When the movie was over, the crowd made for the exits. A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area. No one slipped due to the wet conditions, but someone did manage to knock over the sign. And by the time Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell. Unfortunately Ms. Brown had undergone a back operation, and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have. So she and her husband sued (提起诉讼)AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger, and therefore, courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed (继续进行). AMC referred to a case about a December, 1998 incident, where a “wet floor” sign, not in use, fell to the floor causing another tripandfall. In that case, Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store, but didnt go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldnt give rise to legal liability (责任) in tripandfall accidents. In the Brown case, the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was, itself, dangerous, because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards (危险)” Thats right the safety sign, used in the way it was designed, was itself dangerous. The court thankfully didnt accept that argument, at least not entirely. But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury (陪审团) “a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”语篇解读：本文主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC影院看完电影离开时，被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒受伤后，向法院提起诉讼的原因以及法院的审判结果。1According to the text, Ms. Brown .Aslipped on the wet floorBtripped over a warning signCknocked over a warning signDwas knocked down by the crowd解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor .Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell.”可知，布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒了。B项中的tripped over意为“被绊倒”，与文章表述相符，故选B项。C项中的knocked over意为“打翻；撞倒”；slipped on意为“滑动的”；knocked down意为“击倒”。不符合文意。2AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to .Aaccept its legal liability for Ms. Browns lossBprove Ms. Brown had some physical problemsCstress that it had no legal liability for the accidentDprove other customers were responsible for the accident解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“AMC argued that . encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed (继续进行)”可知，AMC影院认为布朗夫人的控诉不成立，法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌，接着第二句AMC影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测，AMC影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。故选C项。3What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?AIt would be judged by jury.BIt would not be allowed to proceed.CThe court would rule in favor of AMC.DThe court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.解析：选A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury (陪审团)”可知，法院提请陪审团来审理此案。故选A项。4The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”AdangerBcustomerCbusiness owner Dequipment in public places解析：选A代词指代题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险，而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测，one指代上文中的danger。故选A项。.阅读七选五The effect of bullying (欺凌) can be serious and even lead to tragedy. Unfortunately, not much research is done into it. 1 That year, two students with shotguns, both of whom had been considered gifted and who had been bullied for years, killed 13 people, wounded 24 and then committed suicide. A year later, an analysis by the US. government found that bullying played a major role in more than twothirds of the campus violence. 2 Many invaders throughout history have tried to defend their bullying behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied. 3 Although there is no justification (正当的理由) for bullying, many of the worst humans in history have indeed been bullies and victims of bullying.Since bullying is often ignored, it may provide an important clue in crowd behavior and passerby behavior. Psychologists have been puzzled by the coldness of crowds and bystanders when crimes occur in crowded places. 4 When someone is bullied, it is not only the bully and the victim who are becoming less sensitive to violence. 5 In this sense, bullying affects not only the bullied but his friends and classmates and the whole society.AResearch indicates that the victim often becomes the bully.BMany of them have suggested bullying as one of the reasons of the coldness.CMore attention should be paid to peoples reaction to bullying when it happens.DHitler, for example, is claimed to have been a victim of bullying in his childhood.ECampus bullying is becoming a serious problem in some high schools in big cities.FThe friends and classmates of the bully and the victim also accept the violence as normal.GThe link between bullying and school violence has attracted increasing attention since 1999.语篇解读：被大家忽视的欺凌行为变得逐渐严重，甚至导致悲剧的发生。欺凌行为不仅影响到受欺负的人本身，也会影响到他的朋友和同学，乃至整个社会。1选G根据下一句中的That year可知，此处应该有具体年份的出现。故选G项，意为“欺凌和校园暴力之间的联系自从1999年以来已经引起了越来越多的注意”。2选A根据空后的“.have tried to defend their bullying (欺凌) behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied.”可知，历史中的许多侵略者通过声称自己是被欺凌的来给自己的欺凌行为辩护。再结合段末的“victims of bullying”可知，此处指曾经的受害者往往会变成施暴者。故选A项。3选D上文中提到历史中有很多这样的人，所
