(2020·合肥高三聯(lián)考)Two deer jumped out in front of 16-year-old Amanda Floyd’s car. She put on the brake, stopping the car just in time. But later, she started texting. 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(模擬器) 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(方向盤), brake and gas pedal(油門). 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.”

(2020·河南六市高三聯(lián)考)Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. 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 720-foot “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.
【解題導語】 本文主要介紹了英國一家大型購物中心在節(jié)日高峰期引進快速通道一事。
1.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who________.
A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities
B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly
C.take their time to do window shopping
D.want to leave the mall quickly
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)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,快速通道是為那些想迅速購物的人而設計的,故選B。
2.What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?
A.Supportive.         B.Indifferent.
C.Critical. D.Objective.
D 解析:觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)對第四段及第五段的整體理解可知,Gary Mortimer對快速通道進行了全面的評論,既肯定了快速通道的優(yōu)點,又看到了其潛在的劣勢,因此他的態(tài)度是客觀的,故選D。
3.Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?
A.Skaters. B.Dodgers.
C.Bulldozers. D.Tutters.
A 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句中的“‘Skaters’ who try and make their way through crowds politely”可推知,Skaters在購物時會耐心地跟在緩慢的人群后,故選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.

(2020·陜西部分學校摸底)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(海馬), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol(皮質醇), 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 well-being.
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.
【解題導語】 研究發(fā)現(xiàn),抱怨與消極性密切相關,除了導致腦損傷,抱怨還會釋放皮質醇,持續(xù)高水平的皮質醇會導致高血壓、高血糖和免疫力低下,而感恩卻與之相反,會帶來很多益處;人們在生活中要少點抱怨,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:段落大意題。根據(jù)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、三段主要講的是抱怨對人的腦力的不良影響。故選C項。
6.What can we know about cortisol from the passage?
A.Gratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.

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 middle-aged 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.

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.
