　　The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small taxi company in Delhi，where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment，so it's proving a very popular service.

　　“When I'm on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women，”says 31­year­old Shanti Sharma，who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.

　　The last couple of months，since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus，have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.

　　“After this case，our workload has increased so much，” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”

　　Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰)，and worse，especially on public transport.

　　Sharma，a single parent with three daughters，has been working as a taxi driver since 2011，when the service was first set up，and it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough—about

　　250 a month—to support her family.

　　Of course，she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out，” she says.“I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot，so I just stay inside the car.”

　　It's not much better when she is out on the road.Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason.They'll try to overtake you.I'm always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”

　　The company behind Cabs for Women by Women，Sakha Consulting Wings，had a number of goals when it set up the service.It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money.By putting women in charge of technologies，it also wanted to change people's attitudes，and open up boundaries for women.

　　Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome.

　　Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.

　　Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.

　　Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. “It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it，” a source told FOX411. “They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.”

　　People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye，” said a family member.

　　And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.

　　But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.

　　“If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place，” he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

　　A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.

　　Also, Brown is “not brain dead，” as has been reported.

　　And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They “are NOT fighting，” says our source.

　　文章大意：本文主要讲Kristina病危，几家报社的报道都失真，一家人仍在祈祷出现奇迹。

　　1．According to Fox News, Bobbi Kristina is ________.

　　A．within an inch of life　B．on the way to success

　　C．left aside by her family D．in a good state

　　答案： A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知选A。within an inch of life半死；on the way to success在成功的路上；left aside by her family被家人放在一边；in a good state状态良好。

　　2．Bobby Brown holds the opinion that ________.

　　A．they are busy issuing statements all day

　　B．the family is saying goodbye to Kristina

　　C．he is getting along well with the Houston family

　　D．most journalists are getting the wrong end of the stick.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第七段But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.可知Bobby Brown认为大部分记者报道失真。故选D。

　　3．Which can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. An Accident In The Bathtub

　　B. Kristina, We're Still Praying And Waiting On A Miracle

　　C. False Reports From Different News Media

　　D. Bobbi Kristina's Final Days

　　答案：B　主旨大意题。通读文章，并根据文章的最后一段可知全家人仍在等待奇迹的出现。可知B正确。

　　【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Three Boys and a Dad

　　    Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. "This will be like a walk in the park," he'd told his wife. "I'll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom."

　　    Things started well, but just after eight o'clock, his three little "good kids"—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted "breakfast, daddy." When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍). Mike chanted "Where's my toast, where's my toast," in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

　　    Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named "Not Me" had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

　　    By ten o'clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

　　    At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycare centre(日托所). "I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes? " The answer was obviously "yes" because Brad was smiling.

　　1. When his wife left home, Brad expected to __________.

　　   A. go out for a walk in the park

　　   B. watch TV talk show with his children

　　   C. enjoy his first day off work

　　   D. read the newspaper to his children

　　2. Which of the following did Randy do?

　　   A. Drawing on the wall            B. Eating apple jam

　　   C. Feeding the fish.           

　　D. Reading in a room

　　3. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?

　　   A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.

　　   B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.

　　   C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys.

　　   D. Because he had to take his wife back home.

　　4. This text is developed _________.

　　   A. by space        B. by comparison       C. by process        D. by time

　　【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。    Some say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we can't go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.

　　EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY

　　    As soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.

　　BE RESPONSIBLE

　　    There are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you can't, own up to it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isn't just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate(适度的), sensible decisions so you aren't affected by the consequences later.

　　TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

　　    Incredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Don't let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.

　　FIND AND BE A MENTOR（良师益友）

　　    Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.

　　GET THE JOB DONE

　　    It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, "No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable（难以对付的）it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree."

　　1. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is ______.

　　   A. taking part in different activities

　　   B. working hard to get a degree

　　   C. seizing every chance to try new things

　　   D. improving themselves by learning from the others

　　2. Which of the following about college life is true?

　　   A. Passing on what you've learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.

　　   B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.

　　   C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.

　　   D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want.

　　3. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?

　　   A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning

　　process.

　　   B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.

　　   C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.

　　   D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.

　　4. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　   A. To give some rules for the college students.

　　   B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.

　　   C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.

　　   D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.
