21．（6分） Among all the tourist attractions in Sydney. the magnificent Opera House is the shining star. On the edge of Bennelong Point, a tongue of land sticking out into Sydney Harbor, this UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of a complex of roofs shaped like huge shells or billowing sails that mix beautifully with its waterfront location.
Today visitors can admire the great beauty of the building. Much more than an opera house, the structure encompasses(包含) theaters, studios, a concert hall, rehearsal, and reception rooms, restaurants, and a spectacular open-air forecourt overlooking the harbor and city. American architect Louis Kahn once said, "The sun did not know how beautiful its light was, until it was reflected off this building.”
Tips and Tactics
Book seats for productions well in advance. Performances commence promptly so visitors should allow enough time to access the building, collect tickets, and stow cloaks, large bags, and jackets.
Consider enjoying a meal in one of the restaurants to enjoy the stunning harbor views. One of the best sites to photograph the Opera House is Mrs. Macquarie's Chair in the Royal Botanic Gardens or from the water aboard a harbor cruise.
Getting to the Sydney Opera House
Visitors can catch a Sydney Bus, travel by City Rail, or hop aboard a Sydney Ferry to Circular Quay, which is a 5 to 7 minute walk from the Sydney Opera House.
A free shuttle bus for elderly and mobility-challenged patrons (顾客)runs between Circular Quay near Stand E (under the Cahill Expressway) and the Vehicle Concourse.
Bike parking is available under the Sydney Opera House Monumental Steps. Wilson's Sydney Opera House Car Park is located at 2 Macquarie St, with vehicle access next to the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.
Admission: Ticket prices vary from attraction to attraction.
Location: Bennelong Point, Sydney.
1、Which of the characteristics of Sydney Opera House might attract visitors most?
A．Its historical context. B．Its unique architecture
C．Its waterfront location D．Its superb harbor views
2、If you are a visitor to Sydney Opera House, you can ______.
A．take a ferry directly to Sydney Opera House,
B．ride a free shuttle bus without any restrictions,
C．take an equally good photo from any angle,
D．drive a car to 2 Macquarie St and park there.
22．（8分）Google, one of the world’s outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network. Google+. Instead, it was a building.
Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia, through Google’s building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, “My colleague and I have lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn’t learn. Once you understand how the system works, it is very simple.”
They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.
According to Mr Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50, 000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with password protection, Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, “It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all the time.”
Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.
“Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network,” he says. “It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings,” he adds.
But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.
1、How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Google’s building?
A．They invented a search engine and connected it to Google’s building.
B．They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.
C．They used Google’s BMS to find out the owner of the building,
D．They connected their own software to the building to run Google.
2、In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention of ________.
A．analyzing some immoral problems
B．explaining the reasons for energy savings
C．entering Google’s building to save more energy
D．telling Google about the Wharf 7 office’s hidden danger
3、What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.
B．There are many researchers contributing a lot to web security.
C．The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.
D．There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well.
4、What is the author’s attitude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?
A．Ambiguous. B．Negative. C．Indifferent. D．Favorable.

24．（8分） Even as Google plans to test its fleet(车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.

"Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people," said Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.
The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator(油门) or brake pedal. "Our software and sensors do all the work," Urmson said. "The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button." The prototypes(雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.
In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness.
Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.
The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerator and brake pedals to allow "safety drivers" to take control if needed.
Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that "can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," Urmson said. "We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle," Urmson said.
1、The passage informs us that self-driving cars ________.
A．will probably decrease traffic jams
B．have already passed necessary tests
C．have been purchased by some companies
D．will be able to communicate with drivers
2、According to Chris Urmson, ________.
A．software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
B．self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
C．self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
D．ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
3、The underlined word "intersections" in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．accidents B．buildings
C．crossings D．vehicles
4、What is the best title for this passage?
A．Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors
B．Self-driving Car Meets New Challenges
C．Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global Popularity
D．Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets
25．（10分）What makes a family? How do family memembers get along with each other? Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.
