39、There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving.

41、 occurri ng more tha n ever now, and why is it someth ing that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct.

If you recognize yourself in any of these situati ons, watch out!Whether you are getting an

45、gry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are thi ngs you can do to avoid any major con flict.

49、t eye con tact with ano ther driver【答案】CBDA【解析】【小题1】C推断题。议论文题目必然和文章主旨有直接关联。整篇文章讲述关于 Road Rage行车安全的相关问题， 所以排除完全无关的 A选项和D选项。B选项的重点是 media，C选 项的重点是Road Rage，所以选C选项，与文章内容直接相关。【小题2】B 词汇题。所有词汇题的思路与完形填空解题思路完全一致。这里提问动词， 动作发出者是these factors，即前文中提到的stress压力、anxiety焦虑和temper脾气，动作承受者是Road Rage，所以答案为 B，压力、焦虑和脾气造

50、成Road Rage的现象。【小题3】D细节题。直接对应文章第四段的细节，选出D选项应该不难。C选项的细节原文中还有程度描述long and hard，A选项和B选项则没有提到，所以排除。【小题4】A 细节题。议论文中只有两方面重要：作者论点和作者建议。60题提问作者论点，63题则提问作者建议。根据文章最后一段 there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict，可以选出 A选项。注意文章最后一段不但提到了如何抑制自己的愤怒，还有如何 应对对方的愤怒，所以C选项和D选项是片面的。DSurprisingly, no one knows

51、how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that educatio n. Proper records are just not kept.

It is found that half the hospitals in England whic

53、h admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part- time teacher. The special children'shospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact

54、 with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math

55、or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was sum

56、med up when parents referred to them as“thelibrary lady ”or just “ thehelper ”Ch. ildren tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.
