On average, 458 trespassing pedestrians die each year, often while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Just what makes them so dangerous to pedestrians ? Trains are heavy. In fact, theyre 12 million pounds on average. If the engineer sees you near the track, he probably wont be able to stop in time. They are much harder to brake than a car or truck , and it can take over a mile to bring one to a complete halt. Even small ones take a long time to stop. A light-rail commuter train may not be as large as a freight train , but it still needs 600 feet or two football fields to stop. Trains are wide. Walking next to the rails is as dangerous as walking on them. Rail cars extend at least three feet beyond either side of the tracks, even more if loose straps are swinging in the wind.“ For the sake of safety, youll want to make sure that youre at least 15 feet away from the rail,” says Rose. “ Technically , people shouldnt enter anywhere on a railroad right-of-way and that could extend for 50 feet on either side of the tracks.” Modern trains are quiet and can hide. Youd think that something as heavy as a warship would be easy to notice. But dont count on hearing one roaring toward you from a distance.They are also not so easy to see, if another train is blocking your view. If you are waiting for a train to passeven at a legal ,marked intersectiondont immediately cross as soon as its gone. A second one may be racing up from the opposite direction.24.Most trespassing pedestrians die each year due to _.A. careless driving B. low speed C. alcohol or drugs D. technical problems25.The underlined word “halt” in paragraph 3 means “_”. A. journey B. stop C. change D. reply26.How many reasons why trains are more dangerous to pedestrians are mentioned? A.Three B. Four C. Five D. Six 27.What Rose said suggests that _. A. people should try to stay away from the train B. he has been making efforts to reduce deaths C. 15 feet away from the rail can ensure your safety D. there exist few measures to keep people away from the rail C When people introduce themselves,I always hear them say Im just a housewife. I dont understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work inyour home？ How could you be just a housewife when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Dont think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer the love and affection of your family, their trust inyou, a happy home and your own satisfaction. It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money? Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; its time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes I am a housewife. Kick that just out.28. By listing a housewifes duties in Paragraph2 , the author means that a housewife_.A. does a very tiresome job but it mattersB. makes the biggest contribution to the familyC. is not always paid for her hard workD. actually leads a miserable life29. According to the author, the true value of housewives lies in the following except _.

What does the author advise housewives to do when they introduce themselves? A Take care not make a mistake. B. Pick up self-confidence and pride. C. Understand the significance of their jobs. D. Try to make others understand their life.31. How does the passage mainly develop ? A .By making comparisons. B. By giving examples. C .By raising some questions. D. By following the order of time. DWe have long been told that using mobile phones on airplanes could be dangerous. “It could interfere (扰乱) with the planes communication network,” flight staff might say.What they really mean could be: “If you dont put your phone away then you alone will be responsible for crashing this plane.”Well, as it turns out, this might not be true after all.New guidelines, sent out last month by The European Aviation (航空) Safety Agency, said that electronic devices (设备) do not cause a safety risk during flights. It means that iPod lovers and mobile phone chatterboxes (话痨) can enjoy their devices on planes, as long as the airlines choose to allow them. It is not only Europe that has made a U-turn on the rule. Earlier this year, some US and Canadian airlines lifted their restrictions but said that all devices must be kept in “airplane mode”. But the issue is still being hotly debated. There have been many studies into the safety of electronic devices on flights and the results are often different. One study in 2003 found that the electromagnetic (电磁的) radio transmitters (发送器) in some personal devices could affect the basic functions of the cockpit, such as GPS (global position system), which ensure safe landings. However, the report also said that there is no evidence of this being the cause of an accident so far. Some will be happy with the new rules. They will look forward to proper arrival times and no more waiting around at airports. They will also look forward to no more missed calls, piles of text messages, or wondering whats happened. Others wont be so happy. If you happen to be seated next to a chatterbox, say goodbye to sleep and hello to boring “Im on a plane” conversations. But you dont need to worry so soon. Unless you have a satellite phone, theres no signal at 33,000ft (10 km). Since calls can be made through Wi-Fi, airlines will have to install(安装）Wi-Fi so that passengers can start sending texts and making calls. And until they do so, flights remain one of the only safe places to hide from the world of endless e-mails and phone calls.32. What do the new guidelines released by The European Aviation Safety Agency last month say? A. Electronic devices are not allowed to be used during flights. B. The use of electronic devices during flights has turned out to be safe. C. Passengers who choose European airlines are allowed to use their personal devices on airplanes. D. Passengers can use their electronic devices on airplanes as long as they keep them in “airplane mode”.33. According to the study in 2003 mentioned in the article, _. A. the cockpit, with functions such as the GPS, is vital to safe landings B. electronic devices are completely safe to use on planes C. the use of electronic devices doesnt affect the basic functions of a plane D. no accidents have been proven to be caused by the use of electronic devices on planes up to now34.Which of the following statements is true based on the article ? A.So far, no airline has said yes to using electronic devices on flight. B. There are various conclusions about the studies on the security of electronic devices on flight. C. Canada has permitted using electronic devices on flight. D.Youll always find flights a wonderful hiding place from a world of endless e-mails and phone calls.35. Why does the author say “But you dont need to worry so soon”? A. Because satellite phones will be available in the near future. B. Because airlines have not yet been able to install Wi-Fi in the high sky. C. Because people cannot make calls via their electronic devices in the sky without signals. D. Because there will soon be a settled conclusion on whether using electronic devices aboard is safe or not.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We believe that the universe will give us repeated opportunities to learn what we need to learn. 36 The universe will patiently start setting up conditions for the next lesson on the same topic. This implies that anything that has happened on a regular basis in your life might be part of a lesson you need to learn. A pattern in your life is generally some problem that happens over and over. Most people, when they become aware of negative patterns in their life,will think “ I need to avoid these patterns!” 37 The trick to breaking a negative pattern is not to avoid it , but to welcome the lesson which is trying to teach you. Think about what needs to change yourself to solve the problem. You cannot change anyone but yourself ,so focus on your changes. Dont say , “ My coworkers needs to be less annoying,” but say , “How can I change my attitude so I can see the best in my coworker?” 38 Positive patterns dont indicate lessons you need to learn, but indicate areas where youre doing the right thing. Theyre encouragement to you to continue your good behavior . A positive pattern may also indicate an area where you have a real gift that you should continue to explore and share with others. There are also neutral patterns,events neither good nor bad. Things like suddenly hearing five people in three days talk about a particular book. 39 We believe everyone is here on the earth to learn something , and the universe will give us plenty of opportunities to learn our lessons. 40 Once you take responsibility , you can use the following techniques to begin to find guidance. Above all, with any guidance , make sure it makes sense to your values.A. You can also have positive patterns.B. We reuse to learn a lesson every time.C. The key to finding guidance is to start being responsible for your own growth.D. Otherwise, you may not be able to live a good life.E. You will also want to develop your own method for finding guidance.F. These patterns may suggest that you go in a direction you need.G. Unfortunately , this avoids the lesson they need to learn.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Im busy every day.
