周练 A
One day my two sons and I got into my old car to drive to the local post office. I backed out of my drive slowly like I normally do and then pulled to a stop at the side road that leads to the main highway. When it was clear I pulled out and stepped on the gas. As I stepped on the clutch（离合器）and tried to shift into second, though, I immediately knew that something was wrong. The normally solid gear shift（档位杆）now felt like a spoon in a bowl of soup. I tried quickly to get it to lock into any of the gears but did not succeed. Thankfully, the steering wheel（方向盘）was still working fine and I allowed the car to go to the end of the side road where I was able to pull safely into a wide spot and turn the engine off.
It was only later in the day that I finally realized how blessed I had been. I could have been on the main road when that stick shift failed. I could have been in the middle of a curve with no place to turn off the road. I could have had a car too close behind me that wouldn’t have been able to stop in time. A hundred things could have made this incident dangerous or deadly. Yet, the gear shift broken at just the right moment to keep me and my boys safe.
Far too often we only see the bad things in life. We get angry when things don’t go out way, and we fail to see the thousands of times that they do. Yes, my car broken down. Still, my sons and I are safe. We are loved. And we have been given more time here in this world to share our own love and light. 21. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The clutch.
B. The gear shift.
C. The spoon.
D. The car.
22. How did the writer stop the car at last?
A. By turning the engine off quickly. B. By turning to a local garage for help. C. By removing the steering wheel away. D. By letting it slow down to stop naturally. 23. The driver’s thoughts in Paragraph 2 imply that ______.
A. they were lucky enough to be safe B. the car needed to be repaired well
C. the driver was good at driving a broken car D. it was important to find a suitable place to park 24. By writing the story, the writer expected us to ______. A. be careful in our driving
B. ignore the bad things in our life D. find a bless even from a bad situation B 1 / 7
C. share our love with others in time

Are you a crazy selfie-taker（自拍客）? You are at risk of developing “selfie elbow（肘）” which is slowly becoming a real medical condition. Like tennis elbow or golf elbow, an addiction to selfie-taking can cause a pain in your elbow, according to a report.
In a recent case, Hoda Kotb, an award-winning journalist and show host of NBC’s Today, went to a doctor, complaining of pain in her elbow. “I went to the doctor and he said, ‘are you playing tennis or ping pong?” I told him I was taking selfies.” Kotb said “When you take the picture, your arm is up, bent in a strange way and you just click, click, click—think about how many you take:20, 30, or 40. Selfie elbow, everyone has it,” added Kotb.
Her doctor recommended icing her elbow and certain exercises to help relieve the soreness. “Basically, the connection between technology and human body sometimes causes injuries,” Jordan Metzl, a sports medicine physician, said in a newspaper. “You get selfie elbow from taking too many selfies, as you put too much stress on the muscle and it hurts the area where the muscle comes off the bone and you get this inflammatory（淡定）response,” Metzl added.
The condition can be treated by taking pain relievers like Advil or Motrin for the inflammation and putting on some ice as well as extending the muscles.
“For those who are dedicated selfie-takers, using a selfie stick can work like an arm extender and takes the pressure off the elbow,” suggested Charles Kim, a specialist at NYU Langone Medical Center in the US. 25. The first paragraph implies that selfie elbow is ______. A. a severe disease
B. a rare phenomenon D. a matter of life and death
C. a tough medical problem
26. An addicted selfie-taker has a selfie elbow because he/she ______ when taking selfies. A. breaks the elbow bone
B. gives too much pressure to the arm D. stands still for too long
C. doesn’t care about his/her elbow
27. According to Charles Kim, we can reduce selfie elbow by ______. A. using a selfie stick
B. putting some ice on it D. taking some sleeping pills C
Do you know that all handguns are semi-automatic? This means that all that stands between you and death is the pull of a trigger（扳机）. Limited access to handguns would decrease violence, as has been proven in the past.
Quite simply, guns cause violence and death. Even though Americans only make up five percent of the world

答案)
population, we own almost 50 percent of guns worldwide. Gun-control laws help keep the public safe. The Brady Law, which required background checks and a five-day waiting period for all handgun sales, caused a sharp decline in violence. Violent crimes from guns decreased by 35 percent, and more than 500,000 former criminals were prevented from purchasing guns.
However, the number of people affected by gun violence in America is still shocking. A research showed that in 2015, about 30000 people were shot in the United States and one-fifth of them were children and tens. “There are so many victims of gun violence because we make it too easy for dangerous people to get gums in America,” the research concluded. Currently background checks do not include charges in non-criminal attacks such as domestic violence（家暴）and mental health. Creating stricter gun-control laws would keep guns away from those who may become violent with the possession of a handgun.
The most important value, he right to life, has been disturbed by loose gun-control laws. Since this value is a right we all possess, each person had the right to the protection of his or her life. Guns endanger our lives.
It is time that we changed the laws that have made it possible for innocent people to die. We must make it much more difficult for anyone with a mental illness, or a former criminal, to buy a gun. 28. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Worse Gun Problems. B. Better Life Rights. C. Stricter Gun Control D. Newer Gum Laws. 29. We can conclude that the Brady Law ______. A. reduced gun crimes effectively C. made it easier to buy handguns
B. left guns out of control
D. banned Americans from buying guns
30. How many children and teens were shot in the Untied Sates in 2015? A. About 3,000.
