This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing. I didnt pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasnt long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasnt anyone helping him?His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red.Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plainclothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME！” and started crying.A man doesnt value things until they are gone. If he didnt have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who wont help himself.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。乘坐火車時，“我”發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個流浪漢，他衣衫襤褸，身上散發(fā)異味，乘客們避而遠之。突然，他開始咒罵他周圍的乘客。后來流浪漢被便衣警察帶走，他不僅沒有家，這一次還失去了自由。4When entering the car, how did the author feel at first?AAnnoyed.

Yes, you read that correctly the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK.The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councilors (議員) longterm efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say theyve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”， but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more, often while theyre trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer”comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top”. The nearest dropoff point for her sixyearold is now a fiveminute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem.Councilor Jason Frost said：“Traffic has been clearly reduced, and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”I witness daily the chaos (混亂) created by these intown drivers, when I walk my own kids to school. Theres a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slowmoving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools.【語篇解讀】本文講述倫敦自實行在學校門口嚴禁停車這一做法以來的變化。8Why is Angie opposed to the new rule?AShe is often fined by London police.BShe will lose her job as a school driver.CShe has adapted to the American practice.DShe thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid.答案與解析：D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“The nearest dropoff point for her sixyearold is now a fiveminute walk from the school”可知，對于她6歲的孩子來說，最近的下車點離學校有五分鐘的步行路程，據(jù)此可推知，Angie認為不能在校門口停車給孩子帶來不便。所以選項D正確。9Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost?AOn account of many complaints.BBecause of students health problem.COwing to safety concern.DDue to air pollution.答案與解析：C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“l(fā)ongterm efforts to make the area safer and less crowded”可知，選項C的表述“Owing to safety concern”是正確的。所以選項C正確。10What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?ALess daily chaos.BSupport from all people.CMore overweight children.DComplaints from neighbors.答案與解析：A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Traffic has been clearly reduced, and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome”可知，車輛已經(jīng)明顯減少，許多孩子正在步行上學，這是最大的結(jié)果，所以選項A正確。11What is the main idea of the text?AParents attempt to resist a school rule.BLondon police cause widespread anger.CAmerican schools care more about kids safety.DDifferent voices are heard on a new traffic policy.答案與解析：D主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文可知，倫敦學校門口家長停車造成安全事故和交通堵塞，因此議員提議對這一現(xiàn)象進行制止，由此引發(fā)家長的議論。因此選項D符合題意。D(2018黃岡檢測)On Christmas Day, 2003, a woman named Nancy Sue Brown took her daughter and grandchildren to see a movie at an AMC theater. When the movie was over, the crowd made for the exits. A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area.No one slipped due to the wet conditions, but someone did manage to knock over the sign. And by the time Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell. Unfortunately Ms. Brown had undergone a back operation, and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have. So she and her husband sued (提起訴訟)AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger, and therefore, courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed (繼續(xù)進行). AMC referred to a case about a December, 1998 incident, where a “wet floor” sign, not in use, fell to the floor causing another tripandfall. In that case, Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store, but didnt go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldnt give rise to legal liability (責任) in tripandfall accidents. In the Brown case, the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was, itself, dangerous, because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards (危險)” Thats right the safety sign, used in the way it was designed, was itself dangerous. The court thankfully didnt accept that argument, at least not entirely. But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury (陪審團) “a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”【語篇解讀】本文主要介紹了布朗夫人在美國一家AMC影院看完電影離開時，被“小心地滑”的指示牌絆倒受傷后，向法院提起訴訟的原因以及法院的審判結(jié)果。 12According to the text, Ms. Brown _.Aslipped on the wet floorBtripped over a warning signCknocked over a warning signDwas knocked down by the crowd答案與解析：B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“. Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell.”可知，布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌絆倒了。B項中的tripped over意為“被絆倒”，與文章表述相符，故選B項。C項中的knocked over意為“打翻；撞倒”，不符合文意。13AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to _.Aaccept its legal liability for Ms. Browns lossBprove Ms. Brown had some physical problemsCstress that it had no legal liability for the accidentDprove other customers were responsible for the accident答案與解析：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“AMC argued that. encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed.”可知，AMC影院認為布朗夫人的控訴不成立，法院應(yīng)該鼓勵使用這樣的警示牌，接著第二句AMC影院舉出1998年的案例來支持自己的觀點。由此可推測，AMC影院提到這一案例是為了強調(diào)自己不應(yīng)該承擔本次事故的責任。故選C項。14What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?AIt would be judged by jury.BIt would not be allowed to proceed.CThe court would rule in favor of AMC.DThe court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.答案與解析：A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury.”可知，法院提請陪審團來審理此案。故選A項。15The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “_”AdangerBcustomerCbusiness ownerDequipment in public places答案與解析：A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句可知，一個商人選擇和使用某一種設(shè)備來警示顧客某種危險，而這種設(shè)備本身就可能將顧客置于另一種危險中。由此可猜測，one指代上文中的danger。.七選五(2018成都市高中畢業(yè)班摸底測試)Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please. _1_ For example, a travel partner can provide practical support and share in the rewards of firsthand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures.
