In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standingby the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you'd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, “I don't want to get involved” has become a national motto.Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line:“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?The idea intrigued me.The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge witha 50pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles:“America”.For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4, 223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.1.Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?A.Because he failed to notice this man.B.Because he was driving too fast.C.Because he thought the young man didn't need help.D.Because he was afraid of being tricked.2.What was it that made the author upset?A.Leaving the young man alone in the desert.B.Being considered a fool.C.Making the decision of not offering help so easily.D.Keeping thinking about the young man.3.The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ________.A.find out how long he could survive without helpB.go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environmentC.find out whether strangers would offer help to himD.figure out how strangers thought of his plan4.In the passage, the author described his journey as a gamble because ________.A.he was not so sure of the outlook of the journeyB.he had no money to give to strangersC.he was sure of the coming sufferingsD.he wasn't sure whether to make the journey5.The following part might probably ________.A.describe how he fooled the strangersB.describe how strangers went out their way to help himC.explain why people refused to help strangersD.explain how he overcame his difficulties on the way答案课时跟踪检测(三十九)Ⅰ.1.选C 考查交际用语。

Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured.All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%.In nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol level was at least 0.096%.The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be discovered by an ABT.They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.For 11 of the 27 energy drinks, the ABT did find the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken.However, alcohol could not be discovered for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed.This shows that when the test is taken plays an important role in the test result.The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks, the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.6.What is the legal alcohol level for a 20-year-old driver in the US?A.0.000%.B.0.005%.C.0.080%.D.0.096%.7.What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment?A.To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels.B.To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results.C.To warn people of the dangers of drinking energy drinks.D.To change the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States.8.The under lined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A.the things that are being discussedB.areas of knowledge studied in schoolC.the participants in an experimentD.the people who belong to a country9.Which of the following affects the ABT test result most for energy drink consumers?A.The age of the person who takes the test.B.The place where the test is given.C.The equipment that the test uses.D.The time when the test is taken.10.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.A driver whose blood alcohol level is found to be 0.1% will be arrested.B.No energy drinks really cause anyone to test positive on an ABT.C.Few popular energy drinks contain alcohol in them.D.Those taking an ABT 15 minutes after drinking alcohol cannot be found out.答案Ⅰ.1.选B句意:“Victor,你现在有空吗?我想请你帮个忙。

So, afterour baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of thefamily while my wife works fulltime outside the home,”saidYang.Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations.Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family.Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with “no prospects” or wife who is “too strong”.Zhou Wei said he has become usual to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this when they gathered during the holidays. “A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples’opinions,” added Zhou.1.The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that ________.A.it is too difficult for him to do itB.it is too boring for him to do itC.he is too old to go on doing itD.his wife wanted him to quit it解析:选B细节理解题。

Ⅱ.阅读理解In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda V ale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.“We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84 hectares—or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter, the V ales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”,smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.The book's playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”,by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources, Robert V ale said.“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking acloth bag to the supermarket,” he said.“It's about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”16.
