【解析】

【文章大意】70多歲的老太太開車闖了紅燈, 在警察面前她輕松地把線穿過針眼, 這不僅避免了懲罰, 還使多年安全開車的紀錄得以保持。

1.選A。詞語辨析題。結(jié)合句意分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知空格后的句子“that she had never. . . been punished　　　a driving offence. ”是她為之驕傲的具體內(nèi)容, 即與要填入的名詞為同位關(guān)系, 故用fact(事實)。action行動; skill技能; age年齡, 都不能與that從句形成同位語。

2.2】選D。習(xí)語搭配題。根據(jù)句意“她很自豪35年來從來沒有因為違反交通法規(guī)而受到懲罰。”, punish sb. for sth. 由于某事而懲罰某人。

3.3】選D。邏輯推理題。結(jié)合上文知道她始終保持著35年來沒違規(guī)的紀

錄, 但下文說到她闖了紅燈, 因此說那天她差點丟了這個紀錄。lose丟掉, 符合句意。keep a record保持紀錄。

4.4】選C。背景常識題。警車跟在她后面, 用followed, 而watched不妥, 因為主語是警車, 而不是人。chase追趕, 根據(jù)上下文可知動作發(fā)生在警察發(fā)現(xiàn)她闖紅燈之前, 警車在此之前沒有理由追趕她或阻攔(stop)她。

5.5】選A。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)下文的without stopping可知她pass a red light(闖紅燈), 如用go, 則要用go by。

6.6】選C。習(xí)語搭配題。此處缺少表語形容詞, 因為主語為it, 相當(dāng)于it is certain that句式, 故用certain, 不用sure, able, 因為sure, able常以人作主語; like一般不用于這一句式。

7.7】選B。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)下文第三段的內(nèi)容可知對她的行為及年齡做出評論的是the judge, 故選B項。

8.8】選C。習(xí)語搭配題。根據(jù)句意“她年紀太大了不能再開車了”可知這里是too. . . to. . . 結(jié)構(gòu), 表示“太……而不能……”。

9.9】選B。詞語辨析題。reason是說明某事或某現(xiàn)象的理由, 而cause則指火災(zāi)、水災(zāi)或事故的起因。此處在考查固定句式: the reason why. . . is that. . . ……的原因是……。

10.0】選A。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)上文可知她沒有在紅燈時停下來�！凹t燈”用red light。

11.1】選A。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)句意“由于年齡老了, 她的視力不行了�！笨芍x表示原因的介詞, 解釋引起前面形容詞weak的原因要用介詞with, 此處相當(dāng)于because of。

12.2】選B。邏輯推理題。在賓語從句中what很顯然作的是動詞的賓語, 可排除speak, 因為講某種語言時它才是及物動詞; 強調(diào)說話的內(nèi)容用say。

13.3】選C。詞語辨析題。根據(jù)句意可知她拿出了隨身攜帶的手提包。表示隨身攜帶, 不強調(diào)方向性, 用carry, 而bring則表示由遠往近帶來。

14.4】選D。詞語辨析題。此處是挑了一根小眼的針, 用took, brought和picked都要加up或out。

15.5】選C。邏輯推理題。從下文內(nèi)容來看, 老太太顯然是成功了。修飾動詞用副詞。

16.6】選A。詞語辨析題。根據(jù)句意可知此處指針和線兩者, 所以用both。

17.7】選B。習(xí)語搭配題。it’s your turn表示輪到你了。很顯然老太太想讓警察穿針來證明她眼神很好。

18.8】選D。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)后面說他要thread it, 可知他要把線穿過針眼。剛談過針線之事。

19.9】選A。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)警察和老太太穿針的對比, 證明了警察的結(jié)論是錯誤的, 所以警察的指控是錯誤的, 故老太太的案子被取消了。be dismissed被取消了。

20.20】選D。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知老太太的35年未違規(guī)的紀錄仍然沒被打破。remained“依然是”, 表示過去是這樣, 現(xiàn)在仍然保持這一狀態(tài)。seemed語氣不夠肯定; kept此處應(yīng)用was kept。

Henry Ford grew up on an un-electrified farm, and as a young man he followed Edison's career as the inventor became a national role model. Ford took a job at the Edison Illuminating Company working his way up to chief engineer．

In 1896 Ford was thirty-three and, though still working for Edison Co., he had created his first experimental automobile the Ford Quadricycle2 during his off-time. At an Edison company party in New York, Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison and was able to explain his new automobile to the great inventor. Edison was impressed. Edison is said to have slammed his fist down_and shouted, “Young man, that's the thing! You have it! Your car is self-contained and carries its own power plant.” Edison himself had been working on the idea, but had only been considering electricity as the power source, so the idea of a gas engine was a somewhat new one．

The words comforted Ford greatly, who immediately set out building a second car which was to become the Model-T.6. The two men became fast friends and would go on camping trips together．When Edison later became limited to a wheelchair, Ford brought an extra one to his house so they could race．At the 50th anniversary of the invention of light-bulb, Ford honored Edison．When Edison spoke, he ended his speech directed at Ford, “ As to Henry Ford, words fail to express my feelings．I can only say that he is my friend.” Therefore it is no surprise that Ford wanted something to remember Edison by after he passed away in 1931.

Once, Ford asked Thomas Edison's son Charles to sit by the dying inventor's bedside and hold a test tube next to his father's mouth to catch his final breath. Ford was a man with many strange behaviors (as was Edison) including some interest in reanimation and spiritualism（夏活通靈術(shù)）and some say that he was attempting to catch Edison's soul as it escaped his body in hopes of later bringing the inventor back to life.

The test tube itself didn't turn up until 1950 when it was listed in the Ford possessions after Clara Ford's passing away, and then lost again until 1978 when it was discovered in an exhibit Entitled “Henry Ford-A Personal History” in the Henry Ford Museum. It would then be discovered that the tube was labeled “Edison's Last Breath”.

There is a further mystery of this “l(fā)ast breath” test tube．It would seem as if Edison had quite a last breath indeed, as the Edison Estate holds a collection of 42 test tubes all supposedly containing Edison's last breath．

Regardless of the excitement over the last breath, the test tube is quite touching in its meaning．Although both men were known for all sorts of poor behavior towards their loved ones and mistreatment of employees, between them at least, there was clearly a deep respect and admiration．

1.The purpose of the author writing this passage is to .

A. remind the readers of the importance of the two inventors

B. stress the importance of friendship

C. tell the readers some stories about the two inventors

D. show that love can lead to some poor behaviors

2.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can learn that .

A. Edison envied what Ford had achieved

B. Edison was annoyed that Ford did better than him

C. Edison was angry because Ford stole his idea

D. Edison was extremely amazed at Ford's new idea

3.“The 1ast breath test tube” can probably be regarded as .

A. a symbol of a friendship and memory

B. a witness to a scientific breakthrough

C. a failure to bring Edison back to life

D. a sign of the two inventors' poor behavior

4.It can be learned from the last paragraph that“ ”.

A. Great minds think alike

B. Nobody is perfect

C. Two heads are better than one

D. A friend in need is a friend indeed

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.

     In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this,they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (預(yù)算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.

Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

     Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.

     Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.

     Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up.

1.Parents give their children allowances in order to _____.

A. show off their wealth of family

B. let them make more money

C. learn the value of money

D. help children manage family finance

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The time to give allowances.

B. The way to spend alloweances.

C. the amount of allowances given to children.

D. Considerations taken to give allowances.

3.Why are parents adivsed to offer young children allowances strictly as planned?

A. To help children learn to make a budget.

B. To have children save money for larger costs.

C. To let children make fewer mistakes.

D. To give them more allowances next time.

4.What does the author intend to tel lthe readers?

A. The methods of limiting allowances.

B. The advice on a better family budget.

C. Teaching children to use allowances wisely.

D. Offering allowances to children properly.
