　　On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children.

　　The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pine­covered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.

　　But Roger Andersen，a 46­year­old father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine­year­old daughter Mia，four­year­old son Baylor，and nine­year­old neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.

　　“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”

　　The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down a steep ten­foot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into

　　the river.

　　There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windows，and within seconds，the cab of the upside­down car was filled with water.“It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen，a soft­spoken product development manager.“You're thinking，‘Is this how it's all going to end？'”

　　Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a broken window，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a group of men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into the water，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.”

　　【语篇导读】　Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救……

　　1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?

　　A．Nervous.

　　B．Curious.

　　C．Excited.

　　D．Puzzled.

　　解析　推理判断题。第二段提到这段30英里的路急转弯多，足以让多数司机手心出汗(are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat)，据此可推知，多数司机开车走在这段路上的时候应该都非常紧张，故选择A。

　　答案　A

　　2．What Andersen says in Paragraph 4 shows that ______.

　　A．he is used to driving on such a dangerous road

　　B．he has great confidence in driving on this steep road

　　C．he likes to ski on such a steep downhill road

　　D．he would not meet such trouble as other drivers did

　　解析　推理判断题。由Andersen说的话可知，他一年要在该地区滑雪至少20次，也对该地区冬天的情况很了解，由此推测他走这条路时十分有信心，故选择B。

　　答案　B

　　3．How did Andersen escape from the crashed car at last?

　　A．He was saved with the help of some passers­by.

　　B．He swam out of a broken window.

　　C．He broke a window nearby.

　　D．He drove his car out of the water.

　　解析　细节理解题。从文章最后一段可知，Andersen在车里找不到孩子，自己松开安全带，从一个破的车窗里游了出来，故选择B。

　　答案　B

　　4．Andersen's attitude toward these men's rescuing the children might be that of______.

　　A．doubt

　　B．satisfaction

　　C．sympathy

　　D．appreciation

　　解析　推理判断题。从最后一段Andersen的回答“It was like the sight of angels.”可推知，Andersen 对这些人的见义勇为是非常感激的，故选择D。

　　答案　D

　　【长难句解读】

　　原文　As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.

　　译文　当接触到水面时，车子向副驾驶那一边倾斜，稍停了一下，然后底朝天跌入河中。

　　分析　这是一个复合句，As引导时间状语从句，the car tipped...为主句，其中的四个动词为并列谓语，表示按时间依次发生的动作。

　　阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。In May, 2016, some Chinese tourists found a Chinese-character message “Ding Jinhao once visited here” on a statue of god in a 3500-year-old Egyptian temple. An angry tourist took the photograph of the scrawl and posted it on social media Sina Weibo. It was quickly spread and there were more than 100,000 comments during two weeks. Later, a 15-year-old Chinese boy was searched out as the person who caved this message. Many netizens expressed their anger and disappointment for the uncivilized behavior. They searched and identified the boy and then posted his personal information including the address and pictures online.

　　Over the weekend, his school’s website was hacked, and reporters flooded into his home in the city of Nanjing. Besieged by reporters, the child’s mother offered a formal apology for her son’s behavior. “We want to apologize to the Egyptian people and to people who have paid attention to this case across China.” the boy’s mother told the local newspaper.

Earlier this month, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang addressed: “Uncivilized behavior of some of tourists is giving this country a bad reputation abroad.” The discussion about Chinese quality was carried out on many media.

　　On the bright side, Egypt government described the damage to the temple as superficial（表面的）and could be restored and they would forgive the boy. While the act of Ding Jinhao symbolizes a national shame, meanwhile, many people concern about the child’s development and wish he could return to anonymity once more. “The boy has known his mistake and cried all night. He has to be moved around because reporters rushes to his house for interviews.” said a reporter who talked with the parents.

　　One of those big social networking sites，Facebook，has attracted over 58 million members.Commentator Melody Cramer is no longer one of them.Here is what she shares with us about her story.

　　I deleted all 1,281 of my co­workers，second­grade classmates and people who I don't know at all.I shut down my account，completely.I'm 25，and I've been on Facebook since March of 2004，which makes me one of the website's earliest users.

　　At first，I used it obsessively.If I had a free moment，I'd log on to see whether my friends had updated their profiles.I'd sit alone scrolling through these updates and then run into someone at a coffee shop and have nothing to say because I already knew everything about them，and they knew everything about me.

　　In November，I went to my five­year high school reunion and was not pleasantly surprised.Lauren became a model，Josh went to law school，Dina was a teacher.I hadn't talked to any of them since graduation，but I knew exactly what they were doing，both now and last week.But lately，I'm overwhelmed(应接不暇)．Facebook opened up to everyone，not just college students，and my co­workers started to join，which meant they now knew what I was doing when I

　　wasn't at work.

　　And as a rule: you can NOT make friends with your coworkers because then they'll ask you the next day.But I

　　thought we were friends.And you are friends but not the kind of friends who tell each other what they do outside of work.So now the people you work with can see what you did last night，and you're constantly worrying what people might say about what you did last night instead of actually doing anything tonight.

　　So I quit.I became a 25­year­old Luddite，a person who is strongly against technology development.I've retuned to how the world worked when I was 20，before I knew when my friends and co­workers were counting down the seconds to vacation or wistful(伤感的) or entering a complicated relationship.I'm hoping life will be a lot simpler now.People will be more mysterious now that I actually have to talk to them to find out their favorite books or hobbies or neurosis(神经症)．I don't know when my college roommate goes to the supermarket，and I think I'm a better person for not knowing.In fact，you could say getting off a social network was the best thing I've done this week.

　　阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Imagine this: you get up in the morning and put on a custom printed T-shirt. Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.

　　Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.

　　The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD（computer aided design）file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.

　　There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs（四肢）, we can soon be living longer thanks to 3-D printed technology.

　　Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 （767,594 yuan） developing a “3-D pizza printer”.

　　It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.

　　1. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

　　A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughs

　　B. describe the characters of 3-D printing

　　C. picture a future life with 3-D printing

　　D. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives

　　2. Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.

　　A. isn’t practical in daily life

　　B. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scanners

　　C. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbers

　　D. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs

　　3. We can infer from the article that ________.

　　A. there is still a long way to go before everyone can have access to 3-D printing

　　B. 3-D printed organs and limbs are as effective as real ones

　　C. big food companies are major players in the 3-D printing industry

　　D. people can create any object with any material by 3-D printing

　　4. What can be the best title for the text?

　　A. What is 3-D printing?

　　B. A new technology-3-D printing.

　　C. How to use 3-D printing?

　　D. The development of 3-D printing.
