第一节：短文改错

 I used to going to the countryside to draw animals and plants. One day I was walking across a field look for rabbits to draw. Losing in thought, I hadn’t noticed a bull to running towards me. About 100 meters ahead was a tree under that I would sit and draw. Suddenly, I heard the noise behind me. I turned and saw the bull. Knowing a bull can run more faster than a man, I quickly reached the tree and climb up. From there I saw the bull kicking my food bag by its feet. It kept done this for 15 minutes and moved away. But I was quite nervous in the tree.

　 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you know how to be street smart? Being street smart means knowing how to keep yourself safe from strangers when you’re alone or with other kids. 　 71　

Most strangers aren’t dangerous and wouldn’t do anything to hurt kids. Unfortunately, though, some strangers can be dangerous, and it’s impossible to tell who’s OK and who’s not.　 72　

That’s why it’s important to follow these safety rules all the time:

Make your whereabouts（在哪里）known.

The adults who’s taking care of you needs to know where you are and when you’ll be coming home.

73　

It’s more fun and safer to do things with friends. Traveling with a friend whenever you can is a good idea, and traveling with a group of kids is even better.

　 74　

Safe spots are places where you can stop if you need help. Like the houses of kids you know, the houses of your parents’ friends, police stations, libraries, and fire departments. When you’re walking or riding your bike, make a mental note of the safe spots along your route. That way, you’ll know where they are in case you ever need one.

75　

You’re probably been told lots of times that you should not yell and keep quiet. But when you think you might be in danger, it’s the perfect time to be noisy! If a stranger approaches you, follows you or tries to grab you, yell as loudly as you can and try to get away. People in the area will hear what’s going on and help you, so make plenty of noise.

A.　　 Stick with a friend.

B.　　 Pick out safe spots.

C.　　 It helps you stay safe.

D.　　 Shout “help” when necessary.

E.　　 Go to school with your friends.

F.　　 Make a lot of noise if you are scared.

G.　　 A dangerous person doesn’t necessarily look scary.

　 In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later, I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
　　　 My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
　　　 Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic -- and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
　　　 You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo -- a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
　　　 The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
　　　 In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
　　　 I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

　 　 I got my first driver's license (执照) in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver's license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. "Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you." he said.
　　　 I argued, pointing to a very large belly (肚子) of mine, "I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?" He answered coldly, "It's the law, madam?"
　　　 Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. "No," I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
　　　 I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail — using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland and I had to take the Maryland driver's exam.
