If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not attempt to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But do not move too much. Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This will make your car more visible to rescue crews. Dont panic. Stay with your car.16.【答案解析】B短文開(kāi)頭出現(xiàn)“…in winter. If you have a car…Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can”,B選項(xiàng)與此語(yǔ)義相同,為同義轉(zhuǎn)述,因此正確。C選項(xiàng)是利用gas和reserve設(shè)置的細(xì)節(jié)干擾,予以排除。17.【答案解析】A短文提到“Do not tend to walk to find help”,Do not與題干中的avoid對(duì)應(yīng),A選項(xiàng)中的Attempting to與attempt to(試圖)相對(duì)應(yīng),leave your car to seek help與walk to find help表意相同,因此A選項(xiàng)正確。18.【答案解析】C短文在提到“do not move too much”之后,用“Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat”解釋了不要運(yùn)動(dòng)過(guò)多的原因,C選項(xiàng)是原文再現(xiàn),因此正確。B選項(xiàng)是利用原文出現(xiàn)的sleep設(shè)置的詞匯干擾,這與題干中的“too much exercise”并無(wú)關(guān)聯(lián)。Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is giftgiving. Everybody likes to receive gifts. Right? So you may think that giftgiving is a universal custom. But actually the rules of giftgiving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America the rules are fairly simple. If you are invited to someones home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends, family and business associates, we generally dont give gifts on other occasions except on someones birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of giftgiving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything, from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans dont generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal
