Can you escape from a sinking vehicle? The answer is obviously yes. “But you’ve got to be quick.” said Gordon Greisbeck, a professor from the University of Manitoba’s. Here he gives four rules of survival.
Rule 1.  Don’t call 911 until you are out of the car. You should get out of that vehicle immediately after unbuckling. Think about calling 911 once you’ve made it out alive. ‘Time is very important,” Greisbeck says, “If you touch your cell phone, you’re probably going to die.”
Rule 2.  Don’t open the door. Roll down or break the windows instead. Opening the door is very difficult against the water pressure and it also allows so much water into the vehicle that it will speed up the sinking process. Since most vehicles now have electronically controlled windows, it is probable that the circuits (电路) will short before you have a chance to roll them down. So you’ll need a tool like the Life Hammer to break the windows open. And make sure these tools are within reach at all times.
Rule 3.  Children first. Everybody should get out of their own window if possible, but the kids are going to have a harder time fighting through the rush of water, so push them out if you have to. Greisbeck suggests starting with the oldest kids and taking the youngest out in your arms.
Rule 4.  Get out. Swim through the broken windows as fast as possible. You can’t imagine what will happen in the next second. Any intention to take your belongings can be deadly.
If you’ve failed to get the windows rolled down or broken, you’ll still have the slightest of chances to escape. Once water fills the car, the pressure will be equalized and you will be able to open the door. But to do this, you will also have to be expert at holding your breath in an extremely stressful situation.

试题分析:如果你驾驶的汽车不慎落入水中,能不能逃生呢?可以考虑一下Gordon Greisbeck教授所说的四原则:1.从车里逃出来再打电话911;2. 不要开门;3.儿童优先;4. 生命第一,要尽快逃离车子。
小题1:根据Can you escape from a sinking vehicle? The answer is obviously yes.可知选Survive。本文主要讲了当机动车掉入水中时如何逃生。
小题2:根据文章的结构可知,第一段引出主题。一位大学教授讲了生存四原则。接下来就分别讲述了做法和原因。故选Reasons。
小题3:根据Don’t call 911 until you are out of the car.可知,应该先从车里逃出来在拨打电话,故选succeeded。
小题4:根据Roll down or break the windows instead.可知,应该从打开或打破窗户,故选broken/open。
小题5:根据Opening the door is very difficult against the water pressure可知,水压使打开车门很困难。故选difficult/hard。
小题6:根据it also allows so much water into the vehicle that it will speed up the sinking process.可知,打开车门会有很多的水涌入车里以至于会加速车子的下沉,故选faster。
小题7:根据Since most vehicles now have electronically controlled windows, it is probable that the circuits (电路) will short before you have a chance to roll them down.可知,大多数的车有电动控制车窗,所以很可能你还没来得及摇下车窗,线路就短路了,故选probably。
小题8:根据Greisbeck suggests starting with the oldest kids and taking the youngest out in your arms. 可知,应该先让最大的孩子出去,然后抱着最小的,故选arms。
小题9:根据the kids are going to have a harder time fighting through the rush of water, 可知,小孩子在湍急的水中更难,故选fighting/struggling。
小题10:根据You can’t imagine what will happen in the next second.可知,应该尽快从车里逃离,什么事情都可能发生,令人难以想象,故选beyond。
考点:任务型阅读。

The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country. Many people, included students, are for it. But there are also some people are against it. Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it can reduce students’ learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function. On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English. If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English. What’s more, if students don’t have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges.
