your right of way. yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. it could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. you can be in the right legally, but that wont be much help when youre in the hospital.follow pedestrian signals. just as drivers arent supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. if the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits(数字), stay where you are. trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe, especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. dont suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. some provinces, such as alberta, issue(发出) a ticket if you dont give drivers enough time to brake.cross quickly. once youve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, dont then just wander along in front of six lanes(车道) of traffic. theres no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respect you enough to stop for you.语篇导读本文为应用文，是一篇关于行人为保护自身安全需遵守的一些建议。21. who is the text intended for?adrivers.bcyclists.cpolice.dpedestrians.解析 d推理判断题。根据第一段可推知，本文的目标读者是行人，故选d项。22what does the underlined word “distracted” in paragraph 2 mean?aconsiderate.bstrange.ckindhearted.dabsentminded.解析 d词义猜测题。根据画线词后的.or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules.可知，此处的distracted与loose呼应，表示“注意力不集中，心不在焉”，意同absentminded，故选d项。23. in what case would pedestrians in alberta be fined?aracing against time with drivers.bfollowing crosswalk signals.ccrossing the crosswalk area.dwalking outside six lanes.解析 a细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，在alberta，如果没有给司机足够时间刹车，行人会被开罚单，故选a项。bwould you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying really, really hard? apparently many college students would have no problem with that. they believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class. or at least that is what they told researchers last year at the university of california, irvine.the researchers asked over 800 college students if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. for example：“if i have completed most of the reading for a class, i deserve a b in that course.” and：“a professor should not be annoyed with me if i receive an important call during class.”just 16% thought it was ok to take that phone call. but 66% agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a students work when deciding grades. and 40% thought they should get a b, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.the findings appeared in the journal of youth and adolescence. the students were eighteen to twentyfive years old.some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. social critics(评论家) like to say that in childrens activities these days, everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected. yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.and there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the familys investment. these days, college can cost more than a house.a former teaching assistant recently wrote to the new york times about his experience with grade expectations. he would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class：what if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?the students would say no. but most of them would still ask for an a.语篇导读本文为议论文。许多大学生认为只要他们努力学习，就应当得到高的分数，因为他们害怕分数太低会使他们无缘读研究生或得到好的工作。但专家认为，努力和结果不一定成正比。24what does the text mainly discuss?awhether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.bwhether students are allowed to answer calls in class.chow students can get a good grade in a course.dwhy students put a lot of effort in their studies.解析 a主旨大意题。根据第一段第三句they believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class可知，本文主要讨论的是“付出努力是否应该得高分”，故选a项。25according to the research, most of the students _.athought they did most of the workbthought it was all right to answer the call during classcobjected to deciding grades only by the quality of a students workdagreed that they should be given the highest mark because of their hard work解析 c细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，大多数的学生不同意只根据功课的质量来确定分数，故选c项。26which of the following opinions do social critics agree with about childrens activities?aonly by playing an important role in the activities can you get an award.ban award is prepared for anyone who performs best in the activities.cthose who are not active in the activities will be rejected.dwhoever takes part in the activities can get an award.解析 d细节理解题。根据第五段第二句中的everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected可知，他们认为“只要参与就可得到奖品”，故选d项。27what does the teaching assistant want to tell students by mentioning a baseball player?aeffort can lead to good results.beffort and results are quite different.cno pains, no gains.dwhere there is a will, there is a way.解析 b推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard的反问来看，他想让学生知道“努力不等同于取得好的结果”，故选b项。cwearable sensors(传感器) could one day interpret the gestures in sign language and translate them into english, providing a hightech solution to communication problems between deaf people and those who dont understand sign language.engineers at texas a&m university are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a persons arms. the device works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using two sets of sensors: one that responds to the motion of the wrist and the other to the muscular(肌肉的) movements in the arm. a program then wirelessly receives this information and changes the data into the english translation. “most of the technology was based on vision or camerabased solutions，” said study lead researcher roozbeh jafari, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at texas a&m university.these existing designs, jafari said, are not enough, because often when someone is talking with sign language, he or she is using hand gestures combined with specific finger movements. “i thought maybe we should look into combining motion sensors and muscle activation，” jafari told live science. “and the idea here was to build a wearable device.”the researchers built a system that can recognize words that people use most commonly in their daily conversations. jafari said that once the team starts expanding the program, the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used, in order to build up a more substantial vocabulary.one drawback of it is that the system has to be “trained” to respond to each individual that wears the device, jafari said. this training process involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times, which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.语篇导读本文为说明文。得克萨斯农工大学的工程师正在研发一种可穿戴设备：它能利用传感器感应腕部和手臂的动作，并将其转译成英语。这将为失聪者和不懂手语的人提供方便。28how does the new device work?aby figuring out gestures from fingers.bby connecting the wrist and the fingers.cby linking the arm and the fingers.dby collecting information from the wrist and the arm.解析 d推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，该设备配有两套传感装置：一套感应手腕部的动作，另一套感应手臂肌肉的动作，故选d项。29the researchers eventually decided on a wearable device to _.amake it easier to monitor the gestures when people are talkingbmake the translation process fasterccompete with existing designsdmake it userfriendly解析 a细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段第一句可知，研究人员决定研制可穿戴设备是为了使失聪者和不懂手语的人交流时更方便监测各种手势，故选a项。30we can replace the underlined word in paragraph 4 by “_”anecessarybinfluentialcextensivedessential解析 c词义猜测题。根据第四段中的.expanding the program, the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used.可知，目前这一设备只收录了最常用的词汇，将来还会收录更多不常使用的词汇，由此可知，substantial在此表示“大量的”，故选c项。extensive广泛的；大量的。31what can we infer from the text?athe device has greatly increased in sales.bthe device still requires much improvement.cwe should work out for 30 minutes.dwe should be trained to respond quickly.解析 b推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，要使用这一设备，使用者需要先把所有的手势做几遍，这是该设备的缺陷，由此可推测，该设备还有改进的空间，故选b项。dlooking back on chinas road to outer space, people can easily find it has not been very smooth. in the past years, chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had for thousands of years. after chinas first satellite into the earths orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned shenzhou missions from 1999 to 2002. the country carried out its first onepiloted space flight in october, 2003, making china the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the soviet union and the united states. then came another breakthrough on october 12, 2005, when shenzhou ， chinas second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. whats more, the landmark(里程碑) spacewalk done by zhai zhigang, one of the three boarding shenzhou ， launched on september 25, 2008, leads the country further in its space exploration.meanwhile, chinas moon exploration project, started in 2004, has also been progressing satisfactorily. fifty years after the soviet union launched sputnik, the worlds first manmade satellite, chinas first circumlunar(绕月的) satellite change took off on october 24, 2007, which became another milestone in chinas space achievements after the abovementioned manned flights. change was expected to fulfill four scientific goals, one of which was to probe(探测) mineral elements on the moon, especially those not existent on the earth. its said that the lunar regolith(月壤) is abundant in helium3, a clean fuel that may support the earths energy demands for more than a century. nearly 3 years later, october 1, 2010 witnessed the blasting off(发射) of change ， chinas 2nd unmanned lunar probe, marking another step forward in moon exploration. this time the aim is to test the key techniques of change and change ， as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future. with great expectations, people all over the world are looking forward to chinas greater space achievements.语篇导读本文为说明文，主要回顾了中国的太空探索之路虽然充满艰难险阻，但也取得了成就神舟号载人飞船和“嫦娥”探月卫星的成功发射。32. what can we know according to the text?a. china sent its first satellite into the moons orbit in 1970. bchina is the third country in asia to make human spaceflight.
