【题目】阅读理解
The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual (虚拟的) speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving, and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers (减速带),” India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted.
The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier this month, India bad ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.
India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world According to the World Health Organization, over 200,00 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.
The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorist. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.
India, cities such as Ahmadabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmadabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.
However, critics argue that once divers know that these speed briers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.
（1）According to the passage, 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers in India aims to ________.
A.replace all speed breakers from highways
B.encourage essential requirements of speed breakers
C.check speeding and careless driving on all highways
D.remind divers to speed down voluntarily for road safety
（2）What caused the high number of road accident deaths in India?
A.Speeding motorists.
B.Floating 3D crossings.
C.Free use of visual illusions.
D.Bad application of traffic laws.
（3）The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by ________.
A.giving examples
B.analyzing causes
C.providing figures
D.making comparisons
（4）What's the author's attitude towards 3D zebra crossings?
A.Subjective.
B.Objective.
C.Supportive.
D.Critical.
【答案】
（1）D
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，叙述了印度政府用3D图画作为主要路段的减速器，目的是使危险的路段变得更安全。但有人也对此种方法的有效性表示怀疑。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving, and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer”可知，印度政府用3D图画作为主要路段的减速器目的是提醒司机自动地减速从而使公路更安全。故选D。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,00 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws.”根据世界卫生组织统计数据，道路安全法规的不规范实施每年导致20多万印度人死于交通肇事。可知，故选D。（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.”可知，作者通过例子来解释3D斑马线的实验。故选A。
（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.”不过，也有人持反对意见，因为司机一旦熟悉这种3D斑马线带来的幻觉，他们就可能会直接忽略这些装置。还有人指出，印度政府的决定没有考虑到广大行人的安全。这种提高道路安全的新政策可能只是一时有效而已。可知，作者以客观的态度去认识3D斑马线。故选B。

【题目】Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”
Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “I’ll learn chess,” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you’ll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
【1】What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Way on How to Write.
B. Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.
C. How to Start Your Writing.
D. Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.
【2】According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT _____.
A. the increase of your brain power
B. the ability to remember
C. the development of your interest in study
D. the better understanding of a topic
【3】The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in the fifth paragraph implies that ______.
A. you are already successful B. you still need to work hard
C. writing can help you walk half way D. You have been on the way to success
【4】What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text?
A. To advise readers to start their writing. B. To explain the importance of writing.
C. To persuade readers to become writers. D. To increase readers’ brain power.

Small islands that bear the brunt of rising sea levels also face the greatest risk of diseases linked to a warmer planet, health leaders said on Saturday, as 13 million medical professionals added to the calls for a global climate pact.
Hundreds of thousands more people will die every year from heat stroke and tropical illnesses unless negotiators in Paris can agree a strong global deal to decrease global warming the Global Climate and Health Alliance said.
The Would Health Organization has warned that the effects of extreme weather on the fight against malnutrition, malaria and diarrhea alone will account for an extra 250,000 premature deaths a year by 2030.
“In the case of small island states like Tuvalu, the health impacts of climate change are palpable,” said the island's health minister.
“When we are talking about climate change, this is important for the future health of our people, and people everywhere.”
John Usamate, health minister for Fiji, said the island was suffering from climate-related diseases such as dengue fever and chikungunya, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes and unknown in Fiji.
“As the climate changes, we are seeing new infectious diseases and many other health impacts,” he said.
The Global Climate and Health Alliance groups more than 1,700 health organizations and 8,200 hospitals and health facilities.
It is said it had collected 13 million signatories（签字者） from its members wanting to come to a medical agreement on the need to fight against global warming.
Even without the wider effects of climate change, air pollution from fossil fuels, especially from coal-fired electricity and vehicle emissions（排放）, is a major cause of early death.
In the European Union, more than 400,000 early deaths a year are linked to air pollution that cause respiratory disease and some forms of cancer, the European Commission has found.
（1）What is the possible result of global warming?
A.Many small islands will appear.
B.Many cars will be banned driving.
C.The sea level will continually decrease.
D.Many people will die from climate-related diseases.
（2）Why did so many people join together?
A.To fight against global warming.
B.To fight off climate-related diseases.
C.To decrease the effects of climate change.
D.To force the government to take measures.
（3）What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Cancer is a disease caused by air pollution.
B.More than 400,000 people die each year in Europe.
C.Climate change is the main cause of many diseases.
D.No air pollution, no deaths.
（4）What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to prevent climate change.
B.How to prevent emission of harmful gases.
C.The effect that climate change has on health.
D.Measures to prevent air pollution.
