Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (车的行李箱).
Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (喇叭) and hammering（捶打） on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（松开螺丝） the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the things from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手） and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (攀爬) clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” “Only the tips （尖部）of the car wheels were visible，”police said last night. “The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”

Buying green can produce great benefits and so can small changes in your driving behavior. 【1】

1. Avoid aggressive driving. Sudden starts and aggressive driving can waste your gas. 【2】 That’s because just one second of high-powered driving can produce the same level of CO as 30 minutes of normal driving.

2. 【3】 A lot of us like to push the speedometer up to 75 miles per hour on the highway. However, slowing down to 65 miles per hour can increase your fuel economy by up to 10 percent and reduce the amount of pollution coming from your car.

3. Plan ahead. When possible, plan your trips to avoid the stop-and-go of rush hour. And remember to pack all of your tasks into one trip since a warmed-up engine produces fewer emissions (排放物).

4. Pay attention at the gas station. Don’t overfill your gas tank or try to top it off because spilled (溢出) gas changes into mixture of fog and smoke and can pollute groundwater. When you are finished filling up, be sure you tighten your gas cap. 【4】

5. Park smart. Parking your car in the shade not only helps you avoid feeling very hot in your car, but it helps minimize evaporation (蒸发) of fuel.

6. 【5】 By walking, cycling or public transport, you will make a big difference for our planet. Leave your car at home just two days a week. And you will help cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,500 pounds a year.

A. Change the oil.

B. Slow down.

C. Leave your car at home.

D. And this type of driving behavior adds to pollution.

E. In this way you can save as much as 30 gallons a year.

F. The following advice can help you save gas and contribute to the well-being of our planet.

G. Parking in your garage when possible to cut down on summer heat and keep off frost in the winter.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Dolphins (海豚) live in a dark underwater world. It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.
Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists haven't uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins — and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.
Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they can't always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when they're a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.
What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.
When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.
Deciphering(破译) dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a name for people. Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.
（1）Sound is important for dolphins because of ________.
A.their poor sense of direction
B.their living environment
C.their strong enemies
D.their big groups
（2）The dolphin's signature whistle ________.
A.lasts a long time
B.can travel long distances
C.is especially helpful in hunting
D.can be recognized by other animals
（3）The author writes the text mainly to ________.
A.encourage readers to study dolphins
B.tell readers how dolphins communicate
C.show how lovely and clever dolphins are
D.introduce a special sound made by dolphins
（4）A baby dolphin gets its name ________.
A.soon after it was born
B.according to its size
C.all by itself
D.with the help of its group

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
（1）The passage mainly talks about ________.
A.traffic jams
B.good manners
C.road politeness
D.modern drivers
（2）Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.
A.traffic jams
B.the behavior of the drivers
C.the great speed of modern life
D.terrible road conditions
（3）According to the writer, a good driver should ________.
A.encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to
B.beat back when forced to face rude driving
C.be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
D.join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel
（4）It is not always right for drivers to ________.
A.master the roadmanship
B.neglect politeness when they see it
C.give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D.encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪审团), and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincoln’s stories were irrelevant and distracting (转移、分心) to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincoln’s jokes more than anyone else in the court room.

As a politician, Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “Nothing else — not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions — disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincoln’s saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.

As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincoln’s neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “What’s the matter, Mr. Lincoln?” the neighbor asked. “The same thing that’s the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln answered. “I have three walnuts, and each one of them wants two of them.”

One cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience and relieving the pressure he experienced as President during the terrible Civil War.

【1】When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?

A. He wanted to satisfy the judge’s desire for jokes.

B. He wanted to distract his opposing lawyer.

C. He wanted to relieve his pressure.

D. He wanted to impress the jury.

【2】What might be Douglas’ attitude towards Lincoln’s humorous stories?

A. Appreciative. B. Annoyed.

C. Concerned. D. Surprised.

【3】What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To educate. B. To inform.

C. To persuade. D. To entertain.

【题目】The patient insisted that he ________ ill and ________ to the hospital.
A.wasn't, wasn't sent
B.wasn't, shouldn't be sent
C.shouldn't be, wasn't sent
D.shouldn't be, shouldn't be sent
