24、选项(A、B、C 和 D)中选出最佳选项。（分数：8.00）_The first time I heard the actual London Bridge was in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, I thought it was a joke. A stupid joke at that. I mean, what sort of moron would take a perfectly good, perfectly famous bridge and move it halfway around the world to some no-name town i

25、n northwest Arizona? Back in 1962 when all this started, Lake Havasu City was nothing. A couple of shops, a couple of homes, and no tourism at all. It turns out Robert McCulloch is the moron in question, and he wasnt quite the moron I thought he was. His 2.45 million dollar investment(投资) in the 130

26、-year-old bridgewhich the British government was selling because it was about to fall into the Thames (泰晤士河)ended up being the investment of a lifetime. You see McCulloch was a real businessman, among other things, and his money paid off big. He turned Lake Havasu into one of the most visited touris

27、t attractions in Arizona. It took nine long years to take down the bridge, ship it brick by brick to the middle of nowhere , and build it up again. When it finally did open up in 1971, it was a huge deal covered by the international press. The bridge is now a popular tourist attraction, and there s

28、even a mini “English Village“ at the foot of the bridge with souvenirs(纪念品) and real British food so you can have a good old time. Nowadays Lake Havasu is a busy town with a population of about 56,000 citizens and another 2.5 million visitors each year. Most of that is during spring break when the t

29、own overflows with energetic boys and girls. Even MTV and the Girls Gone Wild people get in on the action. All thanks to that little bridge. I dont know about you, but Im saving my pennies. When the French get sick of that Eiffel Tower, Ill be the first to put money on it. Itll look great in my back

30、yard.（分数：8.00）(1).The underlined word “moron“ in the first paragraph means_.（分数：2.00）A.a brave personB.a foolish personC.a famous personD.a strange person(2).Why did the British government put the London Bridge up for sale?（分数：2.00）A.It polluted the Thames.B.It was no longer popular.C.It was going t

31、o fall down.D.It could bring them the needed money.(3).What was Lake Havasu City like before 1962?（分数：2.00）A.It was a good place for investment.B.It was known for its English Village.C.It was a small town with no tourism.D.It had a population of 56,000 citizens.(4).In the last paragraph, the author

32、tries to be_.（分数：2.00）A.politeB.friendlyC.practicalD.humorousStudies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that hands-free cellphones are just as harmful to drivers as hand-held ones because it is the conversation, not the phone, that is distracting(分散) their attention. “Even though yo

33、ur eyes are looking right at something, when you are on the cellphone, you are not as likely to see it,“ says Professor David Strayer. “ Ninety-nine percent of the time, its not that critical(危急的), but that 1% could be the time a child runs into the street,“ he adds. Dr. Strayers studies have also f

34、ound that talking on a cellphone is far more distracting than talking with a passenger. Listening to the radio, to music or to a book on tape also isn t as distracting, because it doesnt require the same level of interaction as a conversation. But even drivers may miss some details of a book on tape

35、 if their attention is focused on driving tasks. Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are importantlike police officers learn to search faces in crowds. And the Utah researchers have found a rare group of “super-taskers“about 2.5% of the populationwho seem able to a

36、ttend to more than one thing with ease. Many more people think they can effectively do several things at the same time, but they are really turning their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either. Clearly, it is easier to put some tasks together than others. “Not

37、 all distractions are the same,“ says Dr. Strayer. Things like cleaning and working out can be done automatically (自动地) while the mind is focused elsewhere. But doing homework and texting at the same time isn t possible. Even talking and watching TV is difficult. “Just try talking with your wife whi

38、le watching football. Its impossible,“ jokes Dr. Strayer.（分数：8.00）(1).What is the first paragraph mainly about?（分数：2.00）A.The harm in using phones while driving.B.The advantages of hand-held phones.C.The danger of running in the street.D.The causes of road accidents.(2).What does the example of poli

39、ce officers in Paragraph 2 show?（分数：2.00）A.Searching for faces require more attention than driving.B.Talking to a crowd calls for a high level of attention.C.One s attention can be easily distracted in crowds.D.The ability to attend to two tasks can be trained.(3).“Super-taskers“ can be best describ

40、ed as people who can_.（分数：2.00）A.do several things effectively at the same timeB.turn their attention rapidly to two thingsC.handle all difficult tasks with easeD.pay full attention to one task(4).Which of the following can you do while talking on the phone?（分数：2.00）A.Doing homework.B.Writing a lett

41、er.C.Working out.D.Watching TV.Young women who take part in beauty contests (比赛) are helping to keep alive an outdated opinion of women: that a woman s most important value is how she looks. Women have been working very hard through the years to change their image (形象). They have been trying to prov

42、e that the value of a woman does not lie only in her beauty. The world is just beginning to recognize that women are as smart, wise and strong in personality as men are, and that there are qualities more important than looks when judging people. When women take part in beauty contests for top prizes

43、, they encourage people to value them for their beauty alone. It is unfair to say that beauty alone determines ones worth. Beauty contests not only encourage spectators(观众) to judge women by their appearance, but they encourage this idea in the contestants as well. These young women spend months los

44、ing weight to be the “ right“ size and learning how to dress, wear makeup, and walk just right so that some judges will consider them beautiful. I think its great for a woman to feel good about her appearance, but looks shouldn t be sought after in an extreme or unreasonable way. There are too many

45、other, more important, things in a young womans life: learning, developing friendships and preparing for their future work and perhaps a family. As long as there are beauty contests, women won t be fully recognized as well-rounded human beings.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the text, women have tried to

46、change their image by_.（分数：2.00）A.proving they are as good as menB.paying attention to their clothesC.winning more beauty contestsD.encouraging people to value their beauty(2).What do women usually do in preparation for beauty contests?（分数：2.00）A.Learn about their personality.B.Do everything for the

47、ir bodies.C.Choose the right size dresses.D.Develop friendship with spectators.(3).What can we infer from the text?（分数：2.00）A.Looks determine everything.B.Wisdom carries much weight.C.Spectators should have their voices heard.D.Qualities other than looks are more important.(4).According to the author, beauty contests are_.（分数：2.00）A.disrespectful to womenB.unpleasant to contestantsC.necessary for modern societyD.helpful in improving women s ima
