【解析】

試題分析：本文是一份美國波士頓到紐約的列車時刻表。

1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)Lv.(Leave) Boston 中1:15 PM Daily和Ar. New York 中5:45 PM，得知下午1:15從波士頓出發(fā)，下午5:45到紐約。是列車所花費的最短時間，4小時30分。故選D。

2.細節(jié)理解題。至少有3趟列車是Daily每日通行的列車，因此判斷出在圣誕節(jié)至少有3趟列車波士頓開往紐約。選B。

3. AM 從波士頓坐火車出發(fā)，在Midway 11:00 AM下車，停留1小時，為了在天黑前趕到紐約，應該乘坐波士頓1:15 PM Daily那班列車，在下午5:45到紐約。其它時間都是晚間到紐約，不符合題目要求。故選A。

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便車).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

1.The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .

A. her work delayed her trip to Sydney

B. she was going home for her holidays

C. the town was far away from Sydney

D. she missed the only train back home

2.Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?

A. He helped the girl find a ride.

B. He gave the girl a ride back home.

C. He bought sandwiches for the girl.

D. He watched the girl for three hours.

3.The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .

A. she realized he was Gordon

B. she had known him for decades

C. she was going to the nearby town

D. she wanted to repay the favour she once got

4.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

A. Giving sometimes produces nice results.

B. Those who give rides will be rapid.

C. Good manners bring about happiness.

D. People should offer free rides to others.

The works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are “rocket?boosters” to the brain and better than the other self?help books，researchers will say this week.

Scientists，psychologists and the English experts at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind，catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self?reflection.Using scanners，they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read the works by William Shakespeare，William Wordsworth，T.S Eliot and other classical writers.

They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”，modern language and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more “challenging” articles and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the modern versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “l(fā)it up” as the readers came across unusual words，surprising phrases or difficult sentence structures.This “l(fā)ighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark，shifting the brain to a higher speed，encouraging further reading.

The research also found that reading poetry，in particular，increases the activities in the right side of the brain，an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”，helping readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they have read.The experts said this meant the classics were more useful than self?help books.

Philip Davis，an English professor who has worked on the study with the university，will tell a conference this week：“Serious literature acts like a rocket?booster (火箭助推器) to the brain.”

“The research shows the power of classical literature to shift mental pathways，to create new thoughts，shapes and connections in the young and the old alike.”

1.The author mentioned Shakespeare and Wordsworth in Paragraph One to________.

A．show their great achievements

B．a(chǎn)ttract our interest in literature

C．introduce the topic of the text

D．encourage us to read their works

2.According to the text，reading classical works can________.

A．help deal with some physical problems

B．benefit our mind and thinking

C．improve our reading skills

D．help learn more about history

3.The scientists and experts did the experiment by________.

A．scanning the readers’ brain activities

B．reading works of different writers

C．lighting up the activities of the brains

D．investigating the habits of the readers

4.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that reading poetry________.

A．is concerned with the right side of the brain

B．has the same effects as reading self?help books

C．helps you forget the things in the past

D．makes you more serious and objective

5.What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To introduce some great writers in England.

B．To present a study on brain activities.

C．To introduce a research on reading classics.

D．To show the power of classical literature.
