What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero, 24, has only one leg.When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jerseys Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated(截)below the knee.Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero, who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, “The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3”, explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg (假肢), he explains.The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a “stubborn” patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor.“It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career,” Ruggiero said.Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. “Tap dancers-theyre always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument,” he said.Nothing that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he wont shy away from the physical “weakness” his performance shows because of his condition.“A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, Youre such a role model and an inspiration,” he said. “Im honored when people say that, of course, but Im just trying to get on with my life.”4.

An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of S$1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of S$2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.12. Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?A. Because yellow can be seen more easilyB. Because yellow signals a warning of dangerC. Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxisD. Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings13. Whats Prof Hos study based on?A. Physical risks taxi passengers experienceB. The economic effect of changing taxi colorC. Data from Singapores largest taxi companyD. Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide14. What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?A. School buses should be painted yellowB. Their findings are worth popularizingC. Yellow should be widely used in public transportD. Their study will be furthered15. What can be the best taxis for the text?A. Caution: yellow taxis aheadB. Safer to ride in yellow taxisC. Why are yellow taxis preferred?D. How can colors help prevent accidents?【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B【解析】这篇文章主要讲了研究表明黄色的出租车比蓝色的出租车发生事故的几率更低，所以乘坐黄色的出租车会更安全。12. 细节理解题。由The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.可知黄色出租车会减少交通事故是因为黄色更容易被看到，所以选A。13. 细节理解题。由the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore.可知Prof Ho的研究是基于新加坡最大的出租车公司的数据，选C。15. 主旨大意题。由The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.可知这篇文章主要讲了研究表明黄色的出租车比蓝色的出租车发生事故的几率更低，所以乘坐黄色的出租车会更安全，选B。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips on Young Adult LifeAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes.
