The cars were honking (鸣叫) on the road one morning as I was walking to the park. I walked on and soon found the cause — a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the driver's face as he tried to start the engine again and again — nothing happened. "No petrol,"

I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. "Why doesn't the fool move his taxi to the side?" I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted.

He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who watched the driver try to push it to the side. "Stupid guy!" I said. "Can't he lend a helping hand? "

I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂 ) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off.

The taxi driver began mending his taxi. "Stupid passenger!" I said to him. "He didn't help you!" The taxi driver slowly got up. "Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"

What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? I’d done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, "Sir! Did you?"

1. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?

A. There was too much traffic in the street.

B. Truck drivers attempted to go ahead of others.

C. A taxi driver couldn't start his engine.

D. A young man wasn't good at driving.

2.The author's attitude toward the passenger is that of __________.

A. anger   B. respect   C. sympathy    D. guilt

3.Why did the author feel guilty?

A. Because he blamed the driver wrongly.

B. Because he didn't help the driver, either.

C. Because he tried to help but failed in the end.

D. Because he didn't persuade the passenger to help.

4. From the incident, the author learnt a lesson that we should _________.

A. criticize those who don't help

B. hurt the self-respect of others no more

C. think more of those who are in need

D. stop talking and start to help

 

1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D 【解析】 试题分析: 本文是一则故事,讲述了作者目睹一次交通堵塞,主要原因是一位出租车司机的车没油停在了路中间,作者一直在心里说这个司机笨,也谴责车上的乘客不帮助该司机,最后“笨”司机的一句你为什么也不帮我呢,让作者很惭愧。 1.C细节理解题。根据第一段I walked on and soon found the cause — a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the driver's face as he tried to start the engine again and again — nothing happened. "No petrol,"可知交通堵塞的原因是一位出租车由于没油停在在路中间。故选C项; 2.A推理题。根据第三段"Stupid guy!" I said. "Can't he lend a helping hand? "可知作者责怪乘客笨,没有帮助司机去推车,说明作者对司机的态度是生气,而B尊重,C同情,怜悯,D内疚,负罪感。故选A; 3.B推理题。根据倒数第二段Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"可推断出作者感到内疚的原因是他在责怪自己也没帮助出租车司机。故选B项; 4.D主旨大意题。根据最后一段我们不能得出,作者从此次事件当中吸取的教训是“不要只说不做”。故选A项; 考点:故事类阅读。

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.

Should e­cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e­cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47 percent believe the e­cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.

“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,e­cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.

About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e­cigarettes,which are battery­powered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet,e­cigarettes were first made in China.

Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e­cigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e­cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.

Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e­cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e­cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying e­cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A.American smokers ought to try e­cigarettes.

B.Americans have different opinions about e­cigarettes.

C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.

D.Most of the Americans don’t like e­cigarettes.

2.According to Zogby International,e­cigarettes ________.

A.are much safer than common cigarettes

B.are popular among people who want to quit smoking

C.will take the place of traditional cigarettes

D.are produced in a safer way by manufacturers

3.What do we know about e­cigarettes from the passage?

A.Most Americans are familiar with them.

B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.

C.They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.

D.Most people buy them on the Internet.

4.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e­cigarettes?

A.Negative.      B.Supportive.

C.Doubtful.     D.Indifferent.

5.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A.People can smoke e­cigarettes in places where smoking is forbidden.

B.Most women agree that e­cigarettes should be available to smokers.

C.Young adults and singles are the main groups who agree to try e­cigarettes.

D.The problem of smoking is becoming worse around the world.

When it comes to social behaviour,mammals are in a league of their own. Some birds may form pairs,or even cooperate to hunt,but the complexity (复杂性) of their relationships can hardly compare to those within a school of dolphins,a herd of elephants or a group of humans. What makes mammalian social groups different from a flock of starlings or a shoal of fish,is that in many cases the individuals could recognize each other. Although we may think that all elephants look pretty much the same,we can easily tell individuals of our own species apart and it has become clear through studies that the same is true of other species. Dolphins have their own signature whistles that act like “names”,and elephants can recognize and greet other individuals they have known but not seen for many years. This is something that only a few species of birds appear to be able to do.

Mammals in complex social groups not only recognize each other as individuals,but also they remember a lot of information about that individual. Social groups often rely on this memory—such as knowing who is dominant to whom,who is related to whom,and who has done what to whom in the past. It’s like remembering who you have lent money to or done a favour for,and who hasn’t repaid that money or has talked about you behind your back. You have to learn who to trust,who your friends are,and who to watch out for.

All this remembering goes on in a particular part of the brain called the neocortex (大脑皮层).If you compare the size of a mammal’s social group with the size of this part of the brain,you will find they are remarkably closely related. This area seems to take a long time to develop fully and animals in which it is very large take a very long time to grow up to adulthood. During this time,the youngster has to learn all the rules of social behaviour in their group and to piece together all the relationships between the group members:Knowledge that will be needed to avoid getting into trouble.

1.What is special about a mammalian social group according to the passage?

A.All the individuals cooperate to hunt.

B.The individuals can communicate with each other.

C.The individuals can recognize each other.

D.The individuals form closer relationship.

2.The passage suggests that elephants________.

A.are cleverer than dolphins

B.can recognize other species

C.may mistake a member for another

D.have good memories

3.Animals whose area of the neocortex is large________.

A.will have a long period of time before they become adults

B.will spend a shorter time learning the necessary knowledge

C.will learn the necessary knowledge much more easily

D.will have more difficulty in growing up as adults

4.If the neocortex is larger,the animals________.

A.can live a longer life

B.have a smaller social group

C.have a larger social group

D.have a greater body size

5.In order to make his/her point clear,the author use the means of________.

A.analyzing cause and effect

B.making comparisons

C.giving wonderful examples

D.providing different figures
