It was the last time I felt 24 to him.After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered much by this thought. I was proud of it, for I felt 25 and ―grown up. However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 26 from him.One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, 27 me scratching (乱吐，勾抹) the paper. Then he said,―This kind of writing needs 28 .Your writing is not strong enough.

Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn‟t that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother‟s “helpful instructions (指示)” only made me more n ervous.Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortably learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical (典型的) father-daughter relationship. He‟d ask how school was, and I‟d say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, “basic body” gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.Dad‟s sud den chattiness (爱讲话) was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years, I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, but I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently (因此), I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn‟t enough — it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.36.T he author couldn‟t practice driving with her mother because ________.A. she couldn‟t talk with her m otherB. her father wanted to teach herC. her mother made her nervousD. she didn‟t trust her mother37. What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?A. Her Dad liked modern music.B. Her Dad was the best teacher.C. Her Dad was a chatty person.D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.38. With her story “Car Talk”, the author indicates that ________.A. fathers love their daughters dearlyB. mothers are less patient than fathersC. family members need real communicationD. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationshipBIt is quite reasonable to blame (指责) traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver‟s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire (欲望) to beat back (反击) when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave, of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere (氛围) of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don‟t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is that a driver waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless (无错误的), told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream (潮流) without causing total jams that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfor tunately, modern drivers can‟t even learn to drive, let alone (更不要说) master the roadmanship (驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take (互让，妥协) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.39.What‟s the best little of the passage above?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic JamsC. Good MannersD. Modern Drivers40.Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.A. great speedB. traffic jamsC. terrible road conditionsD. the behaviors of the drivers41.According to the writer, a good driver should ________.A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feelD. encourage children to cross the roads whenever they want to42.It is not always right for drivers to ________.A. encourage old ladies to cross the roadB. create atmosphere of good willC. master roadmanshipD. give a friendly nod to show politenessCIt‟s 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home.Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: “R U awake?”Brandon‟s use of technology doesn‟t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台) in his room. With so many choices, it‟s no surprise that when he isn‟t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices (电子设备). How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion (爆发) in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a ti me. “If you‟ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out (闲逛) with friends. “It‟s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “You‟ve got to work on it.”Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It‟s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check (在控制中) is more important than ever. “Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “but parents might have to step in sometimes.”43.Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices (电子设备)?A. Because more electronic devices are available to them.B. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.44.It is known from the passage that ________.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 40% in the past five yearsC. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids‟ increasing use of mobile devicesD. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies45.According to the passage, Victoria Rideout would probably agree that ________.A. kids should do homework while surfing the InternetB. kids should do homework in a place without disturbanceC. kids should spend more time on homeworkD. kids should have more homework than before第二卷（非选择题，共45分）第四部分词汇检测（共10小题；每空格1分，满分10分）根据所给中文或首字母，写出下列各句空格处的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致，并将答案写在答题纸上。
