The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people

题型:不详难度:来源:
The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights.It   36   me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a   37   to go faster.I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green.Above all, there are those   38   situations in which someone doesn’t even   39   that the light turns red, and just keeps going.That is why so many   40   happen! All these situations make me   41__    the purpose of traffic lights.
42   , it’s even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at   __43   crossroads.Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? So I guess I do like the idea of a system to   44   traffic.And I’ll do my best to   45   the traffic rules: to go, to be cautious, and to stop when I’m   46   to.
It occurs to me that my   47   have done much the same for me   48   teaching me how to live.They have given me many   49   lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to   50   with joy and purpose.They have also given me some red lights   51   my life goes astray(误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires.And there   52   have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to   53    school regularly and work hard.
If I obey these rules, my life will be as   54   as it can be.Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking across the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the“   55__ signals” given to me by my parents.

解析
在街上走的时候,在十字路口有红绿灯给我们提示是否继续前进。同样,在生活中我们的父母也给我们发出做人、做事的信号灯。
小题1:C。在十字路口安装摄像头一事使我想起很多人把黄灯当作快速通过的信号灯。Remind“提醒,使想起”。
小题1:B。参见上题解析。Signal“信号灯”。
小题1:C。更重要的是,还有一些危险的情况(dangerous situation)。根据“he light turns red, and just keeps going”可知答案为C。
小题1:A。有人甚至不注意(notice)红灯,只管往前走。
小题1:D。这就是很多交通事故(accidents)发生的原因。
小题1:B。所有的这些情况使我想知道(wonder about)设置交通信号灯的目的是什么。
小题1:D。然而(However),我们设想,如果在拥挤(crowded)十字路口让人们自己决定谁先通过,那会是什么样的情形。
小题1:C。见上题解析。
小题1: A。所以,我认为我们的确需要有一套制度来控制(control)交通。
小题1: B。我会尽力遵守(obey)交通规则。
小题1:A。该走则走,该小心要小心,该停则停。Be supposed to do sth.“应该做某事”。
小题1: D。根据本文最后一句中的“given to me by my parents”可知是“父母教育我如何做人”。
小题1: C。我的父母在教育我如何生活方面也是这样的。In terms of“就……而言,从……方面”。
小题1:B。根据下文的They have also given me some red lights并结合空后的内容可知,父母教育我们如何与他人相处、如何倾听和与别人交谈、如何帮助别人……这好像是给我们的绿灯的信号,让我们顺利地前行。
小题1:A。如何生活开心并拥有目标。
小题1:C。根据“父母告诫我不要贪婪、控制脾气、控制欲蠼”可知,这就像是红灯,在我误人歧途之前(before)提醒我。
小题1:D。下文谈到的是一些我需要小心谨慎处理的事情,就像是黄灯。这里用also表示附加或者递进关系。
小题1:B。要按时上学,努力工作。attend school“上学”,同go to school。
小题1:A。如果我遵守规则,我的生活就会非常美好(good)。
小题1:C。我还要注意父母给我发出的那些人生的信号灯(1ife signals)。

A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking(搭便车)on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road.The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop.The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel(方向盘)!
The car started to move very slowly.The man looked at the road and saw a curve (拐弯处)coming his way.Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life.He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel.The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve.Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car.Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town.In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car.Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!
About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other, “Hey, there’s a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!”

Car sharing is another way to drive green that’s gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas.People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事)or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing.Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的)and informal car sharing services.Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one.The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot.
Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road.Members don’t drive just because they are in a car.They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one.Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day.Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership.They usually don’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment.So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
小题1:The author intends to tell us that car sharing ________.
A.has become the most popular way to go to work
B.has become the best way to cut living costs
C.is becoming more and more popular in cities
D.is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的)areas
小题2:We can conclude from the passage that _________.
A.Zipear can’t help you if you are running urgent errands
B.Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit
C.Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment
D.Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
小题3:The second paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A.why people will share a car
B.why car sharing benefits the environment
C.why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D.why a car is available to members
小题4:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

My grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates(木箱)for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!
The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.
“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now this.”
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.
He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “But most of all,” he said, “ I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me!” The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.
Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.
小题1:The  underlined word “miraculous”(Paragraph 6)can be replaced by          .
A.practicalB.wonderfulC.necessaryD.important
小题2: What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Perfect Mistake.B.An Ordinary Carpenter.
C.A Careless Old Man.D.A Pair of Glasses.

Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of China"s space science. As a world-famous expert on aerospace rockets and aerodynamics, he obtained great achievements in the areas of applied mechanics, engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking(事业).
He graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, and Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master"s degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
In 1955, six years after the founding of People"s Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles. In 1956, Qian Xuesen put forward “Proposal on the Development of China"s Aviation Industry for National Defense”. With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and marshal Nie Rongzheng, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China"s first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth(从此以后), he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China"s missile, rocket and spacecraft.
Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring(高声播放)the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
As a forerunner leading the development of China"s aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China"s manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. “He suggested that rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists. This suggestion gave us chances to be general designers.” Recalling the experience working with Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, general designer of China"s lunar orbiter project, is very grateful. “He put great expectation on us and trusted us a lot. Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future.”
Honored as Father of China"s Missile and King of Rockets, Qian Xuesen never stopped his work on scientific research after he retired. He said he had no time to review the past, but looked forward to the future.
小题1:When did Qian xuesen begin to study in Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

C.America, France, Japan, China and Australia.
D.The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, America, France, Japan and China.
