Martin Strel is a swimmer, best known for swimming the world's big rivers. He was born in 1954. He taught himself to swim when he was six and became a professional (职业的) swimmer in 1978. Martin holds Guinness World Records for swimming the Danube River, the Mississippi River, the Yangtze River and the Amazon River.

Of all his achievements, the greatest is his Amazon River swim. The Amazon is known as the largest and most dangerous river in the world. Several swimmers had tried to swim it, but all failed. Martin decided to go all out and make history. He wanted to show the world that people could achieve their dreams with hard work and perseverance (毅力). On April 7th, 2007, Martin Strel completed his Amazon River all the way from Atalaya (Peru) to the Atlantic Ocean at Belem (Brazil). He struggled (奋战)with the river for 66 days and swam 3, 274 miles in total. He became a worldwide hero.

Many people still cannot believe what he has done so far, so that is why they sometimes describe him as "Fishman", "Human Fish" or even "the Craziest Man in the World".

In 2009, American filmmakers produced a documentary (纪录片) called Big River Man. And the book, The Man Who Swam the Amazon, has been sold in many countries. It tells us an inspirational story of perseverance and hard work, which has encouraged many people.

Martin doesn't swim for money. Instead, he swims to teach people about the importance of keeping water clean.

Martin has always been looking for the challenges (挑战)of the impossible. What is his next?

38. How did Martin learn to swim when he was little?

A. By watching his partners. B. By learning from a coach.  

C. By teaching himself.   D. By watching other swimmers

39. What does the underlined word "'inspirational" mean in Paragraph 4?

A. 鼓舞人心的   B. 心灰意冷的  C. 栩栩如生的       D. 有吸引力的

40. According to the text, which is the purpose of Martin swimming the big rivers?

A. To make a lot of money for a good living.

B. To set an example of taking on challenges.

C. To produce exciting documentaries and best-selling books.

Driverless cars are coming. Such cars will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could reduce pollution. But how should driverless cars deal with emergencies (紧急情况)? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes (刹车)on this technology, a new study concludes.

To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some walkers in the road. Even with braking, it's too late to avoid a crash. So the car's artificial intelligence (人工智能)must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the walkers, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into busy traffic? What if such choices would likely kill the car's passengers?

Researchers used online surveys to study people's attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. People mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. But there is a problem. Those same surveyed people also want to protect passengers at all costs—even if the walkers would now end up dying.

"Driverless cars can completely change transportation'', says Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral problem that could slow its acceptance.

"Makers of driverless cars are in a hard situation, Bonnefbn's group warns. Most buyers would want their cars to be designed to protect themselves first. However, rules might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers.

The expert Kurt Gray thinks that even if all driverless cars are designed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those cars might be dangerous to walkers on rare occasions. But they won't speed, won't drive drunk while driving, which would be a win for society.

42. The underlined word “challenge" in Paragraph 2 refers to __________.

A. people's negative attitudes towards driverless cars

B. how driverless cars reduce traffic accidents

C. the technical problems that driverless cars have    

D. how driverless cars deal with emergencies

43. According to the text, online surveys show that ________________.

A. driverless cars artificial intelligence needs improvement  

B. the busy traffic may be a problem for driverless cars

C. people have a moral problem about driverless cars   

D. driverless cars should be designed to protect drivers

44. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?

A. Rules are in support of drivers.     B. Most people dislike driverless cars now.

C. Driverless car makers are in a hard situation.  D.The benefits of driverless cars are introduced.

45. What is Kurt Gray's attitude toward driverless cars?

A. Favorable.    B. Doubtful.    C. Surprised.      D. Scared.

Once upon a time, a sage (贤人) was passing through a street of the capital city of a kingdom. While he was walking, he noticed a coin on the side of the road and picked it up. The sage was used to living a simple life and had no use of that coin, so he thought of giving it to the one who was in need of it.

He strolled (漫步) around the streets throughout the day but didn’t find such a person. At night he reached a rest area and spent his night there.

The next morning, he woke up and was doing his daily activities. King who was passing by that rest area saw him and ordered his soldiers to stop there.

King went to the sage and said, “Great Sage! Today, I will fight with another state so that my kingdom can be expanded. Please bless me to be victorious …”

After thinking, the sage took out the coin he was holding on and gave it to the king. The king was confused and annoyed about this, so he asked, “Why did you give me this coin? What’s the meaning of this?”

The sage explained, “Oh, great King! I found this coin yesterday while strolling around the streets of your capital. But I had no use of it, so I decided that I would donate it to someone needy. The whole day I walked around meeting people in the city. With whomever, I communicated, found that they are living happily and satisfied with whatever they have and because of that I still keep this coin. Today, the king of this state, still has the greedy desire(贪欲) to gain more and isn’t satisfied with what he already has. So I feel like a person who needs this coin most is you.”

The king realized his mistake. He thanked the sage for the precious life lesson and gave up the planned war.

56. What would the king and his soldiers do that day?

___________________________________________________________________________________

57. How did the king feel when the sage gave the coin to him?
