‎2015届高考英语二轮专题检测精品练习：阅读理解（11）‎ A There are some new drivers going back to school. Teens who have recently gotten their driver's licenses may be taking the wheel to drive to school this fall. However, parents fear when their teen starts driving. And it turns out that such parental fears are justified—so it's worth reviewing how to keep your teen safe while he or she is behind the wheel.‎ Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in U. S.‎ teens. Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk for crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than for older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays ’ Saturdays ’ or Sundays between the hours of 3 p. m. and midnight.‎ Why are teens at higher risk for motor vehicle crashes?‎ Development. Teens haven’t completely matured mentally and have greater risk-taking behaviors, possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior. Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.‎ No seatbelts. Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use among all driving groups.‎ Alcohol. At least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to alcohol use.‎ Technological distractions (分散注意力）.Cell phones, textingMP3 players, and the like can all distract drivers greatlyand who more than teenagers?‎ Be aware of your teen ’ s driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves. Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen’s use of technology while driving. Some applications alert you to when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving. Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running—incoming messages get an automatic reply ( e. g, " I ’ m driving right now")，and phone calls go directly to voicemail. You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver' s whereabouts at all times. All in all, you can't be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.‎ ‎55. What factor is least related to the teen drivers’ high risks of crashes?‎ A. Driver age. B. Passenger gender. C. Driving experience. D. Driving time.‎ ‎56. Teens probably turn away their attention from driving when they are_____.‎ A. using no seatbelts B. drinking water C. carrying passengers ,D. answering cell phones ‎57. According to the passage, which should be prevented during teens' driving?‎ A. Texting. B. GPS programs. C. Automated replies. D. Voicemail.‎ ‎58.The author writes the last paragraph in order to_____.‎ A. offer parents practical suggestions B. summarize teen' s driving practices C. advocate different driving habits D. establish examples for the future B Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or - 6 -‎ ‎ tennis. It may be mountaineering.‎ Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.‎ ‎ Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.‎ If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.‎ The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.‎ A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.‎ ‎46.
