he and his colleague saw: that the behavior of one city’s runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city. Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around.Still, this could be valuable for health professionals. “We have to start thinking about consumers and citizens as networked consumers and citizens. Where they are influenced by and influence their social network in very strong ways, that will change the way a particular intervention(干涉) succeeds or fails.”In other words—if your prescription is more exercise? The doctors might want to write a prescription for your friends and family, too.28. Which does the underlined word “contagious” in Para. 1 mean?A. Affected.B. Excellent.C. Beneficial.D. Different.29. What can we conclude from the experiment?A. Weather changes people’s feelings.B. People’s behaviour affects each other.C. Exercise has something to do with weather.D. P eople’s connection depends on distance.30. What does “this” in Para. 5 refer to?A. Women are easier influenced by male runners.B. People in the same city affect each other more.C. Friends tend to influence each other in exercising.D. A rainy day in one city affects running in another.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Think twice before running.B. More exercise benefits health.C. Weather patterns affect running behavior.D. Healthy behavior can spread like illness.DMany Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif. , which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independentlives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.32. Wha t’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A. Curious.B. Doubtful.C. Indifferent.D. Optimistic.33. What is the modified Ford Fusion?A. A kind of autonomous vehicle.B. A fleet of driverless taxis.C. A road for driverless cars.D. A retirement community.34. What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A. Driverless cars’ disadvantages.B. Governments’ right decisions.C. Benefits to the aged and the disabled.D. The regulations are forward-thinking.35. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.阅读附加题：Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.1. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.2. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.3. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.4. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.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。
