Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2分，共40分)

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

There are many differences between America and China. The biggest difference is traffic rules. In America there are too much more cars than in China. But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China. We hardly see traffic police in the street, but all cars obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street.

About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as：

1．Stop line：There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). All cars must stop while meeting the stop line.

2．Traffic light：There is traffic light in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction. The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. When he thinks being safe, he may turn left. In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. If people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. Only so, they may do it.

3．Specific item：Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of car. There are many streets in some residential areas, and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. In every parking, there are some special positions for invalid people.

4．About the priority of passenger and car: At any case, passenger has the priority to car. And only after passenger have passed the road and gotten the top of sidestep, car may go ahead.

In general, traffic rules of America are very specific, convenient, safe and humanizing.

C．There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can't be seen.

D．The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety.

37．Why is there middle lane of turning left on the road?

A．It is designed for the cars that want to turn left.

B．It is very safe to drive there.

C．It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules.

D．The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left.

Authorities did not release (公布)the gunman's name, but Peter said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illinois.

Dekalb country coroner (验尸官) Dennis J．Miller on Friday released the identities of the four victims who died in the country：Daniel Parmenter, 20, of Westchester; Catalina Garcia, 20, of Cicero; RyanneMace, 19, of Carpentersville; and Julianna Gehant, 32, of Meridan.

“Two other victims died after being transferred to hosptitals in other counties，” Miller said. Witnesses said the gunman, dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap, emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200-seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 pm.

Officials said 162 students were registered for the class but it was unknown how many were there on Thursday.

Allyse Jerome, 19, a sophomore (大二学生) from Shaumburg, said the gunman burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.

“Honestly, at first everyone thought it was a joke，” Jerome said. “Everyone hit the floor，” she said. Then She got up and ran, but tripped. She said she felt like “an open target”．

“He could have decided to get me，” Jerome said on Friday, “I thought for sure he was gonna get me.”

Lauren Carr said she was sitting in the third row when she saw the shooter walk through a door on the righthand side of the stage, pointing a gun straight ahead.

“I personally army-crawled half-way up the aisle (通道)，” said Carr, a 20-year-old sophomore. “I said I could get up and run or I could die here.”

She said, “A student in front of her was bleeding, but he just kept running.”

More than a hundred students cried and hugged as they gathered outside the Phi Kappa Alpha house early Friday morning to remember Daniel Parmenter, who was one of those killed.
