| A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking（搭便车）on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road. The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel（方向盘）! The car started to move very slowly. The man looked at the road and saw a curve （拐弯处） coming his way. Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life. He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve. Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car. Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky. Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car. Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk! About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other, "Hey, there's a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!" |
| 1. When the car was first drawing near a curve, the man ________. |
| A. felt very curious B. was extremely frightened C. cried for help D. remained as calm as possible |
| 2. According to the passage, what made the man's experience believable? |
|
A. His reasonable behavior. |
| 3. We can infer from the passage that ________. |
| A. it is unsafe for people to take a free ride B. the man was telling a lie to his listeners C. the car probably broke down on the way D. the two young men were familiar with the man |
| Car sharing is another way to drive green that's gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas. People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands （差事）or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit （非营利的）and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot. Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members don't drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don't need a car, they don't use one. Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership. They usually don't have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance （保养）, and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go. If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus! |
| 1. The author intends to tell us that car sharing ________. |
| A. has become the most popular way to go to work B. has become the best way to cut living costs C. is becoming more and more popular in cities D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural （乡村的）areas |
| 2. We can conclude from the passage that _________. |
| A. Zipear can't help you if you are running urgent errands B. Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free |
| 3. The second paragraph mainly tells us _________. |
| A. why people will share a car B. why car sharing benefits the environment C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car D. why a car is available to members |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? |
| A. Car sharing has become a new trend （趋势）. B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership. C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing. D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services. |
| Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub. But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes（失礼）for the newcomers. A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs - starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no waiters — you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose. Pub culture is designed to promote sociability（社交）in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior. "If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain." This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”. The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order. |
| 1. The underlined word "sample" in the first paragraph probably means "________". |
| A. taste B. experience C. test D. record |
| 2. The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to ________. |
| A. encourage people to communicate with each other B. encourage more people to consume drinks C. attract more tourists to the pubs D. form its own character of culture |
| 3. If you don't follow the local rules in a pub, ________. |
| A. you won't buy good local drinks B. you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff C. you may fail to feel the local culture D. you might get into a dangerous place |
| 4. What may be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Self-service Pubs in Britain B. British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places C. Local Pub Culture in Britain D. Manners in British Local Pubs |
| Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it's best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day. The lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it's hard to explain." The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols, reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night’s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Survey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative （促使康复的）value." "We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with them all." |
| 1. The phrase "to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph 1 most likely means "________". |
| A. to pay full attention to a problem B. to wait until the next day for a decision C. to sleep to forget a problem D. to have difficulty in sleeping |
| 2. In the study by the US research team, students were asked to ________. |
| A. put together words of similar meanings B. remember words and their meanings C. show their knowledge of words D. make up lists of related words |
| 3. Which of the following may be easier to remember? |
| A. Themes learned right before the test. B. Rules from personal experiences. C. Words learned before a good sleep. D. Ideas stored together in the brain. |
| 4. What may be the importance of the research? |
| A. It shows that sleep may help us manage information. B. It helps find out the common themes of words. C. It tells us that more sleep can improve health. D. It proves the value of old-fashioned advice. |
| In one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease. In a study of almost 3,000 men and 5,000 women, depressed men were 70 per cent more likely to develop coronary (心脏的) heart disease than those who weren't depressed. While depressed women were just 12 per cent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 per cent more likely. In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have high blood pressure. The link works the other way around, too: While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack. The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health. But some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart. Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work. Researchers aren't sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist. One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves. They're more likely to eat high-fat, high-calorie "comfort" foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease. Recent studies found that people with severe, depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy 0-3 fatty acids. People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙). These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries (动脉) and prevent the body's natural healing mechanisms from working properly. A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the hormone system and so on. This science is gradually sorting out how the mind-body connection affects us, or defenses against heart disease. Generally, an estimated 10 per cent of American adults experience some form of depression every year. Although available treatments can ease symptoms in more than 80 per cent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need. |
| 1. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? |
| A. Depression — Heart Disease Risk Factor. B. Heart Disease — Health Killer. C. Depression — Mental Health Enemy. D. Heart Disease — Depression Factor. |
| 2. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage? |
| A. With high blood pressure, depression is another potential risk to women's health. B. Depression, which is mild, can possibly cause damage to your health. C. Most people who experience depression get treated as they should be. D. Depression may have some influence on the function of heart disease medication. |
| 3. According to the passage, the possible connections between heart disease and depression are the following EXCEPT ______ |
| A. depressed ones tend to eat high-fat and high-calories foods, which leads to physical damage to heart B. severe heart disease may cause people to feel hopeless and depressed C. depression may result in the lack of some kind of acids, which probably affects the working of people's heart D. people with depression often have a high level of stress hormones, maybe, which will put extra pressure on one s heart |
| 4. We can infer from the passage that ______. |
| A. more researches will be done to find the certain links between heart disease and depression B. the percentage of adults with depression is higher than that of depressed adults with heart disease C. one's lifestyle has relatively little relationship with one's mental health D. those with depression have a higher risk of developing heart disease |
