Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.This is one of two schools in Richmond where the city has installed new enforcement cameras to catch speeders. Fitz Patrick has two children at the school. She is also a traffic safety advocate for the nonprofit Greater Richmond fit4KIDS, which is why she owns a radar gun(雷达测速器).Still, Fitz Patrick has mixed feelings about the speed cameras. She would rather see the whole street redesigned to discourage speeding and protect walkers and bicyclists. But she also knows that will not happen any time soon.The number of traffic deaths has risen sharply over the past decade, and safety advocates around the country are desperately searching for anything that will get drivers to slow down. But critics say speed cameras can be a financial burden on those who are least able to pay. Still, they have earned the support of important safety advocates, including onathan Adkins, the chief executive officer of the Governors Highway Safety Association.Police departments in many places have scaled down their traffic enforcement. Adkins says, and speeding and careless driving seem to be getting worse. He says automated cameras can help fill that blank. "The question is, how do we arrange them in a fair way with the public support?" Adkins said.No one likes getting a speeding ticket. But the objections to automated traffic enforcement go deeper than that. "It is doubtful that safety is the real goal," said Jay Beecher, with the National Motorists Association, a driver advocacy group."We need to make sure that our cities have all the tools that are effective to reduce traffic deaths," said Laura Friedman, a state lawmaker in California who sponsored the state law authorizing automated cameras. "We make sure it can't be a money grab, because the money can only be used for physical speed-lowering improvements on the same streets where you're using the cameras," she said. "So it's really about changing the culture and slowing traffic down."16. Fitz Patrick has a radar gun because____.A. she is a traffic safety advocateB. she has two children at the schoolC. she has new cameras to catch speedersD. she is a school headmaster in Richmond17. According to Paragraph 2, Fitz Patrick thinks that____.E. more speed cameras will soon be fixedF. redesigning the whole street is a better choiceG. state lawmakers should redesign speed camerasH. the newly-installed cameras encourage speeding

For this Yuan Longping won the Medal of the Republic, China's highest state honor, and the World Food Prize. He was 1 known as the Father of Hybrid Rice, and even an asteroid was 2 after him. Although he was famous, he chose to stay away from the spotlight and 3 himself to rice growing. His face was 4 by the sun and his big hands were 5 from "playing in the mud" all day.He was far happier in his short-sleeved work shirts, out in his rice field, than in a suit in some conference hall.

Those qualities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the machine would appear to be charming, and easygoing. Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intonate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own. Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend. An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal friendships. The machine would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user's life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer's own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.Which of the following is NOT a feature of the ideal companion machine?A.ctive in communication.B. Attractive in personality.C. Enjoyable in performance.D. Unpredictable in behaviour.

A new Pew Research poll shows that the cultural battle between rich and poor is as fierce as ever.Fully 66% of Americans believe there are 'strong' or 'very strong' conflicts between rich and poor in the U.S. That's way up from 47% in 2009.The rich-poor conflict now eclipses perceived conflicts over immigration. The poll found that 62% of respondents believed there was a strong conflict between immigrants and native-born Americans less than the 66% for rich-poor.What's more, Americans remain highly skeptical of the way the rich in America get rich. According to the poll, 46% of respondents believe the wealthy got wealthy 'because they were born with money or they knew the right people.'Only 43% of Americans believe that 'hard work, ambition or education' are the reasons the rich got rich.Of course, these qestions could have been phrased more precisely. Getting rich through an inheritance is very different from getting rich by making the right connections and relationships in life （clearly a part of any rich-person's journey）. They should be separated as wealth causes.And the numbers are about the same as they were in 2009, meaning that while class-warfare may be at an all-time high, Americans' actual perceptions of the rich haven't changed much.Yet their opinions are still fairly negative, since more Americans believe the rich owe their fortunes to their parents or clubby social circles rather than hard work, ambition or education. This skeptical view is most pronounced among the young, or those between the ages of 18 and 34.Republicans believe in the 'hard work' path more than Democrats （their responses are almost mirror opposites）. And men generally fall into the 'hard work' camp more than women.The results highlight just how conflicted Americans are about the rich. Most studies show that more than two-thirds of today's millionaires made it themselves, rather than from inheritance. And clearly education and skills matter in making a fortune in the knowledge economy.The new Pew Research poll tells us that .A.the conflict between rich and poor becomes not so appear.B.more people believe there is a conflict between rich and poor.C.there is no conflict between immigrants and native-born AmericansD.the cultural conflict between rich and immigrants is as fierce as ever.What does the word "eclipses" （ line 1, para 3） mean? A.To make something disappear graduallyB.To make something much more influentialC.To make something seem more obvious.D.To make something appear dull by comparison.What can we learn from the results of most studies ? A.Most of the rich people made their fortune on their own.B.Most of today's millionarires became rich through inheritance.C.Education is not as important fro people when making a fortune.D.The current economy does not value education very much.
