Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2013·大纲卷)In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness,Richard Burton,Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团).It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time,the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University,and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator(行政人员) was first employed only in 1971,and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

B
(2013·武汉调研测试)There are some new drivers going back to school.Teens who have recently gotten their driver's licenses may be taking the wheel to drive to school this fall.However,parents fear when their teen starts driving.And it turns out that such parental fears are justified-so it's worth reviewing how to keep your teen safe while he or she is behind the wheel.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in U.S.teens.Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk for crashes.In fact,their risk is 4 times greater than for older drivers.The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male,those carrying other teenage passengers in the car,and those still in their first year of driving.Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays,Saturdays or Sundays between the hours of 3 p.m. and midnight.
Why are teens at higher risk for motor vehicle crashes?
Development.Teens haven't completely matured mentally and have greater risk-taking behaviors,possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior.Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.
No seatbelts.Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelts use among all driving groups.
Alcohol.At least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to alcohol use.
Technological distractions(分散注意力).Cell phones,texting,MP3 players,and the like can all distract drivers greatly-and who more than teenagers?
Be aware of your teen's driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves.Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen's use of technology while driving.Some applications alert you to when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving.Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running—incoming messages get an automatic reply(e.g,“I'm driving right now”),and phone calls go directly to voicemail.You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program.There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver's whereabouts at all times.All in all,you can't be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.
[文章大意]本文主要就青少年驾车容易遭遇车祸,其事故率比成人大得多,分析了其原因并给家长提出了合理的建议。
5.What factor is least related to the teen drivers' high risks of crashes?
A.Driver age.       B.Passenger gender.
C.Driving experience.  D.Driving time.
解析:细节理解题。文章第二段第二行提到了驾驶者的年龄“Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk for crashes.”,文章第二段第五、六行提到了驾驶者的驾驶经验“and those still in their first year of driving”,文章第二段结尾处提到事故多发生在周五或周末的下午三点至午夜“Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays,Saturdays or Sundays between the hours of 3 p.m.and midnight.”
答案:B
6.Teens probably turn away their attention from driving when they are________.
A.using no seatbelts  B.drinking water
C.carrying passengers  D.answering cell phones
解析:细节理解题。“Technological distractions(分散注意力).Cell phones,texting,MP3 players,and the like can all distract drivers greatly”可知D正确。
答案:D
7.According to the passage,which should be prevented during teens' driving?
A.Texting.  B.GPS programs.
C.Automated replies.  D.Voicemail
解析:细节理解题。文章最后一段第三句“Some applications alert you to when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving.”可知texting是开车时应该避免的行为。
答案:A
8.The author writes the last paragraph in order to________.
A.offer parents practical suggestions
B.summarize teen's driving practices
C.advocate different driving habits
D.establish examples for the future
解析:作者意图题。以最后一段“Be aware of your teen's driving practices and discuss safe...”及“Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen's...”及“There are also GPS programs...”及“All in all,you can't be too cautious when teaching...”可以看出作者是在建议。

__13__ he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little __14__ (hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turned to look at him, they had to look at Mary, __15__ made her feel like a star.
“Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?”the teacher asked. The new boy shook his head. “Then I'd appreciate it if you didn't wear them in class. I like to look at your eyes when I'm speaking to you.”The new boy looked at the teacher __16__ a few seconds and all the other students wondered __17__ the boy would do. Then he took __18__ off, gave a big smile and said, “That's cool.”
