18、to being common on American roads，much of the rhetoric（浮夸之词）promoting them has to do with safety. About 40，000 people die on US roads every year，and driver errors are linked to more than 20 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest supporters of autonomous（自动的）vehicles arent car companies looking

19、to improve the safety of their existing products. Huge support for self-driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley great companies like Google and Apple. Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the reasons behind any technol

20、ogical push. In this case，its clear that in addition to solving safety concerns，Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive（动机）to create a new place for increasing the use of their digital devices. Every minute people spend on their mobile phones provides dataand often moneyto tech companies.At pre

21、sent，digital devices and driving are in conflict:There are serious，often fatal consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators（管理者）and safety supporters look to solve dial conflict by banning phone use while driving，as has happened in almost every state. But the tech compani

22、es are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is to create an automobile in which continuous cellphone use no longer causes a threat to anyone. In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, its around four hours

23、 a day for the average adult in the US. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time thats available for them up to use their devices, unless, of course, theres a new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about 41 minutes in a car every

24、day,a sizeable opportunity for increased cellphone use.So as the public conversation around autonomous cars pays attention to the safety advantages, dont forget the tech industrys powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves.1、Who are responsible for most

40、day to Me (and My Mom)Forty-three years ago my mother went into labour for the second time. It was either very late New Years Day or very early on the second day of 1969 depending on how you looked at it but either way, it was a full week past her due date when my mom woke up knowing it was time to

41、wake my dad up, get dressed, pack up the car and head to the hospital. Her regular doctor was on vacation and when they reached the hospital they planned to deliver in were told that the doctor was on his way to another hospital so they should head there, in a neighbouring city. Most surprising to m

42、e now is that she felt well enough to attend a New Years party the previous night and stayed long enough to toast in the new year!My mom and her family had immigrated to the United States just twenty years earlier from El Salvador. And that was a lucky thing for me. Not only did my mom gain access t

43、o a better education and career options here in the US for herself, each of her three daughters would also enjoy her access to quality maternity (孕产妇的) care. While the US is hardly the world leader in maternal health or birth outcomes, these days a woman faces a 1 in 2,100 risk of dying during her l

44、ife and in El Salvador, its 1 in 350-6 times worse. In 1969, that difference was even greater.However, I was pregnant with my second child in El Salvador six years ago when I realized how very different my life might have turned out if Id lived there when I delivered my first child. I travelled down

45、 there with CARE, the humanitarian relief organization, whose efforts my mom had long supported, to see some of their principal programmes in action. Among them was one in particular that remains with me today. It was a water project where pregnant women, many of whom had walked miles to access this

46、 clean water, receive some basic care before or after childbirth. Here these women were, facing the exact same physical challenges as me but still carrying the full work load of the family and with little to no resources for information, care, transportation or comfort during or after their pregnanc

47、ies.By this time, I was all too aware of what a challenge childbirth could be. After delivering my daughter in 2003, I survived a hemorrhage (大出血), the leading childbirth-related complication that takes the lives of thousands of other mothers all over the world. One girl or woman dies every 90 secon

48、ds in pregnancy or childbirth from what is in most cases a preventable death. I was as shocked as you are when I discovered this fact but I was also grateful. Grateful because I had been in the care of a team of health workers when I needed them most.I thought of my mothers life. While she had been

49、born in a good hospital in San Salvador in the 1930s, at that time pregnancy-related deaths were common even in the US. My great grandmother also hemorrhaged, only after delivering her fifth child and she died. Her husband, my moms grandfather was a physician at the time. He would give up practising

50、 medicine forever when he couldnt save her.But it wasnt only my mom and her family that I thought of as I considered my own fate and good fortune, it was all those women Id spent the day with in the rural community Id visited with CARE. Wed made a connection that day, we mothers, as women. These wom

51、en did not have access to the simple interventions (介入) that could insure their survival and thats what concerned me. It did more than concern me, it woke me up and begged this question, why should any one life be of different value than any other?And so, I made the commitment right there and then t

52、o do all I could to improve maternal health and reduce the number of maternal deaths around the globe.1、The underlined phrase “went into labour” in Paragraph 1 means “_”.Asuffered from a disease Bgave birth to a babyCtook up an offer of work Dtidied up the house2、According to the passage, the writer

55、adorDupon the death of some women5、The writer is obviously determined to _.Abe a physician different from her great grandfatherBchange the situation in the field of maternal healthCrequest more people to care about maternity careDvolunteer care during or after womens pregnancies6、What conclusion doe

56、s the passage lead you to?APregnancy-related deaths can hardly be kept from happening.BBirth and death went hand in hand with each other very often.CPhysicians failed to save patients from various curable diseases.DWomen would rather have no children for tear of a hemorrhage.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1
