高一英语假期检测题一第一部分 阅读理解 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）a have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe? maybe you did a dangerous trick (杂耍动作) on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet (头盔） and thought you couldnt get hurt. the psychology (心理) of this sort of behavior is called the peltzman effect, named after sam peltzman, professor of economics at the university of chicago. peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously. peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts (安全带). driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers behavior. because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. they are better protected in accidents, so they act more dangerously. this makes driving more hazardous to other drivers. the peltzman effect isnt just limited ( 限于) to driving. in 1972, the american food and drug administration (fda) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. the safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine, especially painkillers such as aspirin. requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. because the safety caps are so hard to take off, some people leave them off altogether. worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. a study on the peltzman effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps. the peltzman effect describes how we re likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. whats more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from whatwe expect.1. what is the peltzman effect?a. people feel safest when they are under protection.b. people behave less safely when they feel safe.c. people who act dangerously are likely to be together.d. something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe.2. what does the underlined word hazardous in paragraph 2 mean?a. expensive. b. interesting. c. important. d. dangerous.3. why do some people leave the safety caps of medicine bottles open?a. the caps can t be opened easily.b. the caps don t work at all.c. the bottles without caps are less attractive to kids.d. the bottles are out of the reach of children.4. what would be the best title for the text?a. types of decision makingb. unsafe safety measuresc. different behaviors of people in dangerd. people s fear of taking risksb i had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at st. annes college of further education. in celebration of this new beginning, i had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing. like many young people my age, i was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public. but for my first day as a student i had made an effort to look what my mother called respectable. there were fifteen of us, sitting in the theatre hall, while the head of the drama department, mr wilson, gave us a warm welcoming speech. to my horror (恐惧), he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course. i had no idea what i would say. the truth was that although i had a taste for unusual clothing, i was painfully shy. my worry grew as it came closer to my turn. one by one, the new students excitedly explained their reasons. then it was the turn of a girl who i hadnt really noticed until that moment because i was too busy thinking about what i would say.my names tracy and im from blackburn, she said, and then added no further information. everyone smiled politely in silence but i was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (压力). i relaxed, knowing that you could get away with saying so little about yourself. it gave me confidence. after mr wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch, i managed to find the courage to go up to tracy. she looked very unfriendly. taking a deep breath, i introduced myself. to my surprise, she looked up at me and gave me a very bright, sweet smile. that was twenty-seven years ago, and although we never did become famous stars, were still best friends.5. why did the author change her appearance for her first day at college? a. she was under pressure from her mother.

friend to sleep over. her mom, who had told me before she did not allow sleepovers, explained that she did not think the kids were ready for a sleepover until the age of 10. i then started to wonder whether there actually was a right age for a sleepover. i remember the first real sleepover i ever had. it happened when i was about 13 and a friend of mine invited me to sleep at her house. luckily for me, her parents were not strangers. i think i cried for 2 months straight before being allowed my first sleepover. my parents were not completely heartless, though. i was actually sick at the time and had to take medication and they were very concerned about that, but i still did not like them saying no. i remember my excitement the day before i finally got my sleepover. i could not sleep that night from the excitement. when i got there, my friend s house looked so beautiful and her parents were so nice and welcoming. unfortunately though, the number of sleepovers i had throughout my childhood can be counted on two hands. and after every one of them, i realized exactly how much i was missing. it was only as an adult, when i was studying education, that i actually learned about theimportance of sleepovers in kids development no matter how old they are. a sleepover is one of those things every child needs to experience on their own. it can do them a lot of good.9. the friend of the author s daughter _ a. is less than ten years old b. is too sick to sleep over c. has grown tired of sleepovers d. never listens to her mother10. how was the author s first sleepover?a. she can t remember it. b. it was really boring. c. she thinks it was enjoyable. d. it was a painful experience.11. the author writes the text mainly to _ a. discuss how strict parents should be b. explain what kids development is c. ask parents to keep an eye on their childrend. encourage children to have sleepoversd in the summer of 2014, about 17 million people posted videos of themselves dumping (倾倒) ice water over their heads. even many famous people, including singer-songwriter taylor swift, basketball player lebron james, and former u.s. president george w. bush, took part. why did they do such a strange thing? those in the ice bucket challenge all helped raise awareness (意识) and money to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als), a deadly disease. it is also known as lou gehrig s disease, after a famous baseball player who had it. it destroys neurons (nerve cells) that control muscle (肌肉) movement. each year, about 5,600 people in the u.s. are diagnosed (诊断) with als. the disease leads to the inability to move. many people die two to five years after learning they have it. right now, theres no right treatment for als. but the ice bucket challenge may help lead to one. before the ice bucket challenge, few people knew about this terrible disease, jonathan ling said. he is one of the scientists at johns hopkins university in maryland. his team was unable to complete its research without the money raised through the ice bucket challenge, ling says. through their research, ling and his team discovered that a protein (蛋白质 ) is damaged in most als patients. the scientists also found that nerve cells with these damaged proteins die quickly. but when the scientists put a new protein that acted like the damaged one into the nerve cells, the neurons came back to life! thanks to the team s research, experts believe they may be one step closer to a treatment that slows down or even stops als. still, more research needs to be done, ling admits. with that in mind, the als association is promising that the ice bucket challenge will continue every august until a good treatment is found.12. what can we learn about als? a. no one knows how to treat the disease. b. it is also named after a singer. c. people will die a few days after they have it. d. it can make people lose the ability to hear.13. what might be lings attitude to the ice bucket challenge? a. worried. b. doubtful. c. uninterested. d. thankful.14. according to the text, ling s team _ a. knows little about als b. is now short of money c. has made some progress d. needs more researchers15. what would be the best title for the text? a. how the ice bucket challenge started b. the ice bucket challenge and als c. jonathan ling, great als researcherd. some little-known facts

judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter a or e.16by now, the girl knewshe had misspelled the word. but instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she toldthe truth that she had said the wrong letter. 17 as the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girls courage and honesty, even when itcost her the contest. 18 probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would neverget
