That might not be a bad thing. Researchers have discovered that teenager drivers who have a high sensitivity (敏感性) to stress actually have lower rates of car accidents than adults.Car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers, so teen driving is a public health problem that is worth a lot of study.To create a stressful situation in the lab, scientists did a math test to 40 teenagers, all of whom had recently gotten their drivers licenses.The researchers found out the teens level of the stress hormone, hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙可体松) after the math quiz. The higher the cortisol level, the more sensitive a person is to stress.The researchers then followed and studied the teens for 18 months. And cameras fixed inside their cars recorded their driving behavior.The result was that the teens who had a lower response (反应) to stress actually had higher rates of accidents and near accidents than did those with higher stress sensitivity.Calm confidence can be a valuable thing in some situations. But behind the wheel perhaps the safer teen driver is just a bit nervous.( )21.Theunderlinedpart“behindthewheel”inthefirstparagraphmostprobablymeans.A.holdingthewheel B. drivingacarC.sittinginacar D.takingacar( )22.WhichofthefollowingstatementisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?A.Mostteendeathsarecausedbycaraccidents.B.Mostpeopledieofcaraccidentstheseyears.C.Thelesssensitiveteensaretostress,thelesslikelytheywillcausecaraccidents.D.Themoresensitiveteensaretostress,themorelikelytheywillcausecaraccidents.( )23.Whichofthefollowingmightbethebesttitleforthepassage?A.TeenagerDriversHaveFewerCarAccidentsB.StressIsGoodforRoadSafetyC.StressedTeensMayBeBetterDriversD.TheMoreStressed,theFewerAccidents( )24.Wecanlearnfromthepassagethat_.A.theteenswhohavealowerresponsetostressactuallyhavelowerratesofaccidentsB.themorecalmyouaredrivingacar,themorelikely（可能youwillhaveanaccidentC.thelevelofcortisolhasnothingtodowiththelevelofsensitivitytostressD.alittlebitnervousnessishelpfulforthesafetyofteendrivers( )25.Thepurposeofthispassageismainlyto_.A.telluswhysomanyteenagersarekilledinroadaccidentstodayB.explainthemaincauseofcaraccidentsC.sharethediscoveryofsomeresearchersD.advertiseascientificdiscoveryCMost brides(新娘) dream of having a white wedding which will make other womengreen with envy(忌妒).But one bride has instead painted herself and her husband-to-be （future husband） green, for their fairy-tale wedding based on the film Shrek.Amanda, 44, and Nathan Gibbs, 39, from Kingswinford, West Midlands planned their rather unusual ceremony after eight years together.After losing a number of friends to cancer, the couple decided to dress as thefairy-tale couple and use the day to raise money for charity.Dressed in full costume(剧装), the pair held the wedding this morning at Priory Hall near Dudley. Guests also dressed up for the themed celebrations - dressing up as the Gingerbread Man, Mickey Mouse and Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of The Caribbean.Instead of wedding gifts, the couple - who run anironingservice business, asked that people donate money to Cancer Research.Mr Gibbs said: “In the last 15 months weve lost seven of our customers to cancer. It just broke our hearts. We wanted to do something to get people to know how serious the problem is and help people in need.”The husband, who used to be a house builder, said the couple used to joke that if they ever got married, they would have a fairy-tale wedding.“It was a standing joke between us. All our friends started getting married and I said, When we do it, well have a fairy-tale wedding. Ill be Shrek and you can be Princess Fiona. ”Earlier this year we held an activityto collect money for Cancer Research and we were talking about what else we could do when Shrek came on the TV.

The passage is most probably taken from a .A. magazine B.newspaper C. poster D.guidebook DThe drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe youd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.”Alfreds face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know Im going to have to put you in prison（监狱）.”Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, Im Alfreds mother. Is he in trouble?”she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfreds mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel sorry. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I dont want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.”And he warmly shook Mrs. Higginss hand.Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mothers strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mothers face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.( ) 31. Why did Mr. Carr want to put Alfred in prison?A. Because he didnt like AlfredB. Because Alfred had stolen something from the store.C. Because Alfred was not good at workingD. Because Alfred had a fight with him( ) 32.The reason why Mr. Carr felt sorry was that _.Ahe thought Alfred was a good young manBhe should have called a policeman in firstCAlfreds mother appeared polite and gentleDhe found that Alfred in fact hadnt stolen anything( )33.Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?A“Please, for Gods sake, you know, he is just a kid.”B“I cant believe it! You are treating my son like that!”C“You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”D“Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”( )34.What does the underlined phrase his mothers strength(Para. 3) refer to?AMrs. Higginss calmness and communicating skills.BMrs. Higginss attitude towards parental sufferings.CMrs. Higginss love and care for her son Alfred.DMrs. Higginss greatness as a woman.( )35.After the incident, young Alfred would probably _.Afeel ashamed of her mother Bchange his attitudes towards lifeClearn to live an independent life Dhate Mr. Carr for hurting her mother三、词汇运用（本题有15小题，每小题1分；共计15分）A. 根据短文内容和首字母，写出空白处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles.
