阅读理解

Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured (受伤的) in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones.Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it's dangerous.

      Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on (专注于) driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones,their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.

And talking isn't even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.

Using a mobile phone while driving puts others' lives at risk. No matter how well we drive,if another driver is not careful,we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish,careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).

There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful,especially when you're in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.

(1)、The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.

A、phone users B、mobile phones C、drivers D、ears
(2)、According to the passage,if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _______ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone.

A、12 B、13 C、14 D、15
(3)、According to the passage,in what order do the following activities influence driving?

Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous

A、drinking→talking on phone→texting    B、texting→talking on phone→drinking C、talking on phone→drinking→texting    D、drinking→texting→talking on phone
(4)、Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?

A、It will take longer to send text messages. B、People will want to talk on their phones more often. C、There will be more things for people to do with their phones. D、People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.
(5)、According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?

A、They should be put into prison (监狱).    B、Their cars should be taken away. C、Their phones should be taken from them.  D、They should not be allowed to drive any longer.

The popular TV programme, Touching China, was shown successfully on 3rd March 2022. We heard a name——Zhu Yanfu. His story moved everyone deeply. 

Zhu Yanfu was born in Zhangjiaquan village in Shandong Province in July 1933. When he was only 14 years old, he joined the army. Although he was young, he was not afraid to take part in wars. He lost his hands, his left eye and both legs below the knee during the Korean War in the 1950s. But he still said, "I don't regret what I have done to protect our country. "

In 1956, he chose to abandon the special care in the army nursing home and returned to his home town. He ever said, "I don't want to depend on our country to support me. I want to work for our country and serve its people. "

Zhu Yanfu was chosen as the secretary of the village's Party branch(村党支部书记) in 1957. He spent about 25 years developing the poor village. With his hard work, Zhangjiaquan became the first village to have electricity in the town in 1978. Now the people in his home town live a better life. 

Besides, Zhu Yanfu spent his money buying books for the reading room he set up in 1957. He later built an evening school which was the first school in the village. He understood that the best way to live a better life was by enriching people's minds. 

In order to pass on the revolutionary(革命的) tradition, he completed two autobiographical(自传体的) novels Extreme Life and A Man Without Regret during seven years. 

His story was widely reported from the 1990s and moved many people. Zhu Yanfu is a national hero who we should respect and learn from. 

 阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

He was an old man who fished alone in a boat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week.

It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry fishing tools.

The old man was thin with deep wrinkles(皱纹) in the back of his neck. His hands had the deep scars(伤疤) from dealing with heavy fish. But none of these scars were fresh.

Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and full of confidence.

"Santiago", the boy said to him as they climbed from the bank where the boat was pulled up. "I could go with you again. We've made some money."

"No," the old man said. "You' re with a lucky boat. Stay with them."

"But remember how you went eighty-seven days without a fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks."

"I remember," the old man said. "I know you did not leave me willingly."

"It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must do what he told me to."

"I know. I quite understand that."

"He hasn't much faith (信念)."

"No," the old man said. "But we have. Haven't we?"

"Yes," the boy said. "Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we'll take the fishing tools home?"

"Why not?" the old man said. "Between fishermen."

They sat on the Terrace. Many fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry. Some other older fishermen looked at him and were sad. But they didn't show it and they spoke politely about the sea, the weather and of what they had seen.
