【题目】 Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.

At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile at any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going thorough it.

Much later that night, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract (契约) we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.

Trust is our first inclination (倾向). Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (互相) trust, not distrust.We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up;and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.

1Why did the author feel impatient while driving?

A.He came across too many traffic lights.B.He got tired of driving too long.

C.He was lonely on the road.D.He was slowed down by a truck.

2What was the author’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red?

A.Stopping still.B.Driving through it.

C.Looking around for other cars.D.Checking out for traffic police.

3The event made the author strongly believe that ________.

A.traffic rules may be unnecessary

B.doubting others is human nature

C.patience is important to drivers

D.a society needs mutual trust

4Why was the author proud of himself?

A.He kept his promise.

B.He held back his anger.

C.He made a right decision---not running the light.

D.He followed his inclination---running the light.

【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

With a population of 602 ,000 , Luxembourg is one of the richest and smallest1( country) in Europe ,yet it suffers from major traffic jams.

Taking up 2, 586 square kilometers, Luxembourg is roughly the size of Rhode Island. From the capital of Luxembourg City , Belgium, France and Germany can all2( reach) by car in half an hour. High housing costs, especially in Luxembourg City , mean more than 180 ,000 of its workforce commute( 通勤) from those neighboring nations every day. Luxembourg is a very3( attract) place for jobs ,4its “booming economy" and high concentration of jobs have led to congestion(拥塞) issues. In 2016 , Luxembourg had 662 cars per 1 ,000 people, and driving is a “primary means of transportation ”for commuters. That year , drivers in Luxembourg City5(spend) an average of 33 hours in traffic. It fared6 ( bad) than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki , which have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg, yet it only took drivers in both an average of 24 hours in traffic.

But that could be about to change. 7country at this very moment is in really good shape , thus the government wants the people to benefit8 the good economy. As of March 1 ,2020 all public transport—trains, trams and buses- -in the country is now free,9( make) it the first free public transport country in the world. However,the new scheme can signal important changes ahead10it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving.

【题目】 With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajama’s(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.

All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.

This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.

1What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?

A.Many students are absent from class.

B.Students are very tired on Monday mornings.

C.Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.

D.Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.

2Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A.Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.

B.Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.

C.One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.

D.Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.

3Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?

A.CriticizedB.GroupedC.OrganizedD.Named

4What does the text mainly talk about?

A.Functions of the body clock.

B.The “night owl” phenomenon.

C.Human beings’ sleep behaviour.

D.The school schedule of “early birds”.

【题目】 Record fires sweeping across the Amazon recently have been making the headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change crisis and endanger biodiversity(生物多样性)。

As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called"the lungs of the world”. It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million local people. The vast area of rainforest plays an important role in the world's ecosystem because it absorbs heat instead of reflecting heat back into the atmosphere. It also stores carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, ensuring that less carbon is released, reducing the effects of climate change.

Any forest destroyed is a danger to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity," Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic."The great danger is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,"he stressed."In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected,"UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.

Data from the National Institute for Space Research(INPE)show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August a year ago.A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first 8 months of 2019,up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018,INPE said.We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months," Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest,whose degradation(恶化)could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall.The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has gone beyond Brazil's borders.

1What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The great role of the Amazon rainforest.

B.The effects of consistent climate change.

C.The causes of the decreasing biodiversity.

D.The results of the Amazon rainforest fires.

2Why does the author mention the figures in the fourth paragraph?

A.To explain the process of the research.

B.To present the bad influence of forest fires.

C.To prove the great importance of the rainforest.

D.To show the emergency of protecting the rainforest.

3What does the author want to tell us in the passage?

A.The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.

B.The biodiversity makes the rainforest unique.

C.The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.

D.The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.

4Which section of a magazine might this passage probably be taken from?

A.Climate and life.

B.Nature and geography.

C.Humankind and society.

D.Science and technology.
