【題目】Old-fashioned carpooling (拼車) where a group of people take turns driving each other to work has always faced a resistance. In a study by ABC News, 84%of those who drive to work say that they still do it alone. 1 For example, sometimes they simply cannot find anyone to share a ride with.

2 NuRide, a company providing online carpooling service, offers daily travelers not just a web-based list of would-be carpoolers but also a way to arrange a trip online. Here’s how it works: rider seekers enter the positions where their trip will begin and end, the time they want to leave and if they’re willing to drive or just ride in someone else’s car. The website’s search engine then looks for matches and makes lists of the names of traveling companions, along with the car model and the exact time and place to meet for each trip. 3 Then they meet their car mates when it’s time to go.

4 They are required to provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address. Both need to be checked before being listed on the website.

So far, NuRide has arranged more man 50,000 rides on the website. 5

A. NuRide users aren’t riding with total strangers.

B. It has resulted in 1.4 million fewer miles driven.

C. They insisted that carpooling is just too inconvenient.

D. Now technology makes carpooling easier and more fun.

E. It is an environmentally friendly and economical way to travel.

F. Carpooling reduces travel cost, such as fuel cost and stress of driving.

G. People who want to share the ride can show their interest in joining in online.

【答案】

1C

2D

3G

4A

5B

【解析】 本文主要講述了相對(duì)于老式拼車的不方便,現(xiàn)在的網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)使得拼車更容易和更有趣。NuRide公司,提供網(wǎng)上拼車服務(wù)在線安排,滿足所需,并且是實(shí)名制,安全放心。

1C

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由空前的內(nèi)容: 84%的開車上班的人說他們?nèi)匀华?dú)自開車,及空后內(nèi)容:比如有時(shí)他們根本找不到人拼車。再分析七個(gè)選項(xiàng)可以推斷出拼車因?yàn)椴环矫,?/span>C項(xiàng)符合。

2D

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知,有一NuRide的公司,提供網(wǎng)上拼車服務(wù),在線安排,方便拼車又有趣。分析七個(gè)選項(xiàng)可推斷現(xiàn)代的技術(shù)讓拼車很方便,故D符合題意。

3G

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本空的上文主要列舉出拼車的流程,由此可推斷出想拼車的人可能會(huì)對(duì)此感興趣。故通過分析可知G符合題意。

4A

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)本空后面“They are required to provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address, Both need to be checked before being listed on the website.”可知要求提供雇主的名字和工作電子郵件地址并接受檢查,可知都是經(jīng)過登記檢查的,而不能讓陌生人搭乘,故A符合本空。故選A。

5B

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本空前內(nèi)容:到目前為止,NuRide users已經(jīng)有更多的人搭乘超過50.000次。通過分析剩下的三個(gè)選項(xiàng),可知B. It has resulted in 1.4 million fewer miles driven減少了140萬英里的行駛.E項(xiàng)It is an environmentally friendly and economical way to travel.這是一種環(huán)保和經(jīng)濟(jì)的旅行方式。F. Carpooling reduces travel cost, such as fuel cost and stress of driving. 拼車降低出行成本,如驅(qū)動(dòng)燃料成本和應(yīng)力。而NuRide提供的主要是人們?yōu)榱斯ぷ鞫峁┑摹?/span>offers daily travelers”,所以B更為合適。故選B。

The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1)How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?
● Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
● Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes at least twice a day.
2)How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?
● Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number doctors recommend.
● Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3)How often do you think about fighting germs(病菌)?
● Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.
● Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海綿) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (擠過) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (雙語的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I'm not out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I'm not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different music, different places, and different fashion. I can't understand these people who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (適應(yīng)) different cultures and places. I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so different makes it hard to know who you are. I'm not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
(1)When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A.upset
B.strange
C.normal
D.different
(2)When the author returns to America, _____.
A.she makes more friends
B.she becomes more polite
C.she can't find what she needs
D.she is like a fish out of water
(3)The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A.reasons
B.problems
C.advantages
D.suggestions
(4)In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A.her different lifestyles
B.a kind of culture shock
C.a feeling of loneliness
D.her ability to face difficulties

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
On a Sunday morning, I was driving down a road and saw something I couldn't believe. A little girl, less than two, was pushing her stroller (嬰兒車) across the road. It was Sunday morning and traffic was not heavy.
I stopped my car at once and ran toward her. This little girl knew enough to run from a stranger. I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road.
Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car. He ran right to her and caught her up, saying “bad girl” to her. I picked up the stroller and gave it to him. The father grabbed the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.
I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son. My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes. “Do you feel cold, Mom?” asked my son. I just shook my head.
After this happened, I thought about how thankful I am. Even though the father didn't say thank you, I feel that I did something good. Doing something for someone else is pleasing, even when it's only a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
I didn't really “save” her, but I feel like it was important that I happened to be there. It is sad that I was the only one who stopped. It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to help.
(1)When the author saw the little girl, ________.
A.the girl had lost her way
B.she was driving to work in a hurry
C.the girl feared to go across the road
D.there weren't many cars on the road
(2)The little girl ran away from the author because ________.
A.she wanted to stay on the road
B.she didn't know the author at all
C.she wanted to look for her father
D.she needed to catch her stroller
(3)The author thought that her help was ________.
A.really necessary
B.worth praising
C.not welcome
D.not useful
(4)What can we learn from the passage?
A.The girl's father didn't like the girl at all.
B.The girl's father had wanted to thank the author.
C.The author shared her experience with her son.
D.The author felt sad that no one else helped the girl.
