21、It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming terrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed (头脑冷静的) drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when they are forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced（用错了地方的） politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

An experienced driver told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages( 拥堵) that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone（更不用说） master the roadman ship ( 公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give and take( 互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

【1】The passage mainly talks about______________________.

A. traffic jams   B. good manners

C. road politeness   D. modern drivers

【2】Troubles on the road are often caused by__________________.

A. traffic jams

B. the behavior of the drivers

C. the great speed of modern life

D. terrible road conditions

【3】According to the writer, a good driver should___________________.

A. encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to

B. beat back when forced to face rude driving

C. be able to recognize road politeness when he sees it

D. join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel

【4】It is not right for drivers to_________.

A. master the roadmanship

B. join in a traffic stream

C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

22、On November 15th, 2014, children aged 8 to 12 got together in five cities around the world to participate in the first Global Children’s Designation. The event that was organized by a Dutch company called Unexpect, challenged kids to come up with solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems in a day!

The day began with the kids listening to the various challenges that were related to their particular cities and towns. The teams were then asked to brainstorm about which problem they were going to handle and how. There were so many amazing ideas produced on that day.

While some of the ideas were far from perfect, there were many that could be practical like the smart cars which can ease traffic pressure by telling traffic lights of its arrival and also guiding the drivers to the best possible route(路线).

Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect, says the purpose of the project is to introduce children to skills they probably never learn in class. She says that for most part, schools focus on teaching things that they will most likely never need to know again. She believes that for kids to be successful in the world, they should be learning how to be creative, handle new technologies and deal with unexpected situations.

Though the first global design challenge was relatively small, involving only a few hundred of the two billion youngsters that are bursting with ideas, the next one will be much bigger. That’s because in 2015, Unexpect plans to distribute free tool kits(成套工具) to any school that is interested in hosting their own Children’s Designation Challenge. We can’t wait to see what ideas kids will come up with next.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. kids have to solve given problem

B. only few kids have amazing ideas

C. kids have to solve the problem separately

D. kids are free to choose to solve any problem

【2】What does the project of Unexpect aim to do?

A. To improve school education.

B. To share achievements of technologies.

C. To develop children’s creativity.

D. To predict some unexpected situations.

【3】What will Emer plan to do to make the next global design challenge bigger?

A. Reward children with much more money

B. Call on schools to teach some common skills

C. Provide more schools with some tools for free

D. Invite all schools to participate in the project

【4】 What can be the best title for the text?

A. Children’s crazy ideas for the country

B. The first Global Children’s Designation

C. Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect

D. How to solve the world’s urgent problems

23、Are you a true “cheapskate” (吝啬鬼)? You are if you do this when traveling: You always use a carry-on to avoid the checked-bag fee. You pack a lunch from home so you don’t pay for airline meals. True “cheapskates” also fly on the three cheapest days of the week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays).

◇ For U. S. domestic travel, everyone wants to fly Fridays and Sundays and those are usually the most expensive days to fly.

﹡ The fares for Los Angeles-to-New York flights in September:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 365

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 288

﹡ The fares for Houston-to-New York flights in September:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 302

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 226

◇ For transatlantic flights, the difference can be more startling and the rules a little looser.

﹡ Boston-to-Dublin fares from United Airlines:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 581

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 457

﹡ The fares for Washington-to-London flights in a week:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 896

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 732

﹡ It’s time for some Saturday fares now. This example features Chicago-to-Atlanta routes.

• Friday & Sunday: $ 207

• Saturday: $ 89

﹡ There were cheaper fares for this trip,but only if the Sunday flight departed at 5 am or earlier. Is the rule on the “cheapest three days to fly” etched in stone? No. It is usually true but not always. So you should be flexible. After all it can save much money. And isn’t that what being a “cheapskate” is all about?

【1】According to Para. 1, what does a true “cheapskate” really do?

A. Choose a luxury hotel to live in.

B. Save money in every way during the trip.

C. Fly on Fridays when traveling.

D. Have their lunch on the plane.

【2】How much should you pay for a flight to New York from Houston on Tuesday?

A. $ 226.   B. $ 288.

C. $ 302.   D. $ 365.

【3】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To recommend some cheap trips.   B. To call on us to fly on Sundays.

C. To introduce another topic.   D. To explain a special case.

24、I’d say I quarrel with my parents a lot. Throughout high school, I was always jealous of some of my friends who didn’t seem to have those problems at home, but I’ve come to see over the years that no one’s situation is perfect.

Part of the reason I work all week during my break, in addition to the money, of course, is to be out of the house to avoid continuing quarrels. At work, I eat lunch with my friend Krysta every day, but the best days are when our favourite workmate, Lucy, is on her lunch break at the same time as us. Her funny way of storytelling always has us laughing happily, and although she is almost old enough to be our mom, she feels more like a best friend.

A few weeks ago, however, there was a change in our lunch conversation, and the story she told had us in real tears instead of our usual tears of laughter. A more serious topic had come up, and she sat us down to explain the importance of forgiveness (宽恕), especially when it came to our parents. Telling stories of her troubled relationship with her mother, she changed my whole outlook on life and my feelings towards my parents. She reminded us that no matter how much resentment (怨恨) we’re feeling in a moment of anger, we have to be thankful for the support they provide and learn to forgive everything else.

This week I’ve spent my break at home, having very small quarrels and lots of quality time together with my parents. Sometimes you need a reminder to make you realize how important it is to let go of past resentment and work to repair broken relationships. My workmate’s moving stories not only brought me to tears in the break room at work that day but served as that wake-up call as well.

【1】Why was the author jealous of some of her friends?

A．They didn’t have to work all week.

B．They didn’t need to do housework.

C．They got along well with their parents.

D．They could spend much time with their parents.

【2】What do we know about Lucy?

A．She likes to have lunch on her own.

B．She is about the author’s age.

C．She has a sense of humor.

D．She is a poor talker.

【3】What happened to the author a few weeks ago?

A．She was taught a lesson by Lucy.

B．She was moved by Lucy’s mother.

C．She laughed happily at Lucy’s stories.

D．She discussed her problems with Lucy.

【4】What message does the author most want to give us?

A．We shouldn’t waste valuable family time.

B．We should show thanks to our parents.

C．We shouldn’t quarrel with our parents.

D．We should forgive all but ourselves.
