In the first days f the New Year, a pht frm Ri's traditinal firewrks shw n Cpacabana Beach has spread like wildfire n Brazilian scial netwrks—a sht f a little by, alne, wading int the water, separated frm the jyful crwd celebrating and taking pictures behind him. Arms crssed, he stares up wide-eyed and pen-muthed at the firewrks in the sky.
Despite the absence f any infrmatin abut the child ther than his age 9, the image Lucas Landau sht fr Reuters news agency has sparked tens f thusands f shares and cmments n scial media, newspaper articles, blg psts and a natinal debate abut race, class and inequality. T sme, it's just a pht f a yung black by attracted by the spectacular New Year's Eve firewrks. Peple need t stp thinking that all black bys, withut shirts n, are abandned, sad, alne and unhappy.

Abut half f Brazil's ppulatin f 200 millin is identified as mixed-race/black, secnd nly t Nigeria. But black and mixed-raced Brazilians are under-represented in academia, plitics and leadership rles.

Fr Luiz August Camps, a scilgist at Ri State University, the wide-ranging interpretatins f the pht, as well as the explsive debate it generated, represent a changing tide fr Afr-Brazilians. “The fact that it's becme s prblematic is a reflectin f a cmplex transitin in terms f race in Brazil,” he said, adding that 20 r 30 years ag, the pht wuld have stirred few r n cncerns abut whether it strengthened negative steretypes(刻板印象).
“These changes are still relatively small in Brazil, but they have the lng-term bjective f dissciating the ideas f blackness and pverty,” Camps said.

C.The Afr-Brazilians shuld fight fr their rights.
D.The Afr-Brazilians have successfully raised their scial status.

Research has shwn that nearly 90 percent f traffic accidents are caused by human errrs. S ur aim is a fully autnmus car that gets rid f the cause f mst accidents: the driver. Researcher Hdgsn pints ut, “Fr safety, the faster yu can remve humans, the better, even if there are unfrtunately a few accidents frm new causes. It's a questin f balancing the number injured r killed by autnmus vehicles with the peple whse lives are ptentially saved.”
It's an idea that Eln Musk, chief executive f electric car cmpany Tesla Mtrs, has lng believed. His cmpany are determined t be the first t deliver a fully autnmus vehicle t cnsumers.

The UK gvernment appears t encurage the develpment f autnmus vehicles. It's supprting fur city trials, publishing the Mdern Transprt Bill t reduce red tape arund their intrductin and adapting the legal system t take int accunt prblems such as insurance liability when a human isn't in cntrl f a vehicle.
The insurance industry is similarly eager t help increase autnmy in cars. As the Assciatin f British Insurers (ABI) pints ut, “Mre than 90 percent f rad accidents are caused by human errrs.” This csts mtr insurers a shcking ￡20m per day in claims.
12.What difficulty des the cmpany Tesla Mtrs have?

B.The cmpany lacks cnfidence t make new creatins.
C.The sftware shuld be made fficially acceptable.

A.Ambiguus. B.Psitive.
C.Cautius. D.Disapprving.
14. What is the main idea f the last paragraph?
A.Insurance cmpanies wuld like t supprt autnmus cars.
B.Human mistakes may be the key cause f traffic accidents.
C.Traffic accidents wastes insurance cmpanies quite a lt.
D.Mtrists are surprised t hear abut autnmus cars.
15.What is the authr's purpse in writing the text?

阅读下面短文，根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Diamnds were made millins and millins f years ag when burning vlcanes melted the element called “carbn” inside sme rcks. Huge masses f earth pressed the carbn tightly. The ht melted carbn was pressed s tightly that by the time it cled, it had changed int the hard gemstnes called “diamnds”.
Sme diamnds are fund in the stne and sand near rivers. Others are left in muntains by glaciers. Mst diamnds are mined frm rcks deep undergrund, mstly in Africa. The cuntry f Suth Africa is the majr surce f diamnds used in jewellery. Kimberley, Suth Africa, is hme t the wrld’s largest diamnd mine, als knwn as the “Big Hle.”
Diamnds usually lk like pieces f glass r dull stnes when they’re first taken ut f the grund. They must be cut and shaped t be used in jewellery. And diamnds are s hard that nthing can cut them except anther diamnd. Using diamnd-edged tls, the diamnd cutter carefully shapes and plishes the diamnd s that it has straight edges and smth surfaces. These edges and surfaces help the diamnd reflect light s that it shines with tiny bursts f clur.
Diamnds ften seem t shine like white fire. But there are diamnds that have ther clurs. Red, blue, and green diamnds are difficult t find. Yellw, range, and vilet (紫罗兰) diamnds are mre cmmn. Smetimes peple even find black diamnds. Black diamnds are amng the mst ppular f clred diamnds.
Only the clearest diamnds end up in nice shps. But because f their hardness, even dull-lking diamnds are still valuable as cutting tls. These are called “industrial diamnds”. Only abut 25 percent f all diamnds are fine enugh t becme jewels, s mst f the wrld’s diamnds are the hard-wrking industrial nes. They are f great imprtance in the mdern metalwrking and mining industries.
