　　For 30 years, Randy J. Murphy drove without being stopped by the police—and without a driver’s license.

　　The 46-year-old man’s luck came to an end last May. On his way home from his job as a dishwasher, he turned up the radio in the car.

　　“I just turned the corner, and there was Mark,” Murphy said of the police officer who has since made such a difference in his life.

　　Officer Mark Taylor had stopped the car as he heard the blaring music. When he asked for a driver’s license, Murphy said that he didn’t have one.

　　Murphy told Taylor he couldn’t read well enough to take the written part of the licensing test. “He said people just don’t help any more. I told him if he was willing, I’d help him, ” said Taylor. He gave Murphy his phone number. That afternoon Murphy called the officer.

　　For the next three months, the men met several times a week to review the questions which might appear in the test. When Murphy took the test, Taylor went with him. Murphy passed on his sixth attempt. He then sailed through the road test. On September 5, he got his license.

　　Taylor’s act of kindness won him the Officer of the Month award from Knoxville Police Department. “People should help each other if they can, ”Taylor said. “Randy did all the work. I just guided him along. ”

　　Although Murphy has overcome the difficulty that kept him from getting a driver’s license, he hasn’t stopped there. “We still meet once a week to read, ”Taylor said. “We’ve also become friends. ”

　　“I m glad he pulled me over now, ”said Murphy.

　　1．Why did Taylor stop Murphy’s car one day?

　　A．The music in his car was too loud.

　　B．He drove without a driving license.

　　C．He made a wrong turn at a comer.

　　D．He listened to the radio while driving.

　　2．After learning Murphy’s situation, Taylor decided________.

　　A．to put an end to his luck

　　B．to help him learn how to read

　　C．to take away his driving license.

　　D．to stop him from doing silly things

　　3．The underlined phrase” sailed through” in the passage is close in meaning to________.

　　A．tried his best in

　　B．nearly failed in

　　C．suffered a lot in

　　D．easily succeeded in

　　4．According to the passage, Taylor helped Murphy pass the licensing test because________.

　　A．he felt sorry for the bad situation of the workers

　　B．he wanted to win the Officer of the Month award

　　C．he hated to see people in need of help were not helped

　　D．he thought it was a policeman’s duty to help people read

答案：A;B;D;C
解析：

1．A 原文中Officer Mark Taylor had stopped the car as he heard the blaring music．判断选择A。

　　2．B 原文中“I told him if he was willing，I’d help him，”said Taylor．说明他要帮助Murphy。

　　3．D 原文中划线词后面he got his license可以判断，Murphy拿到了驾照，故判断sailed through是D很轻松的通过的意思。

　　4．C 原文中“People should help each other if they can，”Taylor said．可以判断选择C。选项ABD在原文中都没有显示。

　　Saying in great, comfortable lodgings(租房)while on a summer vacation doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to spend a lot of money．

　　So if you want to stay in a decent hotel for your summer vacation, but you are on a tight budget, then here are some tips for you to follow：

　　●If you are heading for a big city, stay over on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights．In cities attracting a lot of business clients, many local hotels lower their weekend rates．You may be able to bargain for a good price at a four-star hotel in a city during the weekend if the hotel isn’t full．Check out websites such as priceline．com, which offer discounts on hotels．

　　●Find accommodations that are an extra 10 minutes or so from the nearest tourist attraction．Close-by hotels, resorts and inns usually cost more than those further away．Lodging on the outskirts can be as much as 25 percent to 30 percent lower．

　　●Book very late or very early．The further you book the better deal you can get．But ________, you can also get a discount．

　　●Compare services．Hotel X may have a higher price tag per room than Hotel Y, but you may be better off staying at the former．That all depends on the type of free services you get．Check to see if the hotel serves free breakfasts and offers free transportation services to tourist spots．

　　Lastly, for those who want to swap apartments or do time shares, there are plenty of sites that can be checked out．For swapping, there is homeexchange．com, which has an annual membership fee of ＄49.95 and gives you access to more than 6000 listings of homes worldwide．

阅读理解，阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization．When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now．I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I'd still be living in almost 30 years later．

　　It seemed ridiculous．On a practical level, there's no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon．More importantly, I wouldn't want to．I'm not sure where I'll be living in two years, or what kind of job I'll have．And I don't think I'll be ready to settle down and stay in one place．

　　So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents．When our parents were our age, they'd gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives．

　　My friends and I-“Generation Y”-still aren't sure what we want to do with our lives．Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it．We'd rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place．We'd rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account．

　　This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”．Some of these complaints have a point．As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun．We grew up in a world full of technological innovation：cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games．

　　Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)-starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company．That doesn't apply to my generation．

　　Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood．But that's not necessarily a bad thing．In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did．

　　By Ariel Lewiton
