【题目】

With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams (堵车) are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to more accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.

Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.

Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.

Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.

__________. Most traffic jams usually occur(发生) during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.

Use public transport instead. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money.

【题目】Have you ever heard of the expression “birdbrain”? People use it to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows(乌鸦) show that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies (类推法).

It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively.

To test this ability in animals, scientists do RMTS tests. If a pair was AA, for example, picking BB to match it would be correct. If the pair was CD, however, then EF would be correct.

Monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape and number in what is called IMTS, then moved onto RMTS.

For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plate that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample (样本), while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card had some food to eat.

In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with RMTS tests. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles (圆). The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science News reports.

Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is surprising,” he said.

So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” for good.

【1】In the opening paragraph, the writer used “birdbrain” to .

A. teach people how to use this expression

B. introduce a famous scientist Edward Wasserman

C. introduce recent findings about crows’ intelligence (智力)

D. get readers interested in the background of the expression

【2】The underlined phrase this ability in the 3rd paragraph refers to .

A. the ability to play cards

B. the ability to find food to eat

C. the ability to understand analogies

D. the ability to pick the test card

【3】In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample like this, which card should they pick?

A. B. C. D.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A. Monkeys understand analogies.

B. Crows show how clever they are.

C. Crows did well in RMTS.

D. Monkeys are cleverer than crows.

It isn’t just ski wear; some bridal (新娘的) shops have also introduced charges. Martha Jones, owner of Wedded Bliss, a bridal shop in Melbourne, explains, “we get a lot of people who are not here to buy dresses 【1】 . Either they try on in-store and then shop online, or they are girls who are not even getting married; they just want to see what they look like in different wedding dresses. Fitting a woman for her wedding dress is a specialist skill that we take very 2, and we put in time and 3 to make sure the dress is exactly right.’ The fee has been successful: ‘We’ve had fewer time-wasters,’ explains Jones, ‘which means we have been able to give our real customers an even better service.’

Would you pay to try on clothes? Do you think it is 4 to charge brides to try on dresses? Let us know in the comments section below.

【题目】Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):

As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.

Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (个人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.

Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.

My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.

【1】 Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?

【2】What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? Give one example.

【3】How did they decide who practised with the car first?

【4】How often could each of the triplets have the “alone time” with their father?

【5】In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)

They have different __________ and __________.

【6】What are the bad things about being a triplet?

【题目】

But Parbati doesn’t catch elephant just for fun . “My 【1】 ,” she says, “is to protect man from the elephants, and to keep the elephant safe from man.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. 2 ,the Indian elephant is angry for many years, hunters have attacked it and its home in the forest has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to 3 the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.

Being an elephant tamer also needs love. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a baby elephant. “Finally they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more 4 than humans,” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the huge, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
