Have you ever been in a conflict（冲突）？Do you know how to solve it？Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict．Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it．The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator（调解人）．
After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict，they discuss ways to solve it．They try to come up with a "resolution" that both sides agree to．They cannot be angry during the communication．Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking．If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry，the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect．After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict，it is time for
discussing the best solution（解决办法）．
Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting：
●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field．
●The person who was accused as the "pusher" says it was actually an accident．
●The person who was pushed gets the mediator．
●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place，away from others to talk．
●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings．
●Each person describes what happened
●The mediator repeats what he heard，so it is clear to everyone．
●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem．
●The two persons offer their own solutions．
●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement．
●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution．
●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem．
Conflict resolution can be used in many environments．It encourages people to tell what really happened，to share their feelings，and to work together peacefully to solve the problem．It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator．

Around the world，there are about 7，000 National Parks．Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives．However，the National Parks in England include places where people live and work，as well as wild areas where there are few human activities．
The National Parks in England are called "England's Breathing Spaces" because they are places where people can go to be in the open air，away from the dirt and noise of cities．They provide wonderful scenes of mountains，woods，grasslands and wetlands．And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England．Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun．Many of the parks put on activities for families．
Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks，bringing many benefits（益处） to the areas．At the same time，it creates problems too．First，life can be difficult for local people．Car parks and roads are too crowded．Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops．Even house prices in some areas can become too high．Besides，country roads can be damaged，for too many people walk，cycle or ride horses on them．Roads can be rebuilt，but then they look less natural．Another big problem to the National Parks is litter．In the parks it is a danger to wild animals．Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun．Such fires in wild places can be out of control．All National Parks in England are making more rules，which tell people how to take good care of their environment．If these rules are followed，the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to
many people for a very long time．

Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan Bieley，15．She was at school．It was the fifth period，and she was the first student to arrive in the gym for her P．E．class．（71） ．
"There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom．After that，I didn't remember anything，"said Morgan．
The roof（屋顶） of the gym had fallen down under the heavy snow．Morgan couldn't get away．"I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg．（72） ．I was starting to get cold．"
Luckily，help was nearby．A new program using "rescue（救援）robots"
was tried for the first time．
"We were nervous about using the robot，"said Derric Sneed，the leader of the program．"But in the end the robot gave us exact information．（73） ．"
The robot was able to go into the gym and find Morgan's place．"Once we made sure where Morgan was and knew it was safe，our men went in to rescue her，"says Sneed．"Her leg was broken and she was afraid，but thankfully，she was alive．"
Doctors say that Morgan is doing well．（74） ．"I want to meet my hero after I get out of the hospital，"laughs Morgan．"That little robot saved my life!"
（75）Who does Morgan think her hero is？ （回答不多于3个单词）

A．It went rather well B．I couldn't move C．She should be going home in three days D．Suddenly there was a loud noise． |
Have you ever seen a car without a driver？It sounds crazy，but these computer﹣driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you．Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars，and the technology is there．
So how？The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road．Road signs are read by cameras，and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go．All you have to do is type in the address! Finally，a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up，stop and turn．
Sound like your idea of heaven？Sitting back，looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while‘driving' would be possible with this new technology．You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going．In addition，computers would also drive more safely than people﹣they would obey the rules and have quicker reaction times when in dangerous situations．
However，there are many drawbacks of driverless cars．Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions：if a child ran into the road，would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers？Moreover，I personally find driving fun﹣I'd miss never driving a car myself．There would also be many other decisions to be made﹣should children，or drunk people，be allowed in a driverless car by themselves？Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times？
I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car﹣but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads．
42．When using a driverless car，you need only ．
A．read the road signs carefully
B．check the cameras
C．put the address into the computer
D．remember the directions
43．The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars．
A．instructions
B．standards
C．advantages
D．tests
44．The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means " "．
A．possibly
B．successfully
C．especially
D．naturally
45．What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars？
A．They'll use less energy．
B．They'll be less expensive．
C．They'll cause more accidents．
D．They'll run much faster．
