    Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed
and tests passed.
      In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult
when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is
learning to drive.   At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they
drive into the grownup world.
     " Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the
pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. "It's like you're not cool if you
don't have a car," she said.
     According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985.
Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.
     Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some
teenagers don't want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more
for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
     But police say 16yearolds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has
made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.
     Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his
learner's permit.
     Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some teasing from his
friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said, "But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I_don't_really
_trust_my_friends_on_the_road,_either."
     In China as more families get cars, more 18yearolds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to
becoming an adult?

1. Which may serve as the best title of the article?
A. Cars Helping You to GrowUp
B. Driving into the GrownUp World
C. Teenagers' Driving in America
D. Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult

2. 16yearold drivers have more accidents possibly because________.
A. they want to show themselves off
B. they are never experienced drivers
C. older people always drive better
D. they never drive carefully on the road

3. Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?
A. How well off the family is.
B. Whether the kid is old enough.
C. What traffic condition there is around.
D. Whether it's practically needed.

4. When Chad said "I don't really trust my friends…", he meant that________.
A. he might run into his friends if he drove
B. he didn't agree with his friends
C. he might not be safe if his friends drove
D. he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him

5. The passage mainly gives information about ________.
A. an American culture
B. a cultural difference between America and China
C. a change in the Chinese culture

閱讀理解。
     Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than
in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United
States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
     In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work
less. In other words they have decided to "spend" a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over
the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in
the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be more satisfying work, or less
satisfying personal lives.
     Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值). So the United States has produced more
per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many
more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per
head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
     It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other
values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends (趨勢(shì)) in
happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has
made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the
work-life balance (平衡)?
1. From the text we know that the author _____.
A. believes that longer working hours is better
B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones
C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better
D. thinks neither of the patterns is good
2. Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
A. Spain
B. France
C. Germany
D. America.
3. In the last paragraph, the underlined word "which"refers to _____.
A. family life
B. situations
C. other values
D. trends
4. What message can we get from the text?
A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D. Americans are happier than Europeans.
5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Americans and Europeans
B. Staying at Home
C. Work and Productivity
D. Work and Happiness

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：湖北省模擬題 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀理解。
     An overweight, middle-aged man lies dead on a trolley, with a woman weeping over his body. The
body's cold hand still grasps a half-eaten McDonald's hamburger. American doctors' TV ad features the
image which weakens the slightest of appetites and the line "I was lovin' it".
     The hard-hitting US television commercial supported by a Washington-based medical group has angered
McDonald's by taking an unusually direct shot at the world's biggest fast-food chain this week. The line is
a twist on McDonald's long-standing advertising slogan, "I'm lovin' it" and a voice-over intones, "High
cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks. Tonight, make it vegetarian."
     The commercial, funded by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), goes further
than most non-profit advertising and has drawn an angry reaction from both the Chicago-based hamburger
multinational and the broader restaurant industry.
     The National Restaurant Association criticized it as "irresponsible" and said it was an attempt to scare the
public with a "limited" view of nutrition. A McDonald's spokesman said,"This commercial is unbearable,
misleading and unfair to all consumers. McDonald's trusts our customers to make food and lifestyle choices
that are right for them."
     The commercial, to be aired at the beginning in the Washington area but potentially in further US cities,
comes amid an increasingly lively debate in the US about healthy eating. The first lady, Michelle Obama, has
made nutrition a signature issue and is leading a campaign to encourage physical fitness and improved diets-
particularly among American children, a third of whom are overweight.
     The economic decline has hardly helped the healthy eating cause. McDonald's has enjoyed a relatively
prosperous financial crisis as diners choose its affordable offerings in place of more expensive high-street
restaurants. Its global profits for the six months to June were up 12% to $ 2.3 billion, powered by sales rises
both in the United States and Britain.
     The PCRM's director of nutrition education, Susan Levin, made no apologies for singling out the golden
arches (拱門):"McDonald's is one of the biggest fast-food chains in the world. Its name and its golden arches
are instantly recognizable. We feel we're making a point about all fast food when we talk about McDonald's."
1. The ad-maker makes a change in the McDonald's slogan _____.
A. to warn people of risk of eating fast food
B. to convince people of cause of the death
C. to remind people of the man's preference
D. to accuse McDonald's of the murder
2. The goal of this passage is to tell us that _____.
A. the TV commercial goes too far
B. people enjoy eating fast food for its taste
C. Michelle Obama's campaign doesn't work
D. McDonald's provides unhealthy food
3. The underlined words "the golden arches" in the last paragraph refers to _____.
A. the line
B. the ad
C. McDonald's
D. fast food
4. What is the theme of the passage?
A. A fierce debate about healthy eating
B. McDonald's targeted in US health ad
C. N US health ad advocates healthy life
D. Say goodbye to McDonald's right now
