【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。洛杉矶人热爱汽车，但太多人驾车出行堵塞交通。于是越来越多人骑自行车。他们试图用自己的方式应对无解的交通难题。

【答案精析】

1．C 考查动词辨析。walk“步行”； run“跑步”； drive“开车”；ride“骑车”。由上文所述，洛杉矶的人们爱汽车，城市大，公共交通工具慢，因此可以推断到处都是人开车出门。故选C。

1

2．D 考查形容词辨析。convenient“便利的”；easy“容易的”；big“大的”； heavy“(交通)拥堵的”。由前文路上到处是车，可以得知交通拥堵。

3．D 考查名词辨析。ways“道路”；cars“汽车”； on foot“步行”；bikes“自行车”。由前文bicyclists“骑自行车者”以及后文列举越来越多人骑自行车的例子可知选D。

4．C 考查形容词辨析。dangerous“危险的”；busy“忙碌的”；careful“小心的”；excited“激动的”。由后文Devon Fitzgerald所述，周围的人都匆匆忙忙行驶，不顾安全，所以可以推断出他骑自行车时不得不小心翼翼。故选C。

5．A 考查名词辨析。 rush“急冲”； mess“一团糟”； duty“职责”； holiday“假期”。通过后文“they would rather care for their speed”，可知人们骑车速度很快，故选A。

6．B 考查代词辨析。his“他的”；your“你的”；her“她的”；their“他们的”。由句意“他们宁可关心他们自己的车速，也不顾其他路人的安全，”这里是接受采访跟记者说的话，所以用your指代听者们。故选B。

7．A 考查形容词辨析。 simple“简单的”； difficult“困难的”； dangerous“危险的”； useful“有用的”。由后文骑自行车与开汽车相比的优势可知，骑自行车更简单，不需要考虑停车的问题。故选A。

8．B 考查动词辨析。talk“谈论”；worry“担心”；dream“梦想”； hear“听说”。句意为“我永远不必担心停车的问题”worry about“担心”，故选B。

9．C 考查代词辨析。another“另一个”； other“其他的”； the other“两者中的另一个”； others“其他的人或物”。因为道路有两边，故选C。

10．A 考查不定代词辨析。someone“某人”；anyone“任何人”；everyone“每个人”；no one“没有人”。由句意“你不能停止担心有人可能会骑车冲过来”，故选A。

11．B 考查副词辨析。 never“从不”； easily“容易地”； slowly“慢慢地”；always“总是”。因为总是害怕有人会骑自行车冲出来，这样的心态很容易出车祸，故选B。

12．C 考查名词辨析。working“工作”；moving“移动”；feeling“感觉”；thinking“思考”。由上文，fearing是一种感觉，心里总有一种害怕的感觉所以容易出车祸。故选C。

13．B 考查动词辨析。discover“发现”；create“创造”；remember“记住”；play“玩；演奏”。由语境可知句意为“Nona Varnado帮忙创办了一个叫L.A. Bike Trains的团体”，故选B。

14．C 考查名词辨析。 danger“危险”； freedom“自由”；safety“安全”； fear“害怕”。由后文，和一些有经验的自行车手骑车可以获得安全感，故选C。

15．D 考查连词辨析。Because“因为”；Although“虽然”；Unless“除非”； If“如果”。由后文，你可以和有经验的自行车爱好者一起骑车，所以可以推断前文的意思是“如果你害怕一个人骑车的话”，if引导的条件状语从句，主句可以用情态动词。故选D。

B

请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给的词的适当形式填空。每个词限用一次。

bad middle stop throw when safe user without talk careful Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They also help to keep people 1 safe.The pedestrian(行人) has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk at the sidewalk or at the side of the road. Always look 2 carefully before you walk across the street. If you like riding a bike, don't ride in the 3 middle of the road or run through red traffic lights. When you ride a bike with a friend,

2

don't look around or 4 talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt. The driver and the passengers may be 5 badly hurt in a sudden accident 6 without wearing the belt. Someone may be 7 thrown out through the window. You may not need to drive a bus, but take care if you have to travel in one. Get in or get off a bus only when it has come to a 8 stop. 9 When it is full, don't try to get inside or you may fall off. Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim(格言)for all road 10 users is “thinking about others”．

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了交通规则能帮助人们保证安全，并分别介绍了步行安全知识；骑自行车，驾驶汽车以及乘公交车时的安全知识。

【答案精析】 1．safe keep＋sb.＋形容词，表示“使某人保持怎么样”，再结合语境可知句意为“交通规则帮助人们保持安全。”故填safe。

2．carefully 修饰动词应用副词，结合语境可知此处表示“行人过马路时应该仔细看”。故填careful的副词形式carefully。故填middle。

3．middle 由语境可知此处表示“骑自行车时，不要在道路的中间骑”。in the middle of...“在……的中间”。为固定用法。故填middle。

4．talk 由前面的or可知此处应填与look around并列的动词原形，再由句意“和朋友一起骑自行车时不要到处看或者交谈。”可知填talk。

5．badly 由语境可知句意为“司机和乘客可能在突发事故中严重受伤”，此处应填副词badly表示程度，修饰动词hurt，“严重受伤”，故填badly。

6．without 由前文“司机和乘客可能在突发事故中严重受伤”和后文的“wearing the belt”可知此处可以填介词without。

7．thrown 由前后文的意思，如果不系上安全带，有时候可能会被甩出车窗外，be 动词后接动词的过去分词表示被动语态，所以应该填throw的过去分词thrown。

8．stop 分析句子可知此处需要一个名词，结合语境可知此句意为“我们只能在车子到站时上下车”，结合备选单词可知填stop。

9．When 空格后为一个完整的句子，此处应该填连词When，引导时间状语从句。句意为“当公交车满载时，不要上车。”

10．users 句意为“对所有道路使用者来说，格言就是‘为他人考虑’。”all the road users意思是“所有的道路使用者”，因前面有all，所以要用复数形式。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation(交通)．

Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollution. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the poisonous air when it warms up before it can work well.

James, a member of Congress(国会), is a strong sustainer of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles

in cities and between communities.

Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.

C．American government suggests people riding bicycles.

D．Many Americans ride bicycles to support environment protection.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了许多美国人更愿意把车留在家里骑自行车去上班。这对于环境保护来说是一个好的现象。政府官员说未来将会建立专门的城市和社区自行车道。

【答案精析】

1．C 段落理解题。由第一段第一句“Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles.”可知这就是所谓的news，在美国有越来越多的人骑自行车。故选C。

2．B 词义猜测题。fresh“新鲜的”； harmful“有害的”； clean“干净的”；waste“浪费的，废弃的”。由第二段倒数第二句“Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive.”可知汽车发动时会排放出造成空气污染的有害气体，故选B。

3．B 单词指代题。由上句“这是因为汽车引擎会释放有害气体。”可知it在这里指代的是汽车引擎。故选B。

4．D 主旨大意题。由上下文可以得知，本文是说自行车爱好者用实际行动支持环保，政府也支持他们。A选项没有提到环保这一主旨；B、C项与原文不符。故选D。

B
