AA 24-yearold man in Hanghou, the capital of hejiang province, drove his car into the West Lae after accidentally stepping on the accelerator while searching for his phone in the vehicle. The man said he had ben playing with his phone while driving last month but suddenly dropped the handset, according to the Ministry of Public Security’s traffic Management Bureau.The man escaped from the car through a window and swam bac to shore. The incident was just one eample that has prompted traffic management authorities to warn that drivers ris death or injury if they use their smartphones while on the road. Around 20 percent of drivers use their phones while driving to mae calls, send tet messages or chec their social media accounts. The bureau said that with the number of smartphone users in China estimated at around 500 million and rising, using phones while driving has become the second most popular bad habit among drivers after failing to wear safety belts. Its warning was prompted by the obsession（沉迷）for using smartphones while ignoring the surrounding environment. The bureau said that looing for mobile phones while driving increases the chances of a traffic accident nine times, while sending a tet message increases the chances 23 times.hang Lei, a doctor at Beijing Emergency Medical Center, said the number of injuries caused by the obsession with mobile phone use has risen in the city in recent years. Cases include pedestrians bumping into other people, falling over and breaing their bones while waling and using their smartphones. He added that as more people become reliant on or addicted to using smartphones, safety has become an increasing problem.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The man was lucy to have escaped from the car thans to a ind passer-by.B. Pedestrians ris no death or injury while waling and using their smartphones.C.

The passage mainly tells us to ________.A. form the habit of wearing safety beltsB. stay off smartphones while on the roadC. reduce the chances of traffic accidentsD. concern the surroundings while driving23. This passage is most probably ________.A. a travel journalB. a safety guideC. a research paperD. a news reportBOn Christmas Eve, 1944, my grandmother urged my uncle, then 12 years old, to slip out of the concentration camp where they were imprisoned, nearly 15 miles east of Vienna to go begging.“People are charitable around Christmastime.”Grandma Lili said to her son, Gyuri (George in Hungarian), “As for scraps. Anything they can spare. Tel them that we’re on the verge of starvation. Tell then that your 3-year-old sister cannot get of the bed because she’s outgrown her shoes.”“I don’t want to beg,”retorted the boy. “I’d rather steal.”“That’s wrong,”scolded his mother. “We are not thieves!”They argued bac and forth. After a time, her son acquiesced.In the dar of night, Gyuri snuc out of the camp between two wooden slats and waled nearly four miles to Deutsch-Wagram, the closest town, shivering in his tattered clothing. On the outsirts he happened upon a house, secluded from the others. He waled up the path and noced on the front door.A woman opened that door. She was probably alone, her man far away, fighting in the war, her children asleep in their beds. And it is liely that she suspected that the young boy was Jewish. The 12-year-old pieced together in German eactly what his mother had told him to say.Did he hide his ambivalence about begging? Did he charm her even then with his gift of gab?“Come bac tomorrow,”whispered the woman.The net day, my uncle returned. The woman opened the door with a smile. She piled his hands with bread, clothing, a pair of shoes that her child had outgrown. And…a pair of socs. The woman had nitted warm socs for my mother.Nestled in socs and shoes that fit, my mother scooted off the bed in delight. Her ragged shoeswere passed on to a younger child who was also living in the camp. My mother joined her mother and elder brother in feasting on the provisions they were given. They shared their unepected bounty with the entire baracs. It was a quiet celebration of human indness around Christmastime.In April 1945, my mother, uncle and grandmother were liberated by the Russians. And it was those very socs and shoes that my mother wore as she treed some 28 miles over two days to Bratislava on her wal to a new life. She was three months shy of 4 years old.Grandma Lili had a gorgeous laugh and a mischievous sense of humor. Even during the Holocaust. She used to tease my mom, “you can tell fols that you spent your childhood in the Vienna Woods.”To the anonymous Righteous Gentile, I than you. Than you for nitting with your hands the pair of socs that warmed my mom’s little feet and sinny legs. Than you for finding those shoes and clothing and giving them to a stranger. Than you for sharing your bread during wartime. In the desperation of a battered land, cold and snowy, when many hearts were closed and death was more liely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them light. You gave them indheartedness. You gave thema measure of sustenance that I can only imagine.24. What did Gyuri manage to do on Christmas Eve, 1944?A. He fled the concentration camp.B. He begged for what his family needed.C. He stole some food and clothing.D. He celebrated Christmas in the camp.25. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. Grandma Lili had a sense of humorB. the woman was full of hatred to JewsC. Gyuri could spea German fluentlyD. the author was also living in the camp26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce the suffering of Jews during the war.B. To describe people’s life in the concentration camp.C. To prove his grandmother’s wisdom during wartime.D. To show the appreciation for an act of indheartedness.C“If you tae care of the birds, you tae care of most of the big environmental problems in the world.”That’s what Thomas Lovejoy, a well-nown biologist, says. He helped introduce the term “biological diversity”to the world. And he long ago predicted that by early in the 21st century, the Earth would start losing a surprising number of species-a prediction, unfortunately, that is turning out to be spot-on.We were taen with what Lovejoy said about birds and decided to use it as a launch pad（跳板）for maing 2018 as the Year of the Bird by National Geographic. Hopefully, this will help raise people’s awareness of this problem. In this 12-month multiplatform eploration, we’ll eamine how our changing environment is leading to great losses among bird species around the globe. And just as important, we’ll record what we can do about it.At National Geographic we’ve been looing at the planet’s health from a bird’s-eye view for a long time. This magaine has featured birds on its cover more often than it has featured other popular creatures-at least 30 times, 13 times compared with apes. And the National Geographic Society has awarded hundreds of funds for the scientific study of birds.In 2018, we’ll tae our coverage of topics affecting birds to a new level. In this issue we launch a year of storytelling with “Why Birds Matter”, an essay by best-selling author Jonathan Franen. It’s paired with remarable photographs of birds created by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore.Why is National Geographic focusing so much attention on birds? That’s just another way of asing, as Franen does. Why do birds matter? Among his fluent answers “They are our last, best connection to a natural world that is otherwise moving gradually away from us.”27. The underlined word “spot-on”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. successfulB. trueC. ridiculousD. uncertain28. The year 2018 is called the Year of Birds in order to ________.A. introduce a wide diversity of birdsB. show concern over birds’disappearanceC. draw public attention to decreasing bird speciesD. eamine the environmental influences on birds29. What can we now about National Geographic?A. It focuses more on birds than other creatures.B. It offers sums of money to research on birds.C. It’s the last connection between man and nature.D. It’s popular with famous biologists and authors.30. What is the best title for the passage?A. This Is Why Birds Are ey to Conservation.B. Birds Play a ey Role in the Natural World.C. Biologists Devote Themselves to Bird Protection.D. It Is High Time to Tae Care of the Nature.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
