I can still remember the afternoon when we climbed the mountain as if it were yesterday.

On the way back down, my uncle asked me a question, (23) _____ left me speechless for a second: “What’s your dream,young lady?”
“I have no idea,” I answered (24) _____thinking it for a while. Then he smiled and told me about his story. He didn’t perform well at school when he was a student. Although nobody thought he could succeed, he knew clearly (25) ______his dream was-----to be a businessman. “I knew I wasn’t gifted when it came to studying, so I tried to buy snacks from a market and sell them after class,” he told me.

Imagine an urban neighborhood where most of the cars are self-driving. What would it be like
to be a pedestrian?
Actually, pretty good. In fact, pedestrians might end up with the run of the place.
In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard-Ball
looks at the __31__of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are “autonomous” or self-driving.
It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.
“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to __32__ travel behavior,” Millard-Ball says. He
uses game theory to __33__ the interactions between pedestrians and self-driving vehicles, with a
focus on yielding at crosswalks.
Because autonomous vehicles are by design risk-averse, Millard-Ball's model suggests that pedestrians will be able to act with impunity, and he thinks autonomous vehicles may facilitate a
shift towards pedestrian-oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard-Ball also finds that the
__34__ of autonomous vehicles may be hampered by their strategic disadvantage that slows them
down in urban traffic.
“Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,”Millard-Ball writes. Crossing the street,
even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are the
odds of survival?
The benefit of crossing the street __35__, instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded off
against the probability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested in
running them down -- usually. But there is the chance a driver may be __36__, or drunk.
Self-driving cars are __37__ to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestrians
to cross. They could provide the most __38__ transformation in urban transportation systems. Parking, street design, and transportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his
latest study, Millard-Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self-driving cars -- avoiding
__39__ of traffic and traffic accidents -- may be outweighed by the drawbacks of an always play-it-safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.
“From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with __40__ five-year-old children,” Millard-Ball writes.
Alternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian-oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.
III. Reading Comprehension (45%)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B，C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Everybody loves to hate invasive species. The international list of invasive species—defined as those that were introduced by humans to new places, and then __41__ — runs to over 4,000. In Australia and New Zealand hot war is fought against introduced creatures like cane toads (蔗蟾蜍) and rats.
Some things that are uncontroversial(⽆争议的) are nonetheless foolish. With a few important exceptions, campaigns to
__42__ invasive species are merely a waste of money and effort — for reasons that are partly practical and partly philosophical.
Start with the practical arguments. Most invasive species are neither terribly successful nor very__43__. Britons think themselves surrounded by foreign plants. __44__, Britain’s invasive plants are not widespread, not spreading especially quickly, and often less of a(n) __45__ than vigorous native plants. The arrival of new species almost always __46__ biological diversity (多样性) in a region; in many cases, a flood of newcomers drives no native species to extinction. One reason is that invaders tend to colonise __47__ habitats like polluted lakes and post-industrial was teland, where little else lives. They are nature’s opportunists.
The philosophical reason for starting war on the invaders is also __48__. Elimination campaigns tend to be __49__ by the belief that it is possible to restore balance to nature —to return woods and lakes to the state before human __50__. That is misguided. Nature is an everlasting mess, with species constantly emerging, withdrawing and hybridizing (杂交). Humans have only quickened these processes. Going back to ancient habitats is becoming __51__ in any
case, because of man-made climate change. Taking on the invaders is a(n) __52__ gesture, not a means to an achievable end.
A reasonable attitude to invaders need not imply passivity. A few foreign species are truly __53__ and should be fought: the Nile perch – a fish, has helped drive many species of fish to extinction in Lake Victoria. It makes sense to __54__ pathogens(病菌), especially those that destroy whole native tree species, and to stop known agricultural pests from gaining a foothold. Fencing off wildlife reserves to create open-air ecological museums is fine, too. And it is a good idea for European gardeners to destroy Japanese plants, just as they give no apace to native harmful grasses like bindweed and ground elder. You can garden in a garden. You cannot garden __55__. That is universally accepted.
