2．On a stormy day last August，Tim heard some shouting．Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea．
Two 12-year-old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed（劃船） out a boat to search for a football．Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water．The boys were worried and tried to row back to shore．But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control．
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves．
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water．Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to judge his progress． "At one point，I considered turning back， "he says． "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk． "After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to call to the boys， "Take down the umbrella!Let's aim for the pier（碼頭）， "Jack said．Tim turned the boat toward it．Soon，waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink． "Can you guys swim？"he cried． "A little bit，" the boys said．
Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier．Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs．Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces "Are we almost there？" they asked again and again． "Yes， "Tim told them each time．After 30 minutes ，they reached the pier．
（1）Why did the two boys go to the sea？
A．To go boat rowing．
B．To get back their football．
C．To swim in the open water．
D．To test the umbrella as a sail．
（2）What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．The wind．
B．The water．
C．The boat．
D．The beach．
（3）Why did Tim raise his head regularly？
A．To take in enough fresh air．
B．To consider turning back or not．
C．To check his distance from the boys．
D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella．
（4）How can the two boys finally reach the pier？
A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim．
B．They swam to the pier all by themselves．

3．Zebra crossings（斑馬線）-the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface-are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across．Unfortunately，they are not very effective．A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden's Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing．Even worse？Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across．
Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad，India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention-a 3 D zebra crossing with an optical illusion（視錯(cuò)覺）．Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS，an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad．The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city's residents to cross the busy accident-prone（易出事故的）roads safely．Thakkar and Pandya，who had previously seen images of 3 D zebra crossing that gave drivers the illusion of logs of wood on the streets in Taizhou，China，decided to test if a similar way would work in India．
Sure enough，in the six months when the 3 D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city's most dangerous highways，there have been no accidents reported!The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind，such is not the case．Because of the way the human eye works，the illusion is only visible from a distance．As they get closer，the painting looks just like any other ordinary design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world．So let's look forward to it．
（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph？
A．Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings．
B．Common zebra crossings don't function well．
C．Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossing．
D．About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings．
（2）Why do drivers seeing the 3 D zebra crossings slow down according to Para．2 ？
A．Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians．
B．Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets．
C．Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules．
D．Because the drivers don't want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind．
（3）The last paragraph is mainly about the theory of the 3 D zebra crossings．
A．the theory of the 3 D zebra crossing
B．the popularity of the 3 D zebra crossings
C．the shortcoming of the 3 D zebra crossings
D．the positive effect of the 3 D zebra crossings
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the 3 D zebra crossings？
A．Cautious．
B．Doubtful．
C．Approving．
D．Disapproving．組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6

8．I think university life is a time for learning and experiencing new things．I can meet the other young people like me from many different places and can make lots friends．I will probably study and live away at home during this time，so I will have a lot more independent．Studying at university will be quite differently from studying at high school．I may not have so much homework to finish every day，and I will have to spend much more time working by myself．I know that in any university where are different societies or clubs organizing by the students themselves．I want to join the film society and the travel club because I show interest on both activities．These societies and clubs can make my life interesting and helped me make friends．
