some dates in September. Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, perhaps best known for NYC's Eleven Madison Park restaurant, are behind the NoMad Restaurant and NoMad Bar. And foodies will no doubt want to experience Roy Choi's Best Friend, the first brick-and-mortar restaurant following his hugely successful Korean BBQ truck.
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia often gets overlooked for popular provinces like British Columbia and Quebec, but its quiet charms are worth exploring. Cape Breton Island takes a bit of work to reach, but it's here that you'll find challenging hiking trails, a scenic driving route minus the traffic and real-deal Celtic culture. The Halifax Jazz Festival, held in the province's capital, is considered Nova Scotia's largest music festival, and goes down from July 9-14 on the waterfront.
Grand Canyon
It's the Grand Canyon's 100th anniversary as a national park, and there are multiple ways to celebrate this notable occasion. From June 22-29, stargazers can join amateur astronomers for free at the park's North and South Rims for the Star Party. Telescopes will be on hand to find planets (Jupiter and Saturn among them), star clusters and nebulae. There will also be slide show programs with a different focus each night, from protecting dark skies to learning how planets form. Constellation talks and night sky photography workshops are among the free offerings, just allow yourself enough time since you won't be the only one with this idea. 21. Which place will you choose if you want to have a great barbeque? A. Salar de Uyuni Canyon
22. Which country is Nova Scotia probably in? A. Canada Africa
23. If you are an Astronomy fans, which two places will be the best choice? A. Salar de Uyuni and Las Vegas C. Las Vegas and Nova Scotia 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. B
- 9 -
B. Las Vegas C. Nova Scotia D. Grand
B. America C. Britain D. South
B. Salar de Uyuni and Grand Canyon D. Las Vegas and Grand Canyon
本文为应用文。主要介绍了2019年夏季旅游的四个最佳地点。 【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Las Vegas部分中的最后一句话“And foodies will no doubt want to experience Roy Choi's Best Friend, the first brick-and-mortar restaurant following his hugely successful Korean BBQ truck.”，句中的BBQ就是barbeque的缩写。故选B。 【22题详解】
细节理解题。本题为文化常识题。依据Nova Scotia的第一句“Nova Scotia often gets overlooked for popular provinces like British Columbia and Quebec,”中出现的“British Columbia and Quebec”，这两个都是加拿大的大省，在第三模块第五单元Canada -- The True North中涉及到Quebec以及这个省的城市Ottawa和Montreal。由此可知Nova Scotia为加拿大国。故选A。 【23题详解】
推理判断题。依据Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia部分中的最后一句“Come nightfall, on-site telescopes take full advantage of the star-flooded sky.”和最后一段第二行“From June 22-29, stargazers can join amateur astronomers for free at the park's North and South Rims for the Star Party.”。两个地点都有观星活动。因此作为一个天文学迷，会去Salar de Uyuni和 Grand Canyon这两个地方，故选B。
B
Most people agree that being a good driver means being safe and not aggressive on the road. One debate some people still argue, however, is who drives better: men or women? Although it’s impossible to say that one gender drives better than another definitively, there are some noteworthy trends.
Male drivers tend to have more accidents
Data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows that male drivers tend to have more total accidents than females. The IIHS, an independent non-profit devoted to reducing car accidents, also found that 71 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2017 were males. Although the gap has narrowed, almost every year from 1975 to 2017, the number of male crash deaths was more than twice the number

of female crash deaths, per the IIHS.
Women might be less-confident behind the wheel
Although male drivers have more accidents, other research shows women aren’t “perfect” drivers, either. Researchers from the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute studied traffic accidents over 20 years and found that female drivers are more likely to run into a car driven by another woman than a man. The study, however, doesn’t explain possible reasons for this pattern.
One that they might consider testing in the future is that some research also shows women are less-confident behind the wheel than men. A study from UCLA exploring the relationship between new drivers’ skills and different variables, including gender(性别), shows female students were less confident drivers than men.
So are men better drivers than women?
Gender is just one factor when it comes to safe driving, along with others such as age, and even the time of day people drive. One study shows that both genders have a greater accident risk when driving at night, but males still have a higher risk at all times of the day. Driving quality also changes based on location, too, as some states are more dangerous than others. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that Wyoming, Mississippi, and Montana have high accident death rates, without regards to gender. It goes to show that everyone should learn and practice safe driving habits instead of worrying about who drives better. 24. According to the data from the IIHS, what is the percentage of males among car accident victims before 2017? A. Bigger than 71% clear.
25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. In recent years, the number of car accidents caused by males is twice as much as that that by females.
B. Researchers have found out why there's higher possibility for women drivers to run into each other.
C. While driving in the daytime, male drivers have a greater accident risk than female

drivers.
D. Many studies have shown that females are better and safer drivers than males. 26. What does the underlined word \A. factors consequences
27. From which column of a newspaper is the passage probably taken? A. Science
B. News
C. Culture
D. Traffic
B. varieties
C. phenomena
D.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. D 【分析】
本文为议论文。主要论述了女司机和男司机在安全方面谁最出色。研究表明，男性司机出的事故多，女性开车没有男性自信。两种性别在夜间驾驶时都有较大的事故风险，但白天驾驶时，男性驾驶员比女性驾驶员有更大的事故风险。 【24题详解】
推理判断题。第二段第二、三行“The IIHS, an independent non-profit devoted to reducing car accidents, also found that 71 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2017 were males. Although the gap has narrowed, almost every year from 1975 to 2017,…”，IIHS数据表明，2017年发生的车祸中的遇难者有71%是男性，而后一句则说从1975年到2017年中的每一年，车祸遇难者之中的男女比例差距(gap)都在缩小(narrowed)，由此推断2017年之前车祸遇难者男性比例是大于71%的。分析选项可知A项符合题意，故选A。 【25题详解】
细节理解题。第二段最后一句说，车祸遇难者男性比例是女性比例的两倍多，而不是导致车祸的男女比例，A项无依据，不选；第三段最后一句“The study, however, doesn’t explain possible reasons for this pattern.”说明女性相互之间发生车祸的可能性更高的原因还不明，B项错误；第五段第二行“One study shows that both genders have a greater accident risk when driving at night, but males still have a higher risk at all times of the day.”研究表明，两种性别在夜间驾驶时都有较大的事故风险，但男性在一天中的任何时候都有较高的事故风险。可知白天驾驶时，男性驾驶员比女性驾驶员有更大的事故风险C项正确；文章最后一段说明没有明显证据证明男性或女性是更为合格的驾驶员，D项错误。因此C符合题意，故选C。
