of 300 people all your life going to a big town of a couple of thousand people is really something I don t remember too much about it But there was one that I will never forget the 39 race The parents tied our feet together One little boy got me for a 40 He was the second most 41 boy in our class so he usually won at everything and I knew that with me tied to him he didn t have a chance And I m sure he knew he was in trouble The gun sounded and we were off Some couples were falling and stumbling all around us 42 we stayed on our feet and made it to the other side 43 when we turned around and headed back for home we were in the lead Only one couple had a chance to win and they were a good several yards behind us A few feet from the finish line disaster struck I tripped and fell We were 44 enough that my partner could have easily dragged me across the finish line and won But he didn t Instead he stopped 45 down and helped me up just at the other couple crossed the finish line As a result we received a small red ribbon for coming in second I still remember that moment when the young boy decided that helping a friend get on her feet was more important than winning a blue ribbon

begin As the roller coaster got up higher and higher however my heart started to beat 50 hard that I even could see my shirt move up and down I could feel the wind getting stronger and brushing through my hair Then the big drop came I closed my eyes and told 51 that it would be over in two seconds but it felt like forever I was pushed up from my seat as if I 52 to be thrown out of the car 53 the time I finished the ride I could barely stand up or speak So when my friends asked me 54 I thought of the ride I just answered with silence No matter how hard I tried I could not make 55 sound PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION Directions Read the following three passages Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage A Aggressive pedestrians are in fact as dangerous as careless drivers They cause traffic accidents injury and death These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city over the world About 69 of last year s pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas They cross streets ignoring DON T WALK signals suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads blocking traffic These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road both for selfish reasons The drivers believe in the power of their machines If their machines can go faster they believe they have the right to go faster If their machines are bigger they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside Aggressive pedestrians on the other hand believe in the primacy 首位 of the individual the idea that they are first in any environment under any circumstances even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber Last year an estimated 5 220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents Some 69 000 pedestrians were injured On average that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes and one injured every eight minutes The good news is that the accident rate is dropping For example the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same disregard for traffic signals inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs Alcohol in fact was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths Of those 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users They can start by obeying traffic signals using marked cross walks and calling a cab when they ve had too much to drink 56 The passage is mainly about A how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents 6 B why so many Americans were killed on roads last year C what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were D who are to blame for pedestrian deaths drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians 57 What is the pedestrians selfish reason for traffic jams A They know all drivers are skilled and with great care B They believe individuals are always first C They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them D They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads 58 What was NOT the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the US a decade ago A Disregard for traffic signalsB Paying no attention to surroundings C Crossing roads drunk D Overspeeding driving 59 As one of all the road users what should we students do on busy roads A Obey traffic signals at crossroads B Run as fast as possible at crossroads C Talk on your cell phone if necessary D Always watch out for big trucks 60 What word can best describe the author s attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians A Excited B Cold C ConcernedD Inconnected B Christmas Easter and Birthday parties can be difficult times for grandmothers and parents as they rush around trying to arrange the perfect celebration or making everyone as

vieillesse pouvait si jeunesse savait which means roughly if age had the ability if youth had the knowledge I was reminded of this saying the other day when I saw an interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon 神经外科医生 now retired about the impact of computer technology on modern surgery He was referring to the difficulty people of his age had in using the new techniques but also to the fact that younger surgeons who are more comfortable with the technology lack some of the wisdom of experience It struck me that this problem is not just confined 局限于 to specialized fields such as medicine but is widespread in modern life There are many areas where the rapid growth of technology has widened the generation gap Young people are at ease with modern technology and propose all sorts of ways for using and developing it But they often lack the experience needed to see further into the future to the possible dangers that a particular development may cause 8 Older people see all sorts of difficulties and dangers but are sometimes ignored or even accused of being against progress if they point out potential problems Equally they may see potential uses but not have the technical skills to put them into practice themselves or the trust in the younger generation to do so Enthusiasm and inexperience come into conflict with caution and arrogance usually with unsatisfactory results for both sides What is needed is the development of a partnership based on mutual respect which can deliver real progress by combining enthusiasm and caution in a constructive way rather than in conflict with each other The old need to give the younger generation the time the resources and above all the authority to develop new ideas and use their skills In exchange the young need to turn more actively to the older generation to seek their advice and exploit their greater experience of the world in foreseeing and overcoming potential problems 66 The passage is mainly about A the impact of computer technology on modern surgery B an interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon C new generation gap between the old and the young D a conflict betwe
