阅读理解

    In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.

    The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and rules and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver's license.

    Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel and practice starting. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours each time. So each student gets half an hour driving time per outing.

    Drivers' ED cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes(刹车), one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. So if the student driver should run into difficulties, the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced.

    After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the suitable age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to the state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a driver's license.

(1)、We can infer that the students are required to ________ in their whole driving practice.
A、go out driving for 12 times B、spend at least six hours driving C、drive for two-hour blocks of time D、get half an hour driving
(2)、In America, the driver's course mentioned above is ________.
A、considered as part of the advanced education B、given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license C、carried on at the same time as other courses D、required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
(3)、To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car ________.
A、has a sign inside it B、has two sets of brakes C、is big enough to hold five persons D、can't run very fast
(4)、Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?
A、They must be 16 years of age. B、They should go to have their driver's course. C、They must have their eyes examined. D、They ought to do well in their driver's course.
(5)、The underlined word “caution” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A、being brave B、courage C、being careful D、patience
举一反三
 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。

A video of a man playing the piano on the street in Shenzhen became very popular online. Wearing work clothes, 57-year-old Yi Qunlin looked nothing like a musician. Many people couldn't believe it when they saw his great show.

Yi comes from a small village in Hunan. He loved music very much when he was young. He took every opportunity (机会) to learn it. At an early age, Yi learned to play the erhu from a group of people outside his home.

A few years later, he saw a piano for the first time when he visited his cousin. He loved it very much, but his family was too poor to buy one for him. So, he often went to his cousin's home just to sit at the piano. Finally, Yi learned to play the piano himself.

Yi arrived in Shenzhen in 2004. He kept teaching himself to play musical instruments (乐器) in his free time. But he didn't have an opportunity to play the piano.

A public (公共的) piano on a street gave Yi a fresh start. One day, when he was taking a walk with his son after work, he saw someone playing the piano on the street. His son asked him to give it a try. He felt a little afraid at first. But when he put his hands on the piano, his confidence (自信) came back. "Thanks to it, I can make my dream come true," Yi said.

 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Which would you give a boy for his birthday, a toy truck or a doll? If you choose the truck, well,you're not alone. Most people think that some toys are for boys and some are for girls. We might pick building toys or remote-control cars for boys and kitchen toys or dolls for girls. But why do we do this?Are boys and girls really born with different interests in toys?

No, they are not. Children start to show different interests in toys at age three, but only because at this time, they begin to learn about gender(性别) and to follow what others of their gender do. If you give a girl kitchen toys, she will think they are girls' toys because she sees other girls playing with them. But if you give a girl a toy car and show her a group of girls who are playing with cars, she'll play with the toy car and think it is a girls' toy. This "watch and follow" habit often becomes a rule for both boys and girls in choosing the "right" toys.

However, this rule can be bad for children. Different toys teach children different things. Dolls help with their early language use, and building toys are good for learning math and science. By playing with different toys, children can find out what they are interested in or what they are good at.

If they only play one kind of toy, they may lose this important chance. They may also get a wrong idea about what boys or girls are able to do. Some doctors worry that children may use the same kind of thinking when they look for jobs in the future. If they do, they may miss something more important than just getting a chance to play with different toys. They may miss many, perhaps better, chances in life.
