Bad weather can be waiting to meet you. Ice might be hiding under the snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you might suddenly move across the road. Here are two rules for driving safely on icy roads:Rule Number One is to drive smoothly. Irregular movements can make a car very difficult to manage. So each time you either turn the wheel, touch the brake or increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Just imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. You should drive carefully enough in order that you wouldnt get the coffee out of the cup.Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the farther you have to look down the road. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally speaking, allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times, or you will get into trouble.67. Driving in winter is dangerous because _. A. drivers usually have too much coffeeB. people drive three times faster than usual C. unexpected things may often happenD. people drive more gently and slowly68. Rule Number One mainly tells us _.A. to drive fast on snowy roadsB. to increase the driving speedC. to manage your car irregularlyD. to drive smoothly on icy roads69.

Because drinks are important for drivers.D. Because he wants drivers to have a rest.70. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Winter Driving B. Careless Driving C. Traffic Accidents D. Bad Weather 五、单词拼写 （根据所给单词的首字母或中文含义，写出最合适的单词。10小题 计5分）71. China is my _（祖国）and we all love her.72. He was too lazy and never did any homework.
