Reading or writing text messages (文本信息) while you are walking is dangerous. A new study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. The study is from the University of Buffalo (布法罗) in the USA. Researchers found that there are more injuries per kilometer to texting pedestrians than there are to texting motorists (开车人). Their report says walking is not as easy as we think it is. We need to focus on many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The research team said that people forget how to walk properly (恰当地), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump into walls and other people, walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes or down stairs.A University of Buffalo professor said walking is a complex (复杂的) action. He said there are several reasons why texting stops people from walking properly. One reason is that they cannot see the path ahead of them. Another is that they are focused on their fingers on their mobile phone keyboard instead of their feet on the street. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else and not on thinking about walking from A toB safely. The professor said over 6,000 people visited his hospital last year because they were injured while texting. He said the worst cases are head injuries (受伤). When a pedestrian is thrown into the air after being hit by a car, he/she has nothing to protect the head, and the damage can be serious.( ) 1. Texting while walking is more dangerous than texting ________.A. while runningB. when you are laughingC. while drivingD. when you are studying( ) 2. Walking is _____________ .A. a good actionB. an easy actionC. a waste of timeD. a complex action( ) 3. Which of the following is WRONG?A. The study is from the University of Buffalo in the USA.B. Dangerous things happen because people forget how to walk properly.C. walking is not as easy as we think it is.D. The professor said over 6,00 people visited his hospital last year because of texting while walking. ( ) 4. What does the underlined word “pedestrian” mean?A. 斑马线B.步行者C. 缺乏想象力的D. 火车( ) 5. What is the best title of this passage?A. It is Dangerous Texting while DrivingB. No TextingC. Walking AloneD. Think about Walking【参考答案】1-5 CDDBA二、完形填空。

AThe World’s Water ShortageThe world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent（百分比）of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent－the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other s ources（资源）. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing（增添）rapidly－almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid（防止）a severe （严重的）worldwide water shortage later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying（净化）plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves（储备）of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.If we ta ke these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _________ percent ofthe water covering the surface of the earth.A. 3B. more than 3C. less than 3D. 972. Which of the following statements is Not true?A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.C. There will be no water shortage in the future.D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.3. To reuse water, we should __________.A. treat it with chemicalsB. use it only onceC. send it out into a sewer systemD. make it flow into underground tanks4. In or der to have enough water, we should also make use of _________.A. icebergs and glaciersB. sea waterC. rivers and lakeD. underground water5. In the passage, the writer tells us ________.A. to make enough waterB. to pay more attention to the water shortage problemC. to pipe used water to a purifying plantD. to reuse the water参照答案CCABBBA Giant Cycling HolidayAre you between 12 and 20 years old?Are you looking for the perfect holiday?Would you like fun，new friends and a new experience by bike?We have the answer!
