A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. But though the pos sibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing of people on the roads. Man is opposite to the motor-car! It is a neverending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people are killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering-wheel(方向盘) , his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are rude, ill-mannered and aggressive. All their hidden frustrations and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to forgive the behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities and towns are made ugly by huge car parks. It is high time a world law were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. A law which was universally accepted could only have a beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be made to a fixed standard and far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Driving speed should be limited on all roads. These measures may sound extremely severe. But surely nothing should be considered difficult if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.56. The main idea of this passage is_. A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists B. thousands of people in the world are killed each year C. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents D. the laws of some countries about driving are too strict57. Which of the following is right according to the passage? A. It is right to build huge car parks in cities and towns. B. all the drivers must be asked to take a test every year. C. Working by car can save time and money. D. Society overlooks their rude driving.58. Why does the author say his car becomes the extension of his personality ? A. Driving can show his real self. B. Driving can bring out his good character. C. Driving can make a man excited and joyful. D. Driving can make a man quiet and pleasant.59. The attitude of the author is_.A. approving B. critical C. sympathetic D. aggressive【参考答案】5659CDAB 【2012江西省九江市】A阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Like any good mother; when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did whatshe could to help her 3 - year - old son, Michael, prepare for a new babyThey find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommys stomachFinally, Michaels little sister is bornBut she is in serious conditionWith alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal （初生的） intensive care unit at StMarys Hospital, Knoxville, TennesseeThe days go byThe little girl gets worseThe pediatric （儿科的） specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hopeBe prepared for the worst”Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plotThey have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby , but now they plan a funeralMichael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, I want to sing to her, he saysKaren makes up her mindShe will take Michael whether they like it or notIf he doesnt see his sister now, he may never see her aliveShe dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICUHe looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and shouts, Get that kid out of here now!

But his world is far removed from his contemporaries(同龄人). His mother died of AIDS in 2009 and his father, suffering from a terrible cough and fever, went off last summer. The HIV-positive boy lives at the end of a path on top of the mountain in his windowless, furniture-less, gray-brick house. His parents moved to the top of the mountain six years ago after both being diagnosed as HIV-positive. Dressed in torn clothes, Li Dus only relief is Lao Hei , his dog. The boy washes his clothes and cooks his own food at an age when his contemporaries are still being fed by their parents. Putting some rice and green vegetables into a pot and placing it on a stove made of several blocks, he starts a fire with amazing speed. He uses no oil or salt but still eats his meal with great enjoyment and sets aside a bit for his dog. Li Du is HIV-positive but has no clue what those letters mean. All he knows is that those who were once his friends have deserted him and doctors refused to help him when he accidentally tipped boiling water on his hands. But my grandmother always comes to see me, the boy says. However, his 84 year-old grandmother will not say why she has not taken him to live with her and his uncles and aunts. He often sits in the open area in front of his home staring at the path that leads to the outside world, hugging his dog, lost in thought. He was in school but only for one term. The local primary school allowed him to take the preschool course for one term, but then they had to ask him to leave after his father was gone, considering the feeling of the other parents. He often takes out his old textbooks, touching them like little treasures. The latest news is that an old couple has decided to adopt Li Du and Lao Hei, as well as the chicken he is raising. The local Red Cross Association is also talking about providing proper medical care for him. But there is still one question that troubles the little boy: When can I go back to school? 60. Who stays with Li Du most of the time? A. His grandma. B. His dog. C. His friends. D. The villagers.61. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Li Du takes care of himself. B. Li Dus food is almost tasteless. C. Li Du has no idea what AIDS is. D. Nobody is willing to help the boy.62. What is the best title of the passage? A. A Boy And His Books B. A Capable Boy C. A Boy Not To Be Forgotten D. A Boy Lacking Medical Care【参考答案】 6062BCD
