A
It was a cold and wet night. I had just left a local club to travel home when I lost control of my
car. I crashed into a car, then hit a tree. The force was so great that it shunted(使移开) the parked
car several meters forwards. I was knocked out cold. Worse still, I had no idea that a fire had started
under the bonnet(引擎盖)of my car. It then set the tree on fire.
Driving in the car behind me was a young man, who I later found out was called Jared. He saw
the accident occur, and stopped to help me out of the burning car. He put his own life in danger
when he got into the back seat to try to undo my seat belt. This wasn’t easy because I’d hit the car
on my driver’s side and my seat belt was squeezed into the console(操纵台).
With my seat belt undone, Jared then hit open the driver’s window to drag me out as I had still
not regained consciousness. He bravely did this while my car and the tree were burning. Woken by
the crash, the homeowners came out to investigate. Jared told them to ring emergency services. I
was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a serious condition. I eventually woke up a day later.
I owe my life to Jared and I consider him a friend due to the special bond. Jared says that
although the events of that night initially shocked him, he never once hesitated to help. In addition,
he doesn’t believe that he did anything special.
21.What happened to the author in the crash?
A. He was knocked out of his car.
B. He was knocked unconscious.
C. He felt cold because of bleeding.
D. He climbed on the tree to escape fire.
22.Why did Jared get into the back seat?
A. To unfasten the author’s seat belt.
B. To get the author out of the car.
C. To help the author drive the car safely.
D. To put out the burning fire in the car.
23.What is the special bond for the author?
A. Jared’s noble character.

When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one
person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about
the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a
single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.
Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and
philanthropist ( 慈 善 家 ). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her
personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son
when he entered the league with CNBC.
“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to enjoy himself
because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she
advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the
importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she
couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on
how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program
called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the
program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.
Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic
work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and
so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I
taught him,” she says.
25. What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about?
A. Durant’s career path.
B. Durant’s hard childhood.
C. Durant’s mother’s devotion to the family.
D. Durant’s mother’s struggling to be independent.
26. What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Enjoyable. B. Important.
C. Unusual. D. Hopeful.
27. What are the financial principles of Durant’s mom?
A. Enjoying now and planning for the future.
B. Sharing rewards and creating a charity program.
C. Spending less money and saving for the emergencies.
D. Donating money to the charity and helping more schools.高 2017 级 英语 第 5页 共 10 页
28. What made Durant pay attention to the charity program?
A. His kind heart. B. His poor hometown.
C. His mother’s teaching. D. His difficult life experiences.

It’s common knowledge that some countries have higher life expectancies than others, but the
city you live in can also affect your health.
Some cities are hard on their residents. In places with poor city planning, for example Lagos,
which was called out recently by the Economist Intelligence Unit, public spaces are few, making
outdoor activities hard. Lack of infrastructure (基础建设) blocks the streets with cars and the air
with pollutants, and residents work long hours for little money.
These are just some of the factors added up by Spotahome, a rental agency. They’ve analyzed
data from a range of sources, including the World Health Organization, TripAdvisor and the CIA
World Factbook to score each city on health, gym availability and quality, life expectancy, obesity,
green space and other elements to make a list to work out which are the world’s healthiest cities.
The list is certainly Euro-centric and sunshine is seen as a positive factor. It does go some way
towards suggesting which cities are getting it right in providing a good life for their residents. It
may not be surprising to learn that most of the healthiest cities are in northern Europe, known for its
people-first approach to city planning. The cities of Australia and Canada also do well. However,
the first American city is only in 34th place. The UK doesn’t fare too well either---its only city in
the top 50 list is London, in 40th.
Whether you’re planning a wholesome holiday, or simply wondering what your city can do
better in its quest for happy citizens, the list of the 50 healthiest cities will give you pause for
thought about the future of city planning. Here are the slender, healthy-eating, clean-aired cities that
are getting it right.
29. What plays the key role in building a healthy city according to the text?
A. Local culture. B. City planning.
C. Economic condition. D. Geographical position.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How the list of healthiest cities came into being.
B. What Spotahome discovered in the recent study.
C. The reasons why Spotahome carried out the study.
D. The places where the data of the study came from.
31. What can we learn from the text?
A. Cities in America lack enough sunshine.
B. The UK ranked higher than America in the list.
C. Australia and Canada have the best city planning.高 2017 级 英语 第 6页 共 10 页
D. Some people in Lagos may live a poor life.
32. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The best places to have a rich life
B. The happiest lifestyle in the world
C. The city factors affecting your health
D. The nice countries to keep healthy

Tuesday’s Amtrak derailment(脱轨) Philadelphia, which claimed eight lives and injured more
than 200 others, has turned the country’s attention to railroad safety. But for those commuters(每日
往 返 上 班 者 ) questioning whether or not to board the next train, statistics may offer some
reassurance.
According to the scientific journal Bandolier, the lifetime odds of dying on a passenger train in
the US are about one in 1, 871, 241. So trains are still one of the safest modes of transport; in 2013,
891 U.S. fatalities were linked to rail travel, while 32, 700 people were killed in highway accidents.
“Train accidents are rare,” Dr Zarembski, director of the railroad safety program, told The
Huffington Post. “Accident rate in 2014 was 2.2 accidents per million train miles, this number has
been declining steadily.” But if you are still concerned about safety—or if you're just curious about
which part of the train is the safest place to sit—science has an answer for that too.
The front car of a train is the most dangerous place in the event of a head-on collision, while
the last car is less safe if the train is rear-ended(追尾). In fact, trains are nine times more likely to
derail than to hit another train or car head-on or to get hit from behind, according to the Federal
Railroad Administration. The administration found that there were about 13,200 derailments from
2005 to 2014, compared with about 1, 450 collisions.
Studies suggest that broken rails or welds are the leading cause of derailment, and these
problems more often cause derailments near the front of the train. Therefore, choosing a car located
in the middle, or one or two back from the middle of the train may be the safest bet, Ross Capon,
president of the National Association of Railroad Passengers, told CBS New York.
If you can’t get a seat near the midpoint of a train, there’s another potential safety factor you
might want to consider—namely, which way your seat is facing. “I prefer rear facing so that in most
cases you are pushed back into the seat in the event of an emergency braking application,”
Zarembski said.
In general, aisle(过道) seats are safer than window seats, where a passenger is more likely to高 2017 级 英语 第 7页 共 10 页
come in contact with broken glass or be thrown out of the train, Capon told CBS New York. Of
course, in the very rare event of a catastrophic crash like Tuesday's, there's no guarantee that sitting
in a certain place or facing a certain way means you'll escape being injured.
33. What does the underlined word “fatalities” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Deaths. B. Rates. C. Accidents. D. Carriages.
34. In the first three paragraphs, the author is trying to ________.
A. describe objectively the serious consequences a derailment may bring about
B. urge people to consider carefully whether to board a train in the future
C. impress on people the poor management of American railway lines
D. persuade people with statistics that it is still safer to travel by train
35. After reading the passage, we can infer that it might be the safest to sit ________.
A. front facing on a window seat in the front cars
B. front facing on an aisle seat in the last few cars
C. rear facing on an aisle seat in the middle cars
D. rear facing on a window seat one car behind the middle

Children who have developed leadership skills are sure to have a bright future. 36 Not
only will they gain more self-esteem and interact more easily with their peers, they can also make
an impact on their community. These qualities will continue to develop as children grow up. Here
are simple techniques to develop children’s leadership qualities.
Discuss peer pressure. Children are often exposed to peer pressure and worry about how others
view them. 37 Leadership requires being socially involved, but still honoring personal
morals and standards. Discuss hypothetical ( 假 设 的 ) peer pressure situations and ask kids to
consider how they’d behave in different situations.
38 When they’re able to clearly show their thoughts, they feel more self-confident and
are able to deal with complex problems. You can help by encouraging children to speak out and by
listening seriously to their thoughts. Although many children go through rebellious stages, don’t
enforce silence. Instead, suggest self-expression.
Teach by example. 39 Even if they don’t express it aloud, children may see you as a role
model. Model leadership behavior by helping others, volunteering in leadership positions and taking
action in everyday life.
Develop children’s individual talents and encourage participation. Every child has potential for
leadership skills, but not every child develops skills in the same way. 40 A child might be a高 2017 级 英语 第 8页 共 10 页
talented athlete or skilled at painting and drawing. Find ways for kids to develop these skills in a
group setting, which promotes teamwork and social skills.
A. Encourage children to express themselves.
B. Pay attention to specific interests and abilities.
C. Find volunteer and community service opportunities.
D. Children start benefiting from leadership skills at any age.
E. Children with self-awareness have a greater ability to lead.
F. Children observe the adults in their lives, and value what they see.
G. Talk with your children about the importance of avoiding peer pressure.

that, Eli Beer hopes to save the day.
Beer is the founder of United Hatzalah, a volunteer-run organization in Israel, 44 to saving

emergencies. He then gave each of them a motorcycle equipped with medical 48 . Then the
volunteer went 49 to their daily lives.
United Hatzalah has a call center staffed 50 by volunteers. When someone calls to tell
them of an emergency, they answer it in three 51 or less. Then Beer’s technology calculates
which volunteer is closest to the 52 . As soon as that volunteer is notified(通知), he or she 53
everything and rushes over.
When a volunteer arrives, he or she 54 CPR(心肺复苏) if necessary, and uses the medical
equipment in the motorcycle to help the 55 . The goal is 56 : Keep the patient alive until the
regular ambulance arrives. According to Beer, an ambulance’s average response time is 12 to 15
minutes, while United Hatzalah volunteers 57 in three.
United Hatzalah’s medical care is 58 for patients because it’s run mostly by volunteers, and
donations cover the 59 of supplies and staff. It clearly shows the 60 of individuals willing
to use their abilities to help others.

nearby that stands for dreams. The message conveying was clear: try best to bathe ourselves in the
brilliance of our dreams. We must have dreams, and our lives will be pointless. So every one of us
should take actions to translate our dreams as reality. First of all, however difficulties we’ll meet,
