12．In 1996，John Jones made an unusual discovery．He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend-a Confederate bank note，money issued （发行） by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War．When he was face to face with the picture，he couldn't believe his eyes：slaves happily picking cotton in their master's fields．
Jones grew up in South Carolina．He had heard painful stories of slavery from his greatgrandmother．The picture on the money did not match the history of African American slaves that he'd heard all his life．"I had never seen that type of picture on money before，"he said．
Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy．He started doing research．
Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life．During two years'search，Jones found more than 120 different bills．He discovered that the bills had several things in common．They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming．Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work．None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery．
Jones wanted to share what he had learned．"I wanted other people to see what I had seen，"he said．He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money．After three years of work，Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes （场景）．He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared．"The Color of Money"-an exhibit （展览） of his work-has toured the country．
Jones'paintings tell an important story about the South 150years ago．He likes to repeat the saying"The story is on the money．"In this case，the saying happens to be true．

32．How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money？D
A．Angry．B．Painful．C．Excited．D．Surprised．
33．Why did Jones do research on the money？C
A．He had never heard of Confederate money．
B．He wanted to learn about American history through it．
C．It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind．
D．His greatgrandmother told him some unusual stories about it．
34．What did Jones find？A
A．The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills．
B．About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War．
C．Slaves lived a harder life than he thought．
D．Slaves worked long hours on farms．
35．What's the best title for the text？A
A．Money Tells a Story
B．Confederate Money
C．African American Slaves
D．John Jones Changes America．

分析本文主要写了John Jones 美国的纸币图案感到惊讶于是展开了调查，发现纸币图案与现实生活完全不符的故事．

解答 32．D 推理判断题．根据句子When he was face to face with the picture，he couldn't believe his eyes：slaves happily picking cotton in their master's fields．当他面对这张图片时，他简直不敢相信自己的眼睛：奴隶们高兴地在主人的田地里摘棉花．可见应该是感到惊讶的"简直不相信自己的眼睛"，所以答案选D．
33．C 细节理解题．根据句子Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy．He started doing research．琼斯奇怪为什么奴隶们看起来这么高兴，他开始做研究．所以答案选C．
34．A 细节理解题．根据句子他发现的结果是None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery．没有一张钱币表现出奴隶的艰辛．所以答案选A．
35．A 标题归纳题．本文主要写了John Jones 美国的纸币图案感到惊讶于是展开了调查，发现纸币图案与现实生活完全不符的故事．所以答案选A．

20．Your next car might drive itself．After years of trials on city streets，driverless vehicles are now on the way．Last month，a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon，France．Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier．
Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars．But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas．Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars．Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits．
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent．That's big-the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year．Pollution and carbon emissions will drop，because urban driverless cars will be electric．

Dramatic changes are coming，and driverless cars could arrive by 2020．But governments have barely begun thinking about it．Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning．A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming．Now what about the driverless cars？

17．"Oh，my God!Did I really just send that text？"Most people have said something that they wish they could take back．And if they had paused to think about it first，they probably would have acted differently．Pausing doesn't pay off just when you speak．Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out．
In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain．One area creates and processes emotions； the other governs logical hought．The type of decision，how we feel about it，and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence．
But our age also plays an important role．Thinking through the consequences of one's actions is actualy harder for teens because the area controlling logical （逻辑的）thought is not fully developed until around age 25．This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively（冲动地）---it's how their brains are structured!Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations，impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas．This openness helps teens to become independent adults．
The key to making impulsivity work for you instead of against you is to train your brain by practicing pausing．This doesn't mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences．But you won't know if the risk is worth it until you think it through．Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control，not impulsivity．
What are different ways to pause？You might take a deep breath，count to 10，or ask"Is this worth it？"different strategies work for different people．Whatever works for you，keep doing it!By practicing pausing，you can actually change your brain．This means that over time，pausing，instead of immediately reacting，becomes your"natural"response．
And with this change，people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control---even if they weren't natural-born pausers!

28．What challenges teenagers？B
A．Giving natural response．
B．Making logical decision．
C．Acting before thorough thinking．
D．Choosing brain-training strategies．
29．An impulsive person tends toA．
A．consider or accept new ideas
B．change ideas frequently
C．think through a risk in advance
D．show high level of self-control
30．Accordig to the passage，by training one's brain，one canD．
A．stop taking risks
B．fully develop one's brain
C．become more open to new experience
D．reduce the influence of emotional drive
31．What is the best title for the passage？A
A．Push the Pause Button
B．Impulsivity Works
C．Discover the Brain Function
D．Crying Over the Spilt Milk．

4．Sometimes when I'm flying from one speaking engagement to another，I find myself sitting next to someone who's quite talkative．This is often a pleasant experience for me because I'm a people-watcher．I learn so much by watching and listening to the people I meet and see every day．I've heard stories of sadness and others of delight，fear and joy，and others that would rival those on"Oprah"and"Geraldo"．
Sad to say，there are times when I'm sitting next to someone who just wants to vent（发泄） his temper or inflict（强加）his political views on an audience for 600miles．It was one of those days．I settled in，as my seatmate began his speech on the terrible state of the world with the time worn，"You know，kids today are…"He went on and on，sharing vague notions of the terrible state of teens and young adults，based on watching the six o'clock news rather selectively．
When I gratefully got off that plane and finally made it to my hotel in Indianapolis，I bought the local paper and went to have dinner in the hotel．There，on an inside page，was an article I believe ought to have been the front-page headline news．
In a little Indiana town，there was a 15-year-old boy with a brain tumor．He was undergoing radiation and chemotherapy（化疗）treatments，As a result of those treatments，he had lost all of his hair．I don't know about you，but I remember how I would have felt about that at his age---I would have felt awkward and ashamed．
This young man's classmates willingly came to the rescue：all the boys in his grade asked their mothers if they could shave their heads so that Brian wouldn't be the only bald boy in the high school．There，on that page was a photograph of a mother shaving all of her sons'hair with the family looking on approvingly．And in the background，a group of similar bald young men．
No，I don't despair about kids today．

21．From the passage we can infer the author's job isB．
A．meeting talkative people
B．the commitments concerning speaking，like lecturers
C．a psychologist
D．to cope with complaints
22．The word"rival"in the first paragraph could best be replaced byD．
A．oppose
B．compete against
C．object to
D．match
23．What's the author's attitude towards his seatmate？B
A．Favorable．
B．Critical．
C．Indifferent．
D．Satisfied．
24．The author's purpose in telling the news about the 15-year-old boy isD．
A．to show his disappointment in kids today
B．to praise the diseased boy's bravery
C．to draw people's attention to care for such people
D．to display his confidence and faith in today's teens．
