一、閱讀理解

• 1．People in Brazil mark Carnival（狂歡節）every year and it is considered to be one of the most important national holidays.It is not about a big moment in history or a famous person，but it is important for the people because it is a time of friendship，freedom，and many days without work.People can choose between parties and rest.Most people choose parties，day after day，night after night.
     Carnival is celebrated forty days earlier than Easter，but it is not recognized by the church.It lasts four days and four nights.People put on their holiday clothes and go out into the streets or to clubs to enjoy themselves together.
     There are also some celebration activities.For instance，samba schools make a parade showing their music and beautiful cars.They are followed by people.Every year the parade tells a different story，and each city has one or more schools like this.
     In the south the celebration of Carnival comes back to normal by Wednesday.The problem is that it is not recognized by the church in the northwest where the Carnival is more traditional.There，people do not respect its end and continue to party until the next Sunday.
     Carnival is my favorite holiday，but I do not agree that the party should keep going.Like at other popular parties，people drink，dance and have fun.Unfortunately，some people are not very responsible and give it a bad name，leaving a bad impression of this holiday，but it is the only national holiday that brings the whole country and its different people and cultures together.
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is true？

  
  A．The Carnival is the most interesting holiday in Brazil.
  B．The Carnival is celebrated to honor a famous person.
  C．All of the people enjoy themselves in public places during the Carnival.
  D．People do not need to work during the Carnival in Brazil.
  （2）From this passage，we can infer that the Carnival

  .
  A．is a favored holiday in Brazil
  B．has a religious origin
  C．is when people miss their ancestors
  D．is when people present gifts to each other
  （3）What's the author's attitude to the Carnival？

  
  A．Objective.
  B．Negative.
  C．Positive.
  D．Indifferent.

二、書面表達

• 2．In 1989，fresh out of high school，I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months.In those days in Pakistan，there were limited choices：becoming a doctor or an engineer，or entering the financial world after getting a business degree.I wasn't interested in engineering，so that I was left with medicine or business.I couldn't decide.
     My uncle suggested that I do a work placement （實習） to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital.After that，I could make a decision.It seemed like a good idea.
     I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi.I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned，made new friends，and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.
     The month passed rapidly，and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi.The experience couldn't have been more different.The hospital had a stressful environment.The days started early （at 7 am，compared to 9 am at the bank），and were filled with endless duties.And the night calls!This was crazy，working all day，through the night，and again the next day.
     I began thinking about my two experiences.The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere，better working hours and less stress.The hospital was full of excitement，but the studying and training was difficult.It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.
     Near the end of my month at the hospital，I was driving home after an especially busy night call.In front of me was a public bus，with college students sitting on the top.As the driver weaved through （穿梭） traffic，I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
  注意：
  1.所續寫短文的詞數應為 150 左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
  Paragraph 1：
  Suddenly，a boy fell off the back of the bus._______
  Paragraph 2：
  The next day，when I went to the hospital to see the boy，all his family got up，with grateful smiles on their faces.________

三、信息匹配

• 3．Self-driving cars are believed to be the future of driving.Companies including Toyota，Uber and Google are all competing to be the first to bring them to the market.However，carmakers need to solve one problem first：（1）

  Most drivers today use gestures to show their intentions.They wave a car into a lane，or nod at passers-by and cyclists，to let them cross.（2）

  So what can they do？US carmaker Ford and its partner Virginia Tech think they have the answer，according to Business Insider.
     （3）

  For example，if a driverless car is giving way，it could flash two white lights side to side.A solid white light would tell people nearby that there are no humans in the car.A slow blinking light would show the car is coming to a stop.（4）

  To test the method on real roads，the team designed a special suit that looks exactly like a car seat.When a driver wears it，it looks like the car is driverless.
     The team successfully collected more than 1，500 hours of data after about 2，900 kilometres of "self-driving" through busy cities.（5）

  Ford says it plans to share the data with 11 other carmakers，according to DOGO News.Ford hopes that in the future，every carmaker will use the same system of signals.
  
  A.But self-driving cars don't have this ability.
  B.It's a test for the company's self-driving technology.
  C.The data recorded how people interacted with a driverless vehicle.
  D.How driverless cars communicate with passers-by，bikers and other drivers？
  E.A rapidly flashing light would tell passers-by that a car is about to speed up.
  F.More than one-third of them are worried about the safety of self-driving cars.
  G.The team is testing the method that uses light signals to show what self-driving cars are.
