to many more forms of information than ever before in human history---social media,” Oren Segal, director of the anti-defamation (诽谤) league’s Center on Extremism in the US, told Newsweek.

According to Segal, racist groups introduce people to “hate” by finding ways to communicate with them online. And Paul Becker, a sociology professor at the University of Dayton, US, believes that some young people may even be using this to fill a “void (空虚感)” in their life. “These groups provide a place to belong, and give their lives a goal or purpose,” he told The Atlanta Journal---Constitution.

Meanwhile, the changing of the US population structure is causing concern for some people after experts predicted that minority groups in the US could become the majority by 2050, leading to discontent and anger, according to Newsweek.

May 28th Google said it would build 100 driverless cars. It is the next stage in its apparent pursuit to be as common on the road as on computer screens.

People have dreamed about driverless motoring since at least the 1930s, but only in recent years have car-makers such as Mercedes-Benz and Volvo given the matter more thought, equipping test cars with the sensors (传感器) and complicated software required to pass through busy roads. Google has roared ahead by designing a driverless car from the ground up.

But bringing autonomous motoring to the world is proving harder than Google had imagined. It once promised it by 2017. Now it does not see production models coming out before 2020. The technology is far advanced, but needs shrinking in size and cost—Google's current test cars, are said to be packed with $80,000-worth of equipment.

Google's latest efforts may have as much to do with convincing the public and law makers as improving the technology. The firm stresses the safety advantages of computers being more likely than humans to avoid accidents. The cars w ill have a top speed of just 25mph and a front end made of soft foam(泡沫) to cushion careless pedestrians. The benefits could indeed be huge. Driving time could be given over to working, sleeping or brow sing the web. How ever, the issue of liability (问责) in the event of a driverless car crashing has yet to be resolved.

Turning cars into products may not be good new s for traditional car-makers. But reinventing motoring as a service fits neatly with Google's plans to become as big in hardware as in software. And unlike car firms,

which talk vaguely of becoming “mobility providers”, Google has pots of cash to make that a reality and no worries about disturbing its current business. Google admits it still has “lots of work to do”. But one day Googling to the shops may be a common activity. 32. What ’s Google ’s next goal?

A. To become a tech giant in computer.

B. To beat Mercedes-Benz and Volvo in car making. C. To cut down the cost of making cars. D. To get autonomous cars on the road.

33.All the benefits of driverless cars are mentioned EXCEPT . A. They can protect careless passers -by from severe injury B. There’s no problem with liability in case of a crash C. Drivers can be otherwise engaged on the road

D. With computers controlling the car, more accidents can be avoided

34. What difficulty is Google faced with at present? A. Technology

B. Competition

C. Finance

D. Promotion

35. What might be the best title of the passage?

A. Google: the tech giant B. Car-makers C. Car trade D. Google’s Driverless cars 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There a few key tips will help you effectively present your work and your ideas in the professional world.

1. 36 Probably the most important aspect of a presentation is what you do in advance. Preparation is vital in organizing your thoughts and ideas into a whole that makes sense to your audience. Plus, knowing the material backwards and forwards means that you can be quicker and more accurate in answering questions and will allow you to ad-lib (随口说出) or go off script（ 脚本；手迹）in a personal and confident manner.

2. Practice with a friend

Along with the preparation for the presentation itself, it’s important to practice what you’re going to say ahead of time, preferably with another person who could give you feedback. Practicing in front of somebody else, instead of just a mirror, will allow you to get an objective perspective on your performance, while also giving you a bit of an audience to work with. 37 .

3. Breathe and relax

During the actual presentation, it is important to remember to breathe and relax. This can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of what you’re doing in front of an audience, but breathing will automatically slow you down and relax you during it. 38 . I would advise a couple of deep breaths before starting a new slide point, just to keep your timing right.

4. Control your body language

39 . When giving a presentation, just as important as what you’re saying is how you say it. Project confidence by looking out at people in the eyes and directing your presentation to the audience instead of behind them. It can also be a helpful tip to have open and inviting body language which can create a connection with the people you’re presenting to. 40 .

A. Organize your thoughts

B. For instance, a few hand gestures are of great help C. Prepare properly

D. The most important thing is to have fun and try to show you are listening

E. Find someone who is patient enough to sit through your talk, and comfortably supporting you, but also giving constructive criticism

F. Breaths can also effectively act as pauses in the presentation and give you a chance to gather your thoughts

G. Researchers say that the majority of communication is non-verbal, and I tend to agree 第三部分 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分 45 分）
