stop sign violations (违反)it was something that happened to others. but last friday i joined the club.i was asked to do a new project last week. on friday morning on my way to work，i suddenly remembered that i had spent the past six weeks without considering that i had a weeks vacation planned during that time. i was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it. the fact is that i was not paying enough attention to my driving and i did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. i was so distracted (思想不集中的)that i didnt even notice i had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. finally i looked in my mirror and caught on.the policeman was rude and took my papers. fortunately，i had everything up to date and since i had never had a ticket before，there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. while i was sitting there in the seat of “shame”，i felt bad. if i had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road，perhaps i would have not reacted as well as i could have. it was a wake-up call.people at work asked me if i tried to talk my way out of it. frankly，it never occurred to me. i felt guilty. now i no longer have a clean driving record. please be careful out there，as a moments distraction can lead to tragedy.45what is this passage mainly about?athe writers most unforgettable experience.bhow the writer got her

thebustrip to the place of the competition is free.cfrom old times, crows (乌鸦) have been famous for their cleverness. they use tools, work out problems, and even enjoy playing. scientists have studied carefully how crows go about these activities. to make tools, crows cut off leaves with their “mouths”, shape them, and use them to look for bugs (虫子) in wood or plants. just as a carpenter carries his tools with him, a crow will carry its tool around. when the leaf isnt needed for the moment, the bird stores the tool at its feet or somewhere else.to test wild crows abilities to work out problems, scientists placed food outdoors in covered bowls. they watched with interest as the birds smartly opened the bowls to get the food. scientists also found out that crows can make use of the traffic. for example, crows would drop a nut on the road and wait for a car to run over the nut to break it.besides, crows seem to enjoy playing. young crows will carry a stick or nut into the air, drop it, and fly to catch the object as it falls.so just how smart are crows? perhaps a crow will never do tricks as a dog will. but scientists agree that theres a lot going on in the brain of a clever crow. 53. we learn from paragraph 2 that a crow may store the _ at its feet or somewhere else.a. leafb. mouthc. woodd. bowl54. scientists placed food outdoors in covered bowls in order to test _.a. whether crows make toolsb. whether crows enjoy playingc. how much crows like the food d. how crows work out problems55. the writer uses a(n) _ to show how crows make use of the traffic.a. surveyb. guessc. exampled. experiment56. this passage mainly discusses the _ of crows.a. tricksb. foods c. happinessd. clevernessdas we all know, nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair, and shells as a thick hide. but man has nothing but a thin skin. if someone were to ask you, why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?, most would answer, to keep themselves warm, of course. it is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with our need for warmth at all. for example, we wear clothes to some degree in order to decorate ourselves- to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified (powerful) or nicer. clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. the individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. the judge on the bench, for example, might look a very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig and gown. clothes are an important part of ceremony, whether it is connected with belief, the law, parliament, and royalty, the fighting forces or the state. how very different the queens coronation ceremony (加冕仪式) would have looked without the robes, coronets(王冠) and the cloth of gold. sometimes, even in some modern countries people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their beliefs. none of these reasons for wearing clothes- to decorate ourselves, to show our position in the world for ceremonial purposes, for luck, to give ourselves dignity and authority- have anything to do with our need for warmth.57. what does nature equip us human beings with? a. fur. b. shells. c. a thin skin. d. feathers.58. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. people wear clothes to decorate themselves. b. people wear clothes to keep them warm.c. clothes of a special kind are worn to show authority or power. d. some article of clothing is thought to be worn to bring people luck. 59. how is the passage organized?a. topicexplanationconclusionb. introductionexamplessummaryc. topicexamplesdiscussiond. explanationargumentconclusion 第ii卷
