第Ⅰ卷(85分)

第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡

上将该项涂黑。

A

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 good sense too. 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 calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are 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. Typical examples are 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 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. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

21. The passage mainly talks about .

A. good manners B. traffic jams

C. road politeness D. modern drivers

22. According to the writer, a good driver should .

A. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

B. beat back when forced to face rude driving

C. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to

D. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel

23. The following statements are right EXCEPT that .

A. some modern drivers are not good at driving

B. it is also right to have a tiger in the driver’s seat

C. road politeness is good sense as well as good manners

D. a friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness

24. It is not always right for drivers to A. master roadmanship

B. recognize politeness when they see it

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

D. wave a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path

B

A British shopper, Emma Mumford, who was named “the Coupon(优惠券)

Queen” has spent just £350 on a luxury(奢侈) Christmas for her and her family—but

got £2,500 worth of food, drink and presents thanks to coupons and offers.

Ms Mumford is a so-called “extreme couponer” and spends hours hunting out the

best deals and bargains. She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of the

last one. Ms Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites

and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas. After sorting out

gifts for all of her family, she has even been able to donate £1,000 worth of presents to

her local hospital.

“It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about

you can do it without spending a fortune. There is a misconception that everyone who

does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have

managed to purchase designer perfumes(香水), a high-end coffee machine .”she

explained.

She said “What started as a hobby to help me save money has turned into my life

and I am able to run a business helping people save money. I know what it feels like to

struggle as my ex-partner had a lot of debt which I took on for him. We were in a poor

situation where every penny counted. That’s what really inspired me.”

She has now turned her bargain-hunting addiction into a business where she

searches for the best deals and offer tips to the general public through video blogging

and her Facebook Page.

“I try and show people that it is just a little bit of work in the beginning but it will

eventually pay off. One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and

save throughout the year.”

25. How did Emma make the huge savings?

A. She collected more Christmas presents than needed.

B. She hunted out bargains in real shops.

C. She used coupons and offers worth £2,500.

D. She compared prices through websites.

26. What does “breaking the bank” in the third paragraph mean?

A. Spending more money than you have. B. Buying presents of low quality.

C. Breaking into the bank. D. Taking out money from the bank.

27. What really inspired Emma to help people save money?

A. Her addiction to bargain-hunting.

B. The poor situation people around her were going through.

C. The financial difficulties she shared with her ex-partner.

D. Her experience of running an unsuccessful business.

28. Which of the following can best describe Emma?

A. Ambitious and creative. B. Careful and caring.

C. Brave and lucky. D. Sensitive and determined.

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and

not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride.

But with Twitter, you just tweet (贴子,留言) and look for other people heading the same

way.

It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides,

and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some

young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.

“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger

generations grew up sharing things online, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they have

been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.

The sharing economy got big during the recession(经济衰退), allowing people to

access more goods and services using technology and even to share cost. And that

technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.

According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in

ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s

not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an

iPhone.

“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their

technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be

connected, that’s going to be a plus,” Schor continued.

To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much

bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each

other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share

cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get

my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.

33. The American teens like me, prefer an iPhone as a birthday gift because ______.

A. it is most fashionable and cool B. they are bored with driving cars

D. it is much cheaper than a car C. they are fond of being connected

34. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.

A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage

B. being connected via technology comes first for young people

C. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter

D. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession

35. The best title for the passage is probably _______.

A. Twitter, an Awesome Website

C. Cool Teens on the Go

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为

多余选项。

Identity theft (身份盗用) is one of the fastest-growing crimes. Identity theft is a B. Cars or iPhone D. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides

crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal

way. When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud (诈骗) with that. He may get

a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills;

And you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…

Why is identity theft becoming so common? And the wealth of personal

details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity

thieves to obtain personal information.

Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up

from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages

caused by this crime.

And this is why it is important that every person should become cautious

when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.

First, make sure your computer has an updated anti-virus and firewall system

installed. Second, only enter your credit card details on secure sites, or websites that

you’ve used before. Third, . Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone

number or the names of your parents are often required to verify (证明) an identity, and

thieves can use this information too. Fourth, avoid sharing files as this gives other

people access to your hard drive. Fifth, never open suspicious e-mails from unknown

source. Last but not least, create complex passwords using a combination of numbers

A. The popularity of the Internet and computers provides a gateway(出入口)for the

identity theft.
