2． At a conference on self-driving cars，Mike Harp，a government official，asked a seemingly simple question about what happens when his own car meets a driverless vehicle."If I honk（按喇叭），will it do any good？"Harp wanted to know.Unfortunately，manufacturers didn't have an answer."We haven't reached that point of deciding how and whether it would be appropriate for vehicles to react and in which way to honking，"said one of jye.aim.The brief exchange highlights a thorn in the side of automakers and policymakers alike：Self-driving cars will have to share the road with human drivers，likely for decades to come.Those vehicles must therefore respond and adapt to the peculiarities and mistakes of humans behind the wheel.
Self-driving technology has already come a long way.Cars being tested on the road today use cameras and radar，for example，to detect the movements of nearby cyclists and pedestrians.There are already driver-assist technologies built into some cars that monitor the speed of vehicles around you，detect potential accidents before they occur，and automatically slow or stop the car to avoid a wreck.In a world where all cars drive themselves，the technology could operate at peak efficiency.Supporters of self-driving cars say that speed limits could be raised and fatal crashes largely avoided as no traffic laws are broken and poor drivers become a thing of the past.
But the change to driverless vehicles is expected to be gradual，and will likely start with ride-sharing services，as the costs of personally owning a self-driving car remain extremely high.That means man and machine will have to play nice on roadways."There are so many interesting situations，"such as honking a horn，Harp said.When"another car with a driver meets a self-driving car without a driver in there and they realize that，it will frighten some people.How that's going to be dealt with will be part of the fun part of this process."
Any driver can tell you that driving involves a lot of social interaction，particularly the hand gestures and eye contact of fellow drivers.Much of that interaction between drivers will eventually be digital as cars increasingly collect data and share it with the vehicles around them.If a car speeds up，slows down or prepares for a stop，for example，that would be communicated immediately and electronically to the other vehicles on the road.Like self-driving technology，however，it will be years before the vehicle-to-vehicle communication is common.
That challenge is being taken into account as driverless vehicles are tested on public roads.But the honking issue is particularly tricky because it's subject to interpretation.It's going to be really hard for a driverless vehicle，even if it hears the honk，to figure out what that honk means.
（1）In paragraph 1，"a thorn"refers to.
A．the issue that human drivers have peculiarities and make mistakes
B．the prediction that self-driving cars will be common in the future
C．the fact that driverless cars co-exist with cars driven by humans
D．the technology that ensures driverless cars are safe on the road
（2）Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？
A．Most people don't advocate self-driving technology.
B．Inter-vehicle communication is superior to inter-personal interaction.
C．Social interaction will decrease among drivers behind the wheel.
D．More data is needed to make self-driving technology a reality much sooner.
（3）Which example is used to illustrate that self-driving technology is not something new？
A．A car communicates its speed to the other vehicles.
B．A driverless car is likely to frighten human drivers.
C．Speed limits are raised in a world of self-driving cars.
D．Car cameras and radar are used to detect moving people.
（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？
A．The simple question about self-driving cars we still can't answer
B．A golden opportunity for driverless cars we can't afford to miss
C．Hidden secrets of self-driving cars we can't reveal
D．Potential risks of driverless cars we can't ignore組卷：72引用：1難度：0.5 -

Indonesia has the largest number of Chinese teachers sent from Guangdong，who mainly work in kindergartens，schools and universities founded by overseas Chinese．They usually spend one to two years on the foreign assignment． "Those days in Indonesia made me feel very appreciated．The local people have respect for Chinese teachers，" Xie said．She keeps in touch with her Indonesian students through the Internet． "If I had the opportunity to go to Indonesia to teach again，I would be very happy to see the children improve their Chinese，" Xie said．

4．In the Stone Age，people didn't need to find salt．They were hunting a lot of their food，and eating a lot of red meat．Red meat has plenty of salt in it，and naturally，people at that time didn't have to go and find extra salt．But when people began to farm，about 10，000 BC，they started to eat mainly grains like rice and very little meat．Then they really needed another way to get salt．People sprinkled（灑） salt on different kinds of food，because there were no refrigerators．
The earliest evidence we have for people producing salt comes from northern China，where people seem to have been harvesting salt from a salt lake by 6，000 BC and maybe earlier．
By about 4，500 BC，Central Asian people along the shores of the Caspian Sea were mining rock salt underground．This is the earliest known salt mine in the world．
By 800 BC，Chinese written records tell us that people in China were producing salt by boiling ocean salt water until the salt was left．About the same time，in Europe，the Indo-European Celts（凱爾特人）were mining salt underground in modern Austria，Hungary，southern Cermany and Poland．
By 252 BC，a Chinese governor named Li Bing also worked out how to mine salt．Men dug deep wells down to where there were natural underground salt water pools，and took the salty water out．
Because everyone needed salt，but only a few people could produce it，salt was something everybody bought．Governments，therefore，began to tax it to raise a lot of money．Both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty，in China，got a lot of their money from the salt trade．About 1，000 AD，businessmen brought salt across the desert on the backs of the camels．The businessmen used the salt to buy slaves and goods from West Africa．Then they forced the slaves to mine even more salt．
（1）People in the Stone Age didn't have to find salt because．
A．they ate lots of red meat which contains salt
B．they didn't know how to preserve food
C．they couldn't adapt to the taste of salt
D．they gave meat to others in exchange for salt
（2）According to the passage，how did the Central Asian people get salt？
A．By boiling ocean salt water
C．By taking salt water from salt water pools
C．By harvesting salt from a salt lake
D．By mining rock salt underground
（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A．Many people couldn't afford to buy salt
B．Salt once functioned as money in ancient times
C．Salt was the main source of economy in the Tang Dynasty
D．West Africa learned how to mine salt from China．組卷：9引用：1難度：0.7 -
5．With Heavenly Lake as the center，the Heavenly Lake and Tianshan Mountains Scenic Area consists of four mountain landscape belts，which covers a total area of 380.69 square kilometers.In the mountains by Heavenly Lake，there live many precious plants and animals，such as snow cocks and roe deer.The tops of the mountains are even home to contemporary glaciers and rich in resources such as copper，iron and mica.
Ideal Sightseeing Season：August and September

Note：
There is an obvious difference in temperature from day and in night in Xinjiang and temperature in some scenic spots is probably lower due to the high elevation or weather change.Therefore，it is still necessary to take along a coat or woolen sweater to keep warm during the summer.
Located in the northwest，Xinjiang has a lower average temperature than that in most areas of China，but ultraviolet irradiation in it is commonly higher.The highest temperature in some cities such as Turpan can reach above 40 degree Centigrade，so it is suggested to take along effective sun block and some medicine in case of sunburn and sunstroke prevention.
Xinjiang is a region of an ethnic minority with a common belief of Islam.Pork is one of the biggest taboos for Muslims，so please do NOT bring porky food into a Muslim restaurant or talk about pork in public areas.
Although most areas of Xinjiang are located in UTC+6，Beijing Time（UTC+8，national standard time of China）is officially used in Xinjiang.Due to the time difference of two hours later，sightseeing in Xinjiang is usually arranged between Beijing Time 09：00 and 20：00.
