　　(2014·南通第一次调研)Now came great news! It came from a neighboring state, where the family's only surviving relative lived. It was Sally's relative — a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人)．

　　As soon as Aleck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relative's home and subscribed for the local paper.

　　For the rest of the day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower­pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.

　　“Thirty thousand dollars！”

　　All day long Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally in planning how to spend it.

　　There was no romance­reading that night. The children took themselves away early, for their parents were silent, disturbed, and strangely unentertaining. Two pencils had been busy during that hour — note­making; in the way of plans. It was Sally who broke the stillness at last. He said, with excitement, “Ah, it'll be grand, Aleck! Out of the first thousand we'll have a horse and a buggy for summer, and a cutter and a skin lap­robe for winter.”

　　Aleck responded with decision and calmness.

　　“You can spend a part of it. But the whole of the capital must be put right to work.”

　　“Why, yes, yes, of course. Have you got it invested yet？”

　　“No, there's no hurry about that; I must look around first, and think, er ... I've turned it over twice; once in oil and once in wheat.”

　　“Why, Aleck, it's splendid! What does it amount to？”

　　“I think — well, to be on the safe side, about a hundred and eighty thousand clear, though it will probably be more.”

　　“My! Isn't it wonderful? Good heaven! Luck has come our way at last, Aleck！”

　　Then they went up to bed, but they left the candle burning in the sitting room. They did not remember until they were undressed; then Sally was for letting it burn; he said they could afford it, if it was a thousand. But Aleck went down and put it out.

　　A good job, too; for on her way back she hit on a scheme that would turn the hundred and eighty thousand into half a million before it had had time to get cold.

　　5．Why would Tilbury like to give all his money to Sally?

　　A．Because Sally was Tilbury's only relative alive.

　　B．Because Tilbury loved Sally and his family deeply.

　　C．Because Tilbury wanted his money to continue its function.

　　D．Because Sally and his wife are good at investing.

　　6．The underlined word “bequest” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

　　A．a gift of personal property by will

　　B．a proof of a person's identity

　　C．a method of getting money

　　D．a reason for giving money

　　7．What do we know about Sally and his wife after receiving the letter?

　　A．They were in deep sorrow and stayed up all night long.

　　B．They cared little about the bequest and lived their life as usual.

　　C．They paid a visit to Tilbury to confirm the truth of the letter.

　　D．They had a big ambition to invest the money and make huge profits.

　　8．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　(2014·江苏四校质量调研)Many countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three­point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car's airbags that will in

　　flate (使充气) during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.

　　Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three­point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920's they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.

　　Dr.C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5,1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable (伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three­point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.

　　In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front­seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated (授权) the use of five­point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.

　　An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.

　　The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver's airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre­inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel.

　　As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.

　　An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt.

　　There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.

　　1．This article mostly deals with ________.

　　A．how to drive safely on the road

　　B．different forms of seat belts

　　C．the history of seat belt development

　　D．the importance of seat belt use

　　2．We can learn from this article that ________.

　　A．to reduce your risk of death or serious injury by 70%, you must wear a five­point seat belt while you are driving

　　B．American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles because they had seen many injuries caused by car accidents

　　C．if two or more collisions occur during a serious car accident, your airbags can help reduce the risk of death by 70%

　　D．the US was the first country to require by law that car drivers and front­seat passengers wear their seat belts

　　3．The author treats the subject of this article with ________.

　　A．good humor B．admiration

　　C．seriousness

　　D．disapproval

　　4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．Seat belts were first used in airplanes and then applied to vehicles.

　　B．Airbags, door locks, and seat belts were all designed at the same time.

　　C．The lap belt is more modern than the 3­point safety belt.

　　D．Buying the latest seat belts is an essential driving skill.

　　(2014·镇江高三第二学期五校联考)Passion has somehow become a funny thing.

　　At first it's commonly defined as a love you have for something; something you may do during your free time. But today, passion goes beyond that. With people living the seemingly perfect life, passion has become the gateway to freedom, the ability to design and create the lifestyle you wanted. It is the fire that burns inside of you. It makes everything in life feel right and meaningful and it gives you a sense of identity.

　　But people today have some misunderstandings of what passion is.

　　You have to be extremely good at it. How often is it today that you hear of this or that inspiring guy who created a business out of passion or does what he loves every day? It's easy to think that that person is really good at what he does.

　　Absolutely right? Not really.

　　Passion isn't a competition where you keep getting better and then show off to people how great you are. Passion is a feeling. Like love, when it comes to you, you enjoy it and let it flow. It is this feeling that is all you need.

　　It has to be acceptable in the eyes of others. Some people think that passion needs to be acceptable, and it must meet the expectations of others or you may come across as crazy. It also has to be acceptable for the possible future of making a living out of it. Again, no. Passion can be anything you want. As long as you attain that special feeling which makes everything alright in life, it's absolutely okay. Nothing else matters then.

　　It will make you money. Inspiring as it is to hear of people making a full­time income from what they love, the truth is, it's not guaranteed that passion can make money for you. Do you think people would want to pay you if your passion is say,

　　sitting in front of the TV eating chips? Doubtful. There is a veritable gap which your passion needs to cross to enter the world where rules of life and society apply. And this gap requires a lot of effort and creative thinking to cross.

　　Passion is simply you.

　　It's your choice to start finding one and holding on to it. It can and will give you that special feeling and raise you to greatness.

　　With a little effort, you can easily find one.

　　And it's something you'll never forget in life.

　　Title Passion

　　(1)________ Before

　　•A love you have for something; something you do when you are (2)________．Today

　　Ⅰ.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自身经历诠释了一个道理：人们经常认为只有取得了某些成就，过上理想中的完美生活才会幸福。其实幸福就在平凡而琐碎的生活中，而且早就在你我身边。

　　1．选D　forget“忘记”；miss“错过”；overcome“克服”；accomplish“达到，实现”。长期以来，“我”认为幸福就是通过终点线的成功。因此，只有取得一些成绩，“我”才认为生活是幸福的。故D项正确。

　　3．选A　由下文“like a rabbit trying different side roads ...”可知，“我”在其他的时候，表现得像兔子一样，总愿意抄近路到达终点，故A项正确。

　　4．选C　由下文“hoping to reach that banner a little faster”可知，既然是想更快到达终点，肯定是以一种危险的速度前行，故选C。

　　5．选B　generally“一般地”；gradually“逐渐地”；unfortunately“不幸地”；firstly“首先地”。由语境可知，“我”逐渐意识到了……故B项正确。

　　6．选C　由上文“no matter how long I raced towards it”可知，那个目标从来没有离“我”更近一些，故选C。

　　7．选D　settle in“安顿，适应”；start off“开始”；stop by“顺便访问，停在……旁”；sit down“坐下”。根据下文“take a break”可知，此处表示坐下来休息。故D项正确。
