24、What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?

Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.

Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible.

The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. direct the way for B. take the place of

C. work better than  D. make use of

【2】Cars already have the following features EXCEPT ________.

A. parking itself

B. controlling its speed in dangerous situations

C. slowing itself down near an object

D. avoiding car accidents one hundred percent

【3】Scientists and engineers think that ________.

A. it’s possible to make safe self-driven cars

B. it’s a long way for self-driven cars

C. there will be no drivers in the future

D. self-driven cars may cause more accidents

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Advantages of self-driven cars.

B. Different opinions on self-driven cars.

C. Possibilities of self-driven cars.

D. Google’s new technology—self-driven cars.

25、We have all been there. It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. In fact, the more you try NOT to think about a square of deep, dark chocolate melting in your mouth, the more you want it. You can even smell it!

A food craving is a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Most people have them even though what we crave might be different. One person might crave sweet chocolate, while another might crave salty potato chips.

Sometimes the foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods. Or sometimes we crave foods from our childhoods, like American meatloaf, Polish pirogues or Vietnamese pho. Other times the cravings may be for something healthy but very specific, such as Japanese sushi or Korean kimchi.

But where do food cravings come from? And how are they different from hunger?

Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.”

The website explains that when our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone sends a message to one part of the brain, the hypothalamus, for more food. The hypothalamus (丘脑下部)regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then releases a chemical to start the appetite. And you eat.

A craving is more complicated. It involves several areas of the brain. These areas make up the reward center of the brain. A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.”

In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increase the probability of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time, lessened food cravings.

So, the next time you crave food from your childhood or have a strong desire for something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.

B．A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory.

【2】All of the following foods are mentioned EXCEPT ________.

C．Swiss black chocolate

D．American meatloaf

【3】What does the underlined word “fasting” probably mean in Paragraph 8?

A．eating no food for a period of time

B．happening, moving, or doing something at great speed

C．tightly and firmly

D．not changing your mind

【4】What can we learn about food cravings from the passage?

A．If you go on a diet, it’s more likely for you to crave food.

B．When we crave food, it shows that we are hungry.

C．We eat when our brain releases a chemical to start the appetite.

D．The foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods.

Hearing this, Jodie swept the tears in her eyes and a smile appeared on her face. “I get it, Mr.Swale.” Then she went back to the class and said proudly.
