18.A professional skateboarder is probably facing jail time after uploading a video that shows he was skating at a shocking 68mph through the middle of traffic.
South African skater Decio Lourenco faces the charges after Cape Town city officials say his high-speed sating actually attracted a speed camera.The speed limit for skating in the town of Lourenco is 37mph."The boy's behavior was very dangerous.He might cause one of the motorists to panic and crash into other vehicles,which can lead to a large number of deaths.We have already had such cases on that road before,"safety spokesman Jean-Pierre Smith,told the New York Daily News."If we don't take action against him,every other skateboarder will stry it and one of them will come to a sticky end."
It's hard to deny that what the boy did was dangerous,particularly with oncoming traffic in the opposite lane.But Lourenco is a professional and Kloof Nek,the road he speeds down,has been used for professional skateboarding events in the past.Besides,at the end of his YouTube video of the dangerous behavior he really tries to discourage others from attempting to recreate his feat (技藝表演),which has already been viewed more than 600,000since it was posted on January 26.
However,as a journalist pointed out,the past skateboarding events hosted on Kloof Nek have always taken place when all other traffic was closed off the street.He also said that local traffic laws don't permit skateboarders to skate on public roads.For his part,Lourenco,24,says he doesn't understand where all the negative attention is coming from."I've been skating down hills from a young age…often going much faster than that,"he said in an interview with IOL News."This is the first time I've got any attention for it."But anyway,what he did is dangerous,and others shouldn't follow his example.

A.caused motorists to panic on the street
B.broke the speed limit when he was driving
C.skated too fast through the middle of traffickeeping a building in service outweigh(比…更有價值) even the most efficient means of

C.Decio Lourenco has caused a motorist to crash into other vehicles.
D.Decio Lourenco hoped to show others how to recreate his skills of skating.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了職業(yè)滑板運動員Decio Lourenco在路上以每小時68英里的速度行進,引起了一場控訴的事,并表明了不同人對此事的不同觀點.

解答 29.C.細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子South African skater Decio Lourenco faces the charges after Cape Town city officials say his high-speed sating actually attracted a speed camera可知,Decio Lourenco面臨控訴是因為在路上滑板速度太快,故答案為C.
30.A.詞義猜測題,根據(jù)前一句If we don't take action against him,every other skateboarder will stry it,如果不采取行動制裁,每一個滑板運動員都會想這么做,那么總有一個會發(fā)生不好的結(jié)果,可見該詞的意思應(yīng)是一個表示負面意義的詞,故答案為A.

8.One in ten teens says they use"study drugs"to improve their performance in school.So-called"study-drugs"refer to prescription medicines(處方藥) used to treat ADHD(注意力缺乏癥).But most of parents have no understanding of the problem,a new study finds.
In January,2013,researchers from the University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital did a national survey of more than seven hundred families with teens.They found that only one percent of parents believe their child has taken a study drug.
Yet in a 2012 University of Michigan study,ten percent of second-year high school students and twelve percent of third-year students say they use a study drug.
The misuse of stuffy drugs didn't come to the attention of almost all parents."What we found in this survey is a clear mismatch(不相符),"said Dr.Matthew Davis,one of the researchers."It is a mismatch between what parents believe and what their children were reporting."
"We know teens believe that these drugs can improve their grade,"Davis said."But these prescription medicines are drugs.And teens who use them without a prescription are taking a serious risk."
The new survey showed that fifty-four percent of white parents were"very concerned"about their child taking study drugs,compared with thirty-eight percent of the Hispanic (拉美的) parents and thirty-seven percent of black parents.
However,just twenty-seven percent of parents surveyed talked to their teens about using study drugs.Of these parents,forty-one percent were black,twenty-seven percent were white and seventeen percent were Hispanic.
Students with a prescription for an ADHD drug should be required to keep their medicines in a safe place.Seventy-nine percent of parents think so,the survey shows.This may help preventitfrom being shared or used by other students.
32.According to paragraph 4,Dr.Davis thinks.D
A.the 2012 University of Michigan st udy is untrue
B.it is a good way to take study drugs to treat ADHD
C.it is necessary to do another new survey about study drugs

33.Dr.Davis believed using study drugs to improve grades.A
A.is bad for health    B.is worth a try   C.sometimes works   D.causes little harm
34.What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to?A

9.A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen,commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer,actually increases the risk.
Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma.They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin form the harmful effects of the sun,sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer,which is increasing in incidence faster than any other cancer in the United States.
But question have been raise about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect,perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer---people with fair skin and freckles,for example-are more likely to use sunscreen.As a result,it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The studies,which generally relied on volunteers to recall their use,were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied,said the new study.
13.The underlined word"flaws"in the 2nd paragraph most probably meansC.
A.evidences        B.facts       C.faults               D.failures
14.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B.the volunteers have proved the effects of sunscreen
C.the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D.the number of skin caner patients is increasing in America
15.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A
A.Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
B.Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C.Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D.Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles.
