　　(2024·山西高三上學期診斷)

　　Nearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research.One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (裝備) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers.The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (雜亂的東西) in the car.

　　Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash.“This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，” she said.“Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞滿) windows with lots of signs.Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”

　　A survey arranged by price comparison website Confused.com found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety.But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value.The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.

　　“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs.They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，” said a Confused.com spokesman.

　　5．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?

　　A．They can be dangerous.

　　B．They are useful to avoid accidents.

　　C．They are welcomed by passengers.

　　D．They are forbidden to be used.

　　6．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?

　　A．Positive. B．Negative.

　　C．Uninteresting. D．Objective.

　　7．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs________.

　　A．can improve safety

　　B．are unnecessary

　　C．can make drivers clearD．can kill time

　　8．What is the purpose of this text?

　　A．To solve a problem.

　　B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.

　　C．To tell an interesting story.

　　D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.

　　課時作業(二)　

　　Ⅰ.單項填空

　　1．解析：　考查交際用語。根據答語后一句中的內容可知說話人“一點也不介意對方把空調關掉”。

　　答案：　C

　　2．解析：　考查代詞用法。when it comes to (doing)sth.是固定結構，表示“當涉及某事(或做某事)時”。句意為：當提到節能的時候，大變化從細微的行動開始，比如隨手關燈。

　　答案：　C

　　3．解析：　no在此為形容詞，相當于not a/any，單獨使用時應放于such之前；A項such后應加a；C項中a應去掉。

　　答案：　D

　　4．解析：　base...on...把……建立在……基礎上。base為及物動詞，這里指base our knowledge on practice，base與knowledge之間為被動關系，故用其過去分詞形式。

　　答案：　C

　　5．解析：　句意為：當老師告訴男孩的父親他在學校的所作所為時，他的父親非常生氣。more than＋形容詞表示“非常，十分”。 other than除了；less than少于；rather than而不是。

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　句意為：媽媽大病未愈，但她的身體一天天地在“逐漸(gradually)”康復。其余三項：frequently頻繁地；fluently流利地；actually實際上，均不符合語境。

　　答案：　B

　　7．解析：　sth.is native to表示“某物原產于某地，某物是……所特有的”。

　　答案：　B

　　8．解析：　play a part in是固定搭配，意思是“在……中扮演角色或起作用”；society為抽象名詞，前面常不用冠詞。

　　答案：　B

　　9．解析：　考查動詞詞組辨析。A項的意思是“掌握……的要領”；B項的意思是“不把……當一回事”；C項的意思是“充分利用”；D項的意思是“取得”。句意為：快樂的人未必擁有最好的東西，他們只是充分利用了自己所遇到的一切。根據句意可知，C當選。

　　答案：　C

　　10．解析：　request要求，后加從句時從句用虛擬語氣，should可以省略；refer to提及和reporter之間是被動關系，故用過去分詞作定語。

　　答案：　C

　　11．解析：　下句意為：依我看來，與其說你的兒子笨，倒不如說他懶。more...than與其說……倒不如說，符合句意，故C項正確。

　　答案：　C

　　12．解析：　考查副詞辨析。由答語中的“gradually”可知他們的工資穩步增長，steadily穩定地，符合題意。sharply意思是“急劇地”；frequently意思是“頻繁地”；vastly意思是“非常，很”。

　　答案：　A

　　13．解析：　考查動詞。句意為：你應該考慮到一種好的學習方式在你的學習中所起的作用。play與part連用表示“起作用，扮演角色”。句中的“a good way of learning________in your studies”是定語從句，修飾先行詞the part。

　　答案：　C

　　14．解析：　考查連詞的用法。句意為：工程師們如此忙碌，以至于他們即使有這種興趣也沒有時間進行戶外體育運動。wherever無論哪兒；whenever無論何時；as if似乎，均不符合語境。

　　答案：　C

　　15．解析：　考查交際用語。How come表示“怎么會”；What for表示“為什么”；So what表示“那又怎么樣呢”；Why not表示“為什么不呢”。根據答語中的“she never came late for class”可知，應選A。

　　答案：　A

　　1．解析：　細節理解題。根據Job A中的“(2)Have experience in marketing”可知D項正確。

　　答案：　D

　　2．解析：　細節理解題。根據Wendy擅長漢語以及不喜歡固定的工作時間進度表這兩點及對照四則招聘信息可知，Job C中的“Chinese speaking and reading ability a must”以及“Flexible working hours”與Wendy的那兩點一致，據此可推斷出Job C或許適合Wendy。

　　答案：　C

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　態度判斷題。根據第二段中的“‘Baby on Board’ signs are...isn’t in the car”以及“Worse...or other road users at risk.”可知，Julie Townsend對車貼積極的一面以及消極的一面都做了客觀的描述，由此可推知她的態度是客觀的。

　　答案：　A

　　8．解析：　寫作意圖題。本文介紹了英國最新的調查發現汽車車貼成為“馬路殺手”的事實，其目的就是告訴人們當前存在的一個交通安全隱患。
