　　Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four

　　questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose

　　one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage One

　　Many people are wondering if it is safe to talk on the phone while driving. There have been quitea few accidents while drivers were talking on the phone. Some research is being done to find out ifdriving while talking on the phone is dangerous.

　　When there is a car accident police officers will find out if any of the drivers were using a cellphone. They will write this information in a report. The information will be saved and later studied.

　　There have been some very bad car accidents caused by drivers being distracted by cell phones.

　　Drivers sometimes forget to watch the road carefully when they are using their phones. Not payingattention to the road can be dangerous, even deadly.

　　It is important for drivers to focus on the road. They need to pay attention to what is going on

　　around them. They might need to stop or swerve quickly.

　　People want to make sure that the roads are safe for everyone. Studies will be done using the

　　information police officers collect at accidents. Maybe someday this information will lead to laws aboutdriving and using cell phones.

　　36. While driving, drivers must keep an eye on what is happening

　　A. in other cars

　　B. on the phone

　　C. around them

　　D. at home

　　37. Driving and talking on the phone at the same time could be, research says.

　　Passage Two

　　If the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not understand the

　　question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you do not know theanswer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need tolearn.

　　There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your teacher

　　or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment. It is your responsibility to find out whatassignments you have missed. It is not the teacher's responsibility to remind you of missedassignments.

　　You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you

　　will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within oneor two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

　　Be on time! It is considered rude to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in

　　late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into theroom. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the U.S. it is not necessary to knock before you enterthe classroom. Most of the ELC teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

　　Have your book out and be ready to begin when the class starts. Your teacher should not have toask you every day to take out your book. Be sure you have a paper and a sharp pencil ready.

　　D. Make your pencil sharp after class.

　　Passage Three

　　Imagine going to sleep in October and waking up in May! Well, marmots and ground squirrels

　　stay warm by sleeping all winter. All this time, they do not wake up once. This special kind of sleep iscalled hibernation. During this sleep, the heart slows down, and the animal breathes more slowly, itdoesn't move around, so it uses less energy.

　　Animals like the marmot and the ground squirrel inhabit the coldest parts of the world. They needspecial talents to survive in these frigid places. Their furry coats keep them snug when the temperaturefalls below zero. It often gets this cold in the Arctic, a land that is just below the North Pole.

　　Before the long winter, some animals eat and eat. After a while, they grow very fat. When the

　　winter comes, they live on the fat saved up in their bodies. Layers of fat keep an animal warm.

　　Arctic animals also have other ways to beat the cold. Rabbits in the Arctic, for example, have

　　very small ears. Small ears keep heat in, while big ears let it out. Small things usually keep heat in.

　　Have you ever slept in a room that is very small, and noticed how hot it can get?

　　It rarely gets warm in the Arctic. But although summer seasons there are very short, the sun

　　shines brightly. Plants seem to spring up before your eyes! Animals such as caribou look forward allyear to summer, when they can eat fresh grass again. Every minute of sunshine is important to theirlives.

　　Passage Four

　　Today, the Indianapolis 500, one of the world's most famous car races, takes about four hours to

　　run. If the Indy 500 had been held in 1895, it would have taken almost three days. The horseless

　　carriage had just been invented a short time before. Top speeds back then were much lower than theyare today. For most people, just seeing a car move without a horse pulling it was thrilling enough. Thedriver's main concern was making sure the car didn't break down.

　　One of the first car races was held in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in 1895. Folks crowded thestreets togawkat the new machines. The route of the race went through the heart of town. The carswere to go out to a nearby suburb and back. The race covered a distance of about 54 miles. That's lessthan one-tenth the distance at Indy. The drivers cranked up their engines and prayed that they wouldn'tbreak down. Then they were off. The race proved too much for some of the cars. Perhaps they couldn'twithstand the high speeds. The winner of the contest was J. Frank Duryea. He finished the race a bitmore than seven hours after he started. He had covered the grueling distance at an average speed of7.5 miles per hour. That is slower than a modern marathoner can go on foot. Even so, as Duryeafinished, the crowd went wild.

　　【解析】

　　36.倒数第二段。司机要随时注意周围的情况。In other cars在别人的车里。选项C是正确的。

　　37.第一段最后一句。选项B是正确的。Illegal非法的。根据最后一段，有关法律还未出台，所以还不能断然说是非法的。

　　38.第二段。在车祸现场，警察要做的是询问司机是否在用手机。收集其信息作研究，而不是对车祸本身做研究(选项C)。选项D是正确的。

　　39.最后一段。选项D是正确的。研究要靠从车祸收集来的信息来做。人们担心的就是道路是否足够安全，而研究也是为此而做。选项A可以是做这种研究的原因或目的。选项B太笼统，强调的是车祸本身，而不是有关车祸起因的信息。研究之后才有可能是有关法律的制定，不可能基于有关的法律做研究。所以，选项C是不正确的。

　　【原文大意】

　　许多人想知道开车时打电话是否安全。很多车祸都是发生在司机打电话时。一些研究正在进行中以证明一边打电话一边开车是危险的。

　　如果发生车祸，警察会差名司机是否在用手机。他们会把这个信息记入报告中，这个信息被存储以备以后研究之用。

　　有些非常严重的车祸就是因为司机受手机影响精神不集中造成的。在用手机时，司机往往忘了注意路上状况。忽略路况是非常危险的，甚至是致命的。

　　注意路况对司机来说是非常重要的。他们需要注意周围的情况，以便能快速停车或转向。

　　人们想确定道路对每一个人都是安全的。人们将基于车祸时收集的信息作研究，将来的某一天，会制定出有关开车时使用手机的法律。

　　【原文大意】

　　如果老师提问，你应当回答问题。如果你没有明白那个问题，应当举手请老师重复那个问题。如果你不知道答案，没关系，告诉老师你不知道。这样，他就知道你需要学的是什么了。不能有任何借口不做作业。如果你缺课，应当向老师或同学询问作业。你有责任去问你落的作业是什么。老师并没有责任提醒你落的作业是什么。

　　你绝不应缺席考试。如果你病得很厉害，要告知老师你不能参加考试。如果老师允许补考，你应在返校后的一两天内补上错过的考试。缺考的唯一可接受的理由是重病。

　　不要迟到!迟到是很无礼的行为。同时，迟到还会影响其他学生。如果你不得不迟到，动作一定要轻。进教室前就把书和纸从包里取出来，然后走到你的座位，静静地坐好。在美国，进教室前不必敲门。如果你经常迟到，ELC老师不会给你好成绩。

　　书取出来之后准备上课。老师不会天天提醒你把书取出来。一定要记住准备好纸和削好的铅笔。

　　47.倒数第二段。作者用一系列的例子说明小空间可以保持温度不释放掉。选项A是正确的。

　　【原文大意】

　　想象一下吧，l0月开始睡，5月醒来。土拨鼠和松鼠靠睡觉来保持整个冬天的温暖。这段时间一刻不醒。这种特殊的觉就叫冬眠。睡觉过程中，心跳频率下降，动物的呼吸也慢了许多，它不四处走动，所以能量消耗得少。

　　像土拨鼠和松鼠一样居住在世界最冷地方的动物，它们需要特别的天赋以生存在这样寒冷的地方。在温度降到零度以下时它们的毛皮使它们保持温暖。就在北极下面的北极圈经常是这么冷。

　　长长的冬季到来之前，有些动物会不停地吃，很快，它们就会长得很胖。冬天到来时，它们就靠着积攒起来的脂肪生存了。脂肪帮助动物保持温暖。

　　北极圈的动物还有其他的方法抗击严寒。例如，北极圈的兔子耳朵非常小。小耳朵可以把热量挡在体内，而大耳朵则会把热量放出去。小东西总是会把热量存在里面。你注意过吗?你在非常小的房间里睡觉会感觉非常热。

　　在北极圈难得温暖。尽管夏季非常短暂，但总是有太阳的明亮照射。植物在你眼前迅速成长。动物们如北美驯鹿，企盼了整整一年的夏天，他们又可以有鲜草吃了。每分钟的阳光对它们的生命都是非常重要的。

　　第四篇

　　【答案】

　　48.C 49.A 50.C 51.B

　　【解析】

　　48.文章讲的是早期的机动车赛。选项A只是一个例子简要说明早期车赛的历史。选项C是正确的。

　　49.第一段和第二段都提到司机最担心的是汽车会抛锚，可见汽车抛锚在当时是最常发生的。因此，如果汽车没有完成比赛，很可能就是汽车抛锚了。选项A是正确的。其他选项的问题并未在文章中提到。

　　50.第一段和第二段都提到人们对没有马拉的车居然能走很是惊讶。至于速度的快慢不在他们关注的范畴。选项C是正确的。

　　51.第二段。Glare瞪眼，stare盯着看。文中提到人们的惊异感觉，所以对这新奇的机器应该是盯着看。选项B是正确的。

　　【原文大意】

　　现在，世界最著名的车赛之一印第安纳波里(美国印第安纳州首府)500需要约4小时的时间完成。如果这种车赛在1895年举行恐怕需要3天的时间。这种没有马拉的车就在那一年前不久刚刚发明。那时的最高速度比今天要低得多。对大多数人来说，就看看无马的车能走就已经很惊异了。司机最担心的是车不要抛锚。

　　第一次车赛是在1895年芝加哥感恩节那一天。当地居民都聚集在街上注视着这个新机器。比赛的路线是穿过镇中心。车从附近的郊区出发，再返回。整个赛程约54英里。这个赛程还不到Indy车赛的十分之一。司机们用曲柄开动引擎，祈祷车千万别抛锚，然后出发上路。这场车赛的确考验了一些车，它们很可能是承受不了这么高的速度。车赛的胜利者是J.Frank Duryea，他用了7个小时多一点的时间完成了比赛，平均速度是每小时7.5英里，比现代的跑步马拉松要慢一些。即便如此，当Duryea结束时，人群疯狂了。

　　第五篇

　　【答案】

　　52.B 53.C 54.D 55.A

　　【解析】

　　52.第一段。Pay his way through school付学费。小男孩挨家卖货是为了付学费。选项B是正确的。卖货的过程当中突然发现口袋里没有钱，而卖货不是为了赚零钱，所以D错误。

　　53.第二段。他们再次相遇时在医院，男孩已成了医学专家。选项C是正确的。医生一眼就认出了那位妇女，所以不存在二者都变化太大以致互相认不出来的情况(选项A)。选项B与事实相反。

　　54.从第一段结尾到第二段说他特别关注这个病人，可以看出他是为了报答。选项D是正

　　确的。

　　55.作者在叙述故事时，从男孩本想要顿饭改成一杯水，到妇女给的是牛奶，从医生对妇女的特殊照顾到最后的账单。可以看出，作者想要说的是：好心有好报。A选项正确。

　　【原文大意】

　　一天，一个男孩正挨家叫卖商品以筹学费，突然发现身上只剩下了一个一角硬币，但是他很饿。他决定到下一家讨一顿饭。但到了那一家，一位年轻的妇女打开门时，他却失去了勇气，他没有要吃的，而是要了一杯水。这位妇女觉得他看起来很饿，便拿给他一大杯牛奶。他慢慢地喝完，然后问道，“我欠您多少钱?…‘你什么都不欠我的，”她答道。“我真心地感谢你，”他说。

　　数年之后，那位妇女病得很厉害，当地的医生把她送到大城市，这里有专门研究她这种少见的疾病的专家。Howard Kelly医生被叫来会诊。当他听到她来自那个小镇，立刻起身奔向她的病房。他穿着医生的外套去见她。他立即认出了她。他回到会诊室，决定要尽一切努力挽救她的生命。从那天起，他给这个病号以特别的关注。经过长时期的斗争，终于胜利了。

　　Kelly医生要求办公室把账单给他证实一下，他在账单旁边写了些什么。账单被送到她的房间。她不敢打开看，知道她要用自己整个的余生来还账。她终于打开来，账单边上的字吸引了她：“账已经用一杯牛奶付过了”。
