1.High heels,coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.The seemingly harmless items have been responsible for more than 13million crashes and near misses on Britain's roads.
While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported,women played their part by driving in high heels.Putting fashion over function meant 44percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels-with those aged 25to 34accounting for most of the incidents reported.
Those keen for a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicle.Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their car or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedal(刹车踏板).
However,it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car,man's best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured.One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape(刮檫)or near miss on the road due to their dog's wandering freely,climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.
The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time,according to the poll of 2,000British motorists.The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of£261.47for the damage caused by every crash.Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midland and Wales.
Janet Connor,a managing director,said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly,as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of debris.She said,"The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are well known but as the evidence suggests,those within the car are often forgotten."

46.What mistake do women drivers most probably make while driving?B
A.They wear expensive clothes.
B.They wear shoes with high heels.
C.They drink too much coffee in cars
D.They take their dog without trying it.
47.Those who like drinking coffee often have accidents becauseC.
A.the coffee may make them feel faint
B.the coffee may make the car smell terrible
C.the deserted coffee cups may make the brake fail
D.the deserted coffee cups may look the same as brake pedals
48.Why shouldn't drivers put their dogs in the car while driving?C
A.Dogs may bark loudly when they see the traffic lights.
B.Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty.
C.Dogs may walk around or even try to escape.
D.Dogs may break the window to get fresh air.

分析 高跟鞋、咖啡杯和狗狗,这些看似和交通安全无关的东西却在很大程度上对驾驶人员的安全构成威胁.

解答 46.B.细节理解题.根据第二段…women played their part by driving in high heels可知,对于女性而言,穿高跟鞋开车是她们所犯的一个很大的错误.
47.C.推理判断题.根据第三段…after a deserted coffee cup or empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedals可知,咖啡杯造成的潜在危险可能是让司机失去对车的控制.
48.C.推理判断题.根据第四段…due to their dog's wandering freely,climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows可知,小狗在车上的话,有可能会到处乱窜或试图从窗户逃跑.

11.Taylor Swift was born on December 13,1989,in Wyomissing,Pennsylvania.Swift's family ran a farm."I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old,"said Swift's mother."If my dream had gone well,she'd be in a horse show right now."The only obvious forerunner (先驱) of Swift's musical talent was her grandmother,an opera singer.
That talent showed itself early:when the family went to see a Disney musical film,Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly.At the age of 11,she sang"The Star-Spangled Banner"at a Philadelphia 76ers game.The experiences during her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift's talent.As a child,she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown,but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing.Although it was her hometown,she didn't know any of her classmates,and she was terrified.Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs,and put her feelings into songs of her own.
One of her future hits,"The Outside",was written when she was only 12."I wrote that about the scariest feeling I've ever felt:going to school,looking at those faces,and not knowing who you're gonna talk to that day,"she said."In the music,I could never feel the kind of rejection (拒绝) that I felt in middle school."Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands.They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville,Tennessee.
Swift had the ability,above all,to put feelings into words with accuracy (准确) far beyond her years.In"Our Song"she wrote,"Our song is the slamming screen door,going out late,tapping on your window."In the summer of 2006,"Tim McGraw"came out,and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star.

13.A serious defeat I suffered when I was only 10 years old helped me win the 1968 Olympic ice skating championship.It also gave me a deadly(16)D----the other Peggy Fleming.Just before that,I had been roller-skating,playing basketball,and could climb (17)Aa tree as well as any boy.So Dad(18)C me to take skating lessons.And soon I(19)Bseveral local figure-skating (花样滑冰) awards.Then came the Pacific Coast Championship in Los Angeles.

10.Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?
To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines.Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation (背诵) of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole,Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science.

56.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?(No more than 10words)The purpose of writing The Social Animal./The main topics of the book.Or:The weighty topics in"The Social Animal",written by Brooks.
57.Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories?(No more than 15words)Because he tries to make his points through the story or keep reader's attention.Or:To make his points and keep the reader's attention.
58.According to The Social Animal,how can we learn about the science of child development?(No more than 10words)As Harold and Erica live through their childhood.Or:By reading the story of Harold and Erica.Or:By following the story of living through childhood.
59.Please explain the underlined word"weighty"in English.(No more than 1word)Serious.Or:Important.Or:Significant.Or:Great.Or:Big.Or:Crucial.Or:Heavy….
60.Do you like Brooks'way of dealing with science in The Social Animal?Why?(No more than 20words)Yes,I do.Because he introduces scientific theories through a story,which is much easier for people to understand..
