As our family grew, so did our excitement for going out to find the perfect tree.As we walked through the rows of trees, my youngest daughter Kimberly shouted excite
13、dly, There it is, the perfect tree!”The other two agreed. My husband and I looked at each other puzzled. We were surprised the girls thought that straggly （凌乱的）little tree was perfect. Its branches were misshappen（畸形的）and the trunk was visible through the spots where there were no pine needles.We tr
14、ied to persuade our daughters into changing their minds, but in vain. We had to tie the sad little tree to the roof of our van and headed home. As we reached our house, Heather jumped out first. Suddenly she shouted, “The tree isnt there! ”We thought she was kidding. However, it wasnt there.The girl
15、s were so disappointed. “Well get another tree tomorrow, “I said, secretly hoping the new tree would be prettier. But the girls gave us the look that no parent can resist. We had no choice but to go back and find that tree.About five minutes into our drive, we saw it on the side of the road. As we g
16、ot closer, we found it had been run over by a truck. As we lifted the tree, we saw that a big part was ripped off, but we took it home anyway.That night, as we decorated our tree, something magical happened. We didnt realize it at the time but we were making a very special family memory. By the time
17、 we were done, I had to admit, it didn9t look sad after all. This is the best tree we ever had. Ifs perfect!, “my second daughter Samantha said excitedly. My husband and I couldnt have agreed more!Now we always recall that little broken tree! Year by year, we tell the story of that very special Chri
18、stmas almost twenty-five years ago.1、Who was the first to find the tree was missing?A. The youngest daughter. B. The second daughter.C. The oldest daughter. D.

20、hristmas Day B. The Sad Little TreeC. A Magical Christmas Tale D. Our Family Tradition at ChristmasText 2Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles a
21、lso have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional ways of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been tr
22、ansformed by a small fleet （车队） of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform peoples lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified（被改进 的）Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomou
23、s vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents-whose average age is 76-will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appoi
24、ntments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical di
25、sabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling（满意的），independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous
26、vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel.

The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.B. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.C. The benefits
30、 of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.D. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.Text 3The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of the hot season, causing a great shock to both consumers and restaurant ownersand relief isnt likel
31、y anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.Everything thats produced is being consu
32、med, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their cattle among big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain to water the grass.“1
33、quit buying steaks a while ago when the price went up J said 59-year-old Len Markham, who works at Texas Tech. She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger, choosing chicken, pork and fish instead.Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owner of the 50 Yard Line
34、 Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. Since then, the owner of the small eating house has tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing it on to customers. nIt really puts more pressure on the small guys,* he said of non-chain restaurants. I ju

36、number of menu items and are offering other meat options, including turkey burgers, Robb said. Chain restaurants also try to buy beef as much as they can, which essentially gives them a discount, Iowa State University assistant economics professor Lee Schulz said.The high prices are welcome news for
37、 at least one group:大农场经营者），especially those in Texas who foryears have struggled amid drought （干旱）and high feed prices. But even as ranchers breathe a sigh of relief, some worry lasting high prices will cause consumers to permanently change their buying habits switching to chicken or pork. Pete Bon
38、ds, a 62-year-old Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said thats a big concern. “But such fears may be unfounded, Robb said. Three years ago, economists thought consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as the drought spread. Were surprise
39、d we havent seen more of that/ he said.South Dakota rancher Chuck OConnor thinks that consumers wont abandon beef for good. Tm sure some are maybe going to cut back some, but to say that people arent going to buy it anymore, I dont think thats going to happen/ he said, adding, MI hope not.1 The pric
