Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. How could you make it happen?”
The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.
What did the king do after he got the two falcons?

A．He kept them on the branch of a tree.

B．He sent them to a farmer in the forest.

C．He made the best falconer train them to fly.

D．He set them free and let them fly in the sky.

Why did the king call all his falconers together?

A．Because he wanted to get more falcons.

B．Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.

C．Because he wanted them to see his falcons.

D．Because he wanted to know more about his falcons.

Who finally made the other falcon fly in the sky?

A．The king.	B．The king’s son.
C．The farmer.	D．The best falconer.

How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky?

A．Excited.	B．Moved.
C．Worried.	D．Relaxed.

What is the best title for the text？

A．The Wise King	B．The Nice Falcons

Have you ever seen a car without a driver？It sounds crazy，but these computer﹣driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you．Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars，and the technology is there．

So how？The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road．Road signs are read by cameras，and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go．All you have to do is type in the address! Finally，a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up，stop and turn．

Sound like your idea of heaven？Sitting back，looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while‘driving' would be possible with this new technology．You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going．In addition，computers would also drive more safely than people﹣they would obey the rules and have quicker reaction times when in dangerous situations．

However，there are many drawbacks of driverless cars．Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions：if a child ran into the road，would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers？Moreover，I personally find driving fun﹣I'd miss never driving a car myself．There would also be many other decisions to be made﹣should children，or drunk people，be allowed in a driverless car by themselves？Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times？

I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car﹣but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads．

42．When using a driverless car，you need only 　　．

A．read the road signs carefully

B．check the cameras

C．put the address into the computer

D．remember the directions

43．The third paragraph mainly tells us about the 　　of driverless cars．

A．instructions

B．standards

C．advantages

D．tests

44．The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means "　　"．

A．possibly

B．successfully

C．especially

D．naturally

45．What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars？　　

A．They'll use less energy．

B．They'll be less expensive．

C．They'll cause more accidents．

D．They'll run much faster．

More Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public，allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations．

But for some students，including Wang Ling，21，in Sun Yat﹣sen University，this practice has caused headaches．"Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading，"said Wang．

"They sometimes even bring their kids along，and take photos as if it were a place of interest．"

Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times．Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China．

However，this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public．They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior．

Chen Jie，18，a student in Tongji University，is one who would be against opening to the public．"I have been to a public library before．People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read，"Chen said．She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her．"If too many strangers stay here，the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly，"she said．

Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries？Some experts consider that university libraries can stop the public from entering certain areas．"We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students，"said Zhu Lina，library director in Jinan University．

Working together with the community library is another solution（解决方法）．"It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet，"Ge Jianxiong，the library director in Fudan University said．"We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home．"

38．We can see from the passage that Wang Ling 　　．
