We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person _17_ the way they occupied the space around themfor example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly aware of others. Such people never bump into other people.However, _18_second person thought that this was _19_ a question of civilized behavior than good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, which he said was quite well known, _20_ an American who had been invited to an Arab meal in one of the countries of the Middle East. The American _21_ (tell) very much about the kind of food he might expect. _22_ he had known about Arab food, he might have behaved better. Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much like a napkin (餐巾）. _23_ (pick) it up, he put it into his collar, so that it fell across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, said nothing, _24_ immediately copied the action of his guest. And that, said _25_ second person, was a fine example of good manners. 阅读(共两节满分50分) 高#考#资#源#网第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A“There were no rush hours any more,” said Charles M. McLean, who runs the nations busiest road. “We have rush periods, and they keep getting longer and longer.”McLean was describing Chicagos 235 mi1es of expressway. But the same might be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of American city life-and about the heavy traffic that often blocks them.In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls traffic on the citys seven expressways. Now one man- a controller- can follow the movement of Chicagos traffic by looking at a set of lights.The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile apart. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room.A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic-cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour“See that red light near Austin Avenue?” the controller asked a visitor. “Thats a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again. “A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,” the controller explained. “They cant speed up as fast as cars.”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by l8 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicagos expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6.Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”. Systems like Chicagos are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston. “Chicago has taken the lead,” says New York Citys traffic director; and he adds, “We are far behind.!”26.What the main idea of the passage? A. A Computerized Traffic Control System greatly helps in Chicago. B. Rush Periods in Chicago are getting longer. C. Chicago has the busiest road in the nation. 高#考#资#源#网 D.

The sensor can immediately deal with the accidents.C. The system has greatly helped to reduce the deaths on the expressways.D. At the entrance to the expressway, the lights can change only because of the speed of the truck28. By saying “Chicago has taken the lead,” the director means _.A.

Why did the controller ask a visitor?A. He wants to tell him how the lights work.B. He cited it as an example to show the visitor what the lights tell. C. He shows the visitor what he does.D. He was teaching him how to control the system.30. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A science book B. A travel journal.C. A magazine D. A student textBIn families with two working parents, fathers may have more impact on a childs language development than mothers, a new study suggests.Researchers recruited 92 families from 11 child care centers before their children were a year old, interviewing each to establish income, level of education and child care arrangements. Over all, it was a group of well-educated middle-class families, with married parents both living in the home.When the children were 2, researchers videotaped them at home in free-play sessions with both parents, recording all of their speech. The study will appear in the November issue of The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.The scientists measured the total number of utterances of the parents, the number of different words they used, the complexity of their sentences and other aspects of their speech. On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but they did not differ in the length of utterances or proportion of questions asked. Finally, the researchers analyzed the childrens speech at age 3, using a standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were the mothers level of education, the quality of child care and the number of different words the father used. The researchers are unsure why the fathers speech, and not the mothers, had an effect. “Its well established that the mothers language does have an impact,” said Nadya Pancsofar, the lead author of the study and a graduate research assistant at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina. It could be that the high-functioning mothers in the study had already had a strong influence on their childrens speech development, Ms. Pancsofar said, “Or it may be that mothers are contributing in a way we didnt measure in the study.” 31. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. How were children influenced by their parents?B. A new study was done about the children in families with two working parents.C. Fathers influenced a childs language developmentD. Fathers had a greater effect on the growth of children.32. Which of the following statements is true? A. The children were chosen at random.B.

According to the study, _. A. mothers function in the childrens speech development is high.B. every aspect of the influence on the childrens speech development is not involved.C. fathers words were less than mothers and they did not differ in their statements.D. the standardized language test only concerned the education of mothers, the care children received and fathers words.34. What does the word “established” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. set B. developed C. proved D. recognized35. Why do fathers have a greater effect? A. The reasons are not clear.B. They do not change the length of their statements.C. Fathers seldom speak in the family.D. Fathers have a higher level of education than mothers.CEvery day on the road, accidents are caused. They do not only happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.36. This passage might be written to . Acollege studentsBdriversCordinary citizens Dbusinessmen37. “Accident-prone” in Paragraph 2 means .

Aaccidents mostly result from slippery roadsBaccidents are usually caused by psychological factorsCdoctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factoriesDabout 50,000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day39. Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage? AMoodBCarelessnessCTirednessDWeather40. What do you think would be the best title for the passage?
