【题目】

You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutesBut now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation

The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policemanto allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediatelyFrankfurt-based IT consultantDaniel Kalliontziscame up with the idea and is raising money to put his 54(43) sticker into production

Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreenhaving set it up with key informationsuch as their phone numberThe slim design will include a sensor(传感器)thatwhen touched by a traffic policemanwill send a text message warning a driver of a possible fineThe driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphonewhich will appear on the sticker’s screen

The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a waya German lawThe law statesan officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicleIt could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car

Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar wayA spokesman said“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticketHowevera policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning

So farMrKalliontzis has raised just over 3000(2362)of his 50000(39381) goalIf he manages to raise the moneythe stickers will be shipped in June 2015But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messagesbecause anyone could touch the smart sticker

1The author wrote the third paragraph to _______________

Aexplain how a smart car sticker works

Badvise drivers to buy a car sticker

Cshow the importance of a sensor

Dtell drivers how to park a car

2We may infer from the text that in Britain _______________

Acar owners don’t have to worry about a parking ticket

Bsmart car stickers wouldn’t work as well as in Germany

Ctraffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car

Dthe Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers

3The underlined word“discretion” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“____________”

Atrouble Bpressure

Cfreedom Dopportunity

4What would be the best title for the text?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Charles Dickens (18121870), the great nineteenth century English novelist, was born near Portsmouth. His father ran heavily into debt (债) and when he was twelve, he had to go and work in a factory. The only formal education he received was a two-year schooling at a school for poor children. In fact, he had to teach himself all he knew. He worked for a time in a lawyers office. After that, he worked as a reporter in the law courts, and later for London newspapers. His life as a writer of novels began in 1833 with short stories and essays in newspapers, and in 1837 his novel The Pickwick Papers made him the most popular author at his time in England.

He was a great observer (观察者) of people and their places because he was concerned about life and conditions in mid-nineteenth century London. He wrote 19 novels all his life and in many of them, Dickens gave a picture of all classes of England society, showing deep concern for the poor.

Many of his novels like Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and so on drew attention to the unfair social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago.

【题目】When my son was about five or six, I traveled a lot on business. I worried all the time about what the absence might mean to him. I knew how important it was for a boy to have his father near. When I was small, the times I loved most were the special moments I shared with my father. I cherished these special moments and, to this day, hold those memories dear. I decided to create those kinds of special times for my son.

In one of my letters home, I promised my son that I would teach him how to fly a kite and that we could go to a nearby beach and fly it as high as it would go. Through my travels I would pick up things for our kite adventure and send them to him. In my trip to Japan, I found the most beautiful blue silk with gold threads(线)woven through it. Perfect kite materials! I sent it home with a picture book that would serve as a weight.

When I got home at night, I found him sleeping sound, surrounded by all the items I had sent him for our kite. For the next week, we started to work on our masterpiece. We had our time together in the garage, after dinner. Finally, it was finished. The blue silk made it so beautiful. He was obviously eager to fly it soon. “We’ll fly it tomorrow, right, Dad?” “Yes, if the weather is right,” I explained that we needed wind to lift the kite off the ground. I was afraid that it might rain. “We’ll fly it because I’m going to pray with all my heart for the best kite weather.” He was right. I will never underestimate(低估)the power of a child’s prayer any more.

My son is a dad now, with children of his own. Though we are both busy, we still try to make time for each other. The other day, we met for coffee. While paying for our coffee, his wallet dropped on the ground and something fell out. Suddenly, a flood of memories washed over us as he put back his treasure into wallet—the blue silk with gold threads woven through it.

A. kept B. celebrated C. valued D. spent

2Which of the following did the author think was important to a child?

A. Giving special gifts. B. Spending time together.

C. Sending emails during the trip. D. Teaching a special skill.

3What did the author buy in his trips?

A. Kite materials. B. Travel books. C. Foreign kites. D. Picture books.

4What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. People enjoy each other’s company.

B. Men have the habit of keeping family gifts.

C. Parents should take good care of their kids.

One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard and no fixed seats.

Gathered at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as much English words and sentence as possible there. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class wouldburstinto the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.
