Distracted, Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasn’t in a real car—she was in a driving simulator(模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio, US. “I never really realized that cars made a turn that much，” Amanda, a junior, said. She added that she wouldn’t text while driving anymore.The Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) and Ohio State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, texting, or talking on the phone.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving claimed 3，450 lives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a steering wheel(方向盘), brake and gas pedal(油门). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving：how much damage they’ve caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they’re going to go to prison.“It teaches how to drive without being on the road，” said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates.“Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously，” he said. “Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but change someone else’s life forever. The results are serious.”【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一个驾驶模拟器，学生通过操作这个驾驶模拟器可以增强交通安全意识。1．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?A．Introduce the topic of the text.B．Illustrate the author’s point of view.C．Provide some advice for the readers.D．Offer some background information.A　解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段讲述了一个事例，然后通过这个事例引出了本文的话题，即driving simulator。由此可推知，作者写第一段的目的是引出文章的主题，故选A。2．Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School?A．It tests the students’ ability to stay focused.B．It gets students to have fun between classes.C．It teaches students how to deal with traffic accidents.D．It makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving.D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, texting, or talking on the phone.”可知，他们想要帮助学生们了解醉酒、发短信或者打电话时驾车的危害，故选D。3．What can we know about the driving simulator?A．It is connected to the local police station.B．It is a real car but has large computer screens.C．It attracts the students’ interest as a computer program.D．It benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch.C　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的描述，尤其是“The simulator is basically a computer program.

But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720­foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre’s management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心在节日高峰期引进快速通道一事。1．The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who________．A．can’t move quickly because of physical disabilitiesB．buy things on their shopping lists quicklyC．take their time to do window shoppingD．want to leave the mall quicklyB　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.”和第二段最后一句“The centre’s management team said, ‘The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.’”可推知，快速通道是为那些想迅速购物的人而设计的，故选B。2．What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?A．Supportive.　　　　　　　　 B．Indifferent.C．Critical.   D．Objective.D　解析：观点态度题。根据对第四段及第五段的整体理解可知，Gary Mortimer对快速通道进行了全面的评论，既肯定了快速通道的优点，又看到了其潜在的劣势，因此他的态度是客观的，故选D。3．Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?A．Skaters.   B．Dodgers.C．Bulldozers.   D．Tutters.A　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“‘Skaters’ who try and make their way through crowds politely”可推知，Skaters在购物时会耐心地跟在缓慢的人群后，故选A。4．What is the main idea of the text?A．Shopping can be annoying sometimes.B．How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.C．The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.D．The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.D　解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段开篇点题，并结合对全文的整体理解可知，本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心引进快速通道，从而在节日高峰期使购物迅速的人避开购物缓慢的人的新闻，故选D。B(2020·陕西部分学校摸底)While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.Why isn’t complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马), which plays a vital role in problem­solving, to become smaller.In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol(皮质醇), a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力)．The ill effects of our complaining aren’t just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well­being.What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all round? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.【解题导语】　研究发现，抱怨与消极性密切相关，除了导致脑损伤，抱怨还会释放皮质醇，持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力低下，而感恩却与之相反，会带来很多益处；人们在生活中要少点抱怨，多些感恩。5．What do Paras. 2－3 mainly talk about?A．The diseases caused by complaining.B．The decrease of a vital part of our brain.C．The bad effects of complaining on brain power.D．The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.C　解析：段落大意题。根据第二段第一、二句和第三段第一句“Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there.”可知，第二、三段主要讲的是抱怨对人的脑力的不良影响。故选C项。6．What can we know about cortisol from the passage?A．Gratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.B．Our body produces cortisol when we feel excited.C．Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.D．Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in...immunity(免疫力)．”可知，高水平的皮质醇会导致很多健康问题。故选D项。7．What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers?A．Grateful.   B．Tolerant.C．Disapproving.   D．Skeptical.C　解析：观点态度题。根据第五段的内容尤其是最后一句“For this reason, we should be cautious about...companions.”可知，抱怨者也会对身边的人有不好的影响，因此作者认为身边有顽固的抱怨者时要小心，由此可推知，作者对抱怨者持不赞成的态度。故选C项。8．Where can the passage most probably appear?A．In a newspaper.B．In a medical report.C．On a website.D．In a radio program.C　解析：文章出处题。根据最后一段最后一句“Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.”可知，本文很可能出现在一个网站上。故选C项。Ⅱ.读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching a middle­aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked，“Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles？”“Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me，”she replied.“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today，”said the man.“Come in.”The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, and the smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.“What is it？”asked the man kindly.“Nothing. Actually I was just touched by your kindness！”said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”Hearing the words, the seller smiled，“Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her？”Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands.“Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me？”On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.Paragraph 1：Approaching the doorway, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2：A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________One possible version：Paragraph 1：Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house.“Where might my mother be？”she wondered.“Is she really so angry with me that she doesn’t want to show any care for me？”Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother, and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.Paragraph 2：A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes.“Here you come! I’ve been looking for you，”came the tired voice. Jenny couldn’t help but throw herself into her mother’s arms.“I’m sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.”She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude. Then she felt the hug tightened.
