Passage 20

(天津市南开中学2010届高三下学期五月模拟考试B篇)

Life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver. And he is proof.

　 At just 18 years of age, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2,500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.

　 "A lot of teachers say, 'Don't drink,' but I'm not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it," Nepola says. "I just say, 'Don't get in a car.' "

　 One year ago, Nepola, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken.

　 At Hackensack University Medical Center, his skull was opened to relieve pressure on his brain. He was diagnosed with traumatic(创伤性)brain injury and remained in a coma(昏迷)and on life support for nearly three weeks.

　 At Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. physical therapist Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a miracle.

　 But Nepola's recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with his right hand.

　 In the process of recovery, Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his trauma doctor, Sanjeev Kaul, he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending assemblies in April.

　 He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. And his rehabilitation(康复)and visible trauma help him draw serious attention from students.

　 Besides, "I'm not a wall," he said. "I feel like I know how to talk to people."

　 Driving drunk, he tells students, is like playing Russian roulette(俄罗斯轮盘赌博): "You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen."

　 Now, his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, "I’m a lot happier in my life."

Passage 19

(四川省棠湖中学2010届高三考前适应训练E篇)

After too long on the Net，even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend‘s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary‘s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid- hours becomes minutes， and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends， once a highlight of my week，are now just two ordinary days.

For the last three years，since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose，I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit (提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.

If I desired，I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food，and manage my money，love and work. In fact，at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home，going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.　 I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.

But after a while，life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged (融合) with my machines，taking data in spitting them back out， just another node (波节)on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.

What first seemed like a luxury，crawling from bed to computer，not worrying about hair，and clothes and face，has become an avoidance，a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction，coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.

At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I'd never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe (安慰) me, but then I'm jarred (使感不快) by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively (强制性能地) needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. "Dateline," "Frontline," "Nightline," CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.

43．It can be inferred from the passage that________w　　　

A．both teams liked and respected Mickey.　

B．both teams were thankful to Mickey for his goal.

　　　 C．Mickey didn’t mind though his goal was wrong

　　　 D．Mickey was a kind-hearted boy and hoped everybody won.
