高二英语周练七十一 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）A My mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didnt have a bike with her, she walked next to me. I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Dont ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “Its too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar. My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my moms car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your face? Vanessa, look at what youve done!” Mom wasnt the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type. Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it deal with it and learn from it. One day, the consequences (后果) will be greater and I wont be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”1. We can learn from the text that . A. Vanessa fell because she didnt hold the handlebar B.
