完形填空
I take a deep breath, cross my fingers and step forward. Am I about to take the leap before bungee-jumping? 1 , I’m about to cross the road on my way to work.
There have been a few 2 in the press over the last couple of months about“Chinese-style road crossing”. The definition of this 3 is“a large number of people jaywalking(乱穿马路)together because they feel 4 in a big group”.
Crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and dangerous. It can be 5 to try and rush across the road while the red 6 is still lit; it’s only a short distance, what’s the 7 that can happen?
Many pedestrians don’t seem to understand the 8 they are taking. If the light’s on green, then most drivers won’t pay attention, 9 that no one will be crossing the road. If the driver does notice, it’s possible that they may not have the 10 stopping distance to be able to stop 11 hitting the person.
Also, stepping out onto a road at the wrong 12 causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a 13 effect possibly even a long tailback(车辆长队).
14 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 15 pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers don’t follow the rules, either. Even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people 16 crossing the road. Many times these cars don’t slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. It also means that people 17 cross the road when they should be allowed to—maybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.
Driving a car doesn’t mean you have more rights. It’s a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of 18 . It doesn’t seem completely 19 to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system that’s designed against them. A rethink of the way pedestrian crossing work and driver education may 20 a stop to“Chinese-style road crossing”.

3. A. word B. name

4. A. great B. happy

5. A. tempting B. interesting
C. exciting

C. suggested
D. allowed
【解析】选A。词义辨析题。车在刹车后到停止有一定的制动距离, required指“所需的, 规定的”。requested请求的; suggested建议的; allowed允许(某人拥有或某事发生)的, 意思不恰当。
11. A. before B. after
C. when
D. while
【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据句意可知, 此处为“在……之前”。
12. A. direction B. time

16. A. safely B. slowly
C. worriedly
D. legally
【解析】选D。词义辨析题。此句解释“中国式过马路”现象产生的一个原因是绿灯亮, 行人照理应该可以走, 但车辆此时右转, 就必然开进人群。legally合法地, 依照法律地。
17. A. can’t B. shouldn’t
C. won’t
D. mustn’t
【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。此句进一步解释。句意: 行人在(绿灯亮时)该允许走时, 却不能走(因为右转弯的车子阻碍了他们), 这就导致了“中国式过马路”。
18. A. responsibility B. possibility
C. personality
D. reality
【解析】选A。词义辨析题。根据上下文可知, 作者认为开车并非意味着有更多特权(车与行人都有路权), 但这种特权必定有相应的责任。responsibility责任; possibility可能性; personality性格; reality现实。
19. A. severe B. mild
C. fair
D. unjust
【解析】选C。前后照应题。take. . . into one’s hands意为“擅自处理”。句意: 行人因自行处理(即选择“中国式过马路”方式)不合理的道路系统而受惩罚, 这似乎并不公平。

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.
1.Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.
A.observing her school routine
B.expressing her satisfaction
C.impressing her classmates
D.preserving her history

答案 D
.What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?
A.A dull night on the journey.
B.The beauty of the great valley.
C.A striking quotation from a book.
D.Her concerns for future generations.
解析 细节理解题。由第三段的第一句话“At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.”可知,山谷的美让我意识到没有什么能比得上让自己去体验美。故选B项。
答案 B
.What does the author put in her diary now?
A.Notes and beautiful pictures.
B.Special thoughts and feelings.
C.Detailed accounts of daily activities.
D.Descriptions of unforgettable events.
解析 细节理解题。由第四段第一句话“Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.”可知现在“我”只把一些特殊想法和感受写在日记里,故正确答案为B项。
答案 B
.The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.
A.to experience it
B.to live the present in the future
C.to make memories
D.to give accurate representations of it

答案 A
