試題分析:本文是一篇記敘文。講述了喬在開車回家的路上,幫助了一位老太太,當(dāng)老太太給他錢的時候,他不求回報,只是希望她也去幫助那些需要幫助的人。之后,當(dāng)老太太在餐館吃飯時,沒有要找回的零錢,幫助了懷孕8個月的女服務(wù)員,而且也希望她能夠把愛心傳遞下去。
1..B 考查名詞辨析。A.surprise 驚訝;B.hand 手; C.sympathy同情; D.glance瞥視。從上文可知那位老太太的車壞在路邊,喬給老太太換輪胎(She had a flat tire. Joe crawled under the car and changed the tire)看出喬停下來幫忙,固定搭配:give sb a hand幫某人忙,選B。
2..D 考查短語辨析。A just in case“萬一”; B as you wish“如你所愿”; C for one thing“一方面”; D by the way“順便說一下”。根據(jù)情景可知答案選D,其他不符合語境。
3..A 考查形容詞辨析。A.enough 充足; B.right正確的; C.straight直的; D.extra額外的。從情理可知喬給老太太換輪胎,弄得很臟,手還受傷了,所以老太太十分感激他。couldn't thank him enough“再怎么感謝他也不過分”。
4..C 考查動詞辨析。A. charged收費; B.provided 提供; C.owed 欠,歸功于;D.offered主動提供。從上文可知喬幫助老太太換輪胎,所以老太太應(yīng)該是問他應(yīng)該付給他多少錢,也就是欠他多少錢。不是索取,也不是提供,選C。
5..A 考查動詞辨析。A pay sb back還給……錢,償還,報答。B bring帶來;C put放;D hold控制,保留。根據(jù)語境可知選A。句意:喬是說要是真的想報答他……。

7..B 考查名詞辨析。A guidance指導(dǎo);B assistance幫助; C acquaintance熟人,相識;D consequence結(jié)果。根據(jù)前句中出現(xiàn)的help可知此處是說給那些需要幫助的人提供幫助(assistance)。

16..D 考查動詞辨析。Awriting寫;B showing展示;C going 去;D saying 說,顯示。這里說的是紙條上的內(nèi)容,所以選saying,意思是:“寫著”。而write的主語應(yīng)該是人。選D。

Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John. Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.
We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒). ___1.___
John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___2.___
Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___3.___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”
Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. ____4.___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.
It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____5.___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.
A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.
B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.
C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.
D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.
E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of tools
F. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons.
G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.

Urbanization
Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago 1. . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (鄉(xiāng)村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginning. 2. .The process of urbanization--- the migration (遷移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and
where they live.
In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 3. .
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _ 4. . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country 5._ Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

Fumbling with the buttons to find a good song while driving has been linked to increased risk of crashes, but is listening to music risky? “It depends on the music,” says a report published in the October issue of Accident Analysis & Prevention.
The study found teenage drivers who played their own music had significantly more traffic violations(違規(guī)) compared with background music designed by the researchers to minimize driving distractions, or no music.
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel recruited(招募) 85 drivers about 18 years old; just over half were male. The subjects were each assigned to drive six challenging road trips that were about 40 minutes long, accompanied by an experienced driving instructor. Music was played on four trips, two with selections from the drivers' playlists, mostly fast-paced vocals, and two with background music, which was a mixture of easy listening, soft rock and light jazz designed to increase driver safety. No music was played on two trips. Subjects rated their mood after each trip and in-car data recorders analyzed driver behavior and errors.
All 85 subjects committed at least three errors in one or more of the six trips; 27 received a warning and 17 required steering or braking by an instructor to prevent an accident. When the music was their own, 98% made errors; without the music, 92% made errors; and while listening to the safe-driving music, 77% made errors. Speeding, following too close, inappropriate lane use, one-handed driving and were the common violations.
The male subjects were more aggressive drivers and made more serious errors than female subjects. The teens played their own music at a very loud volume but significantly decreased the sound level when listening to the safe-driving music, researchers said. Mood ratings were highest on trips with driver-preferred music.
1.What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?
A. Many drivers played their favorite music while driving.
B. Drivers shouldn’t search for the buttons to find a good song.
C. Song selection has nothing to do with increased risk of crashes.
D. Listening to certain types of music can increase drivers’ errors.
2.What does the underlined word “ subjects” refer to in this passage?
A. Something being discussed. B. People being written about.
C. People being tested. D. Areas of knowledge or study.
3.In the research, soft rock and light jazz are likely to _______.
A. increase drivers’ safety
B. add to the pleasure of driving
C. change drivers’ idea of safe driving
D. lower drivers’ guard against danger
4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the research ______.
A. the teens committed the most errors
B. the male were more skillful in driving
C. traveling with no music made the least errors
D. driver-preferred music increased the mood ratings
