As my dad unwrapped(打開(kāi)) the new bicycle helmet（頭盔）that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.

Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have potholes and are torn-up (磨損的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places.

Where I live, there has been a law in place since October 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.

One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness(知覺(jué)). When he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan showed that he had a concussion (腦震蕩). That evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.

If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.

1.In the writer’s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?

A. Because a law requires them to do so.

B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.

C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.

D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.

2.The underlined part “we both came to a shocking realization” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.

A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet

B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet

C. we realized that young people needn’t wear helmets

D. only old people should wear helmets

3.From the accident that happened to the writer’s dad, we can infer that ___________.

A. the cyclists should follow the law

B. his dad was not worried about this accident

C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets

D. everyone should care about life

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)

It was an extremely hot day. My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in the stream behind Mr Blickez’s house, because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down. Across his farm and through some woods was a deep swimming hole supplied by several cold springs(泉).

The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean Hereford bull(公牛). Mr Blickez had told us that Elsie, the animal’s name, was the meanest bull in town, maybe even the county, and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was reason to doubt about what he said. For one thing, we remembered Mr Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm, and Mr Blickez finally agreed.

On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldn’t wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was licking(舔) his back. I immediately hid under the fence. However, when I looked up, I saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull at all. She was just a friendly young cow, and she was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.

When we discovered the truth, we were so happy. We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in. The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed. After that day, we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”.

1.The author and his brother decided to go to swim because __________.

A. there was no water to take a shower at home

B. the weather was so hot that they couldn’t stand it

C. Mr Blickez invited them to his house for swimming

D. they wanted to try their newly-found swimming hole

2. What was the problem faced by the author and his brother?

A. They didn’t know where to swim.

B. They had to face a very mean bull.

C. Their mother didn’t want them to swim.

D. They didn’t know how to get to the stream.

3.What can we know about Mr Blickez?

A. He often tells lies.

B. He is very shy.

C. He is an honest man.

D. He is very kind to children.

4.When Elsie saw the author’s brother, she __________.

A. tried to attack him

B. immediately ran away

C. showed her friendliness

D. tried to drive him away

A long time ago there lived a poor slave whose name was Aesop. His face was white, but very homely. When Aesop was about twenty nine years old his master lost a great deal of money and was determined to sell his slaves. To do this, he had to take them to a large city where there was a slave market.

The city was far away, and the slaves must walk the whole distance. A number of bundles(成捆的東西) were made up for them to carry. Some of these bundles contained the things they would need on the road. "Choose your bundles, boys," said the master. "There is one for each of you." Aesop at once chose the largest one. The other slaves laughed and said he was foolish. But he threw it upon his shoulders and seemed well satisfied. The next day, the laugh was the other way. For the bundle which he had chosen had contained the food for the whole party.

"Aesop is a wise fellow," said his master. "The man who buys him must pay a high price.” A very rich man, whose name was Xanthus, wanted a servant. As the slaves stood before him he asked each one to tell what kind of work he could do. All were eager to be bought by Xanthus because they knew he would be a kind master. So each one boosted of his skill in doing some sort of labor. One was a fine gardener; another could take care of horses; a third was a good cook; a fourth could manage a household. "And what can you do, Aesop?" asked Xanthus. "Nothing," he answered. "Nothing? How is that?" "Because, since these other slaves do everything, there is nothing left for me to perform," said Aesop.

This answer pleased the rich man so well that he bought Aesop at once, and took him to his home on the island of Samos. In Samos the little slave soon became known for his wisdom and courage. He often amused his master and his master's friends by telling funny stories. His master was so much pleased with him that he gave him his freedom.

1.Why did the slaves’ master want to sell his slaves?

A. Because the slaves didn’t work at all.

B. Because the slaves could be well paid.

C. Because the master was badly ill

D. Because the master was in need of money

2.It can be inferred from the text that Aesop chose the largest bundle because_______.

A. he was very strong.

B. he was really foolish.

C. the bundle would make him stronger.

D. the bundle would be lighter and lighter.

3.Why did these slaves want to be bought by Xanthus ?

A. Because he was very merciful.

B. Because he was very rich.

C. Because he lived in Samos.

D. Because he would set them free.

4.According to the text, Aesop ________.

A. was known for his hard work.

B. didn’t like to work at all.

C. was good at telling stories.

D. was tired of his courage.
