1.We all remember seeing hitchhikers,standing by the side of the road,thumb sticking out,waiting for a lift.But it is getting(50)C nowadays.What killed hitchhiking?(51)D is often mentioned as a reason.Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off(52)B hitchhikers.That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt(53)C the safety fear:a large,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more(54)A:hitchhiking happens where people don't have cars and transport services are poor.Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania.Perhaps the rising level of (55)B in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange.Why can't they afford cars?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old.The (56)A hitchhiking population is therefore small.Yet my trip proves it's still
(57)A to hitchhike.The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer,retired surgeon,tank commander,carpenter,man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains.My(58)D is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red,spotted scarves.Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn't help(59)B.
The(60)A of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet,via sites such as hitchhikers.org.But for now,you can still stick your thumb out (actually,I didn't do much of that,(61)C just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful,caring,sharing,unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK,with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service,I don't think I'll make a
(62)B of it.But having(63)A it so much,I'm ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond.In the 1970s a female friend of my wife's hitchhiked to India.How wonderful it would be to have another go,though Afghanistan might be a(n) (64)D.I wish I'd got that tank commander's mobile number.

分析 本文講述了現(xiàn)在站在路邊搭載搭便車的人越來越少.文章分析了搭便車人少的原因.

解答 50.C 考查上下文理解.根據(jù)下一句What killed hitchhiking是什么扼殺了搭便車,可以知道搭便車的人應該是越來越少了,rare"稀少的"所以答案選C.
51.D 考查上下文理解.根據(jù)下文句子內(nèi)容是:關于殺人的旅行者和現(xiàn)實生活中的犯罪電影使許多司機拒絕搭車. 可以看出這里安全是一個經(jīng)常提到的搭便車減少的原因,所以答案選D.
52.B 考查句意理解.根據(jù)句意:關于殺人的旅行者和現(xiàn)實生活中的犯罪電影使許多司機拒絕搭車.pick up是固定短語"順路接某人",所以答案選B.
53.C 考查上下文聯(lián)系.后文中寫到a large,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous一個身材高大,穿著奇特的男子被看作是危險的,所以路上沒有一個單身女的搭我去曼徹斯特毫無疑問是考慮安全,reflect動詞"考慮",所以答案選C.
54.A 考查詞義辨析.complex"復雜的";relevant"有意義的,相關的";  personal"個人的";persuasive"令人信服的",根據(jù)句意可知這里搭便車減少的原因應該不僅僅是安全問題,應該是復雜的,所以答案選A.
55.B 考查上下文聯(lián)系.下文主要是寫的擁有車的問題,所以上一句的句意是:也許英國汽車保有量的上升意味著很少有人搭便車,這通常被認為是奇怪的,說得是汽車的保有量,car ownership,所以答案選B.
56.A 考查上下文聯(lián)系.上文說英國汽車的保有量在上升,因此,潛在的搭便車人口很小,potential是"潛在的",所以答案選A.
57.C 考查前后文句意理解.根據(jù)下文我得出的結論是只有足夠瘋狂的人才讓肥胖的帶著紅圍巾的我搭便車,可見我的旅行證明搭便車是很危險的,所以答案選C..
58.D 考查詞義辨析.prediction"預測";principle"規(guī)定,規(guī)則";intension"緊張";conclusion"結論"根據(jù)句意應該是我由我的旅行得出的結論,只有足夠瘋狂的人才讓肥胖的帶著紅圍巾的我搭便車.所以答案選D.
59.B 考查句意理解:最想做好事的人;一些說他們看到一個搭便車的人,他們?nèi)滩蛔⊥O拢畇top是"停下",只有停下來才能讓人搭車,所以答案選B.
60.A 考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后文But for now,但是現(xiàn)在,可見前文說搭便車最有可能在于與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)共享的汽車組織 說的應該是將來,future"將來",故答案選A.
61.C 考查上下文聯(lián)系.前文說我沒有那樣做太多,下文應該是我愿意做的,prefer是"喜歡,寧愿做某事",所以答案選C.
62.B 考查詞義辨析.mistake"錯誤";habit"習慣"; misunderstanding"誤會";decision"決定",根據(jù)上下文理解,這里應該是說得養(yǎng)成一種習慣,所以答案選B.
63.A 考查句意理解.因為太喜歡,所以才計劃到歐洲以外做更大的旅行,所以答案選A.
64.D 考查詞義辨析.example"例子";coincidence"巧合";imagination"想象";challenge"挑戰(zhàn)",根據(jù)句意:去阿富汗是一個挑戰(zhàn),所以答案選D.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice.In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home".Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen,she was very sad.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy,I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve,I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
