B

    Everyone that lives in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc, knows that there is a lot of traffic! Wherever you go, you can see the crowded streets with cars, buses, bikes and people. It seems that everyone is always in a hurry! In such a situation, accidents might happen. But if we all slow down a little and pay more attention to the traffic rules, accidents will be avoided (避免).  However, sometimes the fact isn’t like that!

    How many times have you tried to cross the street even when the light has become red? It seems as if it would be so easy to just quickly run across, or rush in between cars and buses. But this causes a dangerous problem. Crossing the street when the light is red will only save you a few seconds ; it is not worth (值得) risking your life.

    When was growing up, my mother always told me the two sayings “ Better safe than sorry. ” and “ Better late than never.” That’s to say, it is always better to be careful and arrive safely at the place where you hope to go. Things would not be much worse if everyone would wait their turn to cross the street.

四、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

    In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages. Bicycles have long played an important part in the lives of young American people. And today even a greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.

    This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With these added people on the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.

    Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they will not be badly hurt if an accident happens. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic, nor carry other people on their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to "walk bicycles across the busy intersections (交叉路口)". Following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe. While there is life there is hope.

    In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets(头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries(伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down. Today, more and more riders realize the danger of bicycling. They wear helmets and pay much more attention to the cycling rules.

1.根据短文内容完成句子。(每空限填一个单词)

From the third paragraph of the passage, we know bicyclists aren't supposed to ride _____ the traffic or carry another person _____ their bicycles.

2.根据短文内容完成句子。(每空限填一个单词)

After crash helmets were _____ in 1980, fewer people got injured and fewer people _____ from bicycling accidents.

According to the National Safety Council's report, what's the total number of injuries in highway accidents in one recent year?

__________________________________________

An Accident

Last Wednesday afternoon, three students were on their way back home.

One of the students called the police, one dialed 120, and the third one took care of the middle-aged man. Soon the police came and they reported what they had seen and an ambulance took the wounded to the hospital soon.
