An east China highway pile-up on April 2nd has killed three people and injured 31 others. That day was the first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated. Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22 remain
13
hospitalized, Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at Weibo.com.
The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing. It drew public attention as people began posting photos and videos on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo. Images showed dozens of trucks, buses and cars crashed into each other. People were standing on top of the vehicles.
Local police told Xinhua Press that at least two trucks, three buses and 20 cars were involved. Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads.
What’s more, it was difficult for ambulances (救护车)to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles, which delayed the rescue of the injured.
The Ministry (部长) of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy.
All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane. Some drivers, however, pay no attention to this rule. Therefore, the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved.
The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潜在的) danger. The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (违规者) and heavily fine drivers for it.
28．Which of the following might be the cause of the traffic accident?
A．It was rainy and foggy that day.
B．people passing by took photos there.
C．Many drivers stood on top of the vehicles.
D．Drivers don’t know about the life emergency lane.
29．About the accident, which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．There was no life emergency lane at the scene of the accident.
B．In China, the left side of the highway is used as life emergency lane.
C．The life emergency lane at the scene of the accident was full of vehicles.
D．The police have decided to reduce electronic monitoring instruments after the accident.
30．According to the passage, why do the police ask drivers to be off the emergency lane?
A．They want to get a chance to fine drivers heavily.
B．They want to catch as many violations as possible.
C．They want to leave the injured more hope of being saved.
D．They have received orders from Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo.

The Smallest Life Around Us
Tiny plants and animals live all around us. We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.
They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside
13
your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines(肠).
These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.
Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.
People did not know microbes had existed(存在) long. They were too small for them to see.
But people did see many changes in their world—important changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected(感染). They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.
31. Why couldn’t people see microbes?
A. Because they are too small. B. Because they live inside our body.
C. Because they live far from humans.
D. Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive.
32. The underlined phrase “crumble apart” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. grow taller B. change into soil
C. break into tiny pieces D. become colourful and energetic
33. Choose the answer that completes the web below.
Evidence that
microbes exist
Leaves disappear
into soil
Cuts and wounds
get red and painful
?
A. Microbes are very small B. Microbes are all around us
C. People can’t see microbes D. Food begins to smell bad
D
The willful blindness in hockey toward concussions (头部撞击) has dropped. Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking (身体拦截) below age 13. A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey’s greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country’s children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change. The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.
The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill
13
development in an environment free of danger. It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don’t enjoy that environment.
For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages. True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries. When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(强制的) for all coaches, including those teaching players in the pre-checking ages. And it began to allow more “touch” - without real bodychecking － from 9 to 12. It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter. The USA is trying to show that it’s possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting 11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger. It’s worth the try.
Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head. However, it’s hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country. Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball. Children were paying a price for this country’s love of the game.
There are always changes in Canada’s game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的) in the game.
34. We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada _______.
A. is controlled strictly B. is taken more seriously now
C. is caused by players’ carelessness D. is connected with players’ interest
35. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. The safe ways of controlling the loss. B. The steps of drawing special attention.
C. The possible results of changing the rules. D. The methods of improving the environment.
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking.
B. Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful.
C. Bodychecking is a good way to value players’ skills in the USA.
D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking.
37. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Which is more important in hockey. B. How we change the hockey rules.
C. Why hockey is a dangerous game. D. When bodychecking should be prevented.

Learning can take place in a classroom, in a meeting room, or even on a ship. Life experiences offer the students some of the best education on the earth. Of those life experiences, travel offers the best returns(回报).
For international travelers, the lessons are the greatest. Taking that first step to cross the ocean by plane or boat is a risk. It teaches people to see more and people can go beyond one land, one country, and one set way of thinking and doing things.
International travel opens up the mind with different cultures. Travelers see how different people do things in different lands. While this experience is exciting for adults, children get the greatest insights(洞察力) during the international exploration. It will help to form their understanding from a very young age. It will help them understand that differences among people and cultures can be quite exciting and wonderful in its own way. Fashion, art, science, transportation, religion（宗教）, geography, geology（地质学） and social studies are all areas of learning outside of the books when
13
traveling abroad. There is no other way that can teach so much information in such a short time.
You can learn more from travel than from any other educational experience. If you take no notice of everything you see, then surely you will learn nothing at all. But, if you are curious enough to look for new experiences through travel, you can learn more from travel than from any course in any university on the earth!
Topic: Learning while traveling
Travel
Of the life experiences, travel is the 1 way to get education.
International travel
Traveling 2 teaches people to see more and helps people to have more ways of thinking and doing things.
Adults will feel 3 while children will get deeper insights and form their understanding when they are young.
It is the 4 way to learn so much information in such a short time.

Whether or Not Should Junior 3 Students Go Spring Outing?
We have had a heated discussion on whether Junior students should go spring outing. 65 percent students think that they should go spring outing because they can be close to nature. They can also hear the sounds of the running water and the blowing wind.It can bring peace to their mind and body. However, 35 percent students don’t agree. They think they have too much homework to do and it’s a waste of time. In my opinion/I think going outing has many advantages over other activities. We can feel relaxed if we go spring outing. We can also achieve a balance between work and rest.
