A

(2020·合肥高三联考)Two deer jumped out in front of 16­year­old Amanda Floyd’s car. She put on the brake, stopping the car just in time. But later, she started texting. Distracted, Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasn’t in a real car—she was in a driving simulator(模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio, US. “I never really realized that cars made a turn that much，” Amanda, a junior, said. She added that she wouldn’t text while driving anymore.

The Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) and Ohio State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, texting, or talking on the phone.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving claimed 3，450 lives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.

The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a steering wheel(方向盘), brake and gas pedal(油门). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.

Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving：how much damage they’ve caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they’re going to go to prison.

“It teaches how to drive without being on the road，” said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.

ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates.

“Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously，” he said. “Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but change someone else’s life forever. The results are serious.”

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2020·河南六市高三联考)Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.

The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720­foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre’s management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”

The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.

Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.

“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”

The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.

【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心在节日高峰期引进快速通道一事。

1．The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who________．

A．can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities

B．buy things on their shopping lists quickly

C．take their time to do window shopping

D．want to leave the mall quickly

B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.”和第二段最后一句“The centre’s management team said, ‘The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.’”可推知，快速通道是为那些想迅速购物的人而设计的，故选B。

2．What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?

A．Supportive. B．Indifferent.

C．Critical. D．Objective.

D　解析：观点态度题。根据对第四段及第五段的整体理解可知，Gary Mortimer对快速通道进行了全面的评论，既肯定了快速通道的优点，又看到了其潜在的劣势，因此他的态度是客观的，故选D。

3．Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?

A．Skaters. B．Dodgers.

C．Bulldozers. D．Tutters.

A　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“‘Skaters’ who try and make their way through crowds politely”可推知，Skaters在购物时会耐心地跟在缓慢的人群后，故选A。

4．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Shopping can be annoying sometimes.

B．How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.

C．The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.

D．The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.

D　解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段开篇点题，并结合对全文的整体理解可知，本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心引进快速通道，从而在节日高峰期使购物迅速的人避开购物缓慢的人的新闻，故选D。

Ⅱ.七选五

(2020·商丘高三模拟)Are you happy with your appearance? 1.________

“Almost all the girls with single­fold eyelids(单眼皮) in our class have had double eyelid operations，” Zeng, a Senior 2 student from Chengdu, told Xinhua. Zeng had the same surgery done this summer. 2.________

From popular photo­editing apps to plastic surgery(整形手术), it seems that large eyes, pale skin and a skinny body are the only standard for beauty these days. But can following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves?

3．________ According to Huxiu News, over six in ten girls choose not to take part in certain daily activities, such as attending school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers avoid speaking up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.

“Many teenagers are upset about their appearance because they believe in unrealistic standards of beauty，” experts say. 4.________ Seeing all these things can make anyone believe that they’re too dark, too fat, too short, or too tall.

However, trying to live up to strict standards can make us feel anxious. What troubles us is not just our “imperfect” looks, but the fact that we criticize ourselves too much.

5．________ Plus­size models are being featured in some fashion shows. All of us should be just as confident as they are.

A．Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

2．E　解析：根据语境及空前一句“Zeng had the same surgery done this summer.”可知，Zeng也做了双眼皮手术，故E项“她和她的许多同学认为大眼睛看起来更漂亮”符合语境，承接上文。

3．C　解析：本段主要讲的是很多青少年对自己的外貌不满意，甚至感到焦虑，故C项“外貌焦虑在青少年中很普遍”适合作本段主题句。

4．G　解析：根据空后的“Seeing all these things can make anyone believe that they’re too dark, too fat, too short, or too tall.”，并结合上文“unrealistic standards of beauty”可推知，通过与非现实的审美标准形成对比，许多青少年对自己的外貌有自卑感，与选项G的内容联系紧密，所以选G项。

5．A　解析：根据下文“All of us should be just as confident as they are.”可知，本段主要讲的是要对自己的外貌有信心，美的形式多种多样，而不是只有一个标准，所以选A项。

Dear Jim，

I am glad that you are interested in Chinese culture and eager to explore more.

I think the Ancient Poetry is your best choice. By learning Chinese ancient poems, you can have an extensive knowledge of history and culture in ancient China. Furthermore, you can feel the charm of the language by reading poems, which helps to improve your Chinese. To follow the course well, you’d better read and recite as many poems as possible. Besides, it is a good idea to search for related background knowledge so that you will fully understand the conception of poetry.

What do you think of the course? I am sure you will have a lot of fun from it.

Yours，

Li Hua
