　　(2024·蘭州雙基過關考試)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.

　　Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense.It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

　　However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

　　An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路駕車技能)．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the ear ownership would demand more give-and-take(互諒互讓) from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

　　1．The passage mainly talks about________.

　　A．traffic jamsB．good manners

　　C．road politeness

　　D．modern drivers

　　2．Troubles on the road are often caused by________.

　　A．traffic jams

　　B．the behavior of the drivers

　　C．the great speed of modern life

　　D．terrible road conditions

　　3．According to the writer, a good driver should ________.

　　A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to

　　B．beat back when forced to face rude driving

　　C．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

　　D．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel

　　4．It is not always right for drivers to________.

　　A．master the roadmanship

　　B．neglect politeness when they see it

　　C．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

　　D．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

　　答案：

　　解題導語：本文是一篇記敘文，主要討論了行車禮貌的問題。

　　1．C　解析：主旨大意題。根據全文的整體內容可知，本文主要討論了駕駛員行車禮貌的問題，故選C項。

　　2．B　解析：推理判斷題。根據第一段的第一句“It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.”可推知，路上的麻煩大多是由駕駛員的不良行為引起的，行車禮貌問題正變得可怕，故選B項。

　　3．C　解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段的最后兩句“But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.”可推知，一個好的駕駛員應該能夠認可道路禮貌行為，故選C項。

　　4．D　解析：細節理解題。根據第三段中的第一句“However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.”和最后一句“The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.”可知，鼓動老婦人隨時隨地地穿馬路并不總是正確的，故選D項。

　　(2024·山西省高三聯考)

　　How to protect your ears

　　You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night.When you get outside，your ears are ringing.You have to shout to be heard.__1__So no harm done...right?

　　Not quite.Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore，but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious—and irreversible(無法治愈的)—hearing loss.A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss，and one in 20 have mild hearing loss.__2__

　　But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage—and still listen to the music you love：

　　Ask around.Put your earbuds in or your headphones on，and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to.__3__Turn it down.

　　Buy noise-canceling headphones.A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.

　　Take breaks.__4__So when listening to music，take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.

　　__5__You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts—or while playing or practicing your own music—without changing the quality of the sound.

　　A．Use earplugs.

　　B．Keep the volume below 70 percent.

　　C．If the answer is yes，your music is too loud.

　　D．Like every other part of your body，your ears need rest.

　　E．But by morning，your hearing is totally back to normal.

　　F．Unfortunately，there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.

　　G．The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.

　　I went to England last summer as a exchange student, and stayed there for three months. I used to thinking we had pretty various after-school activities. However, I was surprised to find their projects were even diverse. I made friend with the daughter of my home-stay family，which was a college student. He was a member of different kinds of clubs, so I took the chance to join in some clubs, too. Can you believe I make a robot in the LEGO Club?

　　(2024·陜西五校聯考)Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good.This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity.However, that is not always the case.Did you know that the same one color may mean differently in different places of the world?

　　In the English-speaking world, black is the color of mourning.People wear black clothes at the funeral.Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血)．Yellow is the word for fear.If you are afraid, you are yellow.Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world.In China and Korea white is the color of mourning.In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence.In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.

　　Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find color contradictions (矛盾)．A red cap in the United States is a porter in a railway station.In Britain, however, a red cap is a military policeman.Both names are logical because both men wear red caps.Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.

　　One does not have to cross an area to find color differences.Would you rather be red-blooded or a blue-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest.The expression “blue blood” comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had “blue blood”．Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood.But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair-skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.

　　1．Yellow is concerned with anger in________.

　　A．Russia　B．Britain

　　C．Germany

　　D．China

　　2．The two meanings of the term “red cap” form a difference in________.

　　A．pronunciation

　　B．climate

　　C．logical relationship

　　D．custom

　　3．Both Britain and America would probably agree that________.

　　A．black is the color of mourning

　　B．a black-coated worker is employed in an office

　　C．red stands for beauty and excellence

　　D．a red cap is a porter in a station

　　4．The best title for this passage is “________”．

　　A．The Origin of Blue Blood

　　B．The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors

　　C．Colors That Carry Bad Meanings

　　D．The Meaning Concerned with Certain Colors

　　答案：

　　解題導語：本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了不同文化背景下，顏色所表示的意思也不同。

　　1．C　解析：細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句“In Italy and Germany，you are yellow with anger，not with fear.”可知，答案選C項。

　　2．D　解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段可知，在美國“red cap”是火車站搬運工的標志，而在英國則是憲兵的標志，這屬于兩國文化習慣的不同。由此可知，答案選D項。

　　3．A　解析：細節理解題。根據文章第二段第一句“In the English-speaking world，black is the color of mourning.”可知，在說英語的國家中，黑色被認為是代表哀悼的顏色。故A項正確。

　　4．D　解析：標題概括題。文章主要介紹了不同國家、不同文化中顏色所代表的意義也不同。故選D項。

　　(2024·孝感高三調研)Energy drinks are as harmful as drugs and should be banned from schools, according to a British government adviser.

　　Drinks such as Monster, Red Bull and Relentless combine sugar and caffeine (咖啡因) in such high quantities that children are becoming hyperactive (過度活躍的) and difficult to control.Some 500ml cans contain the equivalent of more than 13 teaspoons of sugar and 160mg of caffeine — which is about the same as in four cans of cola.

　　Yesterday, government adviser John Vincent warned，“Energy drinks are effectively another form of drugs.It has a hugely damaging effect on children's ability to concentrate, how they feel and it is having health effects.”

　　Evidence from teachers and pupils is that children who drink these cans may report feeling sick, shaky and dizzy.Claire Duggan, a school public health adviser, said some children report feeling unwell after downing the drinks.

　　Ian Fenn, headmaster of Burnage Media Arts College in Manchester, has banned the drinks following requests from staff.

　　He told BBC，“Staff came to me and said at a school where we are very conscious about the nutritional value of what students eat.We can't allow boys to bring in drinks that are really unhealthy for them and consume not one, but two or three.”

　　Some children even choose to have an energy drink for breakfast rather than a bowl of cereal.A survey published recently found that one in 20 teenagers goes to school on a can of energy drink.

　　A British Soft Drinks Association spokesman said，“We are clear that energy drinks are not recommended for children, and we want to get that message across to young people and parents.”

　　5.What do we know about drinks like Red Bull from the text?

　　A．They contain about four times as much sugar and caffeine as Coca-Cola.

　　B．They bring about health benefits as well as side effects.

　　C．They distract children from other kinds of drinks.

　　D．They make children more energetic and active.

　　6．According to the text, some British schoolchildren________.

　　A．have energy drinks for their meals

　　B．feel unwell after drinking energy drinks

　　C．are hard to control when choosing their drinks

　　D．are aware of the nutritional value of their drinks

　　7．What can be inferred from the text?

　　A．Energy drinks do not affect adults at all.

　　B．Parents request Ian Fenn to ban energy drinks.

　　C．Burnage Media Arts College is concerned about students' health.

　　D．All children drinking energy drinks report the same symptoms.

　　8．The text mainly tells us that energy drinks________.

　　A．do as much damage as medicine

　　B．can cause children to feel uneasy
