According to the text, we should _.A. spare time to enjoy being together with our friendsB. help our friends and get along well with themC. make plans for our weekends when free from workD. learn more from people around us when necessaryBWinter is dangerous for drivers because it is so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place easily. Bad weather can be waiting to meet you. Ice might be hiding under the snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you might suddenly move across the road. Here are two rules for driving safely on icy roads:Rule Number One is to drive smoothly. Irregular movements can make a car very difficult to manage. So each time you turn the wheel, touch the brake or increase your speed, you must be as gently and slow as possible. Just imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. You should drive carefully enough in order that you would not get the coffee out of the cup.Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the farther you have to look down the road. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally speaking, allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times, or you will get into trouble.5. Which of the following can be used to explain why driving in winter is very dangerous?A. People drive more gently and slowly.B. People drive three times faster than usual.C. Unexpected things may often take place.D. Drivers usually have too much coffee.6. What is the main idea of Rule Number One?A. To increase the driving speed.B. To drive smoothly on icy roads.C. To manage your car irregularly.D. To drive fast on snowy roads.7. Why does the writer want to take an example “a full cup of hot coffee” in Paragraph 2?A. Because drinks are necessary for drivers.B. Because he wants to remind drivers to take a rest.C. To enjoy the driving with a cup of coffee.D. To explain the importance of careful and smooth driving.8. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Traffic Accidents. B. Careless Driving.C. Bad Weather. D. Winter Driving.CChina is going to make a new education policy (政策). Students volunteer (志愿)work will be considered when their performances are evaluated (评估). The policy is to help students develop a spirit of selflessness (无私) by doing more volunteer and social work.In the past, most Chinese schools evaluated their students through exam results. When the policy is put into practice, volunteer work will play an important part in school life. According to the policy, good volunteer work records will also help students to get scholarships (奖学金).The Ministry of Education asked schools to do something to teach students about volunteer work. These things include providing teaching information about volunteer work, setting up scholarships for volunteer services and encouraging students to take part in social activities during holidays.Because of the big differences between Chinese schools, the schools are also asked to make their own evaluation rules as soon as possible so that they can evaluate their students in the most proper way.The Beijing government believes that the new policy could greatly increase the number of volunteers in social activities.In the past years, volunteers have always played a big part in many important activities in China.Its believed that there will be more and more volunteers in China in the future.9. According to the new policy, good volunteer work will _.A. bring students good exam results B. help students to get scholarships（奖学金）C. make their own evaluation rules D. provide teaching information10.
