But Andersen, a 46yearold father of four, wasnt expecting any trouble on the road last New Years Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia, fouryearold son Baylor, and nineyearold neighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.The weather was fine，but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upsidedown car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen, a softspoken product development manager. “Youre thinking, is this how its all going to end？”Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldnt find her. I thought，“If I dont get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. Thats when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car？” Andersen says respectfully, “It_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”1. What might be the main reason for the car accident?AThe sharp Uturn.BThe steep dam.CThe sudden brake.DA truck hitting the car.2.

What can be learned from the last paragraph?AAndersen lost conciousness in the water.BStrangers helped Andersen out of the car.CAndersen liked Mia most among the children.DStrangers teamed together to save the three children.4.

Which of the following can be the best title of the text?AStay calm when in troubleBDrive rounding a UturnCMiracle rescue from an icy riverDMystery of the Bear River Mountains【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了Andersen开车带三个孩子上盘山公路时遭遇车祸并死里逃生的故事。1C由第二段第二句“Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes.”可知是急刹车导致了这一次事故。2A由第一段最后一句“Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.”可知Andersen在Canyon山路上开了成百上千次车，所以，他应该是对这条路非常熟悉。3D由最后一段“Thats when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam.One after another, they raced down into the water.Helping onto safety all the three children”可知，陌生人成群结队地去救三个孩子。4D由最后一句话中Andersen把他们比喻成天使，可知他应该对营救他们的人心存感激。5C纵观全文可知本文主要介绍了在冰河中，大家营救车祸中的三个孩子和一位父亲的故事，故C项为最佳选项。【2020模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。On occasion, a memory came to my mind. My mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it. The table, as I remember, was always in my family and I had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room.Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. We were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as I grew older, I knew why.My father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. He was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险).Through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. Dad was away at around one oclock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work. I can also remember her sewing almost every night.My mom didnt take vacations. She didnt go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared about almost nothing. We didnt care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top.I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. And, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.32. What did the author sometimes recall?A. Having to clean the table weekly. B. Putting a vase on the table weekly.C.

Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any jobIn many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in ThailandI had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
