Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a ____ of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However,if anyone asked me how fast I was ____,I'd say I was not overspeeding. Several times I got ____ behind a slowmoving truck on a narrow road,and I was holding my fists tightly with ____.

At one point along an open highway,I ____ a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,but as I ____ the light,it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing. No cars,no suggestion of headlights,but there I sat,waiting for the light to ____,the only human being for at least a mile in any ____.

I started ____ why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being ____,because there was obviously no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no ____ in going through it.

Much later that night,after I ____ a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight,the question of why I'd stopped for that light ____ me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It's not only the ____,but it's an arrangement we have,and we trust each other to ____ it:we don't go through red lights. Like most of us,I'm more likely to be ____ from doing something bad by the social convention that ____ it than by any law against it.

【解析】語篇解讀作者遲到了,開著車匆匆忙忙地趕往目的地,但在經(jīng)過一個四周無人的十字路口時,他卻沒有闖紅燈。之后,作者對自己的這一行為進行了一番思考……

【1】 Harrisburg和Lewisburg兩個地方之間的“距離(distance)”大約是八十英里。D項表示“長度”,語意不恰當。

【2】 本段開頭部分提到作者當時開車行駛在兩地之間,所以此處描述的是“開車”的速度。

【3】 在一條狹窄的道路上,作者好幾次被前面的一輛行駛緩慢的卡車“困住”了,即無法超車。

【4】 根據(jù)本段第二句中的內(nèi)容可知作者當時急于趕路,所以非!安荒蜔┑亍蔽站o了拳頭。

【5】 在一條開闊的公路上,作者“來到(came to)”了一個有交通燈的十字路口。

【6】 當作者“靠近(approached)”交通燈時,燈變成了紅色,作者于是踩了剎車。

【7】 作者坐在那里,一直等待著交通燈“變成”綠色以便通行。

【8】 上文提到作者環(huán)顧左右和后面,但是空無一人,由此可知作者是至少一英里之內(nèi)任何一個“方向”中唯一的一個人。

【9】 雖然當時四周沒有一個人,可是作者沒有闖紅燈,作者開始“琢磨”自己這樣做的原因。后三項分別表示“懷疑”“掙扎”“遺憾”,均不符合語境。

【10】 作者不害怕被“罰款”,因為四周沒有交警。fine表示“處……以罰金”,符合語境。

【11】 由于當時周圍沒有人,闖紅燈當然不會有“危險”。

【12】 在當晚稍晚的時候,作者“遇到”了一群朋友。后三項分別表示“克服”“除掉”“回電話”,都不符合語境。

【13】 上一段的開頭部分提到作者不知道自己為什么當時沒有闖紅燈,此時作者又“回想起”這個問題。

【14】 作者認為自己之所以停下來是因為這是我們所有人彼此之間的合同的一部分,它不僅僅是“法律”,而且是我們共同的一種安排。此外,第32空后面的law也是線索提示。

【15】 我們彼此信任對方會“執(zhí)行”這種安排:我們不闖紅燈。honor表示“信守,執(zhí)行”,符合語境。

【16】 像我們中的大多數(shù)人一樣,作者更可能“停止”做被社會常規(guī)認為是不好的事情。后三項分別表示“保護”“拒絕”“害怕”,均不符合語境。

【17】 與被法律禁止的事情相比,作者更不可能做社會常規(guī)“不贊成”的事情。disapprove of“不贊成”。前三項分別表示“談及”“支持”“吸收”,均不符合語境。

【18】 我們曾經(jīng)彼此“信任”對方去做正確的事情,這非常令人驚奇。

【19】 作者強調(diào)的是彼此之間應該互相信任,這是“首先”需要做到的事情。

【20】 作者通過深思感悟到當時的行為非常正確,因此為那天晚上沒有闖紅燈感到無比“自豪”。

【題目】A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85

February 12, 2014

BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press

Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.

It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.

In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保證) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’

Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.

She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

【1】Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.

A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind

C. smart and knowledgeable D. shy and attractive

【2】Where does this passage possibly come from?

A. A biography. B. A newspaper.

C. A magazine. D. A poster.

【題目】Rachel Carson,a wellknown nature author in America,was happiest writing about the strength and stability of natural systems.Her books mainly described the inter connectedness of nature and all living things.

Completing Silent Spring took Carson four years.First published in The New Yorker in June 1962,the book alarmed readers across America.It described how DDT entered the food chain and accumulated (堆積) in the fatty tissues of animals,including human beings,and caused cancer and genetic damage.

Carson begins by describing exactly these effects in the first chapter,creating strong images and drawing the readers in.As the book continues,she gives various examples of how insecticides(殺蟲劑) are not only unsuccessful,but actually very costly and damaging.She also explains about the biological controls which are less expensive and much more efficient.

A single application on a crop,she wrote,killed insects for weeks and months,and not only the targeted insects but countless more,and remained poisonous in the environment even after it was washed out by rainwater.Carson concluded that DDT and other pesticides had definitely harmed birds and animals and had destroyed the entire world's food supply.The book's most famous chapter,A Fable for Tomorrow,described a nameless American town where all life—from fish to birds to apple blossoms to human children—had been “silenced” by the harmful effects of DDT.

The most important effect of Silent Spring,though,was a new public awareness that nature was so easily destroyed by human intervention(干預).Rachel Carson had made a brave proposal:that,at times,technological progress is so basically at odds with(與……不一致) natural processes that it must be prevented.

【1】What are Rachel Carson's books mainly concerned about?

A.The relationship between man and nature.

B.The balance of natural systems.

C.The interconnection of nature and living things.

D.The pollution of the environment.

【2】According to the text,Silent Spring________.

A.didn't draw the readers' attention when first published

B.mainly describes people's quiet lives in an American town

C.effectively tells people how to keep the balance of nature

D.showed the harmful effects of DDT on nature

【3】Rachel Carson thinks that the more efficient way to kill insects is to use ________.

A.DDT

B.human controls

C.biological controls

D.technical progress

【4】The publication of Silent Spring makes people ________.

A.understand the author's outstanding writing talent

B.realize the importance of technical progress

C.a(chǎn)ware of the necessity of environmental protection

D.rethink the harmful effects of developing industry

An increase in cyber-attacks and identity theft make the Internet seem like a scary place these days.

Last week, there were reports of a billion dollar theft from European banks and secret viruses on millions of computer systems across Russia, China, India, Iran and elsewhere. This raises a question: How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information?

【1】________________

Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length. They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet's name or the name of a family member.

【2】_______________

A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. Hackers are better able hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password. A password management service, like Dashlane or PasswordBox, can help you keep track of hard passwords. These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.

【3】_______________

This goes for all the devices you use in a day–your home computer, your work computer, or your friend's iPad. Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online. They keep records of every site you visited. Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks. It is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.

【4】_______________

An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet. Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks. These services might be useful, but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.

【5】________________

One of the most popular and successful ways hackers infect your computer is through a technique called phishing. Phishing occurs when someone opens an email attachment that looks real. But the attachment is actually a virus that immediately infects the user's computer. If someone sends you a file or a website you did not ask for, it is best to not click on it.
