However, he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp. Ms. Lightner was very angry about that ,so she organized Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), which later changed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The aim of her organization was to raise public awareness of the serious nature of drunk driving and to promote tough legislation （立法）against the crime. Before Ms. Lightners MADD, intoxication (醉酒), including drunk driving, was not taken seriously. Intoxication was often used as an excuse for otherwise unacceptable behavior: “I didnt know what I was doingI was drunk.” Candy Lightner appeared on major television shows, spoke before the US Congress, make speech to professional and business groups, and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes, change judicial(審判的) behavior, and promote tough new legislation. Later, Ms. Lightner left MADD because the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. “I didnt start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.” The President of the United States awarded her the Presidents Volunteer Action Award and she was the subject of the movie “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers: the Candy Lightner Story”.21.

A. make the public aware of the danger of drunk driving B. fight against the drunk hit-and-run drivers on the roadC. make new laws against crimes caused by drinkingD. warn people not to drink alcohol while driving22. Which way didnt Ms. Lightner use to achieve her MADDs goals?A. Talking on major TV shows. B. Giving a talk to businessmen.C. Applying for a job with the government. D.

MADD didnt get much support from society24. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Ways to prevent drunk driving B. Purposes of founding MADD C. New law against drunk drivingD. Candy Lightner and her MADDBObama Still Smokes in SecretUS President Barack Obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers. He has just signed a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products.At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of smokers who took up the habit before their 18th birthday.Obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hadnt completely kicked the habit. Every now and then he still smokes in secret.“As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time. Do I still smoke sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.” Obama said at a news conference.“I don t do it in front of my ladsI don t do it in front of my familyI would say that I am 95% cured, but there are times when I mess up, " he said"Once you go down this path, it s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law is so importantThe new law is not about me, it s about the next generation of kids coming upWhat we don t want is kids going down that path," he saidNearly 20% of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases25The new law makes life difficult for .A.

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression“ to lead a dogs life”describes a person who has an unhappy life. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. Still, people say, “ every dog has its day.”This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. But mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Dog expressions also are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.28. A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as “_”. A. becoming sick as a dog B. leading a dogs life C. living in a dog-eat-dog world D. Working like a dog29. The underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “_”. A. violent B. selfish C. wild D. Poor30. What can we learn from the text? A. Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old. B. It might be difficult for the young to learn new skills. C. Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement. D. Fierce persons arent so awful as their appearance sometimes.31. To support his idea, the author develops the text mainly by _. A. listing reasons B. using idiomsC. giving examples D. Making comparisonsDMiriam Kotacka doesnt want to wait for her future. She is only 16, yet she is due to graduate from high school in a few weeks. Then she can begin training full time as a ballet dancer. She has been able to speed her education by taking a semester s worth of classes on her computer. She has studied all her subjects in virtual (虛擬的)classrooms where teachers were present only through instant massaging, emails or occasional video links. Online classes, already common at the college level, are becoming popular in Chicago-area high school-and even middles schools-promising to help quick learners and slow learners to get the most from their education. But not everyone joins the bandwagon. Critics say the trend is more about saving money than improving education, and whether online courses can produce good results remains unproven.Still, some observers believe the trend is likely to accelerate. They say some fast-growing high schools will introduce online classes to keep students out of the building, so they wont have to set up new buildings. However, since students and teachers wont meet face to face, online students may cheat in exams. It is harder to be monitored.Gene Glass, a researcher at the National education Policy Center said research has so far failed to prove that online instruction is superior to face-to-face education. Jeff Hunt, who runs Indian Prairies online program, gave a warning to those who want to make Internet-based learning a real success.32. We can learn from the text that Miriam Kotacka _.A. will turn 16 in a few weeks.B. will continue practicing dancing in a college.C. took every high school subject on her computer.D. learned faster by taking online classes than by going to school33. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by _.A. studies well in a college.B. learns very fastC. supports online classesD. Affords to attend online classes.34.Why do some people not support the trend towards online classes?A. Because slow learners cannot learn as much as quickly learners. B. Because teachers cannot help students to solve problems in timeC. Because online classes are not suitable for high school students.D. Because no research shows that online classes lead to good results.35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Online classes are popular with university students. B. Online classes can help schools to become larger.C. Online classes are monitored while doing their homework.D. Online classes help save money and improve education.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. 1.
