阅读下面短文.从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B. C和D中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项小涂黑。

I take a deep breath, 36 my fingers and step forward. Am I about to take the leap before bungee-jumping? 37 , I'm about to cross the road on my way to work.

There have been a few articles in the press over the last couple of months about "Chinese- style road crossing." The definition of this 38 is " a large number of people jaywalking(乱穿马路) together because they feel 39 in a big group."

Crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and dangerous. It can be 40 to try and rush across the road whilst the red 41 is still lit; it's only a short distance, what's the 42 that can happen?

Many pedestrians don't seem to understand the 43 they are taking. If the light's on green then most drivers won't pay attention, 44 that no one will be crossing the road. If the driver does notice, it's possible that they may not have the 45 stopping distance to be able to stop 46 hitting the person.

Also, stepping out on to a road at the wrong 47 causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a 48 effect possibly even a long tailback (车辆长队).

49 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 50 pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers don't follow the rules, either. Even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people 51 crossing the road. Many times these cars don't slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. It also means that people 52 cross the road when they should be allowed to ---maybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.

Driving a car doesn’t mean you have more rights. It’s a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of 53 . It doesn’t seem completely 54 to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system that’s designed against them. A rethink of the way pedestrian crossing work and driver education may 55 a stop to “Chinese- style road crossing.”

36.A. hold B. cross C. bend D. snap

37.A. Yes B. No C. Why D. However

38.A.word B. name C. phrase D. term

39.A. great B. happy C. safe D. strong

40.A. tempting B. interesting C. exciting D. shocking

41.A. boy B. man C. girl D. woman

42.A. worse B. worst C. better D. best

43.A. risk B. lift C. light D. road

44.A. hoping B. believing C. guessing D. assuming

45.A. required B. requested C. suggested D. allowed

46.A. before B. after C. when D.while

47.A. direction B. time C. place D.speed

48.A. knock-up B. knock-on C. knock-down D.knock-back

49.A.On the one hand B. On the other hand

C. On the contrary D. On this occasion

50.A. a lot of B. a great deal of C. a lack of D. a number of

51.A. safely B. slowly C. worriedly D. legally

上将该项涂黑。

A

Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013，and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer（暗淡）future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of The Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.

People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a‘quality-of-lif e’index(指数）where it is best to be born next year.

One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口学) social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.

Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the eurozone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies-Germany，France and Britain-do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羡慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.

56．According to the passage，the happiest people live in .

A. Denmark B. Switzerland C. Germany D. Nigeria

57．The factors of telling the best place to be born don’t include ．

A. economy B. geography

C. trust in public institutions D. pollution

58．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？

A. The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.

B. The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.

C. The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.

D. Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.

59．The purpose of the text is to show people ．

A. the best place to be born in 2013

B. a new study made by the EIU

C. the worst country to be born in 2013

D. the factors of measuring the best place to be born

Heather Mills McCartney lives an admirable life, attending celebrity parties, meeting regularly with the rich and famous and doing meaningful work for charity. All who work with her admire and respect her. But Heather’s life hasn’t always been so easy. When Heather was only 9 years old, her mother abandoned her and her two brothers. At the age of 13, she ran away from home and ended up living on the streets in London. Eventually, however, her exceptional beauty led to a career in modeling. At that time, Heather also began helping with the war relief efforts in former Yugoslavia. Through her modeling and relief work, she soon became famous.

But in August 1993, at age 25 her life changed once again. She was crossing the street in London when a motorcycle crashed into her. She was so badly injured that the doctors had to cut off her left leg. After that, she discovered she frequently needed to change her artificial limbs. It was expensive and she felt it was a waste to just throw away the old one.
