Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; its a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and its time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldnt some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also its dangerous for the rest of us.25. The first paragraph is written in order to show_. A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safetyC. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless26. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving _.A. over eighty-five B. between sunset and dawnC. with the help of voice warning systems D. under the influence of prescription drugs27. The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”.A. disappointing B. worrying C. touching D. interesting28. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. How to keep old people safe on the road?B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?CI first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpaypaying it forward for a future customers meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.“I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a handout,” Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically dont feel good about going there.“One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood whether its a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am-1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasnt the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.29. What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer?A. She enjoyed a meal. B.

People can maintain their dignity.C. People can stay as long as they like. D. People can find their places in society.31. Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods?A. They bring people true friendships. B. They help to bring people together.C. They create a lot of job opportunities. D. They support local economic development.来源:学.科.网32.

It was easy for her.DWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to beToward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot onAt that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes againWe saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed againJust-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattleAt five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-fiveYou are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to placeI am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardenerBut，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with othersThe place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a bakers dozen of egglaying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many treesLiving with my lifes purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on treesBut I learned something at the end of our family road tripTravel can help me in the task of caring for my own placeWhen I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places33What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?AThe tiredness of her past family life BHer disappointment at the family road tripCThe familys eagerness to return homeDKidsexcitement at driving fast on the road34Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?ABecause she made a way for a horse-drawn carriageBBecause she enjoyed the scenery along the roadCBecause she needed a break after the long driveDBecause she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life来源:35What can be the best title of the passage?AOn the Way Home BNever Travel againCEscape from a Family Life DLife on the Farm第二节 根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。来源:Zxxk.ComEThe book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. _36_ But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.1. If you're obese, blame your genes._37_ Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled-too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2. If you're obese, you
