As my dad unwrapped（打开）the new bicycle helmet（头盔）that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.
Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have holes and are torn-up（磨损的）. Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places.
Where I live, there has been a law in place since October 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.
One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness（知觉）. When he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recall the events leading up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan showed that he had a concussion (脑震荡). That evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.
If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.
1. In the writer’s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?
A. Because a law requires them to do so.
B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.
C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.
D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.
2. The underlined part “we both came to a shocking realization” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.
A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet
B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet
C. we realized that young people needn’t wear helmets
D. only old people should wear helmets
3. From the accident that happened to the writer’s dad, we can infer that ___________.
A. the cyclists should follow the law
B. his dad was not worried about this accident
C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets
D. everyone should care about life

Bob was born in Cambridge. When he was in elementary school, he asked his mother to take him to parks in their community so he could collect empty soda cans to recycle. His mother agreed, as long as he saved part of the money he earned for college.
Bob’s mother remembers Bob as the most determined of her seven kids. Bob’s hard work paid off. On Friday, he will become the first person in his family, originally from El Salvador, to graduate from college. And he’s graduating with university honors.
For his honors thesis（毕业论文）he researched unmanned solar-powered（太阳能）airplanes, which BYU students have been building and testing for about 10 years.

Bob recognized he overcame some obstacles（障碍）to get where he is. For starters, English is his second language. He also faced stereotypes（模式化的形象）. Although Bob never doubted that he would be a college graduate, other people believed he wouldn’t because he didn’t come from a family of high income. There were other obstacles as well, but Bob viewed them all as opportunities.
Bob’s mother says she feels very happy and proud that her son is about to graduate with honors, and remembers the effort he’s made to get there. “He has worked very hard. He started something, and now he has finished it,” Cathy says. “I have always told him, ‘If this is your dream, then you can get it! Keep working hard and you can get it!’”

People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
_________________
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. He or she may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful (尊敬的)
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的) and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

One of the most important ways to learn and master the English language is to read, read, and read. It is said that a good reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in today's world, reading is something that most children dislike doing.
There are simply so many distractions (分心的事物) that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored and they are in favor of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English language, they still can't quite compare to reading.
And as a result, kids are learning less and less. Take a look at an elementary level text book. You'll notice that the books for elementary students are filled with pictures and color1s. Those pictures and color1s in the elementary level text books aren't there just for the sake (缘由) of design. Colors and pictures make us more engaged in the act of learning grammar. They catch our attention and help us retain (保留) more of what we read. This is especially true for little children who enjoy fun English.
Children are quite easily distracted. When you ask them to sit down and read quietly, their minds will often wander and it won't take long before you find them doodling (涂鸦) and not doing what you told them to do. But if a book is colourful enough to catch a kid's attention, then you'll have a better chance at getting the kid to sit down long enough to learn English.
The same principle holds true for interactivity (互动). Like color1s and pictures, interactive reading materials like English songs for kids also get the child engaged in what he or she is learning. Interactive reading materials get the child to focus since using them is almost like playing.
12. Children don't like reading probably because they prefer ________.
A. newspapers B. films
C. magazines D. books
13. Children will be interested in books that are ________.
A. full of pictures B. explained clearly
C. written clearly D. easy
14. Colorful books can help the children ________.
A. do what they prefer
B. have a good time
C. fix their attention for a longer time
D. sit still and quietly
15. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. Reading is one of the most important ways in learning language.
B. All the books are full of pictures and color1s.
C. Interactivity and color1ful designs are important to learn English.
D. Interactive reading is very interesting for children.

知识点：短文改错
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述的是在一个星期天的上午作者和爷爷钓鱼的经过。
【详解】1.考查时态。根据One Sunday morning可知句子用一般过去时态，故把go改成went。
2.考查形容词性物主代词。句意：我们拿着鱼竿向湖边走去。形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故把ours改成our。
3.考查状语从句。句意：我们一到，就把钓丝扔进水里。此处是as soon as引导的时间状语从句，不是并列句，故把so去掉。
4.考查介词。句意：等了半小时后，我开始不耐烦了。结合句意可知把Before改成After。
5.考查形容词。句意：等了半小时后，我开始不耐烦了。此处get（变成、变得）是连系动词，后面用形容词做表语，故把impatiently改成impatient。
6.考查并列连词。句意：我想放弃，但我爷爷告诉我再等一会儿。前后表示转折关系，故把and改成but。
7.考查主谓一致。句意：最后，突然有一股力量拉到杆子上，一条鱼被抓住了。此处是there be句型，句子主语是a sudden，故把were改成was。
8.考查不定冠词。句意：最后，突然有一股力量拉到杆子上，一条鱼被抓住了。结合句意可知在fish前加a。
9.考查名词复数。few修饰可数名词复数，故把minute改成minutes。
10.考查现在分词做原因状语。句意：我们饿了，就在湖边生了一堆火，烤鱼。此处句子主语we和feel之间是主动关系，现在分词做原因状语，故把Felt改成Feeling。
