 2016年全國英語等級考試試題pets4級閱讀精選

More than 30,000 drivers and passengers who sit in the front of the vehicles are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor building. Wearing a seat belt saves lives:it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than a half.

Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you will be fined up to —— 50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver's responsibility, to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

However, when you're reversing your car, you do not have to wear a seat belt; or when you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember that you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove that you have been excused from wearing it.

參考譯文

每年都有3萬多名司機或坐在前排的乘客喪命或受重傷。在時速只有30英里時也相當於從一幢3層樓的建築物上跌下。系安全帶可以挽救生命:它可使喪生或受重傷的機率減少大半。

所以大多數交通工具中的司機和超過l4歲的前排乘客必須系安全帶。如果你不繫,你會被處以最高50英鎊的罰款。司機沒有確保你係安全帶的責任。但是司機有責任確保14歲以下的兒童在車輛前排就座時繫上安全帶之類的東西。

但當你倒車,或者開特殊車輛時,如在當地送貨或做收集工作時,或者你有無須系安全帶的有效醫療證明時,你無須系安全帶。在決定不繫安全帶前要確定這些情況適用於你。記住你可能會因不繫安全帶而被送上法庭,並且如果你不能證明自己有不繫安全帶的理由你就會被罰款。

答案及解析

41.D【解析】more than=above“多於”;approximately=about “大約”。

42.C【解析】在車上系安全帶:reduce your chance of death or serious by more than a half系安全帶可以減少50%的死亡率或重傷機率。選項A:不是公路事故而是死亡率或重傷機率。選項8:以30公-裡//b時開車時能挽救人的生命。與文章不符,本文是說30公里/小時以上必須系安全帶。選項D:每年挽救15,000人的生命。

43.B【解析】從第二段最後一句話可知:But it will be the driver,s re—sponsibility to make sure that children under l4 do not ride in thefront unless they are wearing a seat belt of,some kind。

44.A【解析】第三段第一句話reversing your Car=backing into a parkingspace倒車。45.B【解析】之所以人們要使用醫院證明,就是因為他們健康方面的原因,不能系安全帶。

Text 3

參考譯文

我依然記得陽光灑在她頭髮上的樣子。她轉過頭,我們四目相對,在五年級喧囂的教室裡,一絲奇妙的情愫掠過我的心。一剎那,我的心好像中了一擊。就這樣,我的初戀開始了。

她叫Rachel。我渾渾噩噩地讀完了五年級和中學,在此期間,只要見到她我就會動心,只要有她在場,我就會說不出話來。除了我,還會有誰被她微亮的窗燈吸引,徘徊在夜幕中,像夏夜裡可憐的蟲子?那種如痴如狂的激情,雖非性愛,但卻是那樣急迫,那樣難以抗拒,使我侷促不安,使我的聲音凝噎。如今,這一切就像那場難圓的夢。

一條通往家和學校的林間小道上,我常常與她邂逅,然而這卻讓我萬分沮喪,因為她總是一副若無其事,鎮定自如的樣子。回到家之後,我只能獨自重溫和她每次相遇時的`情景,而一想到自己不善言談我就深深為之苦惱。即便這樣,在我們十幾歲的時候,我卻能感受到她對我的柔情。要做“男女朋友”我們還缺乏那份成熟。她的猶太正教的教養和我天主教的自責心,迫使我們表現出單身者的莊重,在我們之間連線吻也變得可望而不可及,雖然我們都非常渴望!一次舞會上我終於擁抱了她——當然,有父母在場。我的擁抱使她咯咯地笑起來,那充滿天真,信賴的少女的笑聲讓我痛恨自己當時莫名冒出來的想法。無論如何,我對Rachel的愛仍然只是單相思。後來,我們都高中畢業,她考上了大學,而我則參了軍。

二戰使我們天各一方,因為我被派往了海外。一段時間裡我們只能寄鴻雁以訴衷腸。在那段艱難無望,漫漫無期的歲月裡,她的書信是我最刻骨銘心的記憶。一次她寄給我一張她身著泳裝的快照,這張照片使我對她的思念飆到了極點。在回覆她的信中,我談到我們結婚有沒有可能,而就從那以後。她的信越來越少,越來越陌生了。回國後我迫不及待地就去她家找她。門,是她母親給開的。後來我才知道,Rachel已經不在那住了。她早結婚了,和一個在大學裡認識的學醫的同學。她母親對我說:“我以為她已經寫信告訴你了。”她的絕情書終於被我收到了,那是在我等候復原的時候。她委婉地向我解釋,我,和她,結婚,是不可能的。現在回想起來,雖然在開始的幾個月裡我想自己再也不願意活下去了,我當時還算很快就熬過了那段苦海無邊的日子。像Rachel一樣,後來,我也找到了屬於自己的她——一個我學會用永恆的更深沉的承諾去愛的人,直到今天,此情依舊!

 答案及解析

46.A【解析】根據文章第一段第二句話,…a momentary awareness inthat raucous fifth grade Classroom..在五年級喧囂的教室裡,一絲奇妙的情愫掠過我的心。所以根據常識,五年級應該是在他沒有到十歲的時候,所以選A。

47.C【解析】根據文章第二段最後一句話,That delirious swooning,asexual but urgent and obsessive,that made me awkward and myvoice crack…那種如痴如狂的激情,雖非性愛,但卻是那樣急迫,那樣難以抗拒,使我侷促不安,使我的聲音凝噎。所以說作者作為戀愛中的男孩是異常興奮和充滿激情的。所以選c。

48.C【解析】根據文章第三段中的一句話Her Orthodox Jewish upbring—ing and my own Catholic scruples imposed all inhibited grace thatmade even kissing a distant prospect…,所以說阻止他們接吻的是她的猶太正教的教養和我天主教的自責心,只有C相符,排除A,B,D。、

49.C【解析】此題應用排除法。文章最後一段,I mentioned the possibil—ity of marriage in my next letter,and almost immediately her repliesbecame less frequent,less personal.在回覆Rachel的信中,提到他們結婚有沒有可能,而就從那以後,她的信越來越少,越來越陌生了。所以排除A她辨認出並熱情接受了他的愛,8直截了當地拒絕他的愛。根據She gently explained the impossibility of a mar-riage between as.排除D,所以答案是c她欣然允許他去愛她,但是卻沒有使自己愛上他。

50.D【解析】通讀全文,本文從兩個人的相識,一直敘述到兩個人戀愛,分手,各自結婚,所以D是線性敘述正確。故選D。
