With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams (堵车) are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.

Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.

Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.

Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.

__________ Most traffic jams usually occur(发生) during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.

Use public transport instead. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money.

1.The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. hard to accept                      B. impossible to avoid

C. getting less serious               D. seen everywhere

2.The writer wrote the text in order to ______.

A. explain why there are traffic jams

B. tell us how to save time on the road

C. tell us what we can do on the road

D. tell us the negative(消极的) effects of traffic jams

3.To get the latest traffic information, you could do the following EXCEPT ______.

A. surfing the Internet

B. listening to the radio for traffic news

C. listening to the traffic channel

D. turning to other drivers for information

4.Which of the following can be put in the blank(空白处) in the text?

A. Choose a job that has flexible working hours

B. Make friends with your manager

C. Try traveling at different time

D. Work from home

5.According to the writer, we should use public transport because __________.

D. it is completely free from traffic jams

 

1.B 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.A 【解析】 试题分析:作者写这篇文章是告诉我们现在的交通状况很差,交通拥挤是“不可避免的”,但是作者给我们一些建议如何减少在路上的时间。 1.B推理题:根据第一段中“Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether”可知交通拥挤是“不可避免的”。故选B。 2.B推理题:根据第一段中“there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road”可知作者写这篇文章是告诉我们一些建议怎样减少在路上的时间。故选B。 3.D推理题:根据第二段中“You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic”你可以收听交通新闻广播,或上网查询即时交通信息和第四段中“Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel”在你的汽车上安装收音机接收交通公告。许多新车的音响配有无线电系统,你可以收听到交通频道。由此可知文中提到A、B、C三项,只有D项没有提到。故选D。 4.C推理题:根据后面“Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible.”可知是选个不同的时间。故选C。 5.A细节题:根据最后一段中“The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car.”避免交通拥堵的最简便方法乘坐公共交通工具,故选A。 考点:考查日常生活类阅读

Do you believe that you aren’t smarter than 3-year-old Alexis Martin, one of the youngest members of the high IQ club Mensa? Preschooler (学龄前的) Alexis’s IQ is 159, which is only one point lower than Stephen Hawking’s. Doctors say the average IQ of a person is about 100.

She learned to read at the age of 2. She reads at a fifth grade level and has taught herself Spanish on her parents iPad! Now, she is a member of the Mensa Club, which only accepts people with an IQ within the top two per cent of people in the world!

Alexis father, Ian Martin, said he first realized Alexis was special when she was 12 months old. She could recite (背诵) bedtime stories. “We’d be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime stories from the night before. She didn’t just recite them, and she recited them exactly.”Alexis father would try to trick her and say that her story went a different way, but she always corrected him. Most 12-month-old children take their first steps on their own and most 18-month-olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two-step questions.

Even though Alexis is a genius (天才), her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.

“Will she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant (迟疑的) because we do want her to get to that social world,” Ian said.
