1、 北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司 高三高三 A 部英语周练试卷部英语周练试卷 2017.10.18 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（共 15 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 30 分 A I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line
2、on my left, and I was clinching (紧握）my fists with impatience. At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,
3、no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would ha
4、ve been no danger in going through it. Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because its part of an agreement we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but its an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don
5、t go through red lights. Its amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isnt it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes dont come naturally to us. Its a very good thing
6、 too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didnt trust each other most of the time. We do what we say well do; we show up when we say we11 show up;we deliver when we say well deliver;and we pay when we say
7、we11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we dont do what weve promised, its far from the normal. It happens often that we dont act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and were angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was
8、 so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. 2 1. Why did the author feel impatient while driving? A. Because he had already driven for a long time. B.

Among the blind the one-eyed is the king B Great Yarmouth is an English seaside town situated at the mouth of the River Yare, about 120 miles to the northeast of London. Around 5 million people visit Great Yarmouth every year, making it one of
12、 Britains most popular seaside resorts. Formerly the home of one of the most profitable fishing industries, Great Yarmouth is a busy and very popular seaside resort. Undoubtedly, one of the most popular attractions is Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, a historic free entry pleasure park, which draws an
13、nually 1.5 million visitors. The two piers(突堤码头), Britannia Pier and Wellington Pier, both contain family-orientated entertainment. As well as the usual thrills one would expect on a classic British seafront, Great Yarmouth also has a quieter side, with a fascinating heritage quarter to explore. Not
14、 many people 3 know that Great Yarmouth has the most complete city walls after York, with heritage walks to help you discover this medieval (中世纪的)attraction along with several museums and houses dating back to many centuries. If ghost walks are more your cup of tea, Eerie Tales and Yarmouth Yarns is
