A【原创】
Laura Dean-Mooney survived a wife's worst nightmare(恶梦). 18 years ago, a drunk driver killed her husband. They were married for only two and a half years. "I was left with an 8 1/2 month old baby to raise by myself," she recalls.
"My belief is you get through it. And you have a choice to be bitter or better." Mooney says. Mooney chose to be better by working for Mothers Against Drunk Driving or MADD, an organization that aims to reduce the number of drunks on the roads.
According to MADD, nearly 12,000 people die on the road every year in the U.S. because a driver has been drinking. That's a 40 percent drop since the 1980s. Drunk drivers continue to be a threat on the roads.
In the United States there are still more men than women who have been caught drunk behind the wheel. But in the last 10 years, the number of women who have been arrested for drunk driving has increased by up to 30 percent. "What you're hearing more is that women are under more pressure. They're now perhaps the bread winner with the unemployment rate. TV shows are now making it cool to be a mom that stays home and drinks," Mooney said.
To fight the threat of drunk driving, Concha-Eastman says the World Health Organization is asking nations to educate their citizens and increase police enforcement. "In countries where this problem happens it's where law enforcement is not fully applied," Concha-Eastman says. He adds, increasing the price of alcohol and limiting where and when alcohol is sold could also reduce the number of people who drink and drive.
1. According to the passage, members of MADD ______.
A. provide help for the drunk drivers.
B. make laws to limit drivers’ drinking
C. do something to prevent drunk-driving
D. talk with each other about their own misfortunes
2. To prevent drunk-driving, the government should do all the following except _______.
A. carrying out law enforcement
B. limiting the production of alcohol.
C. raising the price of alcohol in some areas
D. making people realize the harm of drunk-driving
3. How many people may lose their lives a week in America twenty-five years ago
A. about 84,000 B. about 140,000 C. about 210,000 D. about 50,400
4. According to the text, the main reason for female drunk driving is _______.
A. the need of their real life and spirit
B. following the practice of the males
C. the adventurous spirit of the females
D. the new interest of the modern females
本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲叙了酒后驾车危害人们生命及以团体、国家、社会等已采取和应该采取的措施。
1. C。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句,可知MADD成员的目标是阻止人们酒后驾驶,故C项正确。
2. B。细节理解题。根据最后一段,可知A、C、D三项正确,B项文中没有信息支持。
3. B。细节理解题。 根据三段可推算出在20世纪80年代在美国一天平均有20000人因车祸丧命,一周为14,000人丧命,故B项正确。
4. C。推理判断题。根据第四段,可推断出,女人喝酒是因生活压力过大及满足自己心理需要,故C正确。

【2013年温州市十校联合体高一(上)期末联考】
Billie Holiday was one of the greatest jazz singers in America. Her life was just a mixture of success and tragedy (悲剧). Her singing expressed her experiences and feelings.
Billie Holiday’s parents Sadie Fagan and Clarence Holiday were young when their daughter was born. Their marriage failed because Clarence Holiday was often out. He traveled as a musician with some of the earliest jazz bands and inspired his daughter. Sadie cleaned people’s houses to make a living. Later she moved to New York City where the pay was higher, for which she had to send her daughter to one of her relatives.
The young girl changed her name to Billie, because she liked a movie star, Billie Dove. The talented Billie Holiday loved singing. She sang and listened to music whenever she could. In one place near her home there was a machine that played records. The building was a theater where many famous singers also performed their newly-made songs for free. Billie cleaned floors and did other jobs for the theater so that she could listen to the records. It was there that young Billie first heard the records of some famous black American blues artists of the 1920s. She heard Bessie Smith sing the blues. And she heard Louis Armstrong play the horn.

【望江四中2012---2013学年第一学期高一英语期末试卷】
As prices and house costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) is popular in the U.S. "We needed furniture(家具)for our living room, "says John Ross, "and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to make a few tables and chairs by ourselves." John got married six months ago, and the same as many young people these days, they are competing to make a home when the cost of living is very high. So he and his wife took a 2-week class for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim has three boys and his wife died. So he has a full-time job at home. He also has a full-time in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420."I was deeply upset(失望) about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."
