Woman Uses Daughter's Key to "Steal" Car
Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it — using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry(豐田凱美瑞)and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft(偷竊) report.
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded really suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (贖金) , ” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition(點(diǎn)火裝置)as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess." he said.
(1)What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?
A.sold
B.damaged.
C.remove
D.stolen.
(2)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

C.Charlie had thought he had to give Anderson money to get his car back.
D.Mrs. Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.
(3)What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?
A.He should thank Toyota for returning his car.
B.He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.
C.He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.

B.Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.
C.The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.

【答案】
(1)C
(2)B
(3)D
(4)D
【解析】本文屬于記敘文,講述了一位母親用女兒的車(chē)鑰匙開(kāi)走了另一人的豐田汽車(chē)的故事。

(1)C 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線(xiàn)詞后句when the police couldn't find a record of it可知“警察沒(méi)有找到記錄”,可知開(kāi)始的時(shí)候Charlie Vansant還以為是警察把他的車(chē)子拖走了。故C項(xiàng)正確。

(2)B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it — using her key.可知這位母親只是錯(cuò)誤地用女兒的車(chē)鑰匙把Charlie Vansant的車(chē)開(kāi)走了,并不是故意偷車(chē)的。故B項(xiàng)說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的。

(3)D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief".可知Vansant認(rèn)為豐田公司的汽車(chē)質(zhì)量很差,同一個(gè)鑰匙甚至可以打開(kāi)兩輛汽車(chē)。所以該句表示同樣的含義。故D項(xiàng)正確。

(4)D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知Vansant認(rèn)為豐田公司的汽車(chē)質(zhì)量差,一把鑰匙竟然可以開(kāi)兩輛汽車(chē)。那么接下來(lái)他應(yīng)該向豐田公司投訴這一情況,要求對(duì)方給出合理解釋。故D項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan—a character from James Matthew Barrie's 1911 book—said:“All children,except one,grow up.”1

According to the NPD Group,a US market research company,sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016,three times the pace of the children's toy market itself.These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets(樂(lè)高積木)to vehicle models and action figures.And more than half of the sales came from millennials—people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,”commented website Koreaboo.2According to Frederique Tutt,all analyst at NPD,the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today's fast-paced world.3“It reminds me of the playful side of life,”Rob Willner,a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK,told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego,which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.

4To Frank Furendi,a professor at the University of Kent in The UK,the fact that so many adults are pursuing "the thrills of youth" is the evidence that "adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore",he told The New York Times."That's actually quite sad."

5According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane,collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality."It's just pop culture stuff.It's stuff that says,I like a little of this and I like a little of that,"he told ABC,News."It's no big deal."So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan,perhaps it's time to introduce a new "fact",as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT:"Growing old is mandatory(強(qiáng)制性的),but growing up is optional."

A.But scientists are probably just worrying too much.

B.Why do these kidults turn to toys for pleasure and comfort?

C.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as "kidults".

D.They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by,say, getting a promotion,which is far less easy to achieve.

E.The scientists are concerned that those kidults show roo much individuality.

F.But this "fact" doesn't seem to apply to today's world anymore.

G.Despite this,some social scientists see the trend as disturbing.

【題目】For years,Hagelin has studied what role scents(氣味)play in wild birds’ behavior.In 2010,Hagelin heard Jan Straley,a marine biologist,talk about the behavior of whales.Straley mentioned that whales often leap into the air,but nobody knew why.

The mystery interested Hagelin.So Hagelin asked Straley whether they might leap to smell the air—maybe to locate food or look for danger.Straley replied that it was an interesting idea but there wasn't much evidence that whales have a sense of smell.To investigate the idea further,the two scientists teamed up.

In the summer of 2011,they set up a post on the coast of southern Alaska.The researchers spent hours monitoring the direction of the whales and of the wind.The whales headed into the wind half of the time.This didn't prove that whales leap to smell,but it suggested that it is possible.

Meanwhile,other researchers in Alaska were studying a region of the brain called the olfactory bulb(嗅覺(jué)球)in whales.Olfaction means the ability to smell.Humans also process smells in the olfactory bulb.

In identifying a scent,you might think the nose does all of the work.However,the major role of a nose is to draw chemicals on the air and pass them across sensing cells.As chemicals come into contact,they give signals that travel directly to the bulb and then in the brain for further interpretation.

The researchers discovered that the bulb in a whale was more complex than the one in a human.In whales,this smell-processing center takes up a share of the brain six times larger than it does in humans.

The brain research suggested that whales probably can smell just as well as people—and possibly better than humans can.It is supposed that a good sense of smell could help them find food more easily.

However,Hagelin is not sure of that.Now he is planning a new study that will examine whether whales do use the sense of smell to find food.

1Hagelin and Straley set up a post with the purpose of finding______.

A. how whales look for food in groups

B. whether whales can get out of danger

C. how whales head into the wind

D. whether whales leap to smell the air

2We can learn from the text that the olfactory bulb in a whale______.

A. is smaller than the one in a human

B. draws chemicals spreading in the air

C. is more complex than the one in a human

D. processes smells better than the one in a human

3It is implied in the text that Hagelin______.

A. hasn't got any evidence that whales have a sense of smell so far

B. doesn't know whether whales hunt their food in groups

C. isn't sure that the sense of smell can help whales find food

D. isn't sure whether humans can smell as well as whales

4In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?

A. Education. B. Science.

C. Culture. D. Agriculture.

On a snowy and windy afternoon, Ann, a ten-year-old girl, went out to play. She was walking along the sands when she was blown into a ditch (壕溝) by the seashore. She was frightened and tried her best to climb out. But the ditch was too deep and she was too weak to get out of it. So Ann cried at the top of her voice for help. But what she could hear over the snow ditch was nothing but the terrible noise of the wind. Nobody came to her and nobody knew where she was. She struggled again and again. Her face was struck by the strong wind, snow and sand, and was almost frozen. Her hands were stiff. She also felt that she was worn out. She started to cry hopelessly. Just at the moment Ann saw a black dog appearing through the heavy snow. It was Victor, her true friend. He was glad to see the sign of life. And the dog set out to work as soon as he got to Ann. He cleaned away the snow around her with his own paws and hind legs, and then reached out his big strong fur head to Ann. The little girl closed her arms round Victor's neck. The dog backed away slowly, pulling her out of the ditch little by little.
Successfully, Ann got out of the ditch at last. Then she struggled to her feet. With great difficulty, led by her true friend Victor, she was rescued. Victor, the black dog, was given a gold medal and was honoured as Brave Hero Dog of America.
