I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register I said hello to an elderly couple who were also paying for gas.I took_off,_but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealershipa shop selling carswas right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the show room.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”two powerful words.

We do know, however, that they existed over 5，500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5，100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didnt bee popular for a while, though. It was probably due to that animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also due to be a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces werent going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did bee smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.In the mid1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of roada base layer(层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of wheel)came into being, followed by the wheels that were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.13What might explain why transport wheels didnt bee popular for some time?A. Few knew how to use transport wheels. B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.C. Animals were a good means of transport. D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.14What do we know about road design from the passage?A. It was easier than wheel design. B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C. It was promoted by fastmoving vehicles. DIt provided conditions for wheel design to develop.15What is the passage mainly about?A. The beginning of road design. B. The development of transport wheels.C. The history of public transport. D. The invention of fastmoving vehicles.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ancient Rome was one of the worlds most powerful countries more than 2，000 years ago.

C词义猜测题。由第一段的“which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.”可知，这只旧水桶已被使用多年，超过了最佳使用期，即“破旧的，破烂的”，由第二段最后一句也可得到印证。故选C。2. D细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到，这只旧水桶感到羞愧是因为自身有漏洞，一路上都在漏水。3. A推理判断题。由第三段的“See how capable I am！What a waste of space you are！”可推知A项正确。4. D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“You both have done your work very well.”以及最后一段中的“where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers”推知，这只旧桶也在发挥着它自己的作用。A、C两项无依据，B项与文意不符。B【文章大意】 文章主要讲了一个西班牙籍的大学生涉嫌在超市偷东西这样一件事。如果再有一次这样的行为，她就会被送进监狱。5C细节理解题。根据最后一段“Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain，went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her masters degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University ，UK.”可知选C项。6B推理判断题。根据文章第八段的“but doesnt really have any explanation why she did this，”可推断出她不知道怎么解释她的偷盗行为。故选B项。7D推理判断题。根据文章的五段的“She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying”可知她拿了东西没付钱。故选D项。8C推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段的“Judge David Azan fined Luz 50, and warned, Youve got a criminal record .If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.”可知，再有一次这样的行为，Luz就会被送进监狱。故选C项。C【文章大意】 作者曾经两次因为车的原因接受过别人的帮助。一次是在加油站附近，由于车抛锚受一对夫妇帮助带他去他朋友那，一次是店员无报酬帮他修车。他对他们表达了感谢，虽然只是简单的谢谢，但是却包含了很多感情。9C细节理解题。根据文中第一段的“I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.”可知，“我”停在离Oklahoma大约50英里的汽油站，计划拜访一个朋友。故选C项。10C词义猜测题。结合这句话“I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.”可知，车开了仅仅几英里，从车的后面就冒出了黑烟。所以took off指“启动车离开”。故选C项。11A细节理解题。根据第二段的“They said they would take me to my friends.”和第三段两次提到helping me可知，那对夫妇给作者提供了帮助。故选A项。12A细节理解题。作者通过两次受帮助的经历表达了自己的观点：虽然说“谢谢”很简单，但是却十分重要。故选A项。D【文章大意】 本文是一篇史地人文类的说明文，介绍了我们现在生活中常见的车轮的历史发展过程。13C细节理解题。根据第二段的“It was probably due to that animals did a perfectly good job of”可知答案。 14D细节理解题。依据文章第三段最后一句“There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.”以及文章第四段的叙述可知，轮子之所以没有流行开来的另一个可能的原因之一就是道路的设计不适合轮子运行，故选D。15B主旨大意题。本文叙述的是用于交通的轮子的发展过程，而非公共交通的发展史，所以C选项错误，故选B。第二节1620DBGEA.【文章大意】 一位生活拮据的人撞了“我”的车，“我”最终没有向他索赔，并希望他也能善待别人。21C由上句“I was waiting at the traffic lights when my car was hit from behind.”以及空后的apologized可知，他撞了“我”的车，他承认是他的过错。22B从上文的“After pulling over”可知，那人在向“我”解释开车时思想不集中的原因。23A联系前文的“He told me that his insurance had just run out.”可知，他的车险已经过期了，所以要赔偿“我”的损失会给他带来很大的经济压力。24D联系空后的“to find a way to pay for it.”可知，他留下了他的个人信息并答应想办法赔偿“我”的损失。25C联系空后的“told him not to worry too much.”可知道，“我”尽力去安慰他，让他别太担心。26B联系前后文我们可以知道，在出了事故后，为了减少“我”的损失，“我”的同事建议“我”尽快列一个损失清单。27A联系空前的shocked以及空后的his registration details可知，当听说“我”并没有收集到那个人的车籍资料时，他们很吃惊。28C当“我”跟姐姐提到所发生的这件事时，她也有同样的反应。29D联系空后的“and she told me not to let him get away with it.”可知，“我”把这一切都告诉了“我”姐姐。30A联系空后的“I could not afford the repair cost.”可知，她担心“我”负担不起修车的费用。31B联系空后的“I was unsure ofto do.”可以得出，几乎所有的人都劝“我”赶紧向那个人索赔。32C显然，本来自己不想让那人赔偿，现在大家都劝“我”，“我”不确定该做什么。33D联系后文的waiting for me to “sting” him可知，圣诞节快到了，“我”可以想象，如果“我”向他索赔，他肯定会非常焦虑(nervous)。34A联系空后的“sent him this letter”可知，为了解除他的顾虑，“我”最终决定要给他写一封信。35B从“when my car was hit from behind.”可知，他撞了“
