Ⅲ．阅读理解
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 horrible.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 good sense.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when 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 behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are 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，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers can't even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake 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．road politeness
B．traffic jams
C．good manners
D．modern drivers
2．Troubles on the road are often caused by ______.
A．traffic jams
B．the behavior of the drivers
C．great speed
D．terrible road conditions
3．According to the writer，a good driver should ______.
A．beat back when forced to face rude driving
B．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
C．encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
D．join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
4．It is not always right for drivers to ______.
A．master roadmanship
B．recognize politeness when they see it
C．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want
D．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
Ⅳ．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Linguistic（语言学的）Puzzles
How did language begin？What was the world's first language？Do all languages come from one original language？__1__
In the 4th century BC，the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account: Psamtik Ⅰ，an Egyptian King，wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was.__2__ He told his servant to find two newborn babies.When the servant had found them，the king gave them to a shepherd（牧羊人）and said，“Keep these babies with the goats.Take care of them，but do not talk to them.Listen to any words that they say.”The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone.He said，“The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world.”
__3__ He told the king，who asked his scholars about this word.They told him that the Phrygians，who lived in an area which is now Turkey，called bread “becos.” The king said，“Then Phrygian is the oldest language.” Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong.We don't know why the children said “becos”．
__4__ Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same “family” and that they started from the same parent language，ProtoIndoEuropean.Linguists think that it had split into several different languages，including Greek and Sanskrit，between 2000 and 1000 BC.Other languages，such as English and Spanish，developed from later splits.
__5__ Two questions that interest linguists are: How does language change？Why does language change？If you like solving mysteries，historical linguistics may be the job for you.
A．Nowadays，we study the origin of language more scientifically.
B．He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea.
C．The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him.
D．Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families.
E．People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2,000 years.
F．One day，while the babies were babbling to each other，the shepherd heard them say “becos”．
G．Linguists have classified many language families，and they are still trying to categorize others.
参考答案
Ⅰ．1．permit smoking 2．in a bad mood 3．lost his way；got around 4．under construction 5．in no time
Ⅱ．1．A 句意：如果你方便的话，我将在下周五拜访你。convenient后面常跟介词to，主语常常是it。fair意为“公平的”；easy意为“简单的”；comfortable意为“舒服的”，这三个选项均不符合句意。
2．B 根据句意可知需填“驾驶执照”，故用permit。permission “许可；准许”；allowance“津贴；补贴”；admittance“准入”。
3．B consideration意为“考虑”；construction意为“建设；建造”；conservation意为“保护；保存”；constitution意为“宪法”。根据句意判断应选B项，表示路在“修建”。
4．B 此处“系动词＋stuck”意为“受困于”。句意：四月份，由于火山灰带来的云雾，成千上万的度假者滞留在国外。
5．A supply sth.to sb./provide sth.for sb.表示“向某人提供某物”。
6．B on display意为“在展示；在展览”；suggest表示“建议”后接从句时，从句中用should do的虚拟语气形式，其中should可以省略。
7．C 句意：在那边当场被抓住的偷蛋糕的可怜的小男孩是一个孤儿。get caught表示“被抓住”。
8．C 由“You have to rely on yourself.”可知答话人不会帮助问话人，故选C项。No way意为“没门”。
9．B surroundings意为“周围环境”。surrounding为形容词“周围的”；environment意为“自然环境；外界”，多指大环境；situation意为“形势；情况”。
10．D be worth doing意为“值得做”，所以答案为D项，worth mentioning相当于定语从句which is worth mentioning。
11．C convenient不能以人作主语，可排除A、B项；在whenever引导的时间状语从句中，不能使用将来时，所以答案为C项。
12．A not only...but also...引导两个句子时，若not only位于句首，则其后的句子用倒装语序，但but also后的句子不倒装，故A项正确。
13．D found此处为过去分词作后置定语，用来修饰things，与things构成被动关系。句意：这是今年到目前为止在因特网上发现的最滑稽的事情之一。
14．B go for意为“喜欢；想得到”；react to意为“对……作出反应”；appeal to意为“向……呼吁；恳求”；make for意为“走向；促成”。根据句意判断应选B项，表示“政府已经对暴乱作出反应”。
15．D once意为“一旦”；only if意为“只有当”；unless意为“除非”；even though意为“即使；尽管”。根据句意判断应选D项，表示“尽管你知道你做错了”。
Ⅲ．1．A 主旨大意题。文章主要围绕“文明驾驶”的话题展开。
2．B 细节理解题。根据第一段首句“but manners on the road are becoming horrible.”以及下文的描述可知应选B项。
3．B 推理判断题。根据第二段最后Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.可知，作者认为好司机应该be able to recognize politeness when he sees it。
4．C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中首句和末句可知，让老太太们随时随地过马路是错误的。
