DIY sailor Owen Warboys has finally launched his homemade boat — after spending nearly 30 years building it in his mum’s garden.
Owen, 66, a retired engineer from Hordle, New Milton, Hants, first started work on the 40ft—long boat in 1982 because he could not afford to buy his own. He told mum Edith that it would only take five years but after suffering “a few problems” it lasted nearly three decades.
When he finally finished, he was left with the head-scratching task of getting the 18-tonne boat out of the back garden. After some time he found a way. A huge crane (起重機(jī)) was brought in to carefully raise it 40ft in the air over his mother’s house and onto a lorry. It was then driven to the seaside and, to Owen’s delight, it floated and showed no signs of leaking when lowered into the water.
Now, 28 years after he first started, Owen is at last preparing to set sail in his beloved boat, Wight Dolphin, with his long-suffering wife Anne. Owen said, “I am so relieved that it’s finished. There were times when I thought it would never end but I’m the sort of person who likes to finish something once I’ve started.”
At first he persuaded his mum to let him do it in her garden and started taking in sheets of steel and pieces of wood. “My mother was happy for me to build it at her house but only bacause I told her it would only take five years.”
【小題1】Why did Owen decide to make his own boat by himself?

A．He wanted to kill time after his retirement
B．He wished to set a new world record
C．He didn’t have enough money to buy a boat
D．He had a hobby of making things by hand
【小題2】What problem did Owen face when he finished his boat?
A．It leaked when lowered into the water
B．It couldn’t be sent onto a truck
C．He couldn’t afford to hire a crane.
D．He didn’t know how to move it out.
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE about the boat ?
A．It was built by Owen and his supportive wife
B．It was in good condition after being put in the sea
C．Owen’s mother was relieved to see it was finished
D．Owen and his wife will sail around the world in it
【小題4】We can infer from the passage that _____.
A．the boat will enter a race competition
B．Owen retired early in order to make his boat
C．Owen’s wife gave the boat the name of Wight Dolphin
D．It took 23 more years to finish the boat than expected

Aggressive pedestrians are in fact as dangerous as careless drivers. They cause traffic accidents, injury and death. These dangerous walkers can be seen in any big city all over the world. About 69% of last year’s pedestrian deaths in the US occurred in urban areas. They cross streets ignoring “DON’T WALK” signals, suddenly appear without warning from behind parked vehicles, walk slowly at crossroads with cell phones attached to heads, blocking traffic.

These pedestrians and drivers share a common disregard for the rules of the road, both for selfish reasons. The drivers believe in the power of their machines. If their machines can go faster, they believe they have the right to go faster. If their machines are bigger, they believe they have the right to push smaller vehicles aside. Aggressive pedestrians, on the other hand, believe in the primacy(首位) of the individual, the idea that they are first in any environment, under any circumstances, even when they are on foot in a roaring tide of steel and rubber.

Last year, an estimated 5,220 pedestrians died in traffic accidents. Some 69,000 pedestrians were injured. On average, that worked out to one pedestrian killed in a traffic crash every 101 minutes, and one injured every eight minutes.

The good news is that the accident rate is dropping. For example, the number of pedestrians killed last year was 24 percent less than the number killed in traffic accidents a decade earlier. The bad news is that the basic causes of pedestrian deaths remain pretty much the same----disregard for traffic signals, inattention and crossing roads under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol, in fact, was involved in 46 percent of the traffic accidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths. Of those, 31 percent of the pedestrians were found to be drunk.

The bottom line is that the pedestrians must do more to protect their lives as well as the lives of other road users. They can start by obeying traffic signals, using marked cross-walks and calling a cab when they’ve had too much to drink.

1.The passage is mainly about _____.

A. what the traffic rules of the road about pedestrians were

B. why so many Americans were killed on roads last year

C. how aggressive pedestrians cause traffic accidents

D. who are to blame for pedestrian deaths, drunk drivers or the aggressive pedestrians

2.What is the pedestrians’ selfish reason for traffic jams?

A. They believe individuals are always first.

B. They know all drivers are skilled and with great care.

C. They think traffic rules have nothing to do with them.

D. They guess all vehicles will slow down at crossroads.

3.What was NOT the basic cause of pedestrian deaths in the US a decade ago?

A. Disregard for traffic signals

B. Paying no attention to surroundings.

C. Overspeeding driving.

D. Crossing roads drunk.

4.What word can best describe the author’s attitude to the traffic accidents caused by pedestrians?

A. Excited.                            B. Cold.                                 C. Unconnected.            D. Concerned

Was the London Olympics a success? Many people hold different opinions. However one thing is certain, London could win a gold medal for hosting the “greenest” Games ever, BBC News reported.

Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction, waste. and transport. But things had to be different in London because seven years ago it bid for the Olympics through the concept of “a One Planet Olympics”.

What is most impressive is that London used the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas — 2 million tons of contaminated (被污染的) soil were removed and 200 old factory buildings, were torn down, according to sustainablebusiness.com. But that’s not all —. 99 percent of the debris (廢瓦礫) were reused to build the Olympic Park. For example, part of the Olympic Stadium’s roof is made from 2,500 tons of steel tubes recycled from old gas pipelines.

As well as using recycled materials, all venues were built with green building techniques. The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built, which minimized the amount of steel and concrete needed. Also, the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent, according to sustainablebusiness.com.

The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise. Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater. In this way. about 30-40 percent less water was used in total. Waste food packages were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy.

As one of the best connected places in Europe, London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport. For example, it had trains deliver half of the building materials, instead of cars, which greatly reduced carbon emissions.

The clean anti-doping (反興奮劑) result also added to the greenness of the Games. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) said that the devices used this time were the most accurate and advanced. Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing, which is why the IOC President, Jacques Rogge, has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games.

1.To make the Olympic Park green, London _______.

A. recycled 2 million tons of contaminated soil

B. removed 99 percent of the debris from the city

C. built the Olympic Stadium mostly with recycled materials

D. applied green building techniques to the construction work

2.The underlined word “minimized” in the fourth paragraph probably means

A. increased as much as possible

B. reduced as much as possible

C. made good use of

D. took little notice

3.What can we conclude from the article?

A. The London Olympics cost less than the other Olympics ever held.

B. London has possessed the most advanced techniques to deal with waste.

C. Public transport is made good use of in London during the Olympic games.

D. The anti-doping result in the London Olympics turned out to be dissatisfactory.

4.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

 

 

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. How to deal with the anti-doping

B. How to use recycled materials

C. London’s green games

D. London’s public transport
