文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章向去英国旅行的人们讲解了英国的一些法律知识,以免游客在不知情的情况下,触犯了英国的法律。

【推荐1】Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you .

Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings and do not take any changes when crossing the road.

My next point is about litter. It is an offence to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put in your pocket and take it home, or put in a litter bin.

Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了众议院第1308号法案规定了三条高中生毕业的条款,阐述了这一法案背后存在的问题。

【推荐2】Among the constant adjustive education standards and requirements, it’s important to ask a question: exactly what do we want in a high school graduate?

Some people think the goal is to enter college and earn a bachelor’s degree. Others find that interpretation too narrow, preferring that young people leave school with the skills to move into living-wage jobs. But one thing many people can embrace is that high school graduates are skilled in basic math and English.

A proposed law, House Bill 1308,could ruin that goal. Students must do the following things to get a diploma: earn 24 credits of coursework; complete a High School and Beyond Plan matching those courses; meet one requirement of a series of “graduation pathways”. The problem is that these pathways don’t work for all kids.

In large part, that’s because they guide students toward college standards. Last year, after surveying nearly 1,000 students, researchers discovered that 18% of students said they were “not good” at math, and 33% said they were poor test-takers. For them, the current pathways are a barrier because of their emphasis on these skills.

The new pathway is instead focused on performance. It would allow kids to create a presentation—say an exhibit or report — demonstrating mastery of two core subjects, but not necessarily math or English. When the bill came up for discussion, over 350 people showed their support, because it’s possible that through the performance pathway, a student could create a project emphasizing mastery in “fine arts” and “health and fitness”. Rep. Sharon favors the proposal. In a hearing, she spoke of her granddaughter, who wrote and self-published a novel while still in school, to illustrate the kind of project is workable. While Tafona Ervin worries that the lack of emphasis on math and English could lead students to graduate without solid skills.

If the purpose of education is to ensure that young people are prepared to pursue a fulfilling life, finishing school uncertain of one’s abilities in math and English weakens education’s goal.

1. Why is the question mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To make an argument.B.To introduce the topic.
C.To raise an education problem.D.To clarify a concept.
2. How many items does House Bill 1308require for high school students to graduate?
A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.
3. How does the writer make his points persuasive in Para.4?
A.By making comparisons.B.By offering statistics.
C.By providing suggestions.D.By doing experiments.
4. What does the author think of House Bill 1308?
A.Workable.B.Effective.C.Awful.D.Reasonable.

【推荐3】Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed,it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药),damaging eyesight,judgement and coordination(协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit,driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration(浓度) is:

•50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of blood;or

•22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 mL of breath;or

•67 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of urine(尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents,or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected(怀疑) of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving offence points;or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to (适用于)failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath,blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver,think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users,never drive after consuming alcohol.

1. The first paragraph is mainly about ______.
A.the process of alcohol being absorbed
B.the damage of drinking to your body
C.the effect of drinking on driving
D.the introduction of driving skills
2. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.
A.alcoholB.process
C.bloodD.absorption
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B.50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of breath is below the drink driving limit.
C.Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D.Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
4. A driver suspected of drink driving ______.
A.will be punished for 10 driving offence points
B.will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C.should provide specimens for testing
D.should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000
