[2015·河北七校联考]High heels, coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.
While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported, women played their part by driving in high heels. Putting fashion over function meant 44 percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels.
Being keen on a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicles. Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their cars or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or an empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedals.
However, it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car； man's best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured. One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape (擦伤) or miss on the road due to their dogs' wandering freely, climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.
The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time, according to the poll of 2,000 British motorists. The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of ￡ 261.47 for the damage caused by every crash. Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midlands and Wales.
Janet Connor, a managing director, said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly， as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of waste materials. She said, “The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are wellknown but as the evidence suggests, those within the car are often forgotten.”
本文介绍了开车时最危险的三种东西：高跟鞋、咖啡杯以及狗，并告诉我们在开车时应该多关注这些危险的东西。
1．What mistake do women drivers most probably make while driving?
A．They wear expensive clothes.
B．They wear shoes with high heels.
C．They drink too much coffee in cars.
D．They take their dogs without tying them.
答案：B 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“women played their part by driving in high heels”可知，女性驾车所犯的错误是穿高跟鞋，故选B项。
2．Those who like drinking coffee often have accidents because ________.
A．the coffee may make them feel faint
B．the coffee may make the car smell terrible
C．empty coffee cups may make the brake fail
D．deserted bottles look the same as brake pedals
答案：C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their cars or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or an empty bottle rolled under their brake pedals”可推知，空的咖啡杯可能造成刹车失灵，故选C项。
3．Why shouldn't drivers put their dogs in the car while driving?
A．Dogs may bark loudly if seeing traffic lights.
B．Dogs may walk around or even try to escape.
C．Dogs may break the windows to get fresh air.
D．Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty.
答案：B 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape (擦伤) or miss on the road due to their dogs' wandering freely, climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows”可知，狗可能到处走动或从窗户逃跑，故选B项。
4．We can mainly learn from the passage that ________.
A．people often neglect the dangers outside the car
B．accidents will be avoided if cars are cleaned regularly
C．dangers within the car should be given more attention to
D．only 10% of the drivers remember to keep their cars clean
答案：C 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are wellknown but as the evidence suggests, those within the car are often forgotten”可推知，车内的这些潜在的危险和使人分心的事情也是事故发生的原因，但是经常被人们忘记，所以需要我们给予更多的关注，故选C项。
1．dangerous adj. 危险的 2.function n．/vi. 功能；运行
3．desert n．/vt. 沙漠；遗弃；抛弃
4．catastrophe n. 大灾难
5．regularly adv. 定期地；有规律地
1．be regarded as... 被当作……
2．be responsible for 对……负责
3．pick up 拾起；(无意中)学会；接收；(中途)搭载；接(送)某人
原文：However, it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car. (强调句型)
译文：然而，并非只在车里穿衣和吃东西造成威胁。
仿写：It was not_until_his_father_returned_from_work that he got down to doing his homework.
直到他父亲下班回家他才开始着手做作业。

[2015·甘肃兰州双基考试]Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my iPhone—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there is time when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule－no laptops, iPads, phones, etc.. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am antitechnology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage in complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course, the material and the class discussion.
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the education reflects students' satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversations and challenges， they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
本文主要讲述了作者不让学生在他的课堂上使用技术设备。
5．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________.
A．the course material
B．others' misuse of technology
C．the author's class regulation
D．discussion topics
答案：C 考查细节理解。根据第二段的最后一句“When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy”可知，历史课上一些学生不开心的原因是老师定的课堂规则，故选C项。
6．According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.
A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have indepth conversations
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．affect students' concentration on course evaluation
答案：A 考查细节理解。根据第四段的第一、二句可知，作者不让学生在课堂上使用技术设备的原因是担心学生们过于依赖电子技术来获取信息，从而丧失了独立思考的能力，故选A项。
7．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.
A．is quite stubborn
B．values technologyfree dialogue in his class
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．will give up teaching history
答案：B 考查推理判断。根据最后一段的最后一句“A few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too sweet to give up”可推知，作者很看重没有技术设备干扰的对话，即B项正确。
1．course n. 过程；进程；课程 2.include vt. 包含；包括
3．thoroughly adv. 完全地；彻底地
4．assume vt. 假定；猜想
5．challenge n．/vt. 挑战；怀疑
1．in advance 预先；提前
2．change one's mind 改变某人的想法
3．stick to 坚持；粘住
原文：The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage in complex ideas. (表语从句)
译文：让学生们把技术抛在脑后的真正原因是我认为我们有太少深入交谈和真正进入综合的想法的地方。
仿写：The reason why misunderstanding occurs is that_the_two _people_speak_different_languages and can not communicate with each other well.
误会产生的原因是这两个人说不同的语言并且彼此交流得不够好。
