They only take control in emergencies. Otherwise, they make observations that help the company's engineers improve the driverless cars.The driverless cars already have covered more than 2 million miles in six years of testing on private tracks, on highways and city streets. The vehicles have travelled more than half that distance in automated mode (自动模式),with one test driver in place to take control of the car if the technology fails or a potentially dangerous situation arises. Meanwhile, another driver sits in the front passenger seat taking notes of the problems that need to be fixed.The job of the test driver requires a sense of adventure, something Torcellini acquired when he began to surf in high school. His other hobbies include fishing and scuba-diving.While the engineers who are programming the robot cars have technical backgrounds, most of the test drivers don't. Torcellini worked in a bookstore. He dreamed of becoming a writer. He ended up at Google in 2009. Espinosa, 27, was working in a bicycle shop before he was hired as a test driver two years ago. Stephanie Villegas, 28, was a swim instructor, before becoming a test driver. Other test drivers were former soldiers and former photographers. They all share at least one thing in common: spotless driving records. Besides this, the job also requires a combination of good judgement, patience and fearlessness.Before they are entrusted (托付) with the cars,Google's test drivers must complete three-week training courses. The drivers are taught to take control of the robot car whenever there is any moment of doubt or danger.Google employs “dozens” of test drivers but won't reveal the precise number. California law requires two test drivers per vehicle.21.What do you know about Brian Torcellini?A.He is in charge of a crew of test drivers.B.He used to be a swim instructor.C.He led a secret Google project.D.He has technical backgrounds.22.The driver sitting in the front passenger seat is responsible for .A.fixing the car problemsB.driving in emergenciesC.recording the car problemsD.monitoring the car driver23.We can infer that .A.Stephanie Villegas is interested in scuba-divingB.Brian Torcellini is very fond of literatureC.Espinosa is an excellent cyclist in CaliforniaD.driverless cars are very popular in California24.The underlined word “this” refers to “”.A.having good judgementB.having clean driving recordsC.breaking the traffic rulesD.having technical backgroundsⅥ.完形填空I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her 25to pay, the cashier 26 her by name and asked her how she was doing.The woman 27, shook her head and said:“Not so 28. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old 29 again. The truth is, I don't know how I'm going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps (食品券).My heart 30. I wanted to help but didn't know how. As I walked into the parking lot, I 31 the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her.

It sounds like you're going through a really hard time 37. I'm so sorry. I'd like to give you something.” I handed her the small 38 from my purse.When the woman read the only two words“You Matter” on it, she began to 39. And through her tears, she said:“You have no idea how much this 40 to me.”A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as 41 for a project I was 42.

Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could li ve to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all.

In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen.

Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was their parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks."They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. "A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."underlined expression "parental involvement" in Paragraph 1 probablymeans .' expectation on children's health' participation in children's education' control over children's life' plan for children's futureis the major finding of Robinson's study?parents raise children in a more scientific way.kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.involvement is not so beneficial as expected.are not able to help with children’s homework.example of Asian-American parents implies that parentsshould .children realize the importance of schoolinga specific life goal for their childrenmore time improving their own livesa more active part in school management14、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。

外研版高中英语必修四备课Module 1 Life in the future素材垃圾分类
垃圾分类为什么要实行垃圾分类我们每个人每天都会扔出许多垃圾，您知道这些垃圾它们到哪里去了吗？它们通常是先被送到堆放场，然后再送去填埋。
垃圾填埋的费用是高昂的，处理一吨垃圾的费用约为200元至300元人民币。
而仅北京市日产垃圾就有12000吨，目前面积在36平方米以上的垃圾堆在北京五环路以内有700多处，占地500多万平方米，每年在3-5%的速度增加。
人们大量地消耗资源，大规模生产，大量地消费，又大量地产生着废弃物。
垃圾增多的原因是人们生活水平的提高，各项消费增加了。
据统计，1979年全国城市垃圾的清运量是2500多万吨，1996年城市垃圾的清运量是1.16一吨，是1979年的4倍。
这么大量的垃圾需要把多少土地变成填埋场？占地60公顷，日处理量为2000吨的阿苏卫填埋场仅能处理北京六分之一的垃圾，且在第11个年头就会被填满。
被废弃的垃圾填埋场不复为耕地，也无法建成生活小区。
目前，被西方国家广泛应用的另一种垃圾处理方法就是焚烧。
经过高温焚化后的垃圾虽然不会占用大量的土地，但它不仅投资惊人，并且会增加二次污染的风险。
二恶英这令人谈"恶"色变的剧毒致癌物质，就是垃圾焚烧后产生的主要气体成分之一。
此外，无论填埋还是焚烧，都是对资源无谓的浪费，我们不断地把有限的地球资源变成垃圾，又把他们埋掉或烧掉，我们将来的子孙在哪里生存？难道我们对待垃就束手无策了吗？其实，办法是有的，这就是垃圾分类。
垃圾分类就是在源头将垃圾分类投放，并通过分类的清运和回收使之重新变成资源。
垃圾分类的好处是显而易见的。
垃圾分类后被送到工厂而不是填埋场，既省下了土地，又避免了填埋或焚烧所产生的污染，还可以变废为宝。
垃圾分类对于一向勤俭持家的中国人并不陌生。
也许你还记得五六十年代回收废品的情景：牙膏皮攒起来回收，橘子皮用来制药，生物垃圾用来做堆肥，废布头，墨水瓶等等都能得到再利分类后的垃圾，既避免了垃圾公害，又为工农业提供了原料。

She is here to tell us about her time in Kansas in the city of Manhattan.What were the best things about it?Manhattan has a great university feel to it. I loved going to the football games. We would spend the whole day tailgating (开车尾派对) outside the stadium, drinking beer and having a big barbecue.What do you think of the people there?People from Kansas are so friendly. However, I'd say that many Kansans are very sheltered and don't pay much attention to life outside the US. But as the grandma of my Kansan friend might say, “We're still sweet as pie.”What were the worst things about being there?It's very difficult to get around Kansas without a car. Everything's so spread out and there isn't really a public transportation system.What was the funniest thing that happened while you were there?I remember one trip I took with my friend to her grandparents' house. They had horses and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. I had never ridden a horse before but I decided to have a try. I hopped (跳上) on and everything was fine for a minute. But then the horse went crazy. It started bucking (猛然弯背跃起) and making these crazy noises. I thought I was going to die. My friend eventually calmed the horse down but not before I had destroyed an entire section of the fence. I thought they would be mad but they were just in shock — they couldn't believe I had stayed on the horse for that long.Did you have any other problems?I'm Swedish, but my English is pretty good because my dad's English. But it took a little while to get used to the accent. The people from the cities don't have a strong accent, but the people from the country are hard to understand sometimes. You also have to be careful with the weather. In the winter it was absolutely freezing, and during the summer it was so hot I thought I might die. Of course, they have heating and air conditioning everywhere.语篇解读：本文是一则访谈。
