    Wearing seat belt is，of course，the first step to safe driving．These additional measures might also save your life.
    Count to three．Keeping up enough space between your car and others is extreme1y necessary．Jim Clark，a California driving instructor，suggests a least amount of three seconds’following distance．To figure this，pick an object on the roadside ahead．When the car in front of you passes it，start counting one-thousand-one,one-thousand-two，one-thousand-three．If you get to that object before you reach one-thousand-three，you don’t have three seconds of following time --- time needed to keep away from accidents．
    Let followers pass．“If someone’s driving after you，get out of his way，”Clark advises．“You’re better of being safe than right．”
    Expect the worst．In a study，the Federal Highway Administration(联邦公路局)found that 68 percent of drivers do not come to a complete stop at stop signs．When you’re driving and see someone come near to a stop sing，assume the person’s not going to stop．
    And when you stop at a crossing and another car comes near with its turn signal on，don’t take it true that the driver will turn．Instead，wait until he turns．He may have had the signal on for miles．
    Stay outside．In crowd，multilane(多车道) traffic，drive in either the outside--left or outside--right lane．“That allows you somewhere to go if a problem develops,”traffic expert Francis Kenel says．“If you’re in the middle，all you can do is to pause from time to time．”
    小题1:According to the text if you want to drive safely you should   ．
    A．wear seat beltB．take some additional measures
    C．at least take 5 stepsD．count to three
    小题2:When you finish counting“one-thousand-three",you have   ．
    A．driven one thousand and three metresB．kept three seconds’distance from other cars
    C．counted a lot of numbersD．kept a long distance from the object
    小题3:What does the underlined word“assume”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
    A．Maybe．B．Guess．C．Ask．D．Suppose．
    小题4:Mr．Kenel tells us while driving in multilane traffic_______.   
    A．we’d better find somewhere to go
    B．it will be better for us to drive in the outside lanes
    C．it is safer to drive in the middle
    D．we must drive on the left

    小题1:C
    小题1:B
    小题1:D
    小题1:B

    小题1:通读全文可知，安全驾驶至少包括五个方面：wear seat belt，count to three，let followers pass，expect the worst，stay outside。
    小题1:由于从one-thousand-one开始数秒，所以数完one-thousand-three，就说明三秒钟已经过去，即你和其他车辆已有三秒钟的距离。
    小题1:结合上下语境可知，assume的意思是“假定”，所以和suppose同义。
    小题1:从文章最后一段第二句可知：在多车道上驾车时，最好走外车道。

    Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap（水龙头）?
    In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week's groceries（日用杂货）．When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it's common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with them．In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a year．
    But all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment．In order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 months．
    So why don't people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that's not necessarily true．In the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safe．There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the water．
    People love the convenience of bottled water．But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plastic．
    Some argue that plastic bottle recycling can help．Recycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothing．Unfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycled．The rest make it to landfills（垃圾填坦场） or end as trash in other places．Plastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrate．
    Water is important for you, so keep drinking it．But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change．
    And yes, you can make a difference．Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours．
    小题1:How many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?
    A．100． B．I,000．C．100,000．D．I,000,000．
    小题2:Why do Americans prefer bottled water?
    A．Bottled water is better than water from the tap．
    B．Bottled water is cheaper than water from the tap．
    C．Bottled water contains beneficial chemicals in it．
    D．Bottled water is more convenient than water from the tap．
    小题3:What does the underlined word "disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean^
    A．Be well recycled．B．Become less poisonous．
    C．Break into small pieces．D．Go down below a surface．
    小题4:The author's intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans
    A．drink more water from the tap
    B．send plastic bottles to landfills.
    C．use water bottles to power light bulbs
    D．buy bottles filled with water from the tap

    Changsha,
    Hunan Province
    May 6, 2010
    Dear editor,
    Under China’s current educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.

    “ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”

    "I've changed my mind．I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back．" Lucien Lawrence's letter to Father Christmas, written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gale, must have touched every heart．Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky．When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stare for a while．
    But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again．And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart．I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than 1 ever did when they were alive．I still live to please them and I'm still surprised by their reactions．I remember that when I became a professor,! was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to call my parents．The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!" I haven't forgotten．The values of my parents still live on．
    It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care．Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors （挑衅者）, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas'' It's a serious thought, one to give me pause．
    I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet " Deliver my soul from the sword（剑）, and my darling from the power of the dog．" Yet I know the death comes to us all,
    and sometimes comes suddenly．We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die
    tomorrow．We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved．and therefore we ought to have a care
    for what they will remember and what they will treasure．If more parents knew this in their hearts to
    be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today．

    Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
    The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to the ice.
    One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out
    there.”
    We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very iii, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.
    Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life it still had might be pecked（啄）out by those great swan beaks.
    Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice and held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.
    This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question:“ If so for birds, why not for man?”
    小题1:What happened to the Canada goose?
    A．It was deserted by other geese.B．It was stuck in the ice.
    C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly.D．It was lost in the water.
    小题2: At first the author’s friend was worried that ________.
    A．the swans would not help the Canada goose
    B．the swans would have the same fate with the Canada goose
    C．the Canada goose wouldn’t identify with the swans
    D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
    小题3:What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?
    A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
    B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
    C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
    D．They stayed with it and protected it.
    小题4:What would probably happen to the author’s friend in the end?
    A．She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried.
    B．She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose.
    C．She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently.
    D．She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.

    It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?
    One of the greatest sources of tension(紧张情绪)between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.
    However, at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.
    There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease(缓解)the tension.
    * Make your plans in advance．Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.
    * When something with your friends interferes(干扰；冲突)with a family event, try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.
    * Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.
    Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome(结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration(体谅)for the feelings of both your family and your friends, you can solve the problem in a tender way.

    Long before they became doctors, lawyers, CEO’s or real estate developers, they played in garage bands and maybe even dreamed of becoming rock stars. That’s why they signed up for Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp.
    For nearly a week, the mostly middle-aged “campers” had practiced in the West 54th Street studios. They came from as far away as London and Tokyo and as close as Long Island and downtown New York to prepare for their moment of onstage glory.
    “I feel like I’m 18 again,” said Jerry Goldberg, a 60-year-old investment banker and guitar player, whose family was in the audience.” I admit that I felt a little uncertain when I first got here, but this has turned out to be a wonderful experience, one of the greatest of my life.”
    Everybody has two businesses, their own business and show business. This can be a life-changing experience for them. Mr. Daltrey, who has appeared at several fantasy camps, was asked why he keeps coming back.
    “I’ve had people tell me that I shouldn’t be doing this, that it's bad for my image,” he acknowledged. “But that’s rubbish. Look, it’s all so positive, and everybody is having so much fun. So what’s bad about that?”
    Jeff Munger, a drummer and rancher(农场主) said. “I’m at a point in my life where I’m going to spend my money on things I’m passionate about, and I’m absolutely crazy about music.”
    Most of the campers are successful executives or professionals: a founder of the Oracle Computer Company, a businessman whose father invented the Big Mac, a plastic surgeon, presidents of health care and seafood companies.
    小题1:This text is mainly about________.
    A．a music course for the elderly people
    B．a pop club for professional musicians

    A．They are all interested in charity.
    B．They are all passionate about music.

    London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has about seven million people. The river Thames runs through London.
    People from all over the world visit London to see Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. There are many museums, theatres and parks in London, as well as offices and factories. London began as a Roman settlement called Londinium. The plague(瘟疫) came to London in the 1600s, followed by the Great Fire of 1666. The city was badly bombed in World War II.
    London is very slowly sinking into its foundations and the level of the river Thames is slowly rising. As a result, extra-high tides could flood a large part of London. To prevent this happening, a great barrier（屏障）has been built across the Thames at Woolwich. If very high tides happen, the barrier can be raised and London will be safe.
    小题1:London is the capital of _________, which began as a __________ settlement.

    Birds don’t need lessons in building nests. Fish don’t need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. They’re born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.
    But instincts and training aren’t the only keys to animals’ behavior. Scientists say animals’ thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools!
    If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (关在笼子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language . She has learned hundreds of words!
    Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. “Koko love Ball,” she signed. “Soft good cat.” One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing “You bad dirty toilet!” When her pet died, Koko cried. “Sad for sleeping cat,” she signed.
    Koko calls herself “fine animal gorilla”. She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions.
    “Most animals can’t use words to tell us their thoughts,” says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. “But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings.” Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says there’s even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, people watch animals in their natural environment.
    “Scientists who study animals’ natural behaviors learn how animals live and think,” Balcombe says. “That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us.”
    小题1:The underlined word “instincts” in the first paragraph probably refers to the ability that _____.
    A．animals copy their parentsB．animals learn by practicing
    C．animals are born withD．animals learn through training
