Unit 4 Earthquakes**阅读理解。
“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.1.Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. I ran out into the street angrily.c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.d. I recalled my happy childhood.e. I began to walk about in the street without any aim.A. e, b, d, c, aB. b, e, d, c, aC. b, e, c, d, aD. e, b, c, a, d2.According to the author, why did his father often shout at him?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the son had already grown up.C. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.D. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.3.What did the author mean by the underlined sentence “My heart was frozen on this hot summer night”?A. He felt lonely because there were so few people on the street.B. He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night.C. He didn’t know where to go at all.D. He had a bad cold on such a hot day.4.What was the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He loved his father.B. He was worried about his father.C. He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.【文章大意】因思维不同和观点迥异，父子俩仿佛是来自两个不同世界的人，两个人心里隔着一道铁门。

Earthquakes李仕才【阅读理解】At present we spend a lot of time on our mobile devices these days and automakers have taken notes, rolling out connected cars that make it easy to do nearly everything from your phone.“We all enjoy those kinds of experiences where you want something and by the push of a button everything gets taken care of for you.You don’t have to go here and there and piece a bunch of things together by yourself. ”Ford recently introduced FordPass, a mobile platform that lets car owners access services like finding and paying for a parking spot.“Here’s the details of what charge s will be in sign, and then I submit (点击接受), and then I receive a QRphoto allowing me entry access to that parking location. ”Over at Buick, the OnStar RemoteLink app connects owners to their cars no matter how faraway they are. “This car in Detroit, I co uld start from here in New York.

Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait.But l ifts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U．S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U．S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases wellbeing，”said Ellen J．Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their nameseither.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computercontrolled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”， they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的。

Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right.I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowed. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fast when you were ready.＂3No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the aut hor’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂kick up my heels＂ at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【语篇解析】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。

Earthquakes李仕才一、阅读理解。
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense.It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way toward reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能)．Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveand take(互谅互让) from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.【解题导语】随着车辆的增多，很多司机都有可怕的路怒症，甚至不知道什么是文明交通。

Unit 4 Earthquakes李仕才***阅读理解“Clothes Swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women.At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return.Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield，Virginia.It was the largest crowd ever for the area's popular clothingswapping group.Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT，Ann Taylor is a really good women's designer and I will totally wear this to work.So I love that，and I love that I can equip myself for work，have a good time in doing it，and not totally bankrupt(使破产)myself.”Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thro wn away.“Because it helps to keep the Earth green.There's no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what are already here.Give them a new home—let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Pratt organized the clothes swap event in Springfield.She also organized a moneyraising activity for the high school's debate team.It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes.Another is by donating all of the “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“I started doing this four years ago, and we've been doing it for four years，getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”She used the social media website to help publicize the events.The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300.Ms.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules.But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong.“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover(徘徊)over the new people coming in with their clothing.As they put it out，some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a freeforall.We try to avoid that as much as possible.”1．Women can ________ at a clothes swap.A．exchange unwanted clothing for something differentB．buy whatever clothing they likeC．have a social gathering and make friendsD．make some money by giving away unwanted clothing2．We can learn from what Daphne Steinberg said that ________.A．she had been to a clothes swap for the first timeB．she experienced the largest clothes swap ever in the areaC．she got some clothes she likes at the clothes swapD．she saved much more money than she had expected3．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A．What Kim Pratt did with the unswapped clothing.B．How Kim Pratt started the clothes swap event.C．What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.D．How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A．clothes swaps are often out of control in the endB．inappropriate behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlledC．clothes swapping is becoming increasingly popular with American women D．more clothes swap events need to be organized【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
文章介绍了在Springfield的一所高中举办的“交换衣服”活动，详细介绍了活动组织人Kim Pratt组织该活动的初衷、意义和存在的问题等。
【难句分析】“Clothes Swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women.分析：该句为主从复合句。
which has become increasingly popular among American women为which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词an activity。
译文：“交换衣服”是一项越来越受美国女士欢迎的活动。
1．A 考查细节理解。
根据第一段第二句“At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return”可知，在“交换衣服”活动中，女士可以给出自己不想要的衣服，得到一些不同的衣服，故A项正确。
2．C 考查细节理解。
根据第三段中Daphne Steinberg所说的话“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT，Ann Taylor is a really good women's designer and I will totally wear this to work”可知，Daphne Steinberg在这次“交换衣服”活动中得到了她喜欢的Ann Taylor设计的衣服，并会穿着它去上班，故C项正确。
3．C 考查段落大意。
通读第五段可知，该段主要介绍了Kim Pratt为帮助需要帮助的人组织的多个活动，包括“交换衣服”活动、为Springfield的一所高中的辩论队组织的筹款活动、捐赠衣服给家庭暴力受害者庇护所的活动，故C项正确。
4．B 考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a freeforall.We try to avoid that as much as possible”可推知，在“交换衣服”活动中，对一些不恰当的行为应该加以控制，故B 项正确。
A项在文中没有提及；根据第一段第一句“‘Clothes Swapping' is an activity which has become incre asingly popular among American women”可知，第一段直接提到“交换衣服”活动在美国女士中越来越受欢迎，不需要推理得出，且在最后一段中没有体现，故C项错误；通读最后一段可知，该段主要讲述“交换衣服”活动中可能出现的问题，而不是需要组织更多的“交换衣服”活动，故D项错误。
