Pushing Drunk Boss's Car Home Ten workers in China pushed their boss's car three miles home after' an office party because they were all too drunk to drive. The group was enjoying a meal at a restaurPushing Drunk Boss's Car Home
Ten workers in China pushed their boss's car three miles home after' an office party because they were all too drunk to drive. The group was enjoying a meal at a restaurant in downtown Changchun, Jilin Province (northeast China). When the party was over, Boss Zhang Fei found that he was too drunk to drive. Then suddenly they realized nobody had stayed sober enough to drive his car.
Drink-driving was listed as a dangerous offence in China in 2014, esp. when the driver is drunk. Those who break the law will have their driving license revoked, face a heavy fine and may be put in jail. Zhang did not want to leave his car downtown and it was too late to call out another driver to drive the car for him. Someone then suggested they push the car home, and said that the exercise would do them all good. Thus, all ten quickly agreed and set off with Zhang at the wheel. All ten workers pushed their boss's car home through the city streets, laughing and singing during the 45-minute journey. Passers-by were shocked to see the group.
Traffic officers said that as long as the car's engine was not running, it would not be classed as drink-driving under the law. However, it is still very dangerous for so many people to push the car along the road, as it may cause traffic accidents.
21. workers in China pushed their boss's car home in() minutes.
A. 45,10
B. 3, 8
C. 10, 45
22. Drink-driving was listed as a dangerous offence in China in()

B. 2014
C. 2015
23. Those who break the law may()
A. not have their driving license revoked
B. not face a heavy fine
C. be put in jail
24. People pushing the car along the road would not be classed as drink-driving because()
A. the car engine was not running
B. those people didn't drink
C. there were no police on the road
25. We can infer from the passage that drink-driving () the law.
A. is not against
B. is against
C. has nothing to do with

The First Bicycle
The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years.In 1791,Count de Sivrac______(1)onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention,a machine called the celeriferé.It was basically an______(2) version of a children's toy which had been in______(3) for many years.Sivrac's“celeriferé”had a wooden frame,made in the______(4) of a horse,which was mounted on a wheel at either end.To ride it,you sat on a small seat,just like a modern bicycle,and pushed______(5) against the______(6) with your legs一there were no pedals.It was im-possible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes,but despite these problems the invention very much______(7) to the fashionable young men of Paris.Soon they were______(8) races up and down the streets.

A:velocity
B:energy
C:pace
D:speed答案：D解析：根据句意，西夫拉克伯爵使公园里的观众都感到高兴，能表示“使……高兴” 意思的只有A项和D项。而D选项overjoy意思为“使……过度兴奋，狂喜”，感情色彩过于强烈，这里应填delight“使”……喜悦”。
一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版，increased“增加的”,enor-mous“巨大的”,extended“延伸的”均不合题意，所以应选D项enlarged。
此处有三个选项都可以与in搭配，in use“在使用中”,in operation“生效，运行中”,in service“服务中”，只有in use填入此空符合逻辑，故选择A。
最早的自行车是用木头支架做成马的形状，弄懂意思后答案一目了然，resemblance“相似，相似物”,appearance“外貌，外观”,body“身体，主体”，均不符合句意。
此处意思为“用脚使劲蹬地”，故选hard。 heavily“沉重地，猛烈地”,fast“快速地”,deeply“深刻地”均不符合句意。
四个选项都跟“地”有点关系，surface“表面”,ground“地面，土地”,earth“泥土，陆地”,floor“地板，地面”，比较之后，只有ground比较合适，所以答案为B项。
appeal to意思为“吸引”,attract本身就是及物动词“吸引”，后不需要加介词to, take to意为“开始喜欢，开始从事”，所以答案为B项。
hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思，其他选项不合题意。
此处作者想表达的意思是：人们在最后冲刺的时候，受点小伤是很常见的。只有wound和injury有“受伤，伤害”的意思，wound做名词一般指“伤口，受伤的地方”，而in-jury指“小伤”，所以C项为正确答案。
此处表示“最后猛一冲刺”，一定是速度很快，除了 B选项之外的三个选项都有“速度”之意，velocity“速率，速度”，为科学用语，pace“步调，步法”,speed“速度”，是常用词，故选D。
此处的意思是“改变方向”，并不是要改变路线，只有A选项符合题意。
想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转，turn round为惯用搭配，意为 “旋转，掉转”,roll和revolve本身就有“旋转”的意思，后面不需加round，所以C项为正确答案。
这四个选项都有“转圈”的意思，cycle“循环，骑自行车”,circle“旋转，环绕移动”,wind“缠绕，上发条”,spin“旋转，纺纱”，此处主语为wheel，轮子在空中一定是“旋转”, 因此选D。
四个选项都有“综合”的意思，mixture“mixture 混合，混合物”,link“连接，结合”, combination“结合，组合，联合”,union“联盟，联合”，全句意为“结合没有弹簧、没有方向舵，以及遭遇不平整路段等问题，木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服”，只有C选项的意思放在此处最恰当。
综合全文大意，我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖，A选项符合题意。 -

Pushbike Danger
Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure一or even kill一children if they fall onto the
ends of the handlebars（车把）.So a team of engineers is redesigning it to make it safer.
Kristy Arbogast,a bioengineer at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in
Pennsylvania,began the project with her colleagues.The cases they reviewed about
serious abdominal（腹部的）injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than
a third were caused by bicycle accidents."The task was to identify how the injuries occurred
and come up with some countermeasures."she says.
By interviewing the children and their parents,Arbogast and her team were able to
reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common cause for serious injuries.They
discovered that most cases occur when children hit an obstacle at slow speed,causing
them to topple（摇摆）over. To maintain their balance the children turn the handlebars
through 90 degrees一but their momentum（冲力）forces them into the end of the
handlebars.The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground,
pushing it into their abdomen（腹部）.
The solution the group came up with is a handgrip（握柄）fitted with a spring and
damping（减速）system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted
（传递）through the handlebars in an impact. The group hopes to commercialize the device,
which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike."But our task has been one of
education because up until now,bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem."

第15题：
DOn May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.
During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed（抑郁）.
How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!
第68题：
Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ______.
A. she was asked to do research on mice
B. she wanted to experience loneliness
C. she was the subject of a study
D. she needed to record her life

The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances.The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor, Paid for and maintained by“light dues”levied（征 收）on ships,the original beacon was blown up in 1776.Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies.Little over a century later,there were 700 lighthouses.
The first eight lighthouses erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basic New England design:a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by .In New England and elsewhere,though,lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles.
Since most stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences（高处）,enormous towers were not the rule .Some were made of stone and brick,others of wood or metal.Some stood on pilings or stilts;some were fastened to rock with iron rods.Farther south,from Maryland through the Florida Keys,the coast was low and sandy.It was often necessary to build tall towers theremassive structures like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras,North Carolina,which was lit in 1870.190 feet high,it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.
Not withstanding differences in construction appearance,most lighthouses in America shared several features:a light,living quarters,and sometimes a bell(or,later,a foghorn).They also had something else in common:a keeper and usually the keeper's family.The keeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick（灯芯）in order to maintain a steady,bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every walk of life, they were seamen,farmers,mechanics,rough mill hands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums.
After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board,and agency of the Treasury Department,the keeper corps gradually became highly professional.It can be inferred from the passage that lighthouses in the Northeast did NOT need high towers because______.
A: ships there had high masts
B: coastal waters were safe
C: the coast was straight and unobstructed
D: the lighthouses were built on high places答案：D解析：本文从最早美国灯塔的雏形，谈到美国早期灯塔的建筑，以及美国早期灯塔在外形和建筑上的共同点，最后还谈到了灯塔管理人员的工作生活。文章所提到的要点都是围绕着美国早期灯塔。选项B、D文中均有涉及，但并非重点。A项只提到了美国第一座灯塔。所以，正确答案是C。
考的具体细节是作者提到马萨诸塞湾殖民地的原因。本文第一段第二句“The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor”提供了答案。所以，正确答案是D。
考的是位于东北地区的灯塔建得不是很高的原因。本题的线索在第二段第三句话“Since most stations in the Northeast were built on rocky eminences,enormous towers were not the rule.”文中说，由于大多数位于东北地区的灯塔建在岩石高地上，所以，一般灯塔都不需要建得很高很大。所以，正确答案是D。
考的具体细节是最高的砖砌灯塔位于什么地方。依据原文第二段第八句话，“…like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras…it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the coun-try.”我们可以得知，1870年建于北卡罗来纳州Hatteras角的灯塔是美国最高的砖砌灯塔，高度为190英尺。所以，正确答案是C。
考的是北卡罗来纳州的海岸情况。根据原文第二段第七、八句话“Farther south,from Maryland through the Florida Keys，…it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.”可知，马里兰（Maryland）和佛罗里达海岸（the Florida Keys）相似，而马里兰（Maryland)和佛罗里达（the Florida Keys）海岸是low and sandy。所以，北卡罗来纳州也应是low and sandy。选项A rocky eminences指的是美国东北海岸，选项B、D根本没有提及。所以，正确条案是C。 -

The First Bicycle
The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years.In 1791,Count de Sivrac ______(51)onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed______(52)his two-wheeled inven-tion,a machine called the celeriferé.It was basically an______(53)version of a children's toy which had been in use for many years.Sivrac's“celeriferé”had a wooden frame,made in the ______(54)of a horse,which was mounted on a wheel at either end.To ride it,you sat on a small seat,just like a modern bicycle,and pushed______(55)against the______(56)with your legs-there were no pedals.It was impossible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes,but despite these problems the invention very much______(57)to the fashionable young men of Paris.Soon they were______(58)races up and down the streets.
Minor______(59)werecommonasridersattemptedafinalburstof_____(60).Controlling the machine was difficult,as the only way to change______(61)was to pull up the front of the “celeriferé”and_____(62)it round while the front wheel was spinning in the air. “Celeriferés”were not popular for long,______(63),as the______(64)of no springs,no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable.Even so,the wooden celeriferé was the______(65)of the modern bicycle.60._________
A: velocity
B: energy
C: pace
D: speed答案：D解析：根据句意，西夫拉克伯爵使公园里的观众都感到高兴，能表示“使……高兴”意思的只有A和D，而D选项overjoy意为“使……过度兴奋，狂喜”，感情色彩过于强烈，这里应填delight“使……喜悦”。
固定搭配。show off意为“炫耀”。此处是说他在公园炫耀他的两轮发明物。因此B项正确。
一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版，increased意为“增加的”, enormous意为“巨大的”, extended意为“延伸的”均不合题意。
最早的自行车是用木头支架做成马的形状，弄懂意思后答案一目了然，resemblance意为“相似，相似物”, appearance意为“外貌，外观”。
此处意为“用脚使劲蹬地"，故选hard。 heavily意为“沉重地，猛烈地”。
四个选项都跟“地”有点关系，surface意为“表面”, ground意为“地面，土地”, earth 意为“泥土，陆地”, floor意为“地板，地面”，比较之后，只有ground比较合适。
appeal to意为“吸引”,attract本身就是及物动词“吸引”，后不需要加介词to,take to 意为“开始喜欢，开始从事”。
hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思，其他选项不合题意。
人们在最后冲刺的时候，受点小伤是很常见的。只有wound和injury有“受伤，伤害”的意思，wound做名词一般指“伤口，受伤的地方”,injury指“小伤”，为正确答案。
此处表示“最后猛一冲刺”，一定是速度很快，除了B选项之外的三个选项都有“速度”之意，velocity意为“速率，速度”，为科学用语，pace意为“步调，步法”,speed意为 “速度”，是常用词，故选D。
此处的意思是“改变方向”，并不是要改变路线，只有A选项符合题意。
想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转，turn round为惯用搭配，意为“旋转，掉转”,roll和revolve本身就有“旋转”的意思，后面不需加round。
这种自行车并没有长时间受到欢迎，与前面形成转折，用however，因此B项正确。
四个选项都有“综合”吗意思，mixture表示“混合，混合物”,link意为“连接，结合”, combination意为“结合，组合，联合”, union意为“联盟，联合”，全句意为“结合了没有弹簧、没有方向舵，以及遭遇不平整路段等问题，木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服”，只有C 选项的意思放在此处最恰当。
综合全文大意，我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖，A选项符合题意。 -

When the policemen were ready,they hid?28?a hedge（树篱）and started to time passing cars.During their first half an hour,they caught five drivers.The policemen wrote down the?29?of each car and the name and address of the driver.But for the next half an hour the policemen didn′t see anybody?30?too fast.They thought that this was very?31.One of them drove a quarter of a mile along the road and saw two students?32?on the grass.They were holding up a sheet of cupboard so that motorists could see it.On the notice one of the students?33:"Danger.Speed trap."
The policemen took the notice away and wrote down the names of the students.Later on they were each fined￡5 for?34?to stop the police catching motorists who were?35?the law.
第26题答案是A.than
B.less than
C.the same as
D.no less than答案：A解析：考情点拨:句法结构题。前面有faster，为比较级，后面肯定与than连用。the same as不可能与比较级连用。less than“少于”和no less than“不少于”。其中less为比较级，与faster重复，故选A。 -
