.阅读理解
Drunken driving—sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic (传染病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250, 000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant (宽容的) in most courts, but the drunken slaughter (残杀) has recently caused so many well publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20yearold drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist (抵抗) pressure to drink.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities (灾祸). Some states are also penalizing (处罚) bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intosxicated (喝醉的)” and later drove off the road, killing a nineyearold boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition (禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption (腐败) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
1．Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because ________.
A．most Americans are heavy drinkers
B．Americans are now less shocked by road accidents
C．accidents attract too much publicity
D．drinking is a socially accepted habit in America
答案：D 主旨大意题。文章开头作者即指出，酒后驾驶已经成了美国一种“尚可忍受的谋杀”，又在第二段中说，Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image....能喝酒以前是美国男性形象的一部分……。这说明喝酒是一种为社会所接受的行为。A是错误的，因为文中没有提到美国大多数男人都是酒鬼。B是错误的，并不是如今的美国人已经对车祸见怪不怪了。C的内容和本题不相干。酒后驾驶成为美国一个公害并不是因为酗酒吸引了很多公众的注意力。故正确答案为D。
2．Public opinion regarding drunken driving has changed because ________.
A．detailed statistics are now available
B．the news media have brought the problem to everybody's attention
C．judges are giving more severe sentences
D．drivers are more conscious of their image
答案：B 细节理解题。文章第二段后半部分说，The drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.因为最近酒后驾驶导致了很多悲剧，并且媒体加强了对这方面事故的报道，尤其很多小孩子成为受害者，这使得美国公众对酒后驾驶不再采取过去那种宽容的态度。故正确答案为B。
3．Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that ________.
A．many drivers have not reached the legal driving age
B．young drivers were often bad drivers
C．more people took no drinking in the 1960s
D．the legal drinking age should be raised
答案：D 细节理解题。文意在第三段中举新泽西州的例子是为了说明，降低青少年可以饮酒的年龄导致酒后驾驶在车祸中丧生的人数成倍增长，新泽西州不得不恢复了过去的合法饮酒年龄。故正确答案为D。
4．Laws recently introduced in some states have ________.
A．reduced the number of convictions
B．resulted in fewer serious accidents
C．prevented bars from serving drunken customers
D．specified the amount drivers can drink
答案：B 细节理解题。文章第五段开头说，Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. 新实施的更严格的法律使得更多的人被捕或者接受测试，并且在许多地区都大幅度地减少了车祸的伤亡人数。故正确答案为B。
5．The problem of drunken driving is difficult to solve because ________.
A．alcohol is easily accessible
B．drinking is linked to organized crime
C．legal prohibiting has already failed
D．legislation alone is not sufficient
答案：C 细节理解题。在文章的最后一段，作者提出对现状的忧虑。有些人提出应该像过去那样对酒精实行严格管制，但是实践已经证明了这只能导致一些人从非法的渠道买酒，并且助长了官员的腐败和犯罪现象。因此解决酒后驾驶的问题和解决吸毒的问题一样，任重而道远。故正确答案为C。
Ⅴ.短文填空
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的一项。选项中有两项为多余项。
How do you improve your spelling？__1__Just as we learn spoken language by hearing lots of people speaking，we learn written language, including spelling, by reading what a lot of people write. Spelling is not about how a word sounds, it's about how it looks on the page, which means you have to look at a lot of words on the page to learn the correct spelling about it.
Make a list of your commonly misspelled words.__2__When you get a chance, look it up and put the correct spelling next to it.__3__If you look it up more than once，add it to your personal list.
Write ! Write ! Write！__4__When you look it up how to spell a word，write it down several times in a row and do it again a day or two later.__5__Write a blog, a journal, emails, a novel, anything that will keep you using words and pay special attention as you write to the words that come up wrong.
A．There is no substitute(代替) for reading a lot.
B．Put a mark next to every word you look up in the dictionary.
C．Those of us who spell well have a hard time explaining it, too.
D．Let others read your writings, and ask them to circle misspelled words.
E．You're trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled.
F．The only way to really learn a word is to use it, and that counts for spelling as much as for learning its meaning.
G．When you catch yourself spelling the same word wrong over and over, write it down somewhere.
答案：1～5 AGBFE

How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic

To solve the problem, people have put forward many solutions, of which the following two are typical. One is to build more roads. It'll make the streets less crowded and quicken the flow of traffic. The other is to open up more bus routes. In this case, more people will take buses rather than ride bikes or drive cars. Then the number of cars and bikes racing on the streets will decline.
However, either of the two solutions brings about problems at the same time. The former may occupy too much land, which can be otherwise more effectively used. For the latter, it'll cause inconvenience to those living far away from the bus stops.
In my opinion, the best solution is to combine the two：building more roads where land is less profitable and opening up more bus routes down town at once.
