She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart(使我胆战心惊). And everyone elses of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.To everyones surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to my natural self in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.4During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was .Aproud but patient Bbeautiful but strictCscholarly but serious Dhumorous but single-minded5What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?AWin her favor. BEmbarrass her.CArgue with her. DFollow her closely.6What can we learn from Paragraph 4 ?AMiss Vicki was a good joke teller.BMiss Vickis jokes were always boring.CStudents liked Miss Vickis class very much.DStudents pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.7What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?AShe was fired by the school.BShe was not accepted by the students.CShe was unwilling to leave her students.DShe had a strong sense of social responsibility.A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of $2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.8Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?ABecause yellow can be seen more easily.BBecause yellow signals a warning of danger.CBecause drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.DBecause people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.9Whats Prof Hos study based on?APhysical risks taxi passengers experience.BThe economic effect of changing taxi color.CData from Singapores largest taxi company.DPersonal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.10What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?ASchool buses should be painted yellow.BTheir findings are worth popularizing.CYellow should be widely used in public transport.DTheir study will be furthered.11What can be the best title for the text?ACaution: yellow taxis aheadBSafer to ride in yellow taxisCWhy are yellow taxis preferred?DHow can colors help prevent accidents?二、七选五You are what you eat, goes an English saying. But actually, you are what you drink. Why? Because 75% of your body is water! 12 When we dont give our bodies enough water, our organs cannot work properly. We are also easier to catch a disease. When we are sick, drinking plenty of water should be one of the first things we do. 13Is your body asking for more water?If you experience headaches, sleepiness, allergies or dizziness (头昏眼花), your body might be telling you to drink more water. 14Even problems such as nervousness or forgetfulness can be caused by lack of water. In addition, the medicines that treat these illnesses can sometimes dry out your body further. The more water you are lacking in, the worse your health will be-no matter how much medicine you take. 15How much water is enough for you?Most experts suggest drinking at least 8-ounce glasses of water every day. However, if you weigh more than 128 pounds, you need even more water. Drink an extra glass of water for every 15 pounds of body weight.Drink more water in the hot summer months and when you exercise to replenish (补充) the water loss through sweating. Caffeine makes your body lose water very quickly. So drink extra water if you drink beverages such as coffee, tea and soda.Helpful tipsTry these tips to help yourself drink more water.Dont wait until you are thirsty to drink. 16Plan to have enough water.Carry a bottle of pure water with you wherever you go.Dont hesitate by frequent trips to the toilet.Drinking plenty of water can take as much time as you need and prevent serious illness in the future. So pour yourself a glass of water and drink up!ADrink water occasionally.BAll kinds of drink will contribute to your health.CIf youre thirsty, youre already lack of water.DInstead, we usually depend on drugs to make us well.E.
