before sunset,and I was 25 miles from home.I couldnt reach anyone to pick me up,so I decided to take a bus.Not knowing the routes,I figured Id just head east.A bus pulled up,and I asked the driver how far she was going.“Four more lights,” she said.There was another bus I could take from there.This clearly was going to be a long night.She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for.After waiting 30 minutes,I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home.Then a bus pulled up.There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃).It was out of service.But the door opened,and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.“I just cant leave you here,” she said.“This isnt the nicest place.Ill give you a ride home.”“Youll drive me home in the bus?” I asked,puzzled.“No,Ill take you in my car,” she said.“Its a long way,” I protested.“Come on,” she said.“I have nothing else to do.”As we drove from the station in her car,she began telling me a story.A few days earlier,her brother had run out of gas.A good Samaritan picked him up,took him to a service station and then back to his car.“Im just passing the favor along,” she said.When I offered her money as a thank-you,she refused.“Just do something nice for somebody.Pass it along,”she said.21.Why did the author say that he would have a long night?A.He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.B.No driver would give him a ride.C.He didnt know the routes.D.He perhaps would have to take a taxi.答案:A解析:根据“There was another bus I could take from there.This clearly was going to be a long night.”可知答案为A项。22.Judging from its context,the place where the author waited for the second bus was .A.very quiet and peacefulB.dark without street lightsC.neither clean nor beautifulD.a little unsafe答案:D解析:根据“I just cant leave you here,”she said.“This isnt the nicest place.”,可推断,作者等待下一趟公交车的地方可能不太安全。23.Why did the author change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?A.No bus would come at the time.B.A taxi ride would be more comfortable.C.He became impatient and a bit worried.D.He knew the driver would never return.答案:C解析:作者在等了半小时后,开始考虑搭乘出租车回去,由此可推断作者已经等得不耐烦了,还有点着急。BShopping online in search of a bargain(便宜货) can often leave you feeling disappointed or out of pocket rather than satisfied.You can avoid this by following our simple advice:PRODUCTBefore you look for the cheapest price you need to decide what product you actually want.You can do this by researching online,the easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can decide on what would be best for you.SEARCH & COMPAREYou are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices.You should never just use one comparison website;using two or more will give you a balanced view of the market.Comparison websites are necessary.You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses.Although the idea behind Froogle(now called Google Products) is attractive,the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and Pricerunner.Froogle uses a regular search engine.And dont expect price comparison sites to be a surefire way of getting a bargain.The sites will only show products from companies who pay them.This is not necessarily a bad thingsuppliers value their reputation(名声) and their business relationships.AND SEARCH AGAINBefore you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service,and then try again just using a standard search engineit might find the product with a cheaper price.If you use Firefox to surf the web then theres an add-on(附加的) tool that you can download which finds the cheapest price for a product for you.It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to down-load.For example,if youre shopping online at Amazon,the Invisible Hand will pop up and tell you that it is 56 cheaper at Dixons.The tool will only work when you are looking at products,so it shouldnt disturb your day-to-day Internet surfing.The add-on is supported by well known brands(品牌) such as BT,Comet and HMV but obviously it wont search every single site out there,so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool.24.According to the passage,how to decide what product to buy?A.By shopping online.B.By searching online.C.By looking for the cheapest price.D.By deciding which is best.答案:B解析:细节理解题。由第二段可知“想要决定自己真正想买的东西最容易的方式就是通过Google等搜索引擎在线搜索不同的物品,以便做出最佳的选择”。25.We can learn from the passage that .A.we dont need to use two or more comparison websitesB.comparison websites often give us wrong views and choicesC.all the search engines are the same advancedD.different comparison websites use different technologies答案:D解析:细节理解题。由第三、四段可知A项错在dont need,B项错在wrong,C项错在the same,尤其是第四段通过例证说明不同的“比较网站”使用的是不同的搜索引擎技术。26.The exact meaning of the underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 8 is “”. A.shoutB.appearC.disappearD.hide答案:B解析:词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知,“如果你在亚马逊网购物时,the Invisible Hand就将会自动出现并告诉你这个物品在Dixons网卖得便宜56英镑”。句意决定了这个短语应该表示the Invisible Hand会自动出现来提示并提供帮助。27.Whats the best title of the passage?A.How to Find Perfect Bargains OnlineB.How to Use Search EnginesC.Different Websites in the WorldD.Online Shoppings Advantage答案:A解析:主旨大意题。由第一段开篇点题及综览全文内容可知,本文主要提出几条建议,以便读者更好地在网上淘到廉价货。故A项最全面、最准确。C导学号06944032A Train Floating On AirA train that floats on air?Its not magicits magnets(磁).And its close to reality.In Virginia USA the fall of 2002,a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus.In Japan,a whisper-quiet railway engine raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power.And in China,a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.These trains use magnetic levitation(悬浮)technology,“maglev” for short.They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school:opposite poles of magnets attract each other,and like poles repel each other.How does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track,which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way.With a magnetic field of sufficient force,the train will go hovering on air,which seemed impossible to us in the past.When an electrical current is sent through the track,the train moves.Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.Maglev doesnt rely on the friction(摩擦力) of wheels on track,so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train.And it can travel easily in snow and ice,something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop.28.This passage is about .A.maglevB.magnetsC.levitationD.electricity答案:A解析:本文主要介绍关于磁悬浮列车的知识。29.Which of the following is a repelling action?答案:B解析:由第三段中的“.opposite poles of magnets attract each other,and like poles repel each other.”及常识可判断出,“repel each other”意为“互相排斥”。repelling action即为B图所示的情况。30.What can we learn from the passage?A.A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train.B.Instead of electricity,magnets are used as the power of a maglev.C.Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels.D.Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train.答案:A解析:由第五段中的“Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track,which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way.”可知,A项正确。31.What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?A.A maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one cant.B.A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed.C.Travelling without a track,a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one.D.Floating on a track,a maglev train is faster,quieter than an ordinary railway train.答案:D解析:综观全文可知,磁悬浮列车与普通列车的区别在于前者更快速、更安静。DDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed,it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药),damaging eyesight,judgement and co-ordination(协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving limit,driving will be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood;or22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 ml of breath;or67 milligrams of alcohol per 100 ml of urine(尿液).Drivers who cause traffic accidents,or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points;or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath,blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver,and think before you drink.For the safety of yourself and other road users,never drive after consuming alcohol.32.The first paragraph is mainly about .A.the introduction of driving skillsB.the damage of drinking to your bodyC.the effect of drinking on drivingD.the process of alcohol being absorbed答案:C解析:主旨大意题。第一段主要介绍了喝酒对于司机开车方面的影响:视力、判断力和协调能力下降;反应时间变慢;增加了发生事故的风险。故选C项。33.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “”.A.alcoholB.absorptionC.bloodD.process答案:D解析:词义猜测题。it通常指上文提到的名词或事情,上文主要讲述“除掉身体里的酒精是一个非常
