William Phelps Eno (1858 - 1945 ) was an internationally recognized pioneer in traffic control and regulation. Named the “Father of Traffic Safety,” Eno developed the first traffic plans for major cities including New York, London, and Paris, and is credited with helping to invent and popularize stop signs, taxi stands, pedestrian safety islands, and other traffic features commonly used throughout the world.

Eno started out in his family's real estate business, but his interest in transportation led him to concentrate his spare time on traffic reform. In 1899, at the age of 40, he left real estate behind and devoted the rest of his life to

put his concepts for orderly transportation into practice. His “Rules of the Road”, adopted by New York City in 1909, became the world's first city traffic plan. He also wrote the first-ever manual of police traffic regulations.

Eno gradually embraced multimodal transportation interests. He developed a plan for subways in New York City long before anyone else seriously considered the concept. He also became interested in maritime activities, supported railroad development, and started research in the 1920s on the future impact of aviation(航空).

Eno died in 1945 at the age of 86. Ironically, he never drove a car during his lifetime. The Father of Traffic Safety, an enthusiastic horseback rider, distrusted automobiles.

In 1921, William P. Eno created a corporation whose purpose was to continue his lifetime's work—the promotion of safety on roads and highways. He sponsored the Foundation and began the work of attracting other transportation experts and specialists in order to provide a forum for unbiased discussions that would lead to improvements in the movement of people and goods.

Since 1921, the Foundation has undergone many changes. What began as a Foundation for Highway Traffic Regulation has now become an independent, non-profit think tank that works in federal transportation policy and transportation leadership development. What has not changed is Eno's constant presence in the world of transportation.

24. For what is William Phelps Eno well-known to the whole world ?

A. His pioneering work in ensuring traffic safety. B. His design of all traffic signs. C. His research over the diversity of transportation. D. His contribution in inventing cars. 25. When was the first city traffic plan launched?

A. In 1909. B. In 1921. C. In 1945. D. In 1899. 26. Which of the following can best replace “ironically” in the fourth paragraph?

A. Humorously. B. Simply. C. Unexpectedly. D. Fortunately. 27. What role does the Foundation created by William play now?

A. Promoting improvements in federal transportation. B. Sponsoring the poor who don't have cars.

C. Hosting international forums for experts and specialists. D. Maintaining safety on roads and highways.

The spread of Internet learning for huge numbers of people is leading some colleges to offer MOOCs, Massive Open Online Courses. Major universities like Stanford in California and Harvard in Massachusetts have invested millions of dollars to help launch MOOCs.

Those schools and others may have heard an attention-getting prediction. The man who created the MOOC service Udacity says that in fifty years, only ten traditional universities will remain in the world. That prediction came from Sebastian Thrun, a computer scientist probably best known for his part in making Google's driverless car. He is still a research professor at Stanford University. But he left his teaching position at Stanford to help start Udacity, a provider of MOOCs.

Universities that fail to join the movement for MOOCs may be worried about their chances of survival. Colleges also hope to gain more students and cut operational costs in return for their investments.

Moody's Investor Service predicts that MOOCs will help large, famous universities gain more students. It says schools that create content for MOOCs can earn money by providing the course material to smaller schools.

But the investment service is warning that smaller, less well-known colleges may suffer because of MOOCs. It says students may want to receive certificates from major universities instead of attending a local junior college that provides traditional credits.

Recently, the University of Washington said it was the first American university to offer credit for MOOCs, credit that could be used toward a degree from the school.

technology. But several courses in literature are now available.

Professor Nelson says, "How much MOOCs will change college life is still up in the air. I have been of the opinion which is what universities will evolve to do is to still present some traditional classes, but that universities in some sense will be integrated(合并)."

28. Why do some major colleges join in providing MOOCs?

A. To make profits through Internet learning. B. To survive in the Information Age. C. To offer help to other smaller colleges. D. To attract more investments. 29. What did Sebastian Thrun predict about future college life?

A. Many traditional universities will disappear. B. Lectures will be given by Al rather than professors. C. People don't have to receive education.

D. Traditional courses will be entirely replaced by MOOCs. 30. What used to be the disadvantage of MOOCs?

A. They were demanding for students. B. They were not friendly to students of arts. C. They were not acknowledged by most colleges. D. They were expensive for students to use. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph ?

A. More traditional courses will be given in colleges. B. Students from different universities will study together. C. The impact of MOOCs on college life is not sure. D. Professor Nelson is not in favor of MOOCs.

Heads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.

“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk,” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr.M.D., in a statement.

The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor’s written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅 骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.

The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA’s new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.

32. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?

A. To raise safety standards of sports. B. To protect athletes from concussions. C. To set rules for health care evaluation. D. To help players return to the game quickly. 33. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?

A. Avoid using the head. B. Leave the field forever. C. Get treatment in time. D. Switch to another sport. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

C. How the CDC works. D. How a concussion can be prevented. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Rules for Safer Play B. Sports Injuries in the US C. Advice to Athletes D. New Policies for Doctors 第二节（共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）

Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media, only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland, that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store, and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are? Oh, man! You’re missing out! 36 Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FoMO.

37 It’s so easy today to see what your friends are doing from the social media. Unluckily, we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment. It would be impossible for us to enjoy all the activities we see others take part in on social media.

Rather than realizing this basic truth, though, we usually let FoMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media. 38 Why? We know all the sides of our lives---both good and bad. But all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share.

39 FoMO makes us check social media more frequently, leading to addiction and a negative cycle that can be hard to break. Researchers have found that social media and FoMO can cause serious negative results, including feeling of depression, loneliness and boredom.

40 Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness. Instead, we should focus our attention on our real lives, including the people around us and all the things we’re grateful for.

A. Have you ever experienced FoMO? B. At least that’s what you might think. C. This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied. D. So how do we break the cycle and avoid FoMO?

E. Over 75% of young people report feeling FoMO from time to time. F. As famous Theodore Roosevelt said, comparison is the thief of joy.

G. If you let FoMO control you, the only thing you’ll really be missing out on is your own life. 第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分 45 分）

I love holidays! There's nothing better than jetting off to a foreign destination to visit the attractions it has on offer. Of course, I'm not 41 . Millions of people are doing the same, and why not? The world has an amazing variety of 42 sights, from breathtaking natural scenery to impressive old cities. But the problem is that too many of us are visiting them at the same time, putting pressure on these 43 and ancient places.

That's why a number of beautiful spots and historic sites have been introducing charges or 44 on the tourists who visit. There are many reasons for this: to 45 overcrowding, which can spoil the surroundings of a place, to manage the 46 on old broken buildings, to tidy up the mess that visitors leave 47 , or—as some may suggest — 48 tourist traps to make more money out of the visitors.

Now, 52 arriving by cruise ship will have to pay a 'landing tax' which Mayor Luigi Brugnaro says, would 53 much-needed income to keep the city clean. ” Many cities in Europe already 54 an occupancy tax

on tourists who stay in hotels and guest houses. In the UK, Edinburgh is hoping to do the same, 55 making it the first city in the country to do so because of the public not being all for it. This taxation, which is usually charged per person per night of 56 , raises money to help protect the environment, pay for infrastructure, or promote tourism. In Italy's capital city, Rome, new laws are being introduced to restrict 57 bad tourist behavior, which some 58 is spoiling the look and feel of the city. Rules include 59 drinking water

from fountains and attaching 'love locks'to bridges.

As more of us can now afford to travel, tourist destinations are going to get 60 , so maybe new laws and taxes are going to be a necessary part of the sightseeing experience.

Last weekend I went on an eco-travel with a travel agency. All the way we enjoyed the beautiful sceneries and fresh air. And a few of us picked flowers while go sightseeing. Some even tried to catch the birds they saw. What was worst, many tourists threw rubbish here and there, that may do great harm to wildlife there.

I don’t think this is a true eco-travel. A true eco-travel is a tour that not only allows us to express our love nature, but develop our responsibility as well. As we enjoy the beauty of the nature, we should spare no effort to protect them. And we should also try to protect wildlife. A true eco-travel should be like this: take nothing away but your wonderfully memory; leave nothing behind but all the green trees and the clean water.
