题目列表(包括答案和解析)

In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.
Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.
After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.
【小题1】 Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A.Driving Classes. B.Driving Learning.

【小题2】   In America, the driver’s course mentioned above _____.
A.is considered as part of the advanced education

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Whenever you are using the computer, your eyes are hard at work. Be kind to them by positioning the monitor 18 to 20 inches away from your face.    

Position the screen at your eye level, with the top of the monitor itself level with your forehead. This will keep you from having to lean your neck back or forward to see the monitor.      They can help you raise the monitor a little higher by putting a few books under it. They can also raise the height of the chair or you can sit on a pillow or two.

Here is a good piece of advice:     . Even if you don’t have to go to the bathroom, be sure to take breaks. Kids shouldn’t sit at a computer for more than 30 minutes without a break.

When it’s time for a break, start with the eyes.   . This can give your eyes a rest from all that focusing on the computer monitor.

  Try to move your muscles. Go for a walk or dance in front of the mirror. Doctors advise only one or two hours of screen time per day, which includes TV, the computer and computer games. Make computer time just one of the activities you do instead of the only thing you do. Your body will thank you forever!

A. Never play computer games too long.

B. Your mom or dad can help you get adjusted.

C. Then you’ll want to give your body a break, too.

D. Focus on something far away by looking out of a window.

E. Leaning your neck back or forward too long will cause pain and damage.

F. At this distance, you shouldn’t have to lean in to read what’s on the screen.

G. Don’t get so involved in the computer that you forget to go to the bathroom.

BEIJING, Jan. 11(Xinhuanet)-- Sleeping a little bit longer a day might help fight against obesity(肥胖), a recent study shows. The research-- published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research-- after comparing people of normal weight- a body mass index of less than 25- with those who were overweight or obese , found that sleeping for an extra 20 minutes each night could offer a pain-free way to lose weight.

Insufficient sleep is linked with changes in hormone levels that may stimulate(刺激)appetite. A series of studies in recent months have shown that the less people sleep, the heavier they tend to be.

American researcher Robert Vorona from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk and colleagues have now examined the relationship between people's self-reported sleep time per 24 hours and their body mass index(BMI). They found that total sleep time and BMI were inversely correlated was total sleep time decreased, BMI increased, except in the severely obese group." Americans experience insufficient sleep and corpulent bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of obesity on patients," the study said. "Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index," it added. "We warn that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and obesity (but) investigations demonstrating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to establish such a relationship."

In November 2004, researchers from Columbia University in New York City, New York demonstrated a clear link between the risk of being obese and hours of nightly sleep, finding that people aged 32 to 59 who slept four hours or less per night were 73% more likely to be obese than people who slept between seven and nine hours per night.

The research, which was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that____________.

sleeping for a shorter time a day might help fight agianst obesity

an extra 20 minutes’ sleep each night could offer a way to lose weight wothout pain

total sleep time and body mass index were inversely related

people aged 32 to 59 who slept four hours or less per night were 73% more likely to be obese than people who slept between seven and nine hours per night

How many research results are presented in the text?

A. Two                   B. Three             C. Four              D. Five

What does the underlined word “obses” probably mean?

A.thin                    B. fat                C. energetic          D. painful

According to the text , the author intends to tell us that _____________________.

A. Sleeping a little bit longer a day might help fight against obesity

B. insufficient sleep is linked with changes in hormone lives

C. there exists a clear link between the risk of being obeses and hours of nightly sleep

D. the less people sleep , the heavier they tend to be
