But many see this as only a small victory. An Internet user wrote, “This is just the first step; there is much more to be done.” Should animals perform? In the zoo, Molly learnt many things.

This death rate (率) was lower than that of any other country. So what did British drivers do to achieve this? British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue (队伍) of traffic, then don’t try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn, or people may get angry with you. You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn’t any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this. If another driver flashes (闪烁) his car’s lights at you he is probably trying to tell you that he will let you go first. British people don’t like to use their car horn (喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude. If you get in an accident, don’t try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you will be put into a British prison (监狱). No wonder British roads can be called some of the safest in the world. If each driver around the world can follow the traffic rules as strictly as British drivers do, fewer traffic accidents will take place. 9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The low traffic accident death rate in the UK. B. The best driving skills among British drivers. C. The improvement in traffic rules in the UK. D. The high number of traffic accidents in the UK. 10. According to the text, traffic rules in the UK include ________. ① waiting patiently in the queue ② stopping at the red light. ③ using flashes instead of car horn ④ offering money to the police if necessary A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 11. What might be the main reason for the few traffic accidents in the UK? A. There aren’t many drivers in the UK. B. British drivers follow the traffic rules strictly. C. The number of traffic police is large on British roads. D. High technology is used in British transportation. 12. How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1... ) A. B. C. D. 【答案】9. A 10. A 11. B 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国极低的交通事故死亡率，详细阐述了英国司机在遵守交通规则方面的具体做法，并指出这是英国道路安全的主要原因。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“A study in 2018 found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This death rate (率) was lower than that of any other country. So what did British drivers do to achieve this?”可知，前文提到英国的交通事故死亡率极低（每10万人中只有3.8人死亡），低于其他任何国家。“this”指代的就是这一“低交通事故死亡率”的现象或事实。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You must wait for your turn…”可知，要在队伍中耐心等待；根据“You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red.”可知，红灯时必须停车；根据“British people don’t like to use their car horn (喇叭) much…”以及“If another driver flashes (闪烁)…he is probably trying to tell you that he will let you go first.”可知，他们倾向于用闪灯代替鸣笛来沟通；根据“The police in the UK never take money…”可知，不能给警察钱。综上，①②③是文中提到的交通规则。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If each driver around the world can follow the traffic rules as strictly as British drivers do, fewer traffic accidents will take place.”可知，如果全世界的司机都能像英国司机那样严格遵守交通规则，交通事故就会减少。这反过来暗示了英国交通事故少的主要原因是司机们严格遵守交通规则。故选B。 【12题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段提出英国交通事故死亡率低这一现象；第二段至第五段分别从排队、红灯、沟通方式、不贿赂警察四个方面详细阐述了英国司机的做法；第六段总结全文，指出严格遵守规则是关键。因此，文章结构为“总—分—总”形式。故选C。 D There was once a 63-year-old woman. She was small and thin, with a slightly hunched (弓起的) back. She walked all the way from New York City to Miami, Florida. It was a long and unimaginable (不可想象的) journey for most people.

When she was young, she was busy taking care of her family. She missed many beautiful moments in life. Her husband passed away early, and her children seldom visited her.

The reporter wondered whether the unknown fears, tiredness and difficult environment during the hard journey had ever worried her. And how did she get the courage (勇气) to keep going on such a long journey? The old woman smiled, with a twinkle in her eyes. “Taking one step doesn’t need courage. That’s what I did.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位63岁的老妇人为了弥补年轻时的遗憾，独自徒步从纽约走到迈阿密的故事。她通过一步一个脚印的坚持，告诉我们只要开始行动，任何艰难的旅程都能完成。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The old woman started the journey because her life was filled with regrets (遗憾).”可知，老妇人开始这次长途旅行是因为她的人生充满了遗憾，她想要去弥补这些遗憾。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Miami was one of those places. She and her husband had once promised to go to see the sea there together.”可知，迈阿密是她想去的地方之一，而且她和丈夫曾经约定一起去那里看海。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“how did she get the courage (勇气) to keep going on such a long journey?”可知，记者对老妇人如何获得勇气坚持走完这么长的路感到好奇，这暗示在记者眼中，老妇人完成了如此艰难的旅程，是非常坚强和勇敢的。故选C。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Taking one step doesn’t need courage. That’s what I did. I took one step first, then another, and then another, and here I am.”可知，老妇人用自己的行动证明了：只要迈出第一步并坚持下去，就能到达目的地。这告诉我们要付诸行动。选项A“采取行动很重要。”最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Eye contact Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes.

This is true in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. Most young people, especially educated (受过良好教育的) women, have a different idea about children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me.” said Linda, a doctor from Russia. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years.” said Sally from England. Her idea is typical (典型) in Europe. In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of young people are leaving the country to work in foreign countries. Poland joined the European Union in 2004 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down. Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women can receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child. 41. Does the population in all areas of the world keep on increasing? _________________________________________________________ 42. What is Sally’s idea about having children? _________________________________________________________ 43.

Flood May Happen at Any Time B Many animal activists (活动人士) became very angry after seeing worrying pictures and videos of an elephant called Molly. They wanted to save her. Molly is an Asian elephant. She was born in 2016. Everyone liked her and called her Little Princess. But three years later, she was separated from her mother and sent to live in another zoo. At her new home, Molly was trained to perform (表演) for tourists. To save Molly, Internet users joined the project “Save Molly” on some social media platforms (平台). Finally, zookeepers returned Molly to her original home, which had better living conditions. But many see this as only a small victory. An Internet user wrote, “This is just the first step; there is much more to be done.” Should animals perform? In the zoo, Molly learnt many things. But she was unhappy. These skills are not necessary for an elephant. She learnt these things to perform for tourists. Have you ever watched animal performances? The lights and noises during a performance make them nervous. Their cages are small and dirty. The animals often live shorter lives than in the wild. Now, some countries ban (禁止) wild animal performances. Do we really need zoos? 5. Why did many animal activists become very angry? A. The elephant called Molly was in danger. B. They saw some worrying pictures and videos of Molly. C. Animals didn’t perform well if they didn’t get food. D. Molly had to live in another zoo. 6. How did Internet users join the project “Save Molly”? A. They returned Molly to her original home in Kunming. B. They provided the elephant with enough food and water. C They raised some money for Molly by running a long way. D. They made use of some social media platforms. 7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Animals often live shorter lives in the zoo than in the wild. B. Molly was happy to live in a better place and learn to perform. C. Molly had lived in another zoo for five years. D. Molly learnt different things to make herself happy. 8. Why did the writer end the passage with a question? A To ask for advice. B. To let people answer. C. To start another topic. D. To show his or her idea. C A study in 2018 found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This death rate (率) was lower than that of any other country. So what did British drivers do to achieve this? British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue (队伍) of traffic, then don’t try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn, or people may get angry with you. You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn’t any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this. If another driver flashes (闪烁) his car’s lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will let you go first. British people don’t like to use their car horn (喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude. If you get in an accident, don’t try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you will be put into a British prison (监狱). No wonder British roads can be called some of the safest in the world. If each driver around the world can follow the traffic rules as strictly as British drivers do, fewer traffic accidents will take place. 9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The low traffic accident death rate in the UK. B. The best driving skills among British drivers. C. The improvement in traffic rules in the UK. D. The high number of traffic accidents in the UK. 10. According to the text, traffic rules in the UK include ________. ① waiting patiently in the queue ② stopping at the red light. ③ using flashes instead of car horn ④ offering money to the police if necessary A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 11. What might be the main reason for the few traffic accidents in the UK? A. There aren’t many drivers in the UK. B. British drivers follow the traffic rules strictly. C. The number of traffic police is large on British roads. D. High technology is used in British transportation. 12. How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1... ) A. B. C. D. D There was once a 63-year-old woman. She was small and thin, with a slightly hunched (弓起的) back. She walked all the way from New York City to Miami, Florida. It was a long and unimaginable (不可想象的) journey for most people. Every step took great effort (努力), but she kept going and made it. The old woman started the journey because her life was filled with regrets (遗憾). When she was young, she was busy taking care of her family. She missed many beautiful moments in life. Her husband passed away early, and her children seldom visited her. During the lonely years, she thought about the places she wanted to visit when she was young but never did. Miami was one of those places. She and her husband had once promised to go to see the sea there together. When she turned 63, she realized that if she didn’t go now, there might never be another chance. In Miami, a curious reporter interviewed (采访) her. Although she looked tired, her eyes were bright. The reporter wondered whether the unknown fears, tiredness and difficult environment during the hard journey had ever worried her. And how did she get the courage (勇气) to keep going on such a long journey? The old woman smiled, with a twinkle in her eyes. “Taking one step doesn’t need courage. That’s what I did. I took one step first, then another, and then another, and here I am.” 13. The 63-year-old woman started her long journey to ________. A. break a world record B. make up for her regrets C. look for a new place to live D. visit her children in Miami 14. Why did she choose to go to Miami? A. She planned to talk to a reporter there. B. She once lived there at an early age. C. She wanted to celebrate her birthday there. D. She and her husband once wanted to go there. 15. According to Paragraph 3, what might the reporter think of the old woman? A. Busy and kind. B. Lonely and sad. C. Strong and brave. D. Worried and regretful. 16. What can we learn from the old woman? A. It is important to take action. B. No journey is easy for old people. C. It’s never too late to learn new things. D. Courage sometimes can have little use. 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Eye contact Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. This is a very important part of body language.

This is true in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. Most young people, especially educated (受过良好教育的) women, have a different idea about children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me.” said Linda, a doctor from Russia. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years.” said Sally from England. Her idea is typical (典型) in Europe. In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of young people are leaving the country to work in foreign countries. Poland joined the European Union in 2004 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down. Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women can receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child. 41. Does the population in all areas of the world keep on increasing? _________________________________________________________ 42. What is Sally’s idea about having children? _________________________________________________________ 43.
