13.Any car accident is frightening,but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water,with you trapped inside,is absolutely terrifying.(32)DHowever,most deaths result from panic,without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water.By adopting a brace position (防沖擊姿勢(shì)),acting decisively and getting out fast,you can save yo urself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact.As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water,adopt a brace position.The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle,so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the"ten and two"position.
Undo your seatbelt.(33)FUnbuckle the children,starting with the oldest first.Forget the cellphone call.Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.(34)ALeave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window.A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water,so try the method of opening it electronically first.Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window.If you aren't able to open the window,or it only opens halfway,you'll need to break it with an object or your foot.It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.(35)GEscape when the car has equalized.If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced,you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.(36)CWhile there is still air in the car,take slow,deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.
 
A.Open the window as soon as you hit the water.
B.Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.
C.It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.
D.Such accidents are particularly dangerous due to the risk of drowning.
E.In conclusion,if you know what to do in the water,you'll be safe.
F.This is the first thing to attend to,yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G.But the sooner the window is open,the sooner you can escape directly through it.

分析 汽車沉入水中的交通事故是可怕的,大多數(shù)溺亡是由于驚慌失措,不知道在水中該去做什么而造成的.采取支撐姿勢(shì)避免沖擊力,堅(jiān)定地想辦法從窗口逃生,從車中快速移動(dòng)出來,就能在下沉的車中生存下來.

解答 32.D  從前面的句子:but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water,with you trapped inside,is absolutely terrifying.可知這樣的事故特別危險(xiǎn),容易淹死.選D
33:F 從前面的句子:Undo your seatbelt.松開安全帶與F項(xiàng)中的This is the first thing to attend to相對(duì)應(yīng),可知當(dāng)汽車掉進(jìn)水里的時(shí)候,首先要解開安全帶,但是在驚慌的時(shí)候,人們經(jīng)常會(huì)忘記這一點(diǎn),選F
34:A 從后面的句子:Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window.可知要盡快打開窗戶,這與A項(xiàng)相對(duì)應(yīng).選A
35:G 首先空格前句與空格處為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,本段仍舊圍繞"window進(jìn)行闡述,G項(xiàng)表達(dá)的意思是打開窗戶逃生,與本段主旨一致,選G
36:C 空前的"the car cabin has been filled with water"與C項(xiàng)中的"fill up with water"對(duì)應(yīng),C項(xiàng)所表達(dá)的意思也與空格后的"While there is still air in the car,take slow,deep breaths and focus on what you're doing."相關(guān)聯(lián),意思是車內(nèi)充滿水大約需要60到120秒的時(shí)間,故選C

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在答題中,應(yīng)首先略讀一下短文,了解一下短文的大致意思,然后把幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)含義理解透,尤其注意意思相近,表達(dá)有交叉的選項(xiàng)之間的區(qū)別.然后再細(xì)讀短文,把答案填入合適位置.答題時(shí)可以把含義相近的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)輪流填入同一處位置,反復(fù)閱讀,反復(fù)體會(huì),找出最佳選項(xiàng),對(duì)于實(shí)在沒有把握的小題可以留待最后完成.完成短文后,再認(rèn)真通讀一遍全文,看看上下語意是否通順,是否符合邏輯關(guān)系

4.Studying Abroad
Nowadays,studying abroad gains popularity in China.Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than have them educated in China.
As every coin has two sides,studying abroad is not an exception(例外).There are advantages for people to attend school abroad.In the first place,he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved,as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve second-language than living in the country where it is spoken.While studying in a foreign country,he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world.This is not only exciting on the social level,but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well.He can get familiar with the knowledge updated in science and get the chance to use the first-rate facilities (設(shè)備) available.In this way,there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon (眼界) and broaden his mind.
Of course,attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems.The most serious problem is language barrier (障礙).Most of the students who go abroad don't have enough skills in the language spoken there.As a result,on arriving there,they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say.Besides,for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people,they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.
Therefore,given an opportunity to attend a school abroad,one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.
Title:Studying Abroad
PhenomenonSending children abroad for education becoming (86)popular among many rich parents
Advantages●Having the best chance to improve the second language because it is in their (87)daily use.
●More likely to make friends with other students from abroad.
●Getting to learn the latest knowledge in science and have access to the best facilities.
(88)Disadvantages●Language barrier:Not skilled at the language spoken there,students will have (89)difficulty/trouble/problems in understanding what the teachers say.
●Cross-culture problem:Dealing with cross-culture communication turns out difficult due to lacking knowledge of the customs of the locals.
ConclusionBoth sides of the factors should be considered carefully before a (90)decision is made.

2.Hello.I'm Jan from Mrs.Lake's class.My class wants to work together to help the public.We think we have found a great way to do this.Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town.We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program.This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads.We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet.When a highway is adopted,only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people.The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it.The sign is put up at the side of the road.This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer.Also,the government does not have to send out as many road workers.This saves money.Finally,people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people,especially teenagers like us,cleaning them up.
We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway.If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week.We will meet in Mrs.Lake'room on Wednesday at 6:00P.M.At the meeting,we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts.Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.Remember to keep our roads clean!

29.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?C
A.Giving names to the highways.
B.Drawing pictures of highways.
C.Picking up litter along the roads.
D.Putting up signs near the roads.
30.What should the students do first if they want to join the program?D
A.Pick a spot to care for.
B.Call Mrs.Lake next week.
C.Write a letter to their parents.
D.Go to a meeting on Wednesday.
31.What is the purpose of this speech?A
A.To encourage students to join the program.
B.To introduce the traffic system.
C.To show drivers how to drive safely.
D.To tell a story about adopting a pet.
32.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?B
A.Adopt-a-Pet                    
B.Adopt-a-Highway
C.Ways to Protect the Environment   
D.Volunteers on Roads.
