To hitch-hike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him.To fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers.A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, a student his scarf.In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver’s attention.
When I hitch-hiked 9,500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella.My suitcase was decorated with British flags.Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者).I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply.
But even with careful preparation, you must not assume(认为) that the task will be easy.You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to(承认) a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of), hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London.In America, my average wait was half-an-hour, and my longest two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day; they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.
Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people.On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi.There are also lesser(较小的) risks: you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver.You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car.But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
If the hitch-hiker in the U.S.will remember that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West.It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitch-hiked in the States.
71.A hitch-hiking serviceman should wear his uniform      .
A.so as not to look too unusual              B.to attract attention
C.to show he is on duty                    D.to put the driver at ease
72.In paragraph 3, we learn that the writer     .
A.has sometimes failed to hitch a ride
B.has marched from Aldermaston to London
C.has always been successful in hitching a ride
D.has had to wait for long hours for a ridew
73.The main idea of Paragraph 4 is that      .
A.it is dangerous to be in a car with strangers
B.hitch-hiking may turn out to be risky sometimes
C.a hitch-hiker must also learn the art of quick excuse
D.hitch-hikers might come across bad drivers
74.In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should     .
A.not talk to the driver too much
B.fall asleep to make it a peaceful ride
C.try to make himself pleasant and entertaining
D.seek the willingness of drivers
75.A suitable title for the passage would be     .
A.“The Art of Hitch-hiking”      B.“An Englishman’s View of the U.S.”
C.“An English Hitch-hiker”        D.“The joys and Dangers of hitch-hiking

TV Shows and Long Bus Trips
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end— with ads thrown in every three or four minutes. The ads are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard appears outside the bus window.“Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.”“Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly daring, the ride can be as exciting as a suspense(悬念) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane?After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
【小题1】According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

A.Buses on the road.
B.Films on television.
C.Advertisements on billboards.
D.Gas stations.
【小题2】What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To talk about the similarities between long bus trips and TV shows.
B.To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C.To display the differences between long bus trips and TV shows.
D.To describe the billboards along the road.
【小题3】The writer of this passage would probably favor      
A.bus drivers who weren’t caring.
B.driving alone.
C.a television set on the bus.
D.no billboards along the road.
【小题4】The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because     
A.the ads both on TV shows and on the billboards along the road are fun.
B.they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between.
C.the drivers are always daring on TV shows just as they are on buses.
D.both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.
【小题5】The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are   
A.exciting.
B.comfortable.
C.tiring.
D.boring.

科目:高中英语 来源:2012-2013学年宁夏高三第一次月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:完型填空

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed   it   up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about______.

A. the introduction of driving skills

B. the damage of drinking to your body

C. the effect of drinking on driving

D. the process of alcohol being absorbed

2.The underlined Word“ it” in the second paragraph refers to “______ ”.

A. alcohol B. absorption    C. blood    D. process

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.

4.A driver suspected of drink driving ________.

A. should provide specimens for testing

B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years

C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points

D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $ 25,000
