12．There are many differences between America and China．The biggest difference is traffic rules．In America there are too much more cars than in China．But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China．We hardly see traffic police in the street，but all cars obey strictly traffic rules，and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street．
About American traffic rules，there are many better terms，such as：
1．Stop line：There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light （some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines）．All cars must stop while meeting the stop line．
2．Traffic light：There is traffic light in the crossing of the road．Cars may almost turn every direction．The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn．There is a kind of middle lane of turning left．When a car wants to turn left in the road，he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left．When he thinks being safe，he may turn left．In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically．If people want to change lane or turn，they must look behind and think being safe．Only so，they may do it．
3．Specific item：Such as parking，there are three kinds of lines （their colors are white，blue or red） in the roadside．Every line may park different kinds of cars．There are many streets in some residential areas （住宅區(qū)），and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time．In every parking，there are some special positions for invalid （傷殘的） people．
4．About the priority of passenger and car：At any case，passengers have the priority to cars．And only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep，cars may go ahead．
In general，traffic rules of America are very specific，convenient，safe and humanizing．

59．Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in America？C
A．Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules．
B．The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street．
C．There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can't be seen．
D．The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety．
60．Why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road？A
A．It is designed for the cars that want to turn left．
B．It is very safe to drive there．
C．It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules．
D．The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left．
61．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．In America，all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line．
B．In America，any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas．
C．If people want to turn，they can obey the guide of the traffic police．
D．There are more traffic jams in China．
62．What's the best title for the passage？A
A．American Traffic Rules
B．Differences in Traffic Rules between China and America
C．Traffic Jams in America
D．American People Who Obey Traffic Rules．

分析 美國(guó)的車輛中國(guó)多，但是交通事故比中國(guó)少，這是因?yàn)槊绹?guó)的人都嚴(yán)格的遵守交通法規(guī)，文章介紹了一些美國(guó)的交通規(guī)則．

解答 59-62 CADA
59．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第一段可以看出，在美國(guó)很少發(fā)生交通阻塞和交通事故，所有司機(jī)都遵守交通規(guī)則，良好有序的交通規(guī)則對(duì)保障交通暢通起了重要作用．因此沒有必要設(shè)置那么多交通警察．C 項(xiàng)只是陳述事實(shí)，而非原因．選C
60．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第三段即第二條內(nèi)容可以看出，左拐的汽車要先進(jìn)入這條通道并且向其他車輛發(fā)出拐彎信號(hào)．因此這條線路是供左拐的汽車使用的． 選A  
61．D 推理判斷題．由第一段中的"But there are very fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China．"可以判斷 D項(xiàng)正確；由第二段可以判斷A 項(xiàng)不對(duì)；由第四段可以判斷 B 項(xiàng)不對(duì)；由第四段中的"If people want to change lane or turn they must look behind and think being safe．"可以判斷C 項(xiàng)不對(duì)，司機(jī)想拐彎要向后看，而不是遵守交通警察的指揮．選D
62．A 主旨題：縱觀全文和第二段的內(nèi)容：About American traffic rules，there are many better terms，such as：可知這篇文章講的是美國(guó)的交通規(guī)則，選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

2．We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives． Instead of letting the world soften us，we let it drive us deeper into ourselves． We try to ignore the hurt and，pain，but we can't hide from ourselves．（36）F   
    The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely．
    1．Breathe into pain
    Whenever a painful situation arises in your life，try to face it instead of running away（37）GWhen the sadness strikes，take a deep breath and accept it．By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness．
    2．  （38）B  
    We're often confused at the next step to take． Actually，we can try a new decision making process．To start this process，we may ask，"Heart，what decision should I make here？What action feels the most right？"See what comes up，then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome．
    3．Spend time alone
    For most of our lives we're surrounded by people：our friends，family members，and strangers．（39）DWhen you spend time in solitude（孤獨(dú)），you're free from the influences of other people． It might be painful at first，but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life．
    4．Get outside of yourself
       （40）EBut in reality，they actually work hand-in-hand． After you've explored the depths of yourself，you come away with a new understanding．
    Now，it's time to share that-not through telling others，but through being with others．
    A．Have a light heart
    B．Ask your heart what it wants
    C．Is there anything I'm hiding from myself？
    D．How often do we really spend time alone？
    E．This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip．

7．As is shown in a recent study，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type personality they have．Robert Phipps，a body language expert，has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality．
Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal（胎兒的） position．He found that this is by far the most common bedtime position，sleeping on their side with knees up and head down．The more we curl up（蜷曲），the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps．
The second most common position is the log，indicating stubbornness．People sleep with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，and these people （the 28 percent who sleep this way） often wake up stiffer（更僵硬） than when they went to sleep．"The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，"according to Phipps．
Yearner（向往型的） sleepers are next on the list．About 25 percent of people sleep in this style----on their backs with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves．Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting great results，explained Phipps．These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead．
Perhaps the most special sleep style is the freefaller position．This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population．They sleep face down with arms stretched out．These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life．Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles，it also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy．
In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add："A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake．"
55．Which of the following pictures is the fetal position？D

56．The underlined word"rigid"the third paragraph is closest in meaning to"C"．
A．comfortable        B．flexible         C．stubborn        D．strange
57．Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection？C
A．The fetal position                  
B．The log position
C．The yearner position                     
D．The freefaller position
58．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortably？
B．A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day．
C．How you sleep at night affects what you do the next day．
D．Your personality depends a lot on how you sleep at night．

17．Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel．Many people will travel great distances in airplanes，cars or other vehicles．Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air．
One of these is a condition called hypoxia （缺氧癥）．It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain．Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground．The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level．This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground．Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues （組織） in the lungs and reach the bloodstream．
The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood．This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body．
One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache．When this happens，the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster．This can make the traveler feel tired．
These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person．But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems．They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack．
Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen．So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight．They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying．
63．The author writes the passage mainly toC．
A．warn people in airplanes of possible dangers
B．offer some advice on avoiding health problems
C．explain the causes and effects of hypoxia
D．a(chǎn)dvise people not to smoke or drink alcohol
64．According to the passage，what leads to hypoxia？A
A．The brain lacks enough oxygen．
B．The air pressure in a plane is too high．
C．Our body needs less oxygen during takeoff．
D．The bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules．
65．The underlined part"fix the situation"means"D"．
A．use more oxygen it needs            
B．increase the air pressure
C．reduce the amount of blood          
D．bump more blood to the brain
66．Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying？A
A．They weaken the body's ability to use oxygen．
B．Smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane．
C．Drinking alcohol may raise one's blood pressure．
D．Drinking is forbidden at the airport．

4．As we know，most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money．But money is not all powerful．Money can't buy many things such as time and true love．There are 24 hours in a day．Sometimes when we are very happy，we wish that the period of happiness would last longer．But no matter what we do，or how much money we are willing to pay，we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours．On the other hand，when we are unhappy，money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly．True love is another thing which money cannot buy．Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much．Once he dies，he can give us no more love．Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before？Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love．Money can buy us diamond things，beautiful clothes，but never time and love．So money，after all，is not all powerful．

1．Audio digital books（有聲數(shù)字化圖書） are becoming more and more popular these years．One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be"read"in many places comfortably．
The first favorite place for many people is in bed，before going to sleep．There are nights when a person would want to do nothing but lie in bed while going over what has happened in the day．Many people like to just lie in bed in the dark before they fall asleep at night．This would be the perfect time to listen to an audio digital book．If you read an ordinary book，the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand．An audio book can just be listened to while a person stays comfortably in bed．
The next favorite place to listen to audio digital books would be in the kitchen．For some people kitchen chores are boring．Audio digital books provide good entertainment，and people don't need to turn pages．

Another great place would be while exercising．It allows the mind to be free while the legs，body and arms are kept busy．This would be a great place to listen to these books．
The next favourite place would be while commuting（乘車上下班），either on the road to and from work，on buses，trains or even on long flights．They prove to be a good companion（陪伴） and help reduce stress．

59．Why are audio digital books becoming more and more popular these years？C
A．Because they are good．
B．Because they are useful
C．Because they are convenient．
