到乌蒙山区的昭通;从甘肃中部的定西，到内蒙古边陲的阿尔山，看真贫、知真贫，真扶贫、扶真贫，成为“花的精力最多”的事;“扶贫先扶志”“扶贫必扶智”“实施精准扶贫”Module 2 Traffic Jam .阅读理解A(2017广东五校协作体第一次联考)Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule.When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety.Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships.We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here.But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him.I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality.And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing.Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing.文章大意：本文讲述了作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是“if only”，因为他们表达了遗憾。父亲在我小的时候经常让我提前做一些能防止意外发生的事，因此我懂得珍惜现在所拥有的一切，而且我知道我正在做对的事。1Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule？_D_AStart the car the moment everyone is seated.BLeave the room for a minute with the iron working.CWait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.DMove an object out of the way before it trips someone.解析：推理判断题。由第二段whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.可知在物体绊住别人之前将它移动属于the “extra minute” rule，故选D。2The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to_B_.Akeep her appointment with the eye doctorBmeet her father who was already an old manCjoin in the holiday celebration of the companyDfinish her work before the deadline approached解析：细节理解题。由第三段“When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here.But then I thought about the fact that hes 84years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him.”可知我在周五休息的时候去工作是为了去看我的已经是个老人的爸爸，故选B。3The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_C_.AavoidedBlackedCabandonedDtook解析：猜测词意题。由第三段We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.”可知我们都知道失去亲人的人当初放弃了一个机会说“我爱你”或“我原谅你”，划线词语指“放弃”与C项同义，故选C。4What is the best title for the passage？_B_AThe Emotional WellbeingBThe Two Saddest WordsCThe Most Useful RuleDThe Peace of Mind解析：主旨大意题。本文围绕英语中两个最悲伤的词语展开叙述，故选B。BIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixtyone hours every year stuck in traffic.

He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system. He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “Whats unique is that we use a lot of data thats currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict whats going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahahi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from othe
