It took firemen almost an hour to cut through the wreckage (殘骸) of the car. By the time they reached the driver，Wong，he had died. Seconds before the crash happened, the traffic on the road was flowing smoothly，and Wong was an experienced driver in a sturdy car. What could have caused the tragedy? Alcohol. After Wong had drunk four cans of beer, his physical and mental reactions had slowed. He had a false feeling of confidence. Then he lost control, hitting a fire hydrant and a lamp post.

In almost every other developed country, Wong might have thought twice about getting behind the wheel and setting off in his car after drinking beer. His passengers might have refused to join him. Would you fly with a drunk pilot? Laws and public campaigns against drink-driving in many countries have changed people's lifestyles and saved thousands of lives. Drink-drivers are regarded as potential killers. In some countries, police on roadsides pull over motorists and check whether they have been drinking or not.

In 1995, about 7 % of drivers killed in road accidents in Hong Kong were drink-driving. But this does not tell us the full extent of the problem because it does not show the number of motorists and pedestrians (行人) killed by drink?? drivers who survived their crash. In reality then, the number of people killed as a result of drink-driving must be much higher. But in 1995, only five people were prosecuted (起訴) for being drunk and incapable of controlling a vehicle.

A. he had been drinking beer        B. his car was faulty

    Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation(感覺) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions―those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

    Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.

    Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.

    To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假設), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

    “We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.

51. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______.

    A. the visitors to his office

    B. the psychology lessons he has

    C. his physical feeling of coldness

    D. the things he has bought online

52. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______.

    A. adults should develop social skills

    B. babies need warm physical contact

    C. caregivers should be healthy adults

    D. monkeys have social relationships

53. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ______.

    A. evaluate someone’s personality

    B. write down their hypotheses

    C. fill out a personal information form

    D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively

54. We can infer from the passage that ______.

    A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences

    B. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide

    C. physical temperature affects how we see others

    D. capable persons are often cold to others

55. What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships.

    B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation.

    C. Developing Better Drinking Habits.

    D. Physical Sensations and Emotions.

讀寫任務（滿分25分）
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered（改變）many physical features（特征）of the earth. He has transformed（完全改變） woodlands and prairies（大草原） into farms and made lakes and reservoirs（水庫） out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power（發(fā)電站）. Man has also modified（修改） the face of the earth by draining marshes(排干沼澤) and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial（有利的）results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological（生態(tài)的） balance of the sea is being changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destruction（毀滅）of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat (威脅)to man's existence. Indifference to these problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve（保護） environment. Otherwise, man is certain to suffer from the serious consequences（后果）caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings.

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.

As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.

During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安養(yǎng)院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.

Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often can't learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.

1.What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?

A. He was operated on immediately.

B. He retired from his job.

C. He researched cancer treatments.

D. He felt sad, doing nothing.

2.What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease? 

A. His family and friends.

B. His belief in humanity.

C. His doctors’ encouragement.

D. The care from others.

3.What did the author learn from his friend’s story?

A. Giving more respect to friends.

B. Extending life as possible.

C. Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury.

D. Getting comfort from God.

4.What does the author mainly want to tell?

A. All people will face death, and thus, we must prepare for it spiritually.

B. Our characters can be strengthened by such an unpleasant situation.

C. Families provide the best support system during such a crisis.

D. People should help those who have got serious illness.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆安徽池州一中高三第一次月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

One day, when I went shopping with Julie, we came across something special. Waiting in a long checkout line, I thought about going to another, which had the shortest queue. There was only one guy in it, but he was in a wheelchair. Well, we stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the checking desk. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was separating them into two piles.

However, doing that job was no easy task in itself. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under control. He asked my wife if she would mind putting his empty basket away. What must it be like, I wondered, to be so dependent on other people like that? The checkout operator came around and gave him his change and the items he needed to have to hand. She hung one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I offered to get the other, bigger, bag and he said, “No. But you could do me a favour. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”

As I was told, I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, as turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hungry! I hadn't even noticed her before. This guy, despite the limitations that his physical condition imposed on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed – and given the bigger bag away to help other people! He didn't let the fact that he needed help stop him from being a help. He may have been limited physically, but his heart was more than capable of overcoming all that. And it changed my idea of dependence when I realized that the help he had given was more than the help he had received.

So … what’s holding the rest of us back?

1. From the first paragraph, we know that______.

A. the writer was obviously a disabled person

B. the man in a wheelchair was a shopper

C. the writer and Julie jumped the queue

D. only three people were shopping then

2. The man put the things he bought into two piles, probably because______.

A. his shopping bags were too small to hold all the groceries

B. he hoped to keep the balance of his wheelchair

C. he intended to help the people in need

D. it would be easy for him to carry

3. From the passage, we can learn that Angela was probably______.

A. the disabled person’s wife

B. the girl at the checking desk

C. a hungry and homeless beggar

D. a kind-hearted and helpful woman

4. Which of the following can best describe the man in the wheelchair?

A. kind, energetic and determined

B. positive, dependent and easy-going

C. active, optimistic and open-minded

D. helpful, generous and strong-hearted
