Driving in China
I have been driving cars since I reached the pedals(踏板). In Canada you   1  16 to get a driver’s license. I   2  myself to be a very good driver.
I visited China 20 years ago. I with my wife was in Shanghai to give a paper at a conference. We  3  the number of bicycles on the roads and the few cars. In Canada almost each family has one car, but it was  4  that most Chinese depended on bicycles.
I   5  Shanghai and to other Chinese cities many times since then and have watched the fast changes on the roads. There are far fewer bicycles now but   6  cars. The roads are crowded, the government has been forced to limit the number of days some cars can   7  and the traffic jams are almost constant (經(jīng)常的). So are the accidents. On a recent visit I saw four or five
  8  within a two-week period.
To get a driver’s license in Canada, you must drive, with an examiner, on real roads and in real traffic. However, in China you learn on a closed course,   9  real traffic, get a license and only then are able to drive under real roads.
Driving in Canada and driving in China   10  two different experiences. In Canada there are traffic jams but they aren’t so bad. We have more traffic lights; we obey them and drivers are usually
  11 , allowing other cars to cut in front of them knowing it won’t make much difference. In China, if you stop   12  another car cut in front of you will probably be there for a long time because once one car gets in, dozens of   13  will follow.
I would rather   14  the bus than drive my car in downtown Shanghai and Beijing. Because it’s  15  and stronger than most things that might run into it.

小題2:動詞辨析。A.看待，把……看做；B.懷疑，想知道；C.考慮，認為；D.想象，認為。think, regard, consider都有“看作”的意思，然而搭配不同。think一般與of搭配，形成think of…；regard與as搭配，形成regard …as; consider可以與as搭配，形成consider… as，也可以跟不定式,形成consider sb. to do sth.的搭配。根據(jù)下文to be a very good driver.可知此處指的是，我認為我自己是個好司機。故選C。
小題3:短語辨析。A.喜歡，癡迷于；B.憤怒于；C.對……感到滿意； D.吃驚于。聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是我們吃驚于路上自行車和汽車的數(shù)量。故選D。

小題6:聯(lián)系前文描述及轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but，可知此處指的是更多的汽車。故選B，更多的。
小題7:drive駕駛；allow允許。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是限制能夠駕車的日子。結(jié)合語境可知從句的主語some cars是動作對象，故用被動語態(tài)，選A。
小題8:聯(lián)系前一句描述，可知此處指的是，我看到四到五起交通事故，故選C，事故。
小題9:聯(lián)系上下文描述，可知此處指的是沒有真實地上路練習(xí)。故選B，沒有。
小題10:本句主語是由and連接的兩個動名詞短語，表示復(fù)數(shù)含義，故謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)，選D。
小題11:聯(lián)系下文，可知此處指的是通常，司機都很有禮貌。故選A，禮貌的。

小題15:結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是公交車比大部分東西都大，故選B，更大的。
點評：這篇短文內(nèi)容比較簡單，理解不難。各小題與上下文聯(lián)系比較緊密，答題中一定要注意聯(lián)系上下文。答完后多讀幾遍，看看是否符合邏輯，適當(dāng)修改。個別小題可以當(dāng)作單獨的詞義辨析題來做，先區(qū)分詞義，結(jié)合語境選出最能使語句通順的答案。

A greeting is a way of saying "Hello" to someone. People in different countries greet each other in different ways. Here are some.

World Greetings
Philippine
The everyday greeting for friends is a handshake for both men and women. Men some­times pat each other on the back.
Japan
When people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands.
In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card, give it with two hands. This is polite.
Special note: In Japan, a smile can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is happy, or that the person thinks something is funny. But it can also mean that the person is embarrassed.
New Zealand
Usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time.
Fun fact: If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting.
Brazil
Men often shake hands when they meet for the first time.
When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello.
When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness.

It was 12:45 pm on January 2, 2007. 50-year-old Wesley Autrey was waiting for the train at a subway station in New York. His two daughters, aged four and six, were with him.
Suddenly, a sick man fell down on the platform (站臺). The man, 20-year-old Cameron Hollopeter, got up, but then fell again—this time, onto the track between the two rails (道軌). A train was coming into the station. It was a frightening moment.
But Mr Autrey wasn’t frightened. He looked at the man and the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter deep. And he thought, “The train is going to travel over this man. If he tries to get up, the train will kill him. But if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move, he’ll be OK.” So he got an idea.
He jumped down and kept Mr Hollopeter down on the ground. The train driver saw them. He was terrified, but he couldn’t stop in time. The train traveled over the two men before it stopped.
The people on the platform were surprised. When Mr Autrey heard them screaming, he shouted, “We’re OK down here, but I’ve got two daughters up there. Let them know their father is OK.”
In an interview on a TV show, Mr Autrey said, “The only thing that happened to me was my blue hat got dirty.”
小題1:Why did Mr Hollopeter fall on the platform and then the track?
A．Because he was ill.B．Because he walked so fast.
C．Because he was too old.D．Because the subway station was so crowed.
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Mr Autrey was so frightened when he saw what had happened.
B．Mr Autrey thought the space that the man was in was about one meter deep.
C．The train driver saw the two men but he couldn’t stop the train in time.
D．Mr Autrey and Mr Hollopeter were both taken to a hospital.
小題3:Mr Autrey was worried about         when the train stopped.
A．his two daughtersB．Mr HollopeterC．his blue hatD．the train driver
小題4:Mr Autrey lay on top of Mr Hollopeter in order to        .
A．keep him calmB．keep him down
C．keep him warmD．keep him awake
小題5:What’s the best title for the passage?

“Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.
“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (故意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?
If I admitted (承認) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father is going to get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise (舉起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
“I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike (打) a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds (鳥類野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (懲罰). But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.
小題1:How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves?
A．Relaxed.B．Pleased.C．Frightened.D．Guilty.
小題2:What do the underlined words “check out” mean?
A．lend B．borrowC．testD．buy
小題3:What can we learn from the story?
A．The writer’s teacher often hit her students.
B．The writer broke the window when he was catching a bird.
C．The writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake.
D．The writer didn’t want to admit his mistake at the beginning.
小題4:The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______.
A．he who is honest is wiseB．better late than never

I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for an old man who often played his saxophone (薩克斯管) near the river. I couldn’t hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be like that man.
One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue. It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap (皮帶) and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.
Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn’t make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book to find out what to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn’t get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound—loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river in Kobe. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But I wasn’t playing music yet.
Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I’m in the TV studio with my saxophone strapped to my neck and my cap on my head. I’m always thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeiji. I’m a happy man.
小題1:On the bus, the writer couldn’t ________.
A．find an old man with a saxophoneB．see a river
C．hear the old man’s musicD．imagine the sound
小題2:The statue along the river made the writer think of ________.
A．having a saxophone
B．the old man near the river
C．having a cap and a saxophone as the boy
D．playing the saxophone on TV
小題3:The writer could get the saxophone to play ________.
A．a(chǎn)s soon as he got it
B．a(chǎn)fter he read the instruction
C．a(chǎn)fter he tried many times
D．a(chǎn)fter his father taught him
小題4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
