Around this time a few years ago, it was common to see videos of friends on social media having a bucket of icy water thrown on them. Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved.
What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange.
But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid （柠檬酸） hits their taste buds （味蕾）. Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water.”
The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubregh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge.
If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it.

A. to show how charity gained its popularity online.
B. to introduce a similar challenge that raises money for charity.

D. to prove its popularity around the world.

A. It raises more money than ever before.
B. It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases.
C. It brings people together easily and quickly.

The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from coming into reality in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their cars in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology may change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is managed.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars, policymakers should be talking more about how self-driving cars can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放)and offer more convenient and affordable choices to move around. The arrival of driverless cars is a chance to make sure that those cars are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own their self-driving cars. They accept long, slow journeys to and from work on crowded highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride. They take their driverless car to a date and set the empty car to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(网约车)services. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless cars doesn't worsen the transportation system we have today. The coming technological development presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Self-driving cars are not allowed in the real world.
B. Driverless taxies will be seen everywhere on the road in a short term.
C. California is not alone in testing driverless cars.
D. Self-driving technology will definitely benefit transportation system.
13. According to the author, policymakers should pay more attention to __________.
A. how driverless cars can help deal with transportation-related problems
B. how driverless cars can travel safely
C. how driverless cars can travel faster
D. how driverless cars can move more people
14. What is a possible side effect of self-driving cars?
A. Journeys to and from work become longer.
B. More and more people abandon public transportation.
C. There is no place to park them.
D. They may result in traffic jams.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Preparing Cities for Robot Cars B. Future Technology Underway
C. Transportation System in the Future D. Robot Cars on the Road

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。
解这类完形填空时要注意：
1. 掌握几种逻辑关系词
考生在做这类题目是一定要很好地把握上下文逻辑关系，掌握常见的几种表示转折、让步、条件、因果、并列等逻辑关系的词，再根据上下文语境判断出最佳答案。比如第52题，前面说kane需要人们的关注，但后文指出kane并不觉得自己行动不便，可知attention的原因并不是因为移动，故用转折but。
2. 准确把握逻辑关系
考生在做题过程中需要留意上下文，正确把握上下文之间的逻辑关系。逻辑关系涉及时间、条件、原因、转折等几个方面。正确理解文章的内容并把握逻辑关系有助于考生准确地解答试题。I saw a family that embraced (拥抱) this special child. A family that wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was . Joline had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to . Kane used his hands to move about, and the cart him to “go to” any place just as everyone else was able to do. Kane was not just a member of the family, but the of the family.由后文的拥抱这个特殊的孩子推测这是一个很棒的家庭，故选B；这个家庭很棒，自然不会让孩子知道他与别人的不同之处，故选C；还专门给他造了个小车子让他到处逛逛，故选D；这个车子能让kane去任何地方，故选B；这样一个特殊的孩子，父母不但没有放弃他，反而对他很好，可知这个孩子是家里的中心，故选C。
3. 仔细体会作者的思想情感
在解题过程中，考生要仔细体会作者所要表达的思想情感，不能按自己的想法去揣测文章中人物的心理活动。比如第59、60题，I can only imagine that as the parent of a child like Kane one might be filled with 59 . But I believe that having a child like Kane is actually a(n) . The parents of such special babies are angles too, just as the babies are.作者的内心也有着两种感情，首先他理解这样特殊的家庭下家长内心肯定很焦虑，故选D，但同时这样的家庭也有优势，他们就像天使一样，故选B。

My summer travel started terribly. I was at the Shanghai Railway Station buy a Ticket to Hangzhou. I was going to visit a friend here and after that I would go to Xiamen for long holiday. I bought my ticket but turned around to pick up my bag from the floor and then I realized that someone had stolen it. Luckily I had all my money on my pocket, but the only clothes I had was those I had on. It felt very strange to travel without any luggages. When I finally arrived at my friend, he lent to me lots of clothes. I feel very happy that I could change my clothes at last.
知识点：短文改错
【详解】1.buy改为buying 本句指的动词buy与主语I构成主动关系，故使用现在分词buying在句中作状语。故把buy改为buying。
2.here改为there 这里的there指上句提及的Hangzhou，去看望那里的朋友。故把here改为there。
3.for后面加a 本句中的名词holiday是一个可数名词，指很长时间的一个假期。故在for后面加a。
4.but改为and 上下文之间是并列关系，我买了票然后转身拿包。不存在转折的关系，而是递进的并列关系，故把but改为and。
5.on改为in 固定搭配“在口袋里”in the pocket。故把on改为in。
6.was改为were 本句的主语是the only clothes，该结构做主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。故把was改为were。
7.luggages改为luggage 名词luggage是一个不可数名词，没有复数形式。故把luggages改为luggage。
8.friend改为friend’s 固定搭配at my friend’s在朋友家里。故把friend改为friend’s。
9.去掉to 动词lend后面要接双宾语lend sb sth="lend" sth to sb把某物借给某人。故去掉to。
10.feel改为felt 本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，故使用一般过去时即可。故把feel改为felt。

Dear Tim,
l'm glad to receive your letter. It's a pleasure for me to tell you something about the coming winter vacation.
This vacation will start on January 15, lasting about 40 days. Various activities are waiting for the students. First of all, we will take up some exercise, such as running and playing basketball, to keep us physically strong. Of course, we'll do some reading and see some well-known English films for fun, and for knowledge as well. As second-year senior students we have to prepare ourselves for the college entrance examinations that is only a year away. In other words,we must find time to study, too. If possible,we'll take part in some social activities so that we can know more about the society.
As for me, l'II spend some time staying with my parents, chatting with them and doing some housework because they've done so much for me.
What about yours?
