Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a ____ of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However,if anyone asked me how fast I was ____,I'd say I was not overspeeding. Several times I got ____ behind a slowmoving truck on a narrow road,and I was holding my fists tightly with ____.

At one point along an open highway,I ____ a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,but as I ____ the light,it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing. No cars,no suggestion of headlights,but there I sat,waiting for the light to ____,the only human being for at least a mile in any ____.

I started ____ why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being ____,because there was obviously no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no ____ in going through it.

Much later that night,after I ____ a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight,the question of why I'd stopped for that light ____ me.

It's not only the ____,but it's an arrangement we have,and we trust each other to ____ it:we don't go through red lights.

【解析】语篇解读作者迟到了,开着车匆匆忙忙地赶往目的地,但在经过一个四周无人的十字路口时,他却没有闯红灯。之后,作者对自己的这一行为进行了一番思考……

【1】 Harrisburg和Lewisburg两个地方之间的“距离(distance)”大约是八十英里。D项表示“长度”,语意不恰当。

【2】 本段开头部分提到作者当时开车行驶在两地之间,所以此处描述的是“开车”的速度。

【3】 在一条狭窄的道路上,作者好几次被前面的一辆行驶缓慢的卡车“困住”了,即无法超车。

【4】 根据本段第二句中的内容可知作者当时急于赶路,所以非常“不耐烦地”握紧了拳头。

【5】 在一条开阔的公路上,作者“来到(came to)”了一个有交通灯的十字路口。

【6】 当作者“靠近(approached)”交通灯时,灯变成了红色,作者于是踩了刹车。

【7】 作者坐在那里,一直等待着交通灯“变成”绿色以便通行。

【8】 上文提到作者环顾左右和后面,但是空无一人,由此可知作者是至少一英里之内任何一个“方向”中唯一的一个人。

【9】 虽然当时四周没有一个人,可是作者没有闯红灯,作者开始“琢磨”自己这样做的原因。后三项分别表示“怀疑”“挣扎”“遗憾”,均不符合语境。

【10】 作者不害怕被“罚款”,因为四周没有交警。fine表示“处……以罚金”,符合语境。

【11】 由于当时周围没有人,闯红灯当然不会有“危险”。

【12】 在当晚稍晚的时候,作者“遇到”了一群朋友。后三项分别表示“克服”“除掉”“回电话”,都不符合语境。

【13】 上一段的开头部分提到作者不知道自己为什么当时没有闯红灯,此时作者又“回想起”这个问题。

【14】 作者认为自己之所以停下来是因为这是我们所有人彼此之间的合同的一部分,它不仅仅是“法律”,而且是我们共同的一种安排。此外,第32空后面的law也是线索提示。

【15】 我们彼此信任对方会“执行”这种安排:我们不闯红灯。honor表示“信守,执行”,符合语境。

【16】 像我们中的大多数人一样,作者更可能“停止”做被社会常规认为是不好的事情。后三项分别表示“保护”“拒绝”“害怕”,均不符合语境。

【17】 与被法律禁止的事情相比,作者更不可能做社会常规“不赞成”的事情。disapprove of“不赞成”。前三项分别表示“谈及”“支持”“吸收”,均不符合语境。

【18】 我们曾经彼此“信任”对方去做正确的事情,这非常令人惊奇。

【19】 作者强调的是彼此之间应该互相信任,这是“首先”需要做到的事情。

【20】 作者通过深思感悟到当时的行为非常正确,因此为那天晚上没有闯红灯感到无比“自豪”。

【题目】A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85

February 12, 2014

BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press

Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.

It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.

In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’

Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.

She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

【1】Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.

A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind

C. smart and knowledgeable D. shy and attractive

【2】Where does this passage possibly come from?

A. A biography. B. A newspaper.

C. A magazine. D. A poster.

【题目】Rachel Carson,a wellknown nature author in America,was happiest writing about the strength and stability of natural systems.Her books mainly described the inter connectedness of nature and all living things.

Completing Silent Spring took Carson four years.First published in The New Yorker in June 1962,the book alarmed readers across America.It described how DDT entered the food chain and accumulated (堆积) in the fatty tissues of animals,including human beings,and caused cancer and genetic damage.

Carson begins by describing exactly these effects in the first chapter,creating strong images and drawing the readers in.As the book continues,she gives various examples of how insecticides(杀虫剂) are not only unsuccessful,but actually very costly and damaging.She also explains about the biological controls which are less expensive and much more efficient.

A single application on a crop,she wrote,killed insects for weeks and months,and not only the targeted insects but countless more,and remained poisonous in the environment even after it was washed out by rainwater.Carson concluded that DDT and other pesticides had definitely harmed birds and animals and had destroyed the entire world's food supply.The book's most famous chapter,A Fable for Tomorrow,described a nameless American town where all life—from fish to birds to apple blossoms to human children—had been “silenced” by the harmful effects of DDT.

The most important effect of Silent Spring,though,was a new public awareness that nature was so easily destroyed by human intervention(干预).Rachel Carson had made a brave proposal:that,at times,technological progress is so basically at odds with(与……不一致) natural processes that it must be prevented.

【1】What are Rachel Carson's books mainly concerned about?

A.The relationship between man and nature.

B.The balance of natural systems.

C.The interconnection of nature and living things.

B.human controls

D.technical progress

【题目】下面文章中有4个段落需要添加小标题,文章需要添加总标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、 D、E和F)中选出符合意思的标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

An increase in cyber-attacks and identity theft make the Internet seem like a scary place these days.

Last week, there were reports of a billion dollar theft from European banks and secret viruses on millions of computer systems across Russia, China, India, Iran and elsewhere. This raises a question: How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information?

【1】________________

Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length. They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet's name or the name of a family member.

【2】_______________

A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. Hackers are better able hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password. A password management service, like Dashlane or PasswordBox, can help you keep track of hard passwords. These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.

【3】_______________

This goes for all the devices you use in a day–your home computer, your work computer, or your friend's iPad. Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online. They keep records of every site you visited. Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks. It is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.

【4】_______________

An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet. Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks. These services might be useful, but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.

【5】________________

One of the most popular and successful ways hackers infect your computer is through a technique called phishing. Phishing occurs when someone opens an email attachment that looks real. But the attachment is actually a virus that immediately infects the user's computer. If someone sends you a file or a website you did not ask for, it is best to not click on it.
