Digital money
We used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital(电子的) money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it‘s hard to live without them. It‘s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next. Bionic(仿生的) eye
It‘s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back---by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to ―see‖ the environment and send data(数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(高清的) image could be just a few years away. Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won‘t get distracted(分神) by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly (严格地遵守)to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce（减少） the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted. 66. ______ has stopped using cash completely. A. Sweden B. ATM
C. BBC
D. America
67. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money? A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money. B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash. C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card. D. ATM cards arc always popular.
68. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film. B. Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside. C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used. 69. From the report, we can learn some information about ______. A. culture and art
B. industry and farming D. traffic and journey
C. science and technology
70. Which of the following can be predicted(预测) from the passage? A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road B. The blind could use cameras to see things around. C. We would live a hard life with digital money. D. Robots would control the world.

六、阅读表达 (10分) 请根据短文内容，回答下面问题，每题不超过5个词。
Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as ―perfect‖ even though it doesn‘t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There‘s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it‘s possible to enjoy a game even when you don‘t win. A child who‘s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn‘t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, ―It doesn‘t matter.‖ Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask ―Why did I fail?‖ Don‘t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don‘t be shy about asking them.
1. What can failure become in fact? _______________________________________ 2. How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?_______ 3. How do 60% of the parents prevent failure or protect their children from the knowledge that they have failed? _______________________________
4. What should young people be allowed to experience? _________________________ 5. Who does failure hurt? ___________________________ 七、任务性阅读。(10分) 阅读填表,每个空格只填一个单词。
