Section B (共10分，每小题1分)
Directions: Read the text below. Use the word given in the brackets to form a word that fits in the space.
It was a rainy morning two years ago. Shirley Huxham was cycling 18 (gentle) downhill. As she waved to a friend, her bike slid uncontrollably on the wet road, throwing her to the ground. “I’d never even thought of buying a helmet,” she says. For months she was partly paralysed (瘫痪) down her left side and still has 19 (healthy) problems today.
Some might think that Shirley was just unlucky. How 20 (danger) can it be to fall from a bicycle? In fact, each year on Britain’s roads more than 200 people are killed and at least 4,000 seriously injured on bicycles. But these numbers don’t tell the whole story: the majority of the 21 (die) and injured were not wearing helmets.
A study of bicycle accidents in the US found that helmets could 22 (reduction) the risk
of serious head injury by 85 percent. Yet it is estimated that in Britain, no more than five percent of bicycle 23 (ride) wear helmets. Why don’t more cyclists wear 24 (they)?
People think that helmets look foolish, that they’re 25 (convenient), and that accidents only happen to other people.
One of the wrong ideas bicyclists have is that lower speeds can put them at 26 (little) risk than motorcyclists, who are legally obliged to wear helmets. In fact, according to a British report, a higher percentage of bicyclists than motorcyclists suffer head injuries. And their injuries can be just as severe.
Helmets, however, can make a big 27 (different). Shirley wasn’t just unlucky. If she had worn a helmet, she wouldn’t have spent months in hospital. Why take the risk?
Section C (共10分，每小题1分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
You get an e-mail from your friend. It says Bill Gates will send you cash if you just click on a certain Web page. Your friend swears this is official, and that his friend says it 28 . Will you believe it? Stories like that are known as urban legends (传说). They are called this 29 they are like old country folk tales, but told in a modern city context. Why do people tell urban legends? Why do listeners believe them? 30 is true of many legends, there is usually a grain of truth in an urban legend that seems to confirm it. That small seed of truth helps keep the story alive. 31 , many urban legends are meant to serve as warnings to children and teens. This fact could explain why a lot of urban legends are 32 : Do not take candy from strangers, because it might have poison in it.
Some urban legends, however, reflect what people want to believe. After the disastrous Asian tsunami (海啸) of 2004, for example, one heart-warming tale spread around the world. 33 the story, elephants near a Thai resort sensed that the huge waves were coming. They led people to high ground and went back into the floodwaters 34 other people. The Denver Post was one of many newspapers to 35 this story: “Elephants became superheroes, raising people with their trunks and pulling them from harm’s way.” There were elephants near the resort, and they did move to higher ground as the waves came ashore—but that is all that 36 be confirmed. The rest is wishful thinking.
With quick access to the Internet today, it is easy to spread urban legends, but it is also easy to fight them. Remember your friend’s e-mail mentioned earlier? 37 to Snopes.com, the Internet headquarters for sorting out truth from fiction, and you will find it is false. Next time you hear what sounds like an urban legend, take some time to stop and think and maybe even do some research. The story may be true, but it might just be an urban legend. 28. A. rises 29. A. because 30. A. What 31. A. Personally 32. A. interesting 33. A. According to 34. A. rescued
