27、In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression（侵略）in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans as well. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often and we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But more often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

【1】The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.

B. he relies much on others

C. some people pretend to be kind

D. some people fail to see the kindness in others

【3】In this passage, the author advises us to ______.

A. handle problems by ourselves

B. accept help from others

C. admit our weakness

D. show our bravery

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Wheel Chair Experience.

B. Weakness and Kindness.

C. Weakness and Strength

D. A Driving Experience

28、   Once a blind man fell flat on his face, which was awful but finally harmless. His service dog, however, was trained lo tum to an adult if the owner had an epileptic seizure (癫瘤发作). While the dog did what it was taught, the first person it found was merely annoyed but not alarmed. Thankfully, the dog’s owner was not in the situation of medical emergency. But the experience inspired him to share this information on social media, “If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help,” the owner explained. “Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, and follow the dog! If the first person doesn’t cooperate, it moves on.

Referring to the accident, a TV presenter asked a dog trainer, Olivia, some basic questions about service dogs, including how humans should react if an unaccompanied service dog approaches them.

“What they’re going to do is sniff and gently push your leg,” the trainer explained, specifically noting that service dogs are not usually trained to jump or bark. “If you see a dog in a vest without a person around it, follow it.” When asked if one should say something to indicate they’re prepared to follow the dog, Olivia said,” there’s no clear command. Just start walking wherever the dog leads.”

Olivia concluded the TV show by adding that those who rely on service dogs could train their companions to move along to someone else, if the first person the dog came upon reacted negatively to its request. Doing so could finally save the owner’s life.

【1】What does the underlined word “him” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．the TV presenter

B．the dog trainer

C．the blind man

D．the writer

【2】In the owner’s emergency, a service dog will generally ________.

A．run home for help of families immediately

B．jump or bark to draw people’s attention

C．find the nearby person and “ask” for help

D．stay beside the owner until the owner recovers

【3】How should people react to an unaccompanied service dog?

A．Follow it to anywhere it leads.

B．Communicate with it through commands.

C．Keep it home until finding its owner.

D．Take it to the nearest police station.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of sharing the story?

A．To encourage everyone to help disabled people.

B．To introduce a talk show about service dogs.

C．To teach how to train service dogs well.

D．To spread knowledge of dealing with service dogs.

29、With the death of congestion pricing which was aimed to charge drivers for driving private cars downtown to ease traffic, New York City is left with drivers still stuck in traffic and riders packed like sardines. How else can we ease traffic jams and provide decent and affordable bus and subway service?

Gov. David Paterson took the first step yesterday by thinking of identifying new ways to improve mass transportation. With the income from congestion pricing gone, the city meets with heavy burden from its proposed $29.5 billion five-year capital program. In killing congestion pricing, the city acknowledged that the program is “severely underfunded” and that the shortfall has to be the first area of concern. Now we need other sources of funding or increases real estate and gasoline taxes that finance the authority.

The state should now conduct a detailed environmental review of all choices for reducing traffic. Many legislators who opposed congestion pricing expressed concern that the previous plan had been given truncated environmental review, where sufficient study under the State Environmental Quality Review Act was called for. There’s time now for an all-out study of all traffic-reducing choices, from restrictions on driving days based on license plate numbers to mandated car pooling（强制共乘）. Many parties of interests, however, argue that the measures, similar to the congestion pricing, make no better sense in solving the problem.

The legislature should also give New York City the tools it needs to make buses go faster.   New York has the most upsetting buses in America: it takes more time to take the M15 bus from New York’s Harlem to City Hall than to travel by “Amtrak” train from New York to Philadelphia. It doesn’t have to be this way. Other cities have demonstrated that buses go faster when more dedicated (专用的) bus lanes are provided, when cameras mounted on buses are used to issue tickets to keep cars out of bus lanes and when traffic signals are designed to give buses priority.

Finally, the state should allow the city to issue residential parking permits. A study showed that 45 percent of traffic in Brooklyn New York, consists of cars looking for parking spots. Residential parking permits would discourage drivers from using neighborhood streets as a parking lot, which is definitely good news to the traffic.

【1】“Congestion pricing” was mainly used to ________.

A．increase fund to finance railway system

B．reduce the prices for taking public transportation

C．discourage driving private cars in New York city

D．give more attention to environmental quality review

【2】The underlined word “truncated” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.

A．incomplete

B．outlined

C．flat

D．adequate

【3】The author refers to “Amtrek” in order to demonstrate that ________.

A．American railway system is very efficient

B．Traveling by trains takes less time than by bus in America

C．Bus transportation within New York city is slow

D．Public traffic service in America is of poor quality

【4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A．The lack of financial support is an important problem the city faces.

B．All cars are forbidden to drive on particular days to help relieve traffic.

C．Fining private car drivers for taking bus lanes makes buses faster.

D．Lack of parking spots contributed to traffic jams in Brooklyn.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请在答题纸的相应位置作答。

I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Raine. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused as my dad was very fierce and strict. After much persuasion, I gave in. There was a Will Smith movie on and I was a fan.

So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. As we were early, the lights were still on. We watched people come in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students playing truant (逃学) like us.

As I turned around, I caught a glimpse of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn't want to see and Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking "Who? And where? "loudly. It made me sit even lower in my seat.

To make things worse, they came and sat in the row behind us and were saying to each other how I would have loved to come to this movie as I adored Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students playing truant. Soon the movie began and I was glad when the lights were turned off. But I didn’t enjoy the movie at all for fear of being spotted. So, I sat there like an astronaut, peering over the front seat. Every now and then I would sneak a peek at my aunt and uncle.

Paragraph 1:

I was sure they were looking at me.
