a. not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. b. none of them can see deep red. c. none of them can tell the difference between blue and green. d. all of them see everything in shades of green. b as my dad unwrapped(打开) the new bicycle helmet（头盔）that i got him for his birthday, i realized that a number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet. due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places. where i live, there has been a law in place since october 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. my dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to rockland lake state park. one afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness(知觉). when he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading up to his fall. later that day, a cat scan showed that he had a concussion (脑震荡). that evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization. if he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. today, when my dad and i go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.20. according to the passage, which of the following statements is ture? a. young men neednt wear helmets. b. the writers father didnt wear a helmet until the writer bought him one. c. people dont have to wear helmets on smooth surface roads. d. accidents do not happen to the best cyclists. 21. in the writers opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets? a. because a law requires them to do so. b. because many people like wearing bicycle helmets. c. because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets. d. because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.22 the underlined part “we both came to a shocking realization” in paragraph 4 means “_”. a. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet b. we were shocked to see the broken helmet c. we realized that young people neednt wear helmets d. only old people should wear helmets23. from the accident that happened to the writers dad, we can infer that _. a. the cyclists should follow the law b. his dad was not worried about this accident c. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets d. everyone should care about life c bob was born in cambridge. when he was in elementary school, he asked his mother to take him to parks in their community so he could collect empty soda cans (罐) to recycle. his mother agreed, as long as he saved part of the money he earned for college. bobs mother remembers bob as the most determined of her seven kids. bobs hard work paid off. on friday, he will become the first person in his family, originally from el salvador, to graduate from college. and hes graduating with university honors. for his honors thesis（毕业论文）he researched unmanned solar-powered(太阳能) airplanes, which byu students have been building and testing for about 10 years. bobs study helps discover the best way to fly a solar-powered airplane so that it uses the least amount(数量) of power. the goal is to design and build an airplane that flies uncertainly. bobs thesis helps lay the basis for this work. “my parents were always hard-working,” bob said. “they often tell us hard work leads to success.” bobs father taught him to read at the age of 3, and his mother is currently a student at utah valley university in a way to becoming a dentist. bob recognized he overcame some obstacles(障碍)to get where he is. for starters, english is his second language. he also faced stereotypes（模式化的形象）. although bob never doubted that he would be a college graduate, other people believed he wouldnt because he didnt come from a family of high income. there were other obstacles as well, but bob viewed them all as opportunities. bobs mother says she feels very happy and proud that her son is about to graduate with honors, and remembers the effort hes made to get there. “he has worked very hard. he started something, and now he has finished it,” cathy says. “i have always told him, if this is your dream, then you can get it! keep working hard and you can get it!” 24. from the passage we can know that bobs honors thesis _ . a. makes his mother feel surprised b. helps to save the power of flying a solar-powered airplane c. is done with byu students d. doubts the way of flying a solar-powered airplane 25. according to the passage, bob _ . a. researched unmanned solar-powered airplanes for 10 years b. paid for all his study by collecting empty soda cans c. worked hard and has graduated from college d. was affected by his family and has made some achievements 26. people thought bob couldnt graduate from college because _ . a. his parents had little money to support him b. his teacher didnt think he could graduate c. he didnt work hard on his study d. he didnt dare to face the obstacles for short of confidence 27. it can be inferred that _ . a. bobs mother is on the way to becoming a dentist b. bobs mother works in their community. c. bons father will graduate from utah valley university on friday d. bobs father learnt to read at the age of 3 d ever since jonathan had set up a house in compton street, he had looked after it very carefully. he worked hard in the garden every sunday and set out to impress the neighbours with his flower beds and lawn. (草地) before he left the house in the mornings, he carefully closed all the doors downstairs, opened some windows to let the air in and locked the front gate. everything jonathan did was tidy and systematic. one summer evening jonathan returned home as usual at five minutes to seven precisely (正好). when he opened the front gate, he immediately noticed something strange. there was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the flower beds. jonathan was just going to blame the milkman or the postman when he noticed that one of the curtains in the front room downstairs was out of place. jonathan never left anything out of place. he walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. the front-room door was half-open. jonathan studied it thoughtfully, wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. he had never forgotten before. he stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. the shadow of a man was clearly reflected (反射)on the far wall in the evening sunlight. he had obviously been standing behind the door since jonathans return. jonathan grasped the door-handle, slammed(猛推) the door and turned the key. then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall and set about calling the police. three minutes later the police arrived. jonathan was a little annoyed that he had to have dinner later than usual, but on the whole he felt quite pleased with himself.28. the first paragraph mainly tells us that jonathan was _. a. a hard-working man b. a kind person c. rather set in his living ways d. very clever29. what made jonathan feel strange immediately he opened the front gate?
