about to arrive, the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight _16_ before setting down. high desert winds had _17_ the airport to close all but one runway. he said that we would be _18_ the city for a few minutes waiting to _19_. we were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile with our seat belts fastened _20_ there might be a few bumps(颠簸). well, that few minutes turned into about fortyfive minutes, including a ride that would make a roller coaster(过山车) _21_ by comparison. the movement was so fierce that several passengers felt _22_ and had to use airsickness bags. as you might guess, thats not a good thing to have happen in a(n) _23_ space because it only _24_ to increase the discomfort of the situation.about twenty minutes into the adventure, the entire airplane became very _25_. there was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be _26_ noticed. every passenger simply held on for dear life. except one. a _27_ was having a good time! with each bump of the _28_， he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑) of delight. as i observed this, i _29_ that he didnt know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his _30_. he neither thought about the past nor about the future. those are what we grownups have learned from _31_ . he was _32_ the ride because he had not yet been taught to fear it. having understood this, i took a deep breath and _33_ back into my seat, pretending i was _34_ on a roller coaster. i smiled for the rest of the flight. i even _35_ to giggle once or twice, much to the chagrin(懊恼) of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.语篇解读：在一次飞行旅行中，飞行员告诉乘客，受沙漠大风的影响，飞机将被迫延缓着陆而在目的地上空盘旋。并且，期间将会有几次大的颠簸，像过山车一样，乘客听后都很紧张，机舱内一片寂静，但是一名孩子却很享受这个过程，咯咯地笑着，一点也不害怕，正所谓“无知者无畏”。而我也受到了孩子的影响，努力享受这“过山车”了。16a.mistake bdelaycchange dwind答案：b由下文句意知，飞机受沙漠大风影响要延时着陆，故此处应是a slight delay(延迟)。17a.forced bwarnedcswept dreminded答案：a句意为：强烈的沙漠大风“迫使”机场关闭所有跑道，只剩下一条。force sb. to do sth.强迫某人干某事。18a.watching bvisitingccircling dcrossing答案：c由生活常识可知，飞机不着陆时，应是在某个地方的上空“盘旋(circle)”。19a.arrive bentercstop dland答案：d飞机盘旋不止，当然是在等待“着陆(land)”了。20a.if bthoughcbecause dwhile答案：c句意为：同时我们也被告知要坐在座位上，系好安全带，“因为”可能会有几次颠簸。由句意知上下句应构成因果关系，用because。21a.light bpaleceasy dquick答案：b此处句意指“相比之下，飞机的颠簸将会使过山车显得黯然失色”，意即“飞机颠簸得厉害”。pale adj. “苍白的，相形见绌的，黯然失色的”。22a.sick bnervouscangry dafraid答案：a本题关键是理解“airsickness bags(晕机袋)”，既然不得不使用晕机袋了，那肯定是部分乘客因为飞机颠簸而感到“恶心(sick)”。其它nervous和afraid应属于同义词，排掉；angry不符合语境。23a.empty bnarrowcsecret dopen答案：b这几句应理解为：在飞机如此“狭小(narrow)”的空间内呕吐并不是一件好事，因为它只会增加形势的不安。24a.happens bcontinuescfails dserves答案：dhappen to do sth.“碰巧干某事”；continue to do sth.“继续干某事”；fail to do sth.“未能干某事”；serve to do sth.“作用是；服务于”。由句意知应选d。25a.quiet bhotcdirty dcrowded答案：a此时的机舱内应是非常“安静”，因为大部分乘客都很紧张；也因此才能听见下文孩子的笑声。26a.partly bgraduallycshortly dclearly答案：d此时乘客们的焦虑和恐惧是很“明显地”，用clearly；partly“部分地”；gradually“逐渐地”；shortly“不久以后，很快”。27a.pilot bbabycguard dman答案：b此处应是“baby”和下文“we grownups”形成对比。28a.seats bpassengerscflight dairplane答案：d由句意知应是“飞机”的每次颠簸。29a.realized bhopedcagreed dinsisted答案：a句意为：我通过观察，才“意识(realize)”到孩子并不知道他应该害怕或者担心自己的安全。hope“希望”；agree“同意”；insist“坚持认为”。30a.health bsafetycjoy dfuture答案：b句意理解见上29。此处不可选future，否则和下句重复。31a.teachers bbookscexperience dpractice答案：c由下文“because he had not yet been taught to fear it”可知我们成年人应是从“老师”那里学到的。32a.learning btakingcmissing denjoying答案：d孩子很“享受”这样的飞行，因为他还不知道害怕，故用enjoy。其余不合句意。33a.sat blaycwent drode答案：a我深深地呼吸了一下，放松地“坐”回到自己的座位上去。34a.nearly bfinallycreally dsuddenly答案：c此时的我假装自己“真地(really)”是在坐过山车。句中pretending暗示要用really。35a.attempted bmanagedcwanted ddicided答案：b四个选项都可与to do“搭配”。attemp to do“试图去做(但未必成功)”；manage to do“努力/设法做到了”；want to do“想要做”；decide to do“决定去做”。由句意知应是在那种形势下，我真地能笑出声来，也因此惹恼了我临座的乘客。.阅读理解(每小题2分，共40分)阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c、d)中，选出最佳选项。arush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. commuters(道勤者)rush to and from their jobs in cars, buues, subways, trains, and even on bicycles. large cities in the united states have two rush hoursone in the morning and one in the evening. but in cities in other parts of the world, there are four rush hours. in athens and rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. after this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.in tokyo, theres a big rush hour underground. most of the people in tokyo take the subways. the trains are very crowded. subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors place. they make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains.in seoul, many commputers prefer to take taxis to get to work. to hail_a_cab,_many people stand at crossroads and riase two fingers. this means theyll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. some people even raise three fingers! theyll pay three times the normal rate.streets in rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行车)during rush hours. the city cant make its streets wider, and it cant build new highways, becuase it doesnt want to disturb many historic sites in the city, such as the forum and the colosseum. it took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古学家)in many big cities, there are special lanes on highways for carpools. these are groups of three or more people who driver to and from work together. they share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world. rush hour traffic seems to be a universal problem.36big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are_.aspeical lanes on highwaysbmany commuterscfour rush hoursdmany cars on the street答案：b从文中第一句话“rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. communters.in cars, buses, subways.”可找出答案。37most of commuters in tokyo_.atake subway trains to workbare packersctake taxis to workdcarry briefcases to work答案：a从文章中的第二段的第一句“in tokyo, theres big rush hour underground. most of the people in tokyo take the subways”可以找出答案。38to“hail a cab”means to_.apay double the normal ratebtry to get a cabcprefer to take taxisdto stand at crossroads答案：b从第三段可以找出答案。“in seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. to hail a cab, many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers.”“to hail a cab”意思等于“try to get a cab”。39why did it take a long time to build a subway system in rome?abecause the streets were very crowded.bbecause there are many historic sites.cbecause the workers discovered many artifacts and places of interest.dbecause the traffic always stopped the construction.答案：c由第四段最后两句可知。40commuters in carpools probably_.alive in the citybtake the subway to workcsave money on gas and parking feesdhave special license plates(牌照)答案：c从倒数第二段最后一句“they share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city”可以找出答案。bbelieve it or not, optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes.japan is a case in point. it has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion. bent stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.now the american automobile association foundation for traffic safety in washington d. c. is planning to repeat japans success. starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.excessive speed plays a major role in as much as on fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. to help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speedrelated hazards(危险)are the greatestcurves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half. however, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.chevrons, scientists say, not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. the result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.41the passage mainly discusses_.aa new way of highway speed controlba new pattern for painting highwaysca new approach to training driversda new type of optical illusion答案：a主旨大意题。文章的主题句往往位于文章的开头或是结尾，本文就在第一自然段。42on roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel_.athey should avoid speedrelated hazardsbthey are driving in the wrong lanecthey should slow down their speeddthey are approaching the speed limit答案：c细节题。文章最后一段，表明chevrons给驾车人的印象比他们开的实际的要快。而且路也变窄了，所以他们会放慢速度。43the american automobile association foundation for traffic safety plans to_.atry out the japanese method in certain areasbchange the road signs across the countrycreplace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsdrepeat the japanese road patterns答案：a细节题。由文章第三段最后一句话，他们将在选择的道路上实验这种方法。44what does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?athey are falling out of use in the us.bthey are applicable only on broad roads.cthey cannot be applied successfully to traffic rules.dthey tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.答案：d细节题。文章倒数第二段最后一句话“.within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.”可知。45the advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former_.acan keep drivers awakebcan cut road accidents in halfcwill have a longer effect on driversdwill look more attractive答案：c细节题。根据文章最后两段可以看出chevrons的优点在于效果长久。csome of beijing zoos animals are suffering menu changes because of the bird flu spread in asia.gone are the lions and tigers delightful“live”chicken dinners. in their menus, instead, are raw beef and mutton. while the lions and tigers go chicken less, the zoos brids are also receiving some special and uncomfortable treatment these days. the peacocks in befalling safari animal world, who used to be featured in the park and could walk around showing off their beautiful feathers, now are forced to stay in cages.and turkeys at the beijing zoobelieved to be most likely to suffer from the bird flu virus have been moved out of their old home to places separate from visitors. in most cases，display areas with birds have been closed for health reasons.yet a good thing about the present situation is that the living conditions of the zoos birds are being improved, with keepers keeping the display areas cleaner and not as crowded as before. almost all zoos have done more frequent cleaning and disinfection for bird cagesmeasures to prevent infection.in this special period, pigeons(鸽子)are_frowned_upon._in beijing, many homing pigeon lovers use balconies(阳台)to build cages for birds. most neighbours are fed up with these cages since they can produce waste and feathers. now the citys homing pigeon organization is asking all its members to stop letting pigeons out of their cages and keep cages clean. still, pigeons and some other birds seem less lovely to people than before.as a chinese newspaper put it“doves, are you still angels？”46which of the following shows the menu changes in the beijing zoo?athe lions and tigers have“live”chicken dinners.bthe lions and tigers eat raw beef and mutton.cthe lions and tigers have chickens only for supper.dthe lions and tigers have beef and mutton for part of meals.答案：b考查细节理解。由文章的第二段第一句话可以得出答案。47we can conclude from the text that_.aturkeys have been moved out of the zoo because of the bird flu virusbpeacock shows used to be free of chargecpeople can hardly see peacock shows in the beijing zoo nowdhoming pigeons are safe from the bird flu virus答案：c推断题。文章的第一段最后一句话：孔雀只好呆在笼子里，可以得出答案。48the underlined sentence in the text means“_”apigeons receive the best carebpeople are worried about pigeonscpeople feel displeased with pigeonsdpeople show no interest in pigeons答案：c推断题。文章的最后两段，叙述原本就有些让市民不喜欢的鸽子，这下更不招人喜欢了。可以看出禽流感发生后人们对和平的使者鸽子的态度。dat one time no one could travel on an english road faster than four miles an hour. that was the law until 1896. a man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than man. at night the man had to carry a red lamp.once charles rolls brought a car from france to england, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. in order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers，who ordered their policemen to_look_the_other_way when the car came along the road. this was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of london.one night roils and some friends started from london on their journey to cambridge. one of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. the police became very interested in walls and shopfronts when they heard the car, and not one of them saw it.they reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. the slow car reached him.“good evening，” said the policeman, looking at the car.“good evening，” said rolls, holding the lamp.“one of these horseless things，” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.“yes，” said roils, and waited.“ive often wanted a ride in one. but of course policemen cant buy things like that.” he turned and looked hopefully in rolls face.“jump in.” said rolls.“thanks，” said the policeman, and did so.“ now, ”he said, “sitting down, you can let it go just as you like down this hill.there isnt another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”49the policemen were told“to look the other way”(the underlined part in paragraph 2)so that_.athey could watch the car coming from the other directionbthe car could go faster than four miles an hourcthey could make sure no one was in the waydthe car would not hit them on the road答案：b考查细节理解。从文章的第二段可知。50in what way did the policemen carry out the order from their offricers?athey greeted rolls when the car came along.bthey walked in front of the car with a red lamp.cthey pretended to be attracted by something else.dthey stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.答案：c考查细节理解。从文章的第三段可知。51the policeman who said“good evening”to rolls wanted to_.ateach roils a lessonchave a talk with rollsbtake a free ride homedhave a car ride experience答案：d通读全文可以看出警察拦住车并非要处罚rolls，他只是想感受一下坐车的感觉。52after t
