The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving.Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents, the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife,39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest, advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less)，South Dakota and Washington, D.C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower.More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers according to the study.Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs.1.7 deaths for women.8. According to the study, female drivers _.A. are more aggressive while drivingB. are more interested in auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick driving lawsD. are more familiar with safety equipment9. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they _.A. cause more accidents on the roadB. pay more money to the insurance companiesC. take the most part of the insurance clientsD. have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims10. We can infer from the passage that_.A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than womenB. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insuranceC. more female drivers die every year than male driversD. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite gender11. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by_.A. giving examples B. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusion D. presenting an argument【答案】【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过列举一些数据说明现在女性司机似乎比男性司机开车更加安全。10. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段可知，女性司机相比男性司机而言驾驶更加安全，故选D。根据第二段中的Men are 3.4 times more likely.to get a ticket.可知，A项错误；根据第三段最后一句可知，B项错误；根据最后一段第一句可知，C项错误。11. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文中第二至四段中的数据对比可知，作者将女性司机与男性司机进行比较，从而得出女性司机比男性司机更安全的结论，故选B。DAnyone who has ever tried to make their way through the center of Amsterdam in a car knows it: the city is owned by cyclists. They hurry in swarms through the streets, unbothered by traffic rules, taking precedence (优先权) whenever they want, rendering motorists powerless by their sheer numbers.Cyclists rule in Amsterdam and great pains have been taken to accommodate them: the city is equipped with an elaborate network of cycle paths and lanes, so safe and comfortable that even toddlers and elderly people use bikes as the easiest mode of transport. Its not only Amsterdam which boasts a network of cycle paths, of course; youll find them in all Dutch cities.The Dutch take this for granted; they even tend to believe these cycle paths have existed since the beginning of time. But that is certainly not the case. This was a time in the 1950s and 1960s, when cyclists were under severe threat of being expelled(除名) from Dutch cities by the growing number of cars. Only thanks to fierce activism and a number of decisive events would Amsterdam succeed in becoming what it is, unquestionably, now: the bicycle capital of the world.12.

One is writing growth, and the other is writing caducity(衰老).One is describing success, and the other is presenting failure. In other words, one is drawing happiness and the other is showing sorrow as well.Life is like a heavy truck, so happiness and sorrow are like the wheels. No cross,no crown. No pain, no joy. _17_ One is that to live a day is to leave a day. The other is that to live a day is to enjoy a day. Just one word difference, it has reflected the complete reverse(相反的) state of psychology. Life is like the course which is investing(投资) all the time. 18When you have it, you should use it well and make it develop great actions. Please remember, the active attitude creates wonderful life, or the negative attitude wastes lifetime. 19 When she was about to knock at the door, she heard someone speaking in the room. A little girl said,Would you like some braised(炖熟的) pork today? Another girl said,No. I would like some toasted chicken. Following the words, the lady knocked at the door and went into the room. 20 To her surprise, there were only some pieces of thin and dry bread, two cold potatoes and a jar of water on the table.

She was 25 unafraid and seemed to be 26 about what he was doing.Tom saw the 27 bird several times, and she got more comfortable around him. We quickly grew 28 of the bird and decided to call her Mildred.One day, as Tom was working, Mildred came within a few feet of him to watch. Tom 29 he didnt see her and kept working to see what she would do next.Apparently, she didnt like to be 30 . Shed run up and peck (啄) at Toms hands, then 31 off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the 32 and left.As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to 33 more and more often. 34 Mildred felt comfortable enough to jump up on Toms leg and stay long enough for me to get a 35 of the two of them together. This friendly grouse soon felt 36 not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by.When hunting season opened, we put a 37 at the end of our driveway asking 38 not to shoot our pet grouse.

By the way【答案】【语篇解读】本文作者讲述了自己一家人和一只松鸡的故事。21. D interesting有趣的；reasonable合理的；impossible不可能的；unusual不寻常的。根据上文作者对此事感到惊讶I was still amazed和下文中对松鸡性情的介绍they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching.可知松鸡和人密切接触的情况是不常见的。22. B though 尽管；because因为；unless除非；until直到。前句提到theyre hard to spot人们很难看到松鸡，后句内容说它们见到人类的接近就会飞走，由此可知人们很难见到松鸡的原因是它们惧怕人类，后句和前句是因果关系。25. D naturally自然地；certainly 当然地；normally正常地；surprisingly令人惊讶地。从上文内容可知松鸡是怕人的，见到人就飞走，而这只松鸡不怕人，所以让人惊讶。26. B crazy疯狂的，着迷的；curious好奇的；concerned关心的；cautious小心的。从空前内容可知松鸡不怕人，由此推断应该是好奇Tom在做什么，其他不符合语境。27. C shy 害羞的；awkward尴尬的；friendly 友好的；elegant优雅的。从后句内容可知这只松鸡不怕Tom，而且在他身边越来越自在，此外在文章倒数第二段也提到friendly grouse，由此可知这只松鸡是友好的。28. C careful小心的；tired厌倦的；fond喜欢的；sick恶心的，生病的。从空后内容可知作者和丈夫给松鸡取了名字，由此判断他们对这只松鸡越来越喜欢，be fond of 意思是喜欢。29. D 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。supposed认为，猜想；realized意识到；hoped希望；pretended假装。前面提到Tom看到松鸡走近他身边，后面又说没看到她，由此判断他是假装没看见，想看看松鸡会如何反应。30. A ignored忽略，不理睬；observed观察，遵守，庆祝；amazed感到惊讶；disturbed打扰。上文提到Tom故意装作没看到这只松鸡，空后又描述松鸡去啄Tom的手，由此判断松鸡是想引起Tom的注意，不想被忽视。31. B put放；back后退；place安置，放；take带走。从描述的情景可以推测松鸡啄了Tom之后就退后看他的反应，选B。32. A game游戏；work工作；place地方；man人。根据上文的叙述可知在Tom不理睬松鸡的情况下，松鸡反反复复地去啄Tom，然后看他的反应，这对它来说是一种游戏。33. B give up 放弃；come out出来；turn over翻转；fly by飞过。根据下文内容可知夏天到了松鸡更加频繁地外出走动了。34. A Eventually 最终；Suddenly突然；Constantly不断地；Presently目前地。从上文内容可知松鸡一点一点地接近人类，胆子越来越大，最后都飞到Tom身上，由此判断答案选A。37. B lantern灯笼；sign 招牌；gun 枪支；loudspeaker扬声器。根据情理可知要想提醒人们应该是树立起一个警示牌，而且空前动词put也只能和sign构成搭配。38. C drivers司机；farmers农民；hunters猎人；tourists游客。从情理可知四个选项中会猎杀动物的只有猎人，而且通过下文猎人与松鸡拍照也可以判断作者是提醒猎人们不要猎杀他们的松鸡。39. D just 仅仅；yet 然而；thus因此；also也。前面内容提到作者竖起牌子警示人们不要猎杀这只友好的松鸡，而父亲同时也警告人们别猎杀那只松鸡，由此可知答案选D。40. A In fact 事实上；For long很长时间；On the contrary相反；By the way 顺便说。上文提到作者和家人都提醒人们不要去伤害这只松鸡，而猎人
