题型:不详难度:来源:
Driving a car is not just handing controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgement and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
·50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
·22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
·67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK$25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
小题1: The first paragraph is mainly about       .
A.the introduction of driving skills
B.the damage of drinking to your body
C.the effect of drinking on driving
D.the process of alcohol being absorbed
小题2: The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “       ”.
A.alcoholB.absorptionC.bloodD.process
小题3: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B.Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
C.Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D.50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.

举一反三
When you learn reading, nlath, and other subjects taught in school from your parents or teaehers who come to your house, it’s called homeschooling. A kid may be the only one, or he may be taught with brothers, sisters, or kids from the neighborhood.
Parents choose to homeschool their children for many different reasons. Sometimes a kid is sick and can’t go to regular school. But more often, kids are homeschooled beeause their parents feel they can give their children a better education than the local school can. Patents also may choose homeschooling because they want their children’s education to include religious (宗教的) instruction, which isn’t offered at puhlie schools.
If you don’t like school, homeschooling might seem like the perfect solution. But it’s better for everyone if homeschooling isn’t chosen just as an escape from school or prohlems there. Finding solutions to the problem should be the first step.
Kids who are homeschooled may benefit from the one-on-one attention. For example, if you don’t understand something in math, the whole class won’t he moving on without you. You might be the whole class! It’s also possible that you might learn more than you would in a regular classroom, because if you really good at something, you can keep learning more at your own pace.
Kids who are homeschooled also may get out in their communities more than other kids. They may get to experience hands-on education at museums, libraries, businesses and other community resources. They also might volunteer or take part in “service learning” where they take on local projects.
No matter where a child goes to school, the key to learning is listening to the teacher and asking for help when you need it. A homeschooled child might feel more comfortable with his teacher (a parent), but the child still needs to pay attention and cooperate. Just like in a traditional school, teachers and students need to work together to achieve goals in the classroom.

Boys" schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to obey a stereotype (陈规旧俗), a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys" learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study"s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them.Because boys generally have more acute vision learn best through touch, an are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around; "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modem type in which violence and sexism are major themes, "James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotype that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships."In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
小题1:The author believes that a single-sex school would ____.
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
C.help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys
D.naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man
小题2:It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ____.
A.perform relatively better
B.grow up more healthily
C.behave more responsibly
D.receive a better education
小题3:What docs Tony Little say about the British education system?
A.It fails more boys than girls academically.
B.It focuses more on mixed school education.
C.it fails to give boys the attention they need.
D.It places more pressure on boys than on girls.

A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted

Moving away from one"s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too.It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs.Meanwhile they live in bad conditions.The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.

I visited the nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work is now done by robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing, and many other jobs are performed by robots now.
The whole dashboard (仪表板) of the car is now put into the car from above, through the windshield, by a robot. It would have taken two men to do this in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit. It got me thinking: is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They aren’t likely to make many mistakes, and if something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing, every time, without fail. A human worker is never able to do exactly the same thing every time. On the other hand, robots also reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (补偿) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burn himself while welding.
The obvious downside to all of this is that it increases the unemployment rate. The company will have to bring in some very talented individuals who know how to operate the robots. Unlike regular factory workers, these intelligence workers usually demand a higher pay.
小题1:We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.
A.all the workers are replaced by robots now
B.robots do much of the work instead of workers now
C.there were no workers in the car factory
D.the author’s uncle made robots in the factory
小题2:According to the text robots _______.
A.can do work as accurately as workers
B.never break down
C.can do exactly the same thing repeatedly
D.ask for less money from companies
小题3:The underlined word "downside" in the last paragraph probably means "_______".
A.weaknessB.favorC.assistanceD.strength
小题4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A.companies refuse to pay for intelligence workers
B.robots have helped all of the workers
C.robots can help solve the problem of unemployment
D.using robots in factories widely will have a long way to go
小题5:What is the author’s attitude towards using robots in factories?
A.He is doubtful about it.B.He thinks it necessary.
C.He is strongly against it.D. The text doesn’t mention it.
