(2016·山西高三上学期诊断)
Nearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research.One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers.The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.
Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash.“This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，” she said.“Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs.Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”
A survey arranged by price comparison website Confused.com found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety.But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value.The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.
“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs.They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，” said a Confused.com spokesman.
5．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?
A．They can be dangerous.
B．They are useful to avoid accidents.
C．They are welcomed by passengers.
D．They are forbidden to be used.
6．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Uninteresting. D．Objective.
7．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs________.
A．can improve safety
B．are unnecessary
C．can make drivers clearD．can kill time
8．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To solve a problem.
B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.
C．To tell an interesting story.
D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.
课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．解析： 考查交际用语。根据答语后一句中的内容可知说话人“一点也不介意对方把空调关掉”。
答案： C
2．解析： 考查代词用法。when it comes to (doing)sth.是固定结构，表示“当涉及某事(或做某事)时”。句意为：当提到节能的时候，大变化从细微的行动开始，比如随手关灯。
答案： C
3．解析： no在此为形容词，相当于not a/any，单独使用时应放于such之前；A项such后应加a；C项中a应去掉。
答案： D
4．解析： base...on...把……建立在……基础上。base为及物动词，这里指base our knowledge on practice，base与knowledge之间为被动关系，故用其过去分词形式。
答案： C
5．解析： 句意为：当老师告诉男孩的父亲他在学校的所作所为时，他的父亲非常生气。more than＋形容词表示“非常，十分”。 other than除了；less than少于；rather than而不是。
答案： A
6．解析： 句意为：妈妈大病未愈，但她的身体一天天地在“逐渐(gradually)”康复。其余三项：frequently频繁地；fluently流利地；actually实际上，均不符合语境。
答案： B
7．解析： sth.is native to表示“某物原产于某地，某物是……所特有的”。
答案： B
8．解析： play a part in是固定搭配，意思是“在……中扮演角色或起作用”；society为抽象名词，前面常不用冠词。
答案： B
9．解析： 考查动词词组辨析。A项的意思是“掌握……的要领”；B项的意思是“不把……当一回事”；C项的意思是“充分利用”；D项的意思是“取得”。句意为：快乐的人未必拥有最好的东西，他们只是充分利用了自己所遇到的一切。根据句意可知，C当选。
答案： C
10．解析： request要求，后加从句时从句用虚拟语气，should可以省略；refer to提及和reporter之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。
答案： C
11．解析： 下句意为：依我看来，与其说你的儿子笨，倒不如说他懒。more...than与其说……倒不如说，符合句意，故C项正确。
答案： C
12．解析： 考查副词辨析。由答语中的“gradually”可知他们的工资稳步增长，steadily稳定地，符合题意。sharply意思是“急剧地”；frequently意思是“频繁地”；vastly意思是“非常，很”。
答案： A
13．解析： 考查动词。句意为：你应该考虑到一种好的学习方式在你的学习中所起的作用。play与part连用表示“起作用，扮演角色”。句中的“a good way of learning________in your studies”是定语从句，修饰先行词the part。
答案： C
14．解析： 考查连词的用法。句意为：工程师们如此忙碌，以至于他们即使有这种兴趣也没有时间进行户外体育运动。wherever无论哪儿；whenever无论何时；as if似乎，均不符合语境。
答案： C
15．解析： 考查交际用语。How come表示“怎么会”；What for表示“为什么”；So what表示“那又怎么样呢”；Why not表示“为什么不呢”。根据答语中的“she never came late for class”可知，应选A。
答案： A
