A driver must yield (让行) the right of way to other drivers: •When approaching a YIELD sign.Slow down or stop to avoid a crash. •Even after the light turns green when there are vehicles in the intersection. •When approaching emergency vehicles using sounding or flashing sirens. •After coming to a complete stop at an intersection where there is a stop sign or a flashing red signal.If there is no stop line,stop before the crosswalk. •When making a left turn on a red light after a stop from a one-way street to another one-way street with traffic moving to the left.(See Figure A.) •When two vehicles on different roadways arrive at a four-way stop intersection at the same time,the vehicle should yield to the vehicle on its right.(See Figure B.) •When coming out of an alley,building,private road or driveway after coming to a complete stop.(See Figure C.) •When crossing traffic at the end of a “T” road with no traffic control signs or signals.(See Figure D.) 21.What’s the purpose of the text?

Set up separate groups for different grade levels,or ability levels. You probably don't want to mix a gifted eighth grader with a second grader who writes very little.In a small school,a group of two or three grade levels may work.In a larger school,you could have a beginner group,more advanced group,and publishing group.Members can move to more proper groups if they are not comfortable in the current one. Advertise the group in different ways. Ask your students to spread advertisements,put them on the school website,in the school newsletter(),and personally invite students who you think should come. The first meeting should be very open. At the first meeting,you should tell the students that this group is all about them.It is not a class,not a grade,not a requirement.Then tell them what writing groups are going to do,and ask what they would like to do. Set up a time to meet once or twice a month. It is necessary for students to bring their writing.The group could go in a number of directions:criticise each other's work,read writing aloud,read silently,publish work in a booklet,publish online,play creativity games,or do an online chat with a published author. It will take a little while to find out what works best for your group. Search for creativity exercises,role plays,etc.You may set up a special bulletin board() for your writing group.Not only do your students in the groups improve their writing interest but also they make more friends. 24.If you are a gifted high-level student in a large school you will probably A.be in the writing group with third graders B.study writing skills in a beginner group C.study writing skills in a less advanced group D.study writing skills in a publishing group 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据In a larger school,.you could have a beginner group,.more advanced group,and publishing group.”可推断，如果你是一个有天赋的、高水平的学生，你不会与低年级 的学生在一个写作小组里，你会进入高水平的publishing group。 25.From the text we learn that

Bishop attempts to make small,everyday experiences extraordinary in her poems such as Filling Station.In Filling Station,Bishop describes the beauty of a family at a filling station.Although it is “dirty”,there is order in it.Simple family life is celebrated in it.She recognizes the value of home and beauty in everyday life,but she is only an observer of these.Distance remains between her and the family at the filling station. Bishop’s struggle to locate herself in the world is seen no more clearly than in Sandpiper.It deals with searching for something in a confusing world.She uses the metaphor (暗喻) of the bird which is “looking for something”.The “something” isn’t specific.It seems as if the bird doesn’t know what he wants;the only certain thing is that he is searching. Bishop’s poems are personal on a more subtle level,especially when her childhood,travels,etc,are taken into consideration.It is believed that Bishop is a complex poet who uses her poetry to find this feeling of belonging. 28.What do we know about Elizabeth Bishop’s childhood?

D.Creative and determined. 答案 解析推理判断题。根据文章首句可知，Bishop很有才华：根据第二段可知她很悲观。 D One day,we were hiking in the Oakland woods when my daughter noticed plastic litter in a stream.She looked at me and said,"Daddy,that doesn't go there."What she said brought me back to a summer camp.On the morning of a visiting day.right before they let our anxious parents come running through the gates,our camp director would say,"Quick!Everyone picks up five pieces of litter."You get a couple hundred kids each picking up five pieces,and pretty soon,you've got a much cleaner camp. So I thought,why not use that crowdsourced cleanup model to the entire planet?And that was the inspiration for Litterati.The goal is to create a litter-free world.Let me show you how it started.I took a picture of a cigarette.Then I took another photo...and another photo.And I noticed two things:first,litter became artistic and approachable;and second,at the end of a few days,I had 50 photos on my phone and I had picked up each piece,and I realized that I was keeping a positive impact I was having on the planet. And I started telling people what I was doing,and they started participating.Then I realized that Litterati was more than just pretty pictures;we were becoming a community()that was collecting data.Each photo tells a story.It tells us who picked up what and when.So I built a map on a website,showing where pieces were being picked up.And gradually,the community grew and the data grew. If you really want to create change,there's no better place to start than with our kids.A group of fifth graders picked up 1,247 pieces of litter just in their schoolyard.And they learned that the most common type of litter was the plastic straw wrappers()from their own dining hall.So these kids went to their headmaster and asked,"Why are we still buying straws?"And they stopped.And they learned that separately they could each make a difference but together they created an influence. It doesn't matter if you're a student or a scientist,whether you live in Honolulu or Hanoi,this is a community for everyone. 32.What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean? A.Cleaning up a place as a team. B.Camping with family members
