A
Karl Benz would possibly be shocked at the continued popularity of his invention. Our desire for cars has grown to a point where there is now around one car for every 11 people in the world. Reasonably, you may think that more cars mean more road accidents. But, as ever, numbers tell the truth.
Take the UK as an example. In 1950, a few years before I was born, there were
4. 4 million vehicles in Britain, one for every 11 people. In 2011, there were 34 million vehicles, eight times as many, and more than one for every 2 people. There were 5, 012 deaths on UK roads in 1950, but by 2011 the number of deaths had dropped by 63%.
If we translate these figures into the chance in a million of dying, or micromorts (百万死亡率), there was an average of 102 micromorts per person per year in 1950, dropping to just 31 micromorts per year in 2011. Or to put it another way, each
100, 000 vehicles in 1950 were responsible for 114 deaths, but by 2011 they were responsible for only five deaths.
Almost all of the richer nations have followed this pattern, in spite of traffic increasing. In the 30 years between 1980 and 2009, deaths on roads fell by 55% in Australia, 69% in France, 63% in Britain, 54% in Italy and 58% in Spain. But deaths slightly rose in Greece.
Sadly these trends are not observed the world over. While the average risk for a person from dying on the roads in high-income countries is 103 micromorts per year, it is 205 in low-and middle-income countries. Of 3, 500 people killed a day worldwide, 3, 000 are in the developing world, in spite of those countries containing less than half of all cars on the road. (304W)
1. The first paragraph tells us .
A. Karl Benz is the inventor of vehicles
B. there is a car for every 11 people in Britain now
C. numbers show more cars mean more road accidents

A. About 5, 000.
B. About 3, 600.
C. About 1, 800.
D. About 63.
3. In which of the following countries deaths on roads have possibly risen?

A. before 1950 there was more than one car for every two peoplein Britain
B. there was just 31 micromorts per year in 2011 in France and Britain
C. deaths on roads have slightly risen in Italy in the last 30 years

(原创)A record 1. 12 million people took the annual national civil servant exam on Nov. 26, 2017, a rebound after the number fell in 2010 and 2011.
Some 1. 5 million people who registered for this year’s exam passed the qualification assessment(认定), and 1. 12 million took the exam on Sunday, according to figures from the State Administration of Civil Servant. They are competing for around 20, 800 positions in more than 140 State-level government agencies and their local branches.
The number of qualified applicants and number of people who took the exam reached a new high in 2009 before dropping in the following two years. This year’s numbers showed a rebound in interest. High employment pressure, fierce competition for jobs and the chance of a stable working life are the main reasons behind the demand for government positions, said an article released by the administration on Sunday.
However, the Administration said that some positions, particularly those in remote and poor areas, have failed to attract applicants. “We hope our applicants can devote themselves to working in West China, in remote and less-developed regions, and in areas that the country needs them most, ”the article said.
Li Yongxin, president of the Zhonggong Education Group, which offers private training for exam hopefuls, said that in the past few years, only two thirds of applicants actually take the exam. But on Sunday, three fourths of the applicants did so.
The Administration has also warned that anyone who cheats in the exam will not be allowed to reapply for five years. And people who organize group cheating or hire ghostwriters to take the exam will be banned for life.
Some university students, who are ineligible(不符合资格的)to take the civil servant exam, are trying to take the exam by applying with false information—inventing degrees and work experience.
The civil servant exam is only open to university graduates and people who have work experience.
Various examination sites across China have carried out measures to stop cheating. (328W)
5. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Record Number of Hopefuls Took Part in Annual National Civil Servant Exam
B. Annual National Civil Servant Exam
C. Many People Took Part in Exams
D. Record Number of Hopefuls
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true accordingto the passage?
A. The number of the people taking part in the annual civil servant exam has been increasing for three years.
B. Not all positions are attractive to the applicants.
C. Three fourths of the applicants took the exam in 2017.
D. Anyone who cheats in the exam will not be allowed to reapply for five years.
7. What does the underlined word “rebound” in Paragraph 3most probably mean?
A. rise
B. fall
C. rise again after a fall
D. no change
8. How many people who passed the qualification assessment didn’t take the exam this year?
A. About 1, 500, 000.
B. 1, 120, 000.
C. 38, 000.
D. About 380, 000.

【译】【析】本句的主句为, 前面是引导的条件状语从句, 后面是作结果状语。
2. While the average risk for a person from dying on the roads in high-income countries is 103 micromorts per year, it is 205 in low-and middle-income countries.
【译】【析】本句中引导让步状语从句。Ⅰ.1.【解析】选D。考查分数表达与主谓一致。three fifths表示“五分之三”; “分数、百分数+of+名词”作主语时, 谓语动词与of后的名词保持数的一致, 此处of后的名词distance是不可数名词, 谓语动词应用单数, 因此选D项。
2. 【解析】选B。句意: ——班主任说我们仅有三天的时间来完成这项任务。——别担心, 我们已经完成了三分之二了。get through做完, 完成, 符合句意。take over接管, 接收; make up编造, 弥补, 虚构; give away泄露。
3.【解析】选D。句意: 她说他的坏话是出于嫉妒。out of envy出于嫉妒。curiosity好奇; interest兴趣; sympathy同情。故选D项。
4.【解析】选D。句意: 当烟雾和火焰吞噬了一家印度的医院时, 医务人员弃病人于不顾, 结果死了89人。根据句意可知主语Medical staff和动作abandon之间为主动关系, 故用动词的现在分词作状语。
5.【解析】选B。句意: 坚持学外语有时可能会使人非常沮丧, 但是坚持学习最终就会得到回报。take off起飞, 脱下(衣服), 突然开始成功; pay off还清, 成功, 奏效; call off取消; send off为……送行, 寄出, 发出。
6. 【解析】选C。句意: 听到这里, 我哭了, 因为我意识到过去认为吉姆的父亲是一个失败的人, 自己是多么的傻。本题考查感叹句用于宾语从句: What+a+名词+主语+谓语!
【变式备选】
(2017·西安模拟) it is to sit down and have a good chat with your close friends!
A. What great funny B. What a great fun
C. What great fun
D. How good fun
【解析】选C。考查感叹句。句意: 坐下来和亲密的朋友们聊聊天是多么惬意啊!fun是不可数名词, 应由what引导感叹句, 且fun前不加冠词。
7.【解析】选C。根据第一句“你介意我把车停这儿吗? ”可知答语为两种: 介意, 不能停; 不介意, 可以停。分析四个选项可知A、B、D三项为前后矛盾, 故选C项, “实际上我宁愿你不要停在这里”。
【知识拓展】
如何回答Would you mind. . . ?
1. 若表示“不介意”或“同意”时, 常用否定形式。例如:
①No, of course not. ②No, certainly not. ③No, not at all. ④No, go ahead. ⑤No, do as you like. ⑥No, indeed. ⑦No, please. ⑧No, I don’t mind.
⑨No, do it please. ⑩Not in the least. 等。
2. 若表示“介意”或“不同意”时, 则常用较委婉的方式加以拒绝。例如:
①I’m sorry but I do. ②Sorry, you’d better not. ③I’m afraid you can’t. ④I wish you wouldn’t. . .
⑤I’m sorry, but it’s not allowed. . .
⑥Yes, I do mind. 等。
但很少用Yes, I do mind. 来回答, 因为这种答语显得较生硬。
8.【解析】选C。句意: 为了欣赏风景, Irene宁愿坐长时间的火车, 也不愿乘飞机旅游。scenery风景的总称; sight强调人文景观; view站到某处所看到的风景; scene一幕, 一个场景, 强调有人参与其中。故选C项。
9.【解析】选B。句意: 我建议刚才被提到的那个人应被选为主席。refer to作后置定语修饰the person, 且它们之间有逻辑上的被动关系, 故用过去分词形式; suggest之后的宾语从句中要用“should+动词原形”形式, 其中的should可以省略。
10.【解析】选D。句意: ——他看上去那么吓人, 孩子们真的很害怕。——他经常用那种令人恐惧的表情来吓唬他们。frightened感到害怕的; frightening令人害怕的, 吓人的。
11.【解析】选A。句意: 要是早几分钟的话, 你就会见到那位NBA的明星。可惜, 你那时没来。此题的前半部分为隐含的虚拟条件, 与过去事实相反, 因此后面的陈述句应使用一般过去时。
12.【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意: 在西昌卫星中心发射的通讯卫星已经成功地进入轨道。根据句子结构以及句意可知launched from Xichang Space Center作定语修饰the communication satellite, 且launch这一动作已发生并与被修饰词the communication satellite之间是动宾关系, 所以用过去分词。
13.【解析】选A。句意: 正是因为他缺少经验才被拒绝了。be short of=lack缺少; be short for是……的简称。
14.【解析】选A。考查定语从句。句意: 中央电视台《感动中国人物》节目表扬那些做出了贡献, 应该被人记住的人们。whose引导定语从句, 在从句中作定语, 修饰contributions。
