I was a few minutes late and watching the two men ahead of me talking in that slow truck made me angry.The light turne
2、d green, but the truck was still moving very slowly. I became impatient, so I turned right to go past it. Suddenly, a new blue Chevy Silverado was rushing by. I tried to stop, but my car hit the side of the Chevy.“Pow！” I heard a big noise and then I realized that an accident happened. For a moment,
3、 just a moment. I asked if I was OK, and honestly, I was waiting for people to come over and help me. Those thoughts didnt last long, as the answer came into my mind that the air bag had saved me. Luckily, I was still alive.Slowly I opened the door. The warm, bright morning sunlight hit my face and
4、I felt better. I saw the Chevy Silverado and I ran over to check if the driver in it was injured. “Are you OK？”I shouted loudly through the window. His head was down, eyes closed, and he didnt answer me.At that moment, I thought I was looking at a dead man. Full of fear, I shouted again, and knocked
5、 at the window heavily once more. His eyes started to open, and he slowly shook his head, “Yes.”Once again，I said to myself, “How lucky I am！”1The writer was in such a hurry because _.

ASomeone else helped the writer when the accident happened. BThe writers car hit the side of the Chevy Silvera
7、do. CThe driver of the Chevy Silverado didnt answer the driver at first. DThere were at least two men in the slow truck.BWhat is language for? Some people seem to think its for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words the longer the lists, the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exc
8、hange (交流) of ideas and information. Its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they cant speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking
9、 a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. Theyre English mistakes in the English language. And if en
10、ough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong, becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It cant make another peoples language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but t
11、hey shouldnt overdo (做过头) it. They should put communication(交际)first.4. Language is used to_.A. record some information B. express oneselfC. talk with foreigners only D. practise grammar rules5.

Anyway, one can find advantages and disadvantage
14、s when traveling by plane.The most important advantage is that it is the fastest way of transport when you take a long-distance travel. One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane. He cant even realize time passing and he has arrived at his destination. He does not have to wait t
15、hree days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车), which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired.Then, think about the conditions. We are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight. The comfort helps us forget about the possibility of some technical problems.
16、Anyway, many people feel scared when it comes to flying in a plane.They say that the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.Apart from this disadvantage, there are people who dont choose to travel by plane because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares a
17、re too high.One piece of advice I would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing. Just relax, be comfortable and everything will be all right. Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer perfect
18、protection to all passengers.8.

21、e about the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words having very different meanings, differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the sa
22、me things. Here are some examples.A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK. A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK. Crisps in the UK, are known as chips, but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US. In the UK, a pie can be made from either meat or fruit, w
23、hile in the US pies are normally made from fruit; pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US, not pounds and ounces.One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK is gas in the US. The place where we fi
24、ll up our cars, in the UK, is a garage; while in the US, its a gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.An elevator in the US is called a lift here, and the first floor in the U
25、S, is called the ground floor here, so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences, no wonder its hard to understand each other well.12. The passage is main
