“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is no likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”
1.Robert Salzar would probably agree that .
A. overweight passengers should buy two seats
B. the government should help produce safer planes
C. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised
D. passengers should know how to protect themselves
【答案】C
【技巧解析】本题是推理判断题。定位题干关键词Robert Salzar到said Robert Salazar，分析其话语内容可知：体重较重的人乘坐时，座椅在坠机事故中没有预设的作用明显，座椅无法保证乘客安全，且肥胖乘客周围人会受到波及。这表明，Robert Salzar关注的焦点是seats性能不够，言下之意是要对座椅进行改进。C项符合。

Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.
Arctic Cliff Face
A cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.
Auckland’s Sky Tower
Auckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.
1.What do the three places have in common?
A. They are popular with climbers. B. They all have beautiful scenery.
C. They are a bit life-threatening. D. They have been visited by celebrities.
【答案】C
【技巧解析】本题是推理判断题。根据Victoria Falls中的“very dangerous”，Arctic Cliff Face中的“A cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping”，Auckland’s Sky Tower中的“this scary structure”可推知三个景点都有些危险，故答案为C项。

I know you think these notes are silly. I have watched you wear a long face over the years when I give them to you. But understand that sometimes I want to tell you something and I want to get it just right. Putting it down on paper helps me do that. I wish I had been a better writer. I wish I had gone to college. If I had, I think I would have studied English and maybe my vocabulary would have improved. So many times I feel I am using the same words over and over. Like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring!

I grew up with a fat dad — 450 pounds at his heaviest.Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.
Over the years, I have grown to better understand my father' s struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and those who love him. I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain. And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it), as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.
1.What kind of person was actually the author's father?
A. He was a man of vanity and selfishness.
B. He didn't like to eat with his family.
C. He was more painful than selfish.
D. He forced his family to eat what he liked.
【答案】C
【技巧解析】本题是推理判断题。该题需要根据选项和相应文本内容判断。A关键词“vanity”，“selfishness”见于第二段第二句“I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain.”，由该句可知，A错误；B关键词“family”见于第一段第二句“Every week he would try a new diet, and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.”，可知，不是不喜欢跟家人一起吃饭；C关键词“painful”同样见于第二段第二句“I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain.”，该句为结构not...as much as...（没有……那么……），即痛苦（pain）要大于vanity (自负) or selfishness，C正确。D也与B项出处有关，爸爸吃的并不是他喜欢吃的，而是被迫拿来减肥的节食餐。

Dooring is not a legal problem. You cannot legislate (制定法律) it away. Designing bike paths so riders are channelled between moving cars and parked cars is deadly.

While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but important to the future of society. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue (累积) to the whole of society as today’s children become tomorrow’s citizens. In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money, is equal to 20-30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits — as they clearly do — the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.
1. Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice?
A. Parenting is regarded as a moral duty.
B. Parenting relies largely on social support.
C. Parenting produces huge moral benefits.
D. Parenting is basically a social undertaking.
【答案】D
【技巧解析】本题是推理判断题。由题干“Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice”可知关键词为“classifying parenting as a personal choice”，那么定位到“To classify parenting as a personal choice ...is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting”——将自己带孩子划分为没有集体责任的个人选择，忽视了良好抚养的社会利益，由此可推断，作者的意思是良好的家庭抚养不是个人的事情，而是关系到整个社会的事。对比选项，故选D符合语义。

However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting for ever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a good job in life, or provide income for their families, which would hurt the lives of children.
1. According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of _____.
A. motivational will B. mental ability
C. adventurous ambitions D. needed goods
【答案】A
【技巧解析】本题是推理判断题。由题干“According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of _____.”可知，问的是“有童真的人缺乏什么而损害了经济”，那么根据本段“those with innocence would...never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive.”可知，innocence会让人缺乏动力（the urge），这与A项的“motivational will”意义一致。而B项“mental ability”主要指的是智力等方面的能力，文章原文强调的却是做事的动力，所以选A项。

It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.
1. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?
A. He was sorry about his reputation.
B. He was regretful about his behavior.
C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.
