Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.26. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.27. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.28. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.29. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game30. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C. Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossingsD. To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait fo r a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.31. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When they don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.32. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.33. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.34. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.35. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball.He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average.Leo was a hero to people everywhere, but it was the children that he felt closest to. He frequently visited hospitals to talk with sick children. He never got married so he always spent Christmas day with children who didn’t have any parents. The children liked him as much as Santa Claus.In 1937 Leo had a bad year. After he hit 52 home runs again in 1938, the Canaries decided to trade him. Talks were being held with the Blue Birds an the Robins when Leo said that he was going to retire. He said he would never play for a team other than the Canaries.After leaving baseball Leo had several different jobs. First he had a job as PR (public relations) man for a sporting goods company. He didn’t enjoy the work, though, and he quit after one year. Then he tried working as a sports writer. Since he was not such a good writer, however, he soon gave that up, too.Finally in 1940, he began working as a radio announcer for baseball games. He became very popular because he made the game sound so exciting. During the next fifteen years he added much to the language of baseball. But as TV became more and more popular Leo decided to quit announcing. He moved back to New York where he is still active in teaching children to play baseball.36. Which team did Leo play for?A. The Canaries.B. The Robins.C. The Orioles.D. The Blue Birds.37. When was Leo’s best year as a player?A. 1938.B. 1936.C. 1931.D. 1937.38. What job did Leo have the longest?A. Playing baseball.B. Working as a PR man.C. Announcing on the radio.D. Working as a sports writer.39. Why did Leo quit announcing?A. Because he was going to be traded.B. Because he became a sports writer.C. Because he went back to New York.D. Because TV became popular.40. Why did Leo Frangio become popular as a radio announcer?A. He was a very good baseball player.B. He made the game sound exciting.C. He made the game win.D. He was loved by children very much.

They are also concerned about “sharenting” – when parents postpictures of them on social media without their permission – and wor ry that their parents won’t Array listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, which was created with data from focus group interviews with 8- to 12- year- olds, says, that although most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an estimated (估计) 75 percent of 10- to 12- year- old have a social account.Some of them are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11- year- old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some ch ildren described feeling inferior (下级的) to those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “You might compare yourself because you’re not very pretty compared to them.”Children’s officer of England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teacher s to do more to prepare children for the emotion impact of social media as they get older. She wants to see the courses set for students in year 6 and 7.“It is also clear that social media companies are still not doing enough to stop under-13s using their platform in the first place,” Longfield said.“Just because a child has learned the safety messages at primary school does not mean they are prepared for all the challenges that social media will present,” Longfield said.“It means a bigger role for schoo ls in making sure children are prepared for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies need to take more responsibility,” Longfield said.1、What can we learn from the report?A．An increasingly number of 7- year- olds are being exposed to social media.B．Social media occupied too much time for secondary school students.C．Many secondary school students suffer from social media-related stress.D．The use of social networking is causing relationship problem with friends.2、Some students in year 7 are concerned .A．about how they are seen on social media sites.B．about becoming addicted to social media.C．that their parents will monitor their use of social media.D．that their parents won’t allow them to post pictures.3、From the report, it can be concluded that some 10- to 12- year- old children .A．tend to copy the celebrities they follow. Array B．wish to be recognized by others.C．ignore the number of likes they get.D．feel inferior to their followers.4、Anne Longfield suggests that .A．parents monitor how their children use social media.B．social media companies set an official age limit of 13.C．social media companies create special sites for children under 13.D．schools help equip students for the challenge of social media.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．According to legend, a young man, while wandering the desert, came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water.
