Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(頭盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike. Is this advice really helpful?
Consider this for a moment: Wearing a helmet will absolutely do nothing to prevent you from getting hit by a car. Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit. Plenty of cyclists were killed by cars__________. However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today. So they saying that wearing a helmet is the first and last word in bike safety is, to some degree(在一定程度上), wrong.
The most common bike safety advice is “follow the law”. Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads. As a result, it’s clear that the “follow the law” advice isn’t that helpful, either. In addition, following the law is not enough to keep you safe. Here’s an example: The law tells you to ride on the right, but if you ride too far to the right, someone started a parked car could open their door right in front of you and motorists pulling out of driveways and parking lots will be less visible. In that case you were following the law, but could still have been hit.
Then what should we remember in order to keep safe when riding a bike? I will tell you about it in the following paragraph.
小題1:What does the author say about wearing a helmet in the second paragraph?(within 8 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
小題2:Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
However, nearly everyone knows that riding through hared traffic light is dangerous.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
小題3:Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within 5 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
小題4: List the two regular bike safety guides.(within 8words)
_______________________________________②_______________________________________
小題5:Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese.
__________________________________________________________________________________

小題1:It only helps you after you’re hit.
小題2:Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads.
小題3: when they wore helmets
小題4: wear a helmet;      follow the law.
小題5:所以很顯然“遵守交通規(guī)則”這條建議也不是特別有效。

試題分析：本文講述的是人們起自行車要想保證自己不出危險(xiǎn)的多個(gè)重要的措施和建議，不僅僅是戴頭盔和遵守規(guī)則。
小題1: It only helps you after you’re hit.
細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段2,3行Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit.可知頭盔只是在發(fā)生事故以后才會(huì)保護(hù)你。
小題2: Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads.
原句表示：幾乎沒有人都在闖紅燈是很危險(xiǎn)的。這和第二段中的Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads.是近義句。
小題3: when they wore helmets
推理題。根據(jù)下一句However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today.可知如果這些人不僅僅是戴頭盔，而且還服從規(guī)則，那么他們可能還活著。說明前句是指很多人帶著頭盔還是被汽車撞死。
小題4: wear a helmet;      follow the law.
細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(頭盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike.可知正常人們都知道戴頭盔和遵守規(guī)則是保護(hù)自己的兩個(gè)安全措施。
小題5:所以很顯然“遵守交通規(guī)則”這條建議也不是特別有效。
本句是指單純第遵守交通規(guī)則也不是很有效。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述的是人們起自行車要想保證自己不出危險(xiǎn)的多個(gè)重要的措施和建議，不僅僅是戴頭盔和遵守規(guī)則。本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體。搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié)。做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題，然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子，再對(duì)相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對(duì)比，找出答案。

The Chinese are very generous(慷慨大方的) when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.

Imagine when you are sailing an ocean for the first time, you see a big fish swimming near your ship. You might be scared, and worried about whether it will turn over your ship for a meal. In fact, it is not a fish at all, but a gentle giant whale.
Whales are not fishes but mammals (哺乳動(dòng)物). Their body temperature stays the same, and does not change with the temperature of their environment. They breathe air, so they have to come out of the water to get oxygen. Thus, they cannot afford to fall into a sleeping state for too long, since they need to be awake in order to breathe. It is thought that only half of their brains sleep at a time, so that whales are never completely asleep. Females give birth to the young. They have hair. Although they are not covered in hair or fur like many mammals, whales have some bristles (胡子), usually on their heads.
Whales are highly social animals with complex languages and intelligence. They communicate with each other using romantic sounds, called “whale songs”. Being so large and powerful, these sounds are also loud.
Whales are endangered as a result of whaling (捕鯨) from the eleventh century to the twentieth. It has attracted the attention of environmentalists and some measures (措施) have been taken to protect whales.
小題1:How many aspects show that whales are mammals?
A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
小題2:We can infer from the second paragraph that ____.
A．whales can breathe in the water
B．if a whale sleeps too long, it will get drowned
C．in order to breathe, whales never sleep
D．whales give birth to the young on the land
小題3: How do whales communicate with each other?
A．By body language.B．By speaking languages.
C．By making song-like sounds.D．By giving off a smell.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Whales are cold-blooded mammals like fishes.
B．Whales are hunted for food by people.
C．Whales are very harmful to human beings.
D．Whales are in danger because of being killed by people.

Have you ever noticed someone "talking" to them-selves? What did you think? The word "crazy" probably came to your mind. Wait a minute, though. Maybe they’re doing something meaningful.
Speaking practice can be effective in many different forms when people learn English or another foreign language. Imitating the speech of others is proven to be highly effective in developing a native speaker’s level of fluency in a language. Actually you’ve already proven that to your-self.
How? That’s how you learned your first language! Whether it was English, Spanish, French or some other language, you "imitated" your mother, father, other family members, friends, teachers and whoever else was around making "talking" noises at you as you formed your first communicative language skills.
So don’t think those who are talking to themselves are "crazy". At least don’t do so until you’ve tried it for your-self, in English or in your new foreign language.
As you go through your day, in English or your new foreign language, tell yourself what you’re doing at the moment and what you’re going to do during the day.
"Which of these shirts, ties, etc. should I wear today? Not this one, I wore it just last week. Maybe this one, but I don’t like this color with the pants. Let’s try another one," you might say as you are getting dressed.
If you live alone, you can talk aloud whenever you want without disturbing others. If you don’t live alone, however, then first explain to your family or roommates what you’ll be doing, to avoid a quiet phone call to the local psychiatrist (精神病學(xué)家).
小題1:The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.
A．tell us how to talk to ourselves
B．introduce a method of learning a foreign language
C．tell us why some people talk to themselves
D．explain to us how we learned our native language
小題2:What does the underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph refer to?
A．The word "crazy".B．A foreign language.
C．The skill of communicating.D．The method of talking to oneself.
小題3:From the passage we can know that ______.
A．people who talk to themselves are crazy
B．if you live alone, you should talk to yourself
C．you should tell yourself what you’re doing
D．we learned our native language by imitating

Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知識(shí)庫) which may be called experience, and the college students will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理論的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.
　　Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs ,of folklore (風(fēng)俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass.The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.
小題1: In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.
A．personal experience
B．wild weeds among good plants
C．the information from the parents
D．the vast store of traditional practices
小題2: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A．The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass
B．Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific
C．The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen
D．Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college students
小題3: The author advises the college students to ______ .
A．be contemptuous to the craftsman
B．be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms
C．learn the craftsman’s experience by judging it carefully
D．gain the craftsman’s experience without rejection
小題4: The main idea of this passage is about ________.
A．what to learn from the parentsB．how to gain knowledge
C．why to learn from craftsmanD．how to deal with experience

Did you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man’s face there? When the moon is round and full, the shadows(影子) of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes. At least, some people think so.
　　If there were a man on the moon—instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man—what would he be like?
　　He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows.
　　If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are, he could not stay on the moon.
　　The moon becomes very, very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very, very cold. It becomes colder than ice.
　　Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.
　　If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive, he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there. He’d have to carry an oxygen tank, as astronauts do. There’s no food on the moon, either. Nothing grows—not even weeds（grass）.
　　If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains, he would be very happy. There are many high places there, such as the raised land around the holes, or craters(火山口), of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains.
　　But if the man on the moon liked to swim, he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.
　　When you think of what it’s like on the moon, you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
　　Going back and forth between the moon and Earth, astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long, long trips to some of the planets.
　　Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer, closer view of the stars.（words: 411）
小題1:What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon.?
A．The moon is beautiful.
B．The moon is different from the earth.
C．The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
D．The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air, unlike Earth.
小題2:The underlined word “rim” in the Paragraph 8 means _________ .
A．ballB．hillC．round edgeD．height
小題3:What is the main thought of the passage?
A．We can learn much from research on the Moon.
B．There may be human beings on the moon.
C．If there were a man on the Moon, there would be many similarities between the man on the Moon and on the Earth.
D．A telescope on the Moon would help scientists have a clearer, closer sight of the stars.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemical and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition .This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.                                    
There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
小題1:What do we know about golf from the passage?
A．It is not played in Portugal and Spain at all.
B．It causes water shortages around the world.
C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
小題2:The author uses power walking as an example mainly because ________.
A．it is an outdoor sport
B．it improves our health
C．it uses fewer resources
D．it is recommended by experts
小題3:The author writes the passage to ________
A．show us the function of major sports
B．encourage us to go in for green sports
C．discuss the major influence of popular sports

Sometimes there doesn’t seem to be enough rain. Other times there is too much. Maybe thereisn’t a lot we can do to control the rain, but there is a lot we can do to reduce problems caused bydifferent rainfall patterns.
A new development at the London Wetland Centre in Barnes solves the problems of managingwater with a “Rain Garden”. We are likely to be hearing about it a lot more often over the next fewyears. The idea is that the garden owner can store rainwater and use it in dry periods. They canreduce the problems caused by extra rain this way.
One of the key problems that the rain garden tries to deal with is the problem caused by toomuch water in the street. In a natural environment, a lot of rainwater is sent back into the air byplants. Much is also absorbed deep into the ground, and flows into streams and rivers. What happensin city environments can be completely different —— a large amount of rainwater flows straight offthe hard surfaces of roofs and roads. The harder the rain, the less likely it will be absorbed into theground —— floods are the result. Rainwater running off roads is often polluted.
The rain garden deals with living plants rather than hard surfaces. Plants are designed to holdwater and release it slowly, either into the ground, to be absorbed by plant roots (and so eventuallyback up into the atmosphere) or to go down into the water table. Not only does the rain gardenreduce the amount of water that flows onto the street, but it helps to clean it because plants are very goodat breaking down pollutants(污染物).
小題1:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Explaining why there is a lack of rain at times.
B．Introducing several different patterns of rainfall.
C．Telling us how to avoid problems caused by rain.
D．Giving the idea that there are ways to manage rain water.
小題2:According to the second paragraph, “Rain Gardens" are likely to _____.
A．harm the environment in the short run
B．become popular over the next few years
C．be turned down by most new developments
D．be too expensive for common people to accept
小題3:We can learn from the third paragraph that _____.
A．floods are often the results of small rains
B．a(chǎn) heavy rain is less difficult for plants to absorb
C．the rain garden helps send rainwater back into the air
D．larger amounts of rainwater flow straight off in city environments
小題4:According to the last paragraph, what does the rain garden help to clean?
A．The plantsB．The ground.C．The water.D．The street.
