【題目】New drivers who are caught using a phone at the wheel will lose their license under new law that comes into force today.

From Wednesday anyone found calling, texting or using an app while driving will face a 200 pounds on-the-spot fine and six points on their license. It means that new drivers—who can lose a maximum of six points before being banned for the first two years after passing their test—will face an immediate ban for sending a single text message. Previously they were able to avoid getting points on their license by taking part in retraining courses. More experienced motorists can lose their license if they receive 12 points in a three-year period.

It follows a tragic(災(zāi)難的) incident in which Polish lorry driver Tomasz Kroker killed four members of the same family after failing to stop while scrolling (滾動(dòng)) through music on his phone. Twenty-two people were killed and 99 seriously injured in accidents on Britain’s roads in 2015 where a motorist using a mobile was a main cause of accidents.

Research by the RAC has found that one in four motorists admit checking texts, emails and social media while driving. Chris Grayling, the Transport Secretary, said increasing punishment would act as a “strong deterrent(震懾物)”. He added, “Everyone has a part to play in encouraging their family and friends not to use their phones while driving. It is as inexcusable(不可原諒的) as drink-driving. ”

【1】People will lose six points on their license while driving except________.

A. calling B. texting

C. using an app D. carrying phones

【2】Who will lose his license according to the passage?

A. New drivers lose 5 points for the first two years.

B. New drivers lose 6 points during three years.

C. Experienced drivers lose 12 points in three years.

D. Experienced drivers lose 6 points in three years.

【3】What led to the appearance of the new law?

A. The research by the RAC.

B. A serious accident.

C. The survey of the website.

D. The news on TV.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. More severe punishment is effective.

B. Most of drivers use phones while driving.

C. A driver’s family and friends make no difference.

D. Using phones while driving is more harmful than drink-driving.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

本文為說(shuō)明文。從周三開(kāi)始，任何人被發(fā)現(xiàn)開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)打電話、發(fā)短信或使用應(yīng)用程序都將面臨200英鎊的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)罰款和駕照扣損失6分的懲罰。新的法律對(duì)于事故的發(fā)生起著強(qiáng)有力的威懾作用。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的From Wednesday anyone found calling, texting or using an app while driving will face a 200 pounds on-the-spot fine and six points on their license. 可知，“從周三開(kāi)始，任何人發(fā)現(xiàn)開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)打電話、發(fā)短信或使用應(yīng)用程序都將面臨200英鎊的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)罰款和駕照扣6分的懲罰�！庇纱丝芍�，A、B和C三者都是要扣分的，D項(xiàng)帶著手機(jī)是可以的，故D項(xiàng)符合題意。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句More experienced motorists can lose their license if they receive 12 points in a three-year period.可知，“經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的駕車(chē)者如果在三年內(nèi)被罰12分，就會(huì)失去駕照”由此可知，C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，由于駕駛過(guò)程中出現(xiàn)的重大事故，導(dǎo)致了惡性事件，多人死亡，從而促使了新法律的出現(xiàn)。分析選項(xiàng)可知B符合題意。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Chris Grayling, the Transport Secretary, said increasing punishment would act as a “strong deterrent(震懾物)”. He added, “Everyone has a part to play in encouraging their family and friends not to use their phones while driving. It is as inexcusable(不可原諒的) as drink-driving. ”可知，更嚴(yán)重的懲罰將起到“強(qiáng)有力的威懾作用”。分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)（更嚴(yán)厲的懲罰是有效的）符合題意。故選A項(xiàng)。

【題目】People Are People

Globalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable one hundred years ago. Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods. 【1】 And our society has lately emphasized the importance of diversity.

【2】 Take the following old proverbs for example.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

—Thomas Jefferson, American President

One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.

—African proverb

Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest.

—Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher

A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat.

—Hindu saying

【3】 There seems to be a sort of cultural unity.

We don’t wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating (情有可原) circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. 【4】 But both cultures may still value both.

To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding—a human culture, if you will—that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. 【5】

A. All people seem to agree that we should tell the truth.

B. Each value supports many more quotes from different cultures.

C. As cultures rub shoulders with each other, many differences stand out.

D. We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.

E. These quotes from four separate cultures all support the same value—honesty.

F. It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same—we are just people.

G. In other words, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.

【題目】Carri Kessler and her husband Will named their daughter Ottilie after a friend from the U. K, who helped them a lot. However, right after their baby girl was born, the couple noticed a big problem. “No one could remember her name and no one could pronounce it. We’re going to keep having to introduce her!” Kessler told Today.com.

The situation then grew worse as Kessler’s grandmother admitted to sticking Post-it notes around the house to help remind her of Ottilie’s name which can be pronounced either Ott-ill-ee or Oh-TEEL-ya. Three months after Ottilie was born, the Kesslers have decided to legally change their daughter’s name. The couple came up with two possible names. They then settled on Margot after talking to a name expert.

The Kesslers’ situation is no exception as an increasing number of parents experience the same as the Kesslers. According to Baby Center Canada, 11% of its users wish they could change their children’s names due to being over popular, mispronounced or simply unfitting. Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than their parents.

To deal with this, a number of name experts now offer services to help parents choose the right name. Couples have also sought help from the Internet to choose their baby’s name. However, parents can change their child’s name in the event that they regret their choice. In Canada, the rules vary in each province. For instance, in Ontario, the child must have lived in the province for the past 12 months, or since birth if under the age of one. Each of the child’s legal guardians (監(jiān)護(hù)人) must also give permission.

【1】Why did Kessler and her husband name their daughter Ottilie?

A. It was very special and unusual.

B. It was at the request at their mother.

C. It was recommended by a name expert.

D. It could remind them of their British friend.

【2】What’s the function of the example about the Kesslers?

A. To ask for advice on their situation.

B. To introduce the topic of the text.

C. To show the background of the text.

D. To stress the importance of a suitable name.

【3】What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A. The Kesslers’ experience is not uncommon.

B. Unfitness is the main reason for changing names.

C. 11% of Canadians are unsatisfied with their babies’ names.

D. Parents always pay more attention to children’s names.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. Rules for name change. B. Ways to name babies.

C. Baby name regret. D. A couple’s anxiety.

A psychotherapist once taught me a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationship.

She said, "Look at him and imagine him as a very little boy; that way, you separate yourself somewhat from the adult, and you are likely to understand and forgive him."

It actually helped. I couldn't be as mad at or disappointed by a child as I could be with a grown man. So, at least on some occasions, we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a not-so-silent argument. And I sometimes still use versions of that trick whenever I feel frustrated or angry in other relationships or personal exchanges.

But what if you could mentally change the form of the emotion itself? According to scientists at the University of Texas, maybe you can.

Focusing specifically on sadness, the researchers asked two groups of study participants to write about a time in their lives when they felt very sad. They then asked one group to imagine sadness as a person, and write down a description of the person they imagined would be sadness. Not surprisingly, the participants described sadness in such ways as an older person with gray hair and sunken eyes or a young girl holding her head down as she slowly walked along.

The researchers asked the other group of participants to write down a description of sadness with respect to its impact on their moods. When asked to rate their levels of sadness after completing their descriptions, the participants who wrote about the emotion itself and how it affects them reported higher levels of sadness than the group that anthropomorphized (人格化)sadness into a specific type of person with familiar human characteristics. The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion, participants can view sadness as something (or someone) separate and somewhat distant from themselves, helping them relieve their negative feelings.

While it's okay to feel sad, many people behave in unconscious and sometimes self-destructive ways to distract or "save" themselves when they are consumed by negative emotions. So in the study authors wanted to know whether or not the group that reported feeling less sad would make smarter shopping decisions.

They tested this by asking participants in both groups to first choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert to go with the main dish they were having for lunch. The researchers also asked participants to choose between a computer loaded with features for productivity or a computer loaded with features for entertainment. Those study participants who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.

For obvious reasons, then, they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.
