Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his 16 out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time 17 you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody 18 .

Several days later I was still 19 about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot 20 the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that 21 these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey 22 the US without any money, just 23 on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support? The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.

The week I 24 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. 25 I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept 26 of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly 27 I went. I was 28 by people’s readiness to help a stranger.

In Oregon, a house painter named Mike 29 the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a 30 dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or 31 with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the 32 to give often gave the most.

I’m 33 to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was 34 . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the 35 of strangers.

16. A. thumb B. finger C. foot D. hand

17. A. that B. where C. which D. when

18. A. in danger B. in need C. in trouble D. in favor

19. A. worrying B. considering C. bringing D. thinking

20. A. off B. on C. away D. from

21. A. interesting B. possible C. necessary D. important

22. A. across B. through C. in D. over

23. A. basing B. relying C. insisting D. relating

24. A. seemed B. got C. became D. turned

25. A. But B. So C. And D. However

26. A. jobs B. supplies C. helps D. offers

27. A. nowhere B. everywhere C. anywhere D. somewhere

28. A. frightened B. annoyed C. disappointed D. amazed

29. A. noted B. saw C. felt D. sensed

30. A. simple B. rich C. delicious D. interesting

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项选项的标号涂黑。

A

"Get out of the plane!" Justin shouted. Teddy and he dropped to the ground…

When Kathy and Victor reached the edge of the meadow, flames of the fire were shooting more than five meters into the air．

Kathy couldn't believe what she was seeing．One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately．She questioned Victor, "Are you able to find someone nearby for help?"

"There are no farmers, nor villagers nearby," he replied．

"I'm a distance runner, and I'll go for help．" Looking at the seriously injured men, Kathy said to Victor, "It may take me several hours to get out．" She started out．

When she was 23, Kathy set a women's record in a Marathon of 42 kilometers．But now she was running the race of life. She had nearly 30 kilometers of hard wilderness to cover to get help．

Kathy had been running for two hours．This was far back into the wilderness．The country path was growing vague．She stopped to take a quick compass reading．Yes, she had run almost for more than 20 kilometers．Her heart fell, her muscle aching．And finally she saw her car in the distance．

She jumped into the car and sped away．She reached a holiday house and called the police．

During the wait, she walked around, relaxing her legs and drinking water. It took almost two hours for a police helicopter to reach her at the trail end．They needed her for one more task．

36．Who actually had the airplane accident?

A．Justin and Teddy B．Kathy and Victor

C．Justin himself D．Kathy herself

37．The underlined part "Now, she was running the race of life" means that ____．

A．Kathy would set up a new record

B．Kathy would run a race alone

C．Kathy was running for the lives of others

D．Kathy couldn't rely on Victor this time

38．Kathy stopped to have a look at her compass because ____．

A．she wasn't sure of her own memory B．she had completely lost her way

C．the country path was getting vague D．there was only the wilderness

39．What do you think Kathy's final task would be?

A．Giving the injured food and drinks． B．Showing the police the crash site．

C．Going back to put out the big fire． D．Taking the injured to the hospital．

B

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

40．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by _____.

A．road conditions
