6.It was a rainy morning two years ago.Shirley Huxham was cycling gently downhill.As she waved to a friend,her bike slid uncontrollably on the wet road,throwing her to the ground."I'd never even thought of buying a helmet,"she says.For months she was partly paralysed(瘫痪的) down her left side and still has health problems today.
Some might think that Shirley was just unlucky.How dangerous can it be to fall from a bicycle?In fact,each year on Britain's roads more than 200people are killed and at least 4,000seriously injured on bicycles.But these numbers don't tell the whole story:the majority of the dead and injured were not wearing helmets.
A study of bicycle accidents in the US found that helmets could reduce the risk of serious head injury by 85percent.Yet it is estimated that in Britain,no more than five percent of bicycle-riders wear helmets.Why don't more cyclists wear them?
People think that helmets look foolish,that they're inconvenient,and that accidents only happen to other people.
One of the wrong ideas bicyclists have is that lower speeds can put them at less risk than motorcyclists,who are legally obliged to wear helmets.In fact,according to a British report,a higher percentage of bicyclists than motorcyclists suffer head injuries.And their injuries can be just as severe.
Helmets,however,can make a big difference.Shirley wasn't just unlucky.If she had worn a helmet,she wouldn't have spent months in hospital.Why take the risk?

38.The reason why Shirley got badly injured was thatC.
A.She was riding her bicycle downhill too fast.
B.Her friend's waving to her made her lose control.
C.She ignored the importance of wearing a helmet.
D.The ground was barely wet.
39.Which of the following statements is right according to the passageD?
A.Wearing helmets will reduce the risk of being killed by 85%.
B.Nearly 5percent of bicycle-riders wear no helmet in UK.
C.Motorcyclists suffer more head injuries than bicyclists.
D.In UK a motorcyclist's wearing no helmet is against the law.
40.People don't like wearing helmets due to the following reasons exceptD.
A.Wearing helmets makes them look silly.
B.They don't think wearing a helmet is convenient.
C.Falling off a bicycle only happens to other people.
D.Wearing a helmet is not fashionable at all.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了现在大部分人骑自行车不戴头盔的现象,很多人会认为自行车速度比较慢,不带头盔也比较安全,然而调查显示自行车事故中人的头部也极易造成损伤,且伤势不轻,作者旨在提醒读者骑自行车也要注意安全,带好头盔.

解答 38.C.推理判断题.根据文章第一段"I'd never even thought of buying a helmet",我从来没有想过买一个头盔,可推测她重伤的原因是没有戴头盔;故选C.
39.D.细节理解题.根据文章第五段"One of the wrong ideas bicyclists have is that lower speeds can put them at less risk than motorcyclists,who are legally obliged to wear helmets"骑自行车的人都还存在着一种错误的想法,自行车较慢的速度会使他们比法律规定必须戴头盔的骑摩托车的人要安全,可知在英国骑摩托车不戴头盔的是违法的;故选D.
39.D.细节理解题.根据文章第四段"People think that helmets look foolish,that they're inconvenient,and that accidents only happen to other people",人们认为头盔看起来很愚蠢,并且戴头盔他们很不方便,而且他们认为事故只会发生在其他人身上;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

6.As the 2016Presidential election is approaching,US high school students have become more interested in the election.They hope to have a say in deciding the next US president.
Wilentz said the country needs change."Even though I will not be old enough to vote in the next presidential election,my voice matters."Wilentz said."Discussions I may have with my peers,debates with teachers and communication with my parents allow me to be heard and give my opinions meaning."
Jean,a former vote director,said teenagers should be paying attention to the presidential election because many high school students will be of voting age by election time.She said candidates have views and positions on certain topics that may affect teens'lives.
Ohayon is concerned about issues that younger Americans face,such as the cost of college education.Ohayon said,"It is my responsibility to try to persuade my parents and other adults to concern themselves with the issues important to the younger generation while voting."
Jean said teenagers can also influence the election in other ways by getting involved in campaigns.She suggests that teenagers who actually believe in one of the candidates find the local offices for a campaign and volunteer.Campaign volunteers arrange materials,wave signs and go into neighborhoods to drop off brochures and try to get the word out.

18.Old people are easy to feel lonely because their children are busy with their work and have little time to spend with them.Most of them have to be companied by pet dogs.However,it is sometimes impossible for some old people to keep pet dogs because they are too old or ill to take care of pet dogs.
Experts are studying the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression(忧郁症),physical activity,and life satisfaction.Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to see whether they can improve the quality of life for old people.Alan Beck,an expert in human-animal relationship,said,"Old people should be more active,challenged,excited.The problem is how we promote that,especially for those without friends or help.A robotic dog could be a solution."
In the study,the robot,called AIBO,is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone.These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.Researchers will collect basic data for six weeks.Then,the researchers will review the data to decide if there are any changes in the life of its owner.
"I talk to him all the time,and he responds to my voice,"says a 70-year-old lady."When I'm watching TV,he'll stay in my arms until he wants down.He has a mind of his own."
The AIBOs respond to certain orders.The researchers say they have some advantages over real dogs,especially for old people.Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it.A robotic dog needn't any exercise and feeding concerns.
"At the beginning,it was believed that no one would prefer the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry (毛茸茸的),"Beck says."But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief."
Hopefully,these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper.They will record their masters'blood pressure,oxygen levels,or heart rhythms.AIBOs may even one day have games that can help exciting older people's minds.
63.From the passage we can learn that old people can easily feel lonely becauseC.
 A.their children don't like to stay with them
B.they don't have pet dogs
C.their children are too busy to stay with them
D.they don't have robotic dogs

11.If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time,they become weak; when you start using again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows this,and nobody would think of questioning the fact.(36)B When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly,either consciously or unconsciously.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong.(37)G One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis,while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak,we know that it is his own fault.E(38)E,many of us think that his parents are to blame,or that he is just unlucky,and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak.Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can,if we have ordinary bodies and brains,improve our strength and our memory by the same means---pactice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can?(39)F Of course,because those who cannot read or write have to remember things:they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember dates,time and prices,names,songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
(40)D,learn from the poor practice remembering.

A.What do you think of it?
B.Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.
C.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory
D.So if you want a good memory
E.When someone else says that he is poor in the health
F.Why is this?
G.The position is exactly the same as that of two people.
