visiting paravani lake?alack of medicine.bvolcano eruptions.caltitude sickness.dlow temperature all the year.c解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“at this level，altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly，or bring medication for altitude sickness.”可知，在游覽paravani lake時(shí)，游客們最有可能面臨的挑戰(zhàn)就是高原反應(yīng)。故選c。bi used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. very seldom have i encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.recently, i had to change my thinking, when i came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters.the place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep(陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. after enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.just as i was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase(樓梯). i was sure i would be pushed roughly by this man going up. i kept coming down as fast as i could. my daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping i would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing i was a nervous sort.nearly reaching them, i noticed the man still standing near the door. i reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. i looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. i saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. i told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. we applauded for his chivalry(彬彬有禮)【解題導(dǎo)語】在這個(gè)忙碌的現(xiàn)代社會(huì)，彬彬有禮、體貼他人的品質(zhì)變得尤為珍貴。作者講述了自己經(jīng)歷的一件事情，并贊揚(yáng)了這種良好的品質(zhì)。4what is the meaning of the underlined word “courtesy” in paragraph 1?aa brave action. bsacrifice spirit.ca considerate action. dselfish behavior.c解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文故事中的男人為作者讓路并且開門可推測(cè)出，這是一種體貼的行為，故選c項(xiàng)。a項(xiàng)意為“勇敢的行為”；b項(xiàng)意為“犧牲精神”；d項(xiàng)意為“自私的行為”。5what did the author think of the man at the first sight of him?ahe was in a hurry.bhe would wait for her.che would pass her rudely.dhe was a man with good manners.c解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“i was sure i would be pushed roughly by this man going up.”可知，作者本認(rèn)為這個(gè)男人會(huì)粗魯?shù)財(cái)D開她上樓梯，故選c項(xiàng)。6what can we learn about the man from paragraph 4?ahe might be a waiter of the caf.bhe might have an urgent business to do.che loved a daughter of the author.dhe would hold the door open for all.b解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“i saw him going up the stairs, two at a time.”以及下文談到她們都來不及對(duì)這個(gè)男人說一聲謝謝可推知，那個(gè)男人上樓梯，一次上兩級(jí)臺(tái)階，應(yīng)該是有急事要做，故選b項(xiàng)。cits well known to car drivers that red means “stop”， green means “go”， and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”why those colors, though? the answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars.they were red and green, gaspowered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.red is an inherited(繼承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures.as red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光譜), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.greens wavelength is next to(and shorter than) yellows on the visible spectrum, meaning its still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow.back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”， while the “allclear” light was, well, clear or white.it is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an allclear.thus, green became “go”， and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.from the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s，not all stop signs were redmany were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area.in 1915 the yellow stopsign craze began in detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.but what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? as materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the stillhighlyvisible yellow to the domain(領(lǐng)域) of “caution”thats why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。我們都知道“紅燈停，綠燈行，黃燈亮了快點(diǎn)走”的交通規(guī)則，但交通信號(hào)燈為什么是紅、黃、綠三種顏色呢？本文主要介紹了交通信號(hào)燈的起源和發(fā)展。7what were traffic lights originally intended for?atrains. bcars.cplanes. dships.a解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“the answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains，not cars.”可知，最初，交通信號(hào)燈是為火車而不是汽車的通行而設(shè)計(jì)的。故選a。8whats the main reason for reds long being used to mean “stop”？ait can be seen even in dark areas.bit represents danger in many cultures.cit has the longest wavelength.dpeople prefer red to other colors.c解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“as red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光譜)，it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.”可知，由于紅色在可見光譜中波長(zhǎng)最長(zhǎng)，因此可視距離要比其他顏色更遠(yuǎn)，這也是其能長(zhǎng)期被用作表示“停止”的交通信號(hào)的原因。故選c。9which of the following may the author agree with?athe meaning of red is culturespecific.byellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s.cgreens wavelength is just second to that of red.dgreens role in lights has changed over time.d解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的內(nèi)容尤其是“green meant caution”“green becamego”可知，隨著時(shí)間的變化，綠色在交通信號(hào)燈中所扮演的角色也發(fā)生了巨大的變化。故選d。10what does the passage mainly talk about?athe significance of road traffic signs.bthe history of railroad transportation.cthe symbolic meaning of different colors.dthe origin and development of traffic lights.d解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了交通信號(hào)燈的起源與發(fā)展，并解釋了這三種顏色(紅、黃、綠)的物理性質(zhì)及為什么會(huì)被用作交通信號(hào)燈。故d項(xiàng)最為全面地概括了文章的主要內(nèi)容。 七選五my father used to be an amateur wrestler and national champion. he was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldnt be able to win a medal for our country.therefore, he made a vow that his unborn
