safety.So its very important indeed to consider what you wear.Wear something that can easily be seen,red jackets,for example.You know many accidents happen,because drivers simply fail to see the cyclists.Second,dont try to ride too far,too quickly.Take your time,and if you feel tired,stop and rest.Remember that the joy of cycling tours is the ride itself.Get close to nature and see things you wouldnt normally see when you were traveling by car or bus.And if youre planning your journey in summer,take plenty of water.You are advised to drink at least one liter of water every hour.If the weather is not very warm,make sure you take some warm clothes.And put them on when you stop riding.Even in cold weather you can become very warm when you are riding and then it is very easy to catch a cold,or even get a fever when you stop.18.Why does the speaker give the lecture?A.To give some advice on the cycling tour.B.To explain the advantages of the cycling tour.C.To tell the listeners what to take for the cycling tour.答案A19.What should the cyclists not do during the cycling tour?A.Ride as far and quickly as possible.B.Take water in summer.C.Enjoy the riding itself.答案A20.In cold weather

total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nations capital.Bai Xiaolong,a 30-year-old truck driver,said it took him five days to make the 350-mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading,text-messaging and sleeping rather than speeding up.“There was one day that I didnt move,not even an inch,”said Bai,an inhabitant(居民) of Jining in Inner Mongolia,a city at the western end of the traffic jam.Chinese officials said that the congestion(堵塞) is mainly because of the maintenance(维护) projects that began in mid-August and are scheduled to be completed in mid-September.Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway,thus making the work necessary.Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life.“The problem is really that therere too many cars and trucks but not enough lanes(车道),”Bai said.“We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to Chinas coastal cities.The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110,which runs parallel(平行),when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.The GlobalTimes,an English-language newspaper,said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days,but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.The congestion has created an economy of its own.Vendors(小贩) sell boxed lunches,noodles and drinking water to the travelers,often at jacked-up prices.And because of the long-standing problems along the highways,dozens of small hotels have appeared,attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.21.During the congestion,Bai Xiaolong did all the following EXCEPT .A.sleepingB.text-messagingC.speeding upD.reading答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段的最后一句可知,在堵车的过程中,他除了睡觉、发短信,就是阅读,没有加速行驶。22.According to the text,the 110 was mainly damaged by .A.too many carsB.bad weatherC.poor maintenanceD.heavy trucks答案D解析细节理解题。从文章第四段最后一句及第六段可知,导致这条国道毁坏的主要原因是那些重型卡车。23.The underlined word “jacked-up” in the last paragraph probably means “”.A.highB.rightC.specialD.low答案A解析词义猜测题。因为堵车所以司机被困在那里,他们需要吃的和喝的,而一些商贩发现了这个商机,往往哄抬物价,由此可猜测出该词的意思是“很高的”。24.What would be the best title for the passage?A.The congestion creates an economy of its own.B.Traffic jam near Beijing stretches on for days.C.The traffic has improved in Beijing.D.Truck drivers in China live a hard life.答案B解析标题归纳题。本文报道了一次严重的交通堵塞,60多英里的道路变成了停车场,足足堵了九天多的时间,B项作为标题最合适。BIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams,the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life,but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense.It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the streets at a wrong place into the path oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in the traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately,modern drivers cant even learn to drive,let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users.It is high time that we took this message to heart.25.The passage mainly talks about.A.traffic jamsB.road politenessC.good mannersD.modern drivers答案B解析主旨大意题。从第二段开头“Roadpolitenessisnotonlygoodmanners,butgoodsense.”可知,B项正确。26.According to the writer,a good driver should .A.be able to recognize politeness when he sees itB.beat back when forced to face rude drivingC.encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to D.join in the traffic stream quickly however other people feel答案A解析判断推理题。从第二段最后一句“Manydriversnowadaysdontevenseemabletorecognizepolitenesswhentheyseeit.”可知,A项正确。27.The following statements are right EXCEPT that.A.some modern drivers are not good at driving B.road politeness is good sense as well as good mannersC.drivers are expected to master the roadmanshipD.traffic jams are caused by tigers behind the wheel答案D解析判断推理题。由第二段的“Roadpolitenessisnotonlygoodmanners,butgoodsense.”可知B项正确;由第四段的“Unfortunately,moderndriverscantevenlearntodrive,letalonemastertheroadmanship.”可知A、C两项是正确的。因此选D项。28.It is not always right for drivers to.A.master the roadmanshipB.recognize politeness when they see it C.give a friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politenessD.wave a child crossing the street into the path of oncoming cars答案D解析细节理解题。由第三段第一、二句可知应选D项。C导学号12194016The private automobile(私家车) has long played an important role in the United States.In fact,it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life.In 1986,sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car,and thirty-eight percent had more than one.By giving workers rapid transportation,the automobile has freed them from having to live near their places of work.This has encouraged the growth of the cities,but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful.It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure,and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected(影响) in various ways.The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics,outings,and other shared experiences.However,when teenage children have the use of the car,their parents cant keep an eye on them.There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugsor is “showing off” by speeding or breaking other traffic laws.Mothers of victims(受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunken Driving).These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧).They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age.Students have formed a similar organization SADD(Students Against Drunken Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans the automobile is a necessity.But for some,it is also a mark of social position and for young people,a sign of becoming an adult.Altogether,cars mean very much to Americans.29.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A.Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.B.Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.C.Cars have enabled people to live far from their places for work.D.Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.答案D解析第二段中提到汽车帮助农村的家庭把孩子送到远的学校,而不是城市的家庭。30.What has been done to deal with the problem of drunken driving?A.Parents have paid more attention to their children.B.Some organizations have been set up against drunken driving.C.Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.D.University students have asked the government to solve the problem.答案B解析第三段中“Mothersofvictims(受害者)ofsuchaccidentshaveformedanorganizationcalledMADD(MothersAgainstDrunkenDriving).”及“StudentshaveformedasimilarorganizationSADD.”说明已经建立了一些反对酒后驾车组织来解决酒后驾车问题。31.We can infer from the text that in America.A.it will be more difficult for people to get new carsB.parents will not allow their children to have their own carsC.the government will encourage people to use public transportationD.cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems答案D解析最后一段最后一句“Altogether,carsmeanverymuchtoAmericans.”表明尽管汽车存在很多问题,在美国汽车仍然受到人们的欢迎。D导学号12194017Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down:73 in a 55 mph zone.Fourth time in the past few months.How could a guy get caught so often?When his car had slowed down to 10 miles an hour,Jack came to a stop.The cop(巡警) was stepping out of his car,the big pad(便笺簿) in hand.Bob?Bob from Church?Jumping out of the car excitedly,he approached the man he saw every Sunday,the man hed never seen in uniform.“Hi,Bob.Fancy meeting you like this.”“Hello,Jack.”No smile.“Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids.”“Yeah,I guess so.”The minutes ticked by.Bob scribbled away on the pad.Why hadnt he asked for a drivers license?Jack could not quite keep the sneer(冷笑) out of his voice as Bob gave him a sheet of paper and returned to his police car without a word.Jack unfolded it,wondering how much this one was going to cost.Wait a minute.What was this?Certainly not a ticket.Jack began to read:“DearJack,OnceuponatimeIhadadaughter.Shewassixwhenkilledbyacar.Youguesseditaspeedingdriver.Afineandthreemonthsinjail,andthemanwasfree.Freetohughisdaughters.AthousandtimesIvetriedtoforgivethatman.AthousandtimesIthoughtIhad.MaybeIdid,butIneedtodoitagain.Evennow.Prayforme.Andbecareful,Jack.MysonisallIhaveleft.Bob.”Jack turned around in time to see Bobs car pull away and head down the road.Jack watched until it disappeared.A full 15 minutes later,he too,drove slowly home,praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.32.What would be the best title of the passage?A.A true friend.B.A traffic ticket.C.A cop and a driver.D.A letter to a friend.答案B解析主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了杰克因开车超速而被当警察的朋友抓住后所发生的事情。文中鲍勃的便条对杰克起到了教育的作用,而事件的结局又体现了人性化的一面。该文用Atrafficticket做标题能起到画龙点睛的作用。33.How did Jack feel when he saw the cop was his friend?A.He was ashamed.B.He was frightened.C.He was nervous.D.He was excited.答案D解析细节理解题。超速就要被罚款,但是警察却是他的朋友,所以杰克认为这次可以逃脱处罚了,所以自然很“兴奋”。34.What does the underlined word “approached” mean in this passage?A.Came near.B.Got away from.C.Shaked hands with.D.Looked at carefully.答案A解析词义猜测题。杰克从车里出来向鲍勃问候,需要朝他走过去,由此推测该词的意思是“走近”,所以选A项。35.What did Jack think when Bob gave him a sheet of paper?A.He thought he would
