JAMES CHURCH.BIt seems food deliverymen (送货员) are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. These reckless (鲁莽的) behaviors have caught the public’s attention.In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious (焦急的) customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time,reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems (激励制度), noted CRI Online.Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be banned from driving food service delivery vehicles (交通工具) for a whole year . ( )24. How many traffic accidents did food deliverymen in Shanghai cause in the first half of 2017?A. 76.B. 38.C. 152.D. 2,000.( )25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

To drive safely, food deliverymen will obey more traffic rules.D. Food deliverymen cannot drive on important roads in the future.COn January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War（抗击新型肺炎战）, the Ministry of Education issued（公布）a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect ch ildren’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also given a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform（平台）, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network. It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection（感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.( )27. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A. To keep playing online games.B. To keep touching different people.C. To do some physical exercises outside.D. To teach children about health knowledge. ( )28. The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. planB. stopC. growthD. change( )29. What’s the best title for this passage?A. A Special Way to Learn at HomeB. A New War with a New ChanceC. A Way to Keep Mentally HealthyD. A Method to Make Parents WorriedDSometimes our body does things we don't ask it to do. Sneezing(打喷嚏)，coughing, blinking(眨眼睛)and even yawning(打哈欠)are examples of involuntary movements or reflex actions(反射动作).What makes our body do these things?These involuntary actions are a response(反应)to a stimulus(刺激).When we do these things, our body is trying to protect itself. If an irritant(刺激物)such as pollen(花粉)from plants gets into our nose or nasal passages(鼻腔通道),our body sneezes to get it out. If we breathe in dust, our body coughs to remove it from our lungs(肺)or windpipe. We blink in order to keep our eyes clean and moist(湿润)and to prevent dust and other things from staying on them. A yawn is our body's way of making us put more oxygen into our bloodstream.These involuntary movements happen because our brain is giving out signals. There is a system of nerves(神经)called the central nervous system, that covers our entire body: from the brain, down the spinal cord(脊位)inside our spinal column the bones that do down our back，to the tips of our fingers and toes. When our body parts sense certain things, like a mosquito(蚊子)bite, a message is sent to our brain. Then the brain sends a message back to itch(发痒).Without these reflex actions, we would not live very long.( )30. What is the passage mainly about?A. We would not live long without movements.B. Why our body does involuntary movements.C. We sneeze to get out an irritant such as pollen.D. How our brain is giving out signals to our nerves.( )31. If dust comes into our eyes, we will to protect our body.A. coughB. sneezeC. blinkD. yawn( )32. Which of the following sentences can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?A. What tells our body to take care of us the way it does?B. Don't you think it is interesting for our body to do so?C. What can we do when involuntary movements happen?D. How can we avoid stimulus to protect our own body?四、信息还原(共5小题;每空1分，满分5分)根据对话内容，从所给选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，并填在答题卷上。
