He looked tired. I hesitated for the moment, and then offered my seat to her. The old man thanked me a lot of and sat down. Seeing his smile，I felt happily.
From this experience，I will be ready to helping others in the future.
参考答案：

第一处：buy-bought 考查时态。由句中的went可知，该句时态为一般过去时，所以这里动词buy需改为过去式bought。
第二处：would后加be 考查be动词。Would后需动词原形，且happy可知，这里需用be动词。Would be意为将会。
第三处：presents-present 考查名词单复数。由前文出现的present可知，这里的礼物是一个，所以需用单数形式。
第七处；her-him 考查宾格。这里我让座给老人，应该是男性，所以需将her改为him。
第八处：of去掉 考查短语。a lot非常，可作副词放句末，a lot of 后需接名词复数，表示很多……。故去掉of。
第九处：happily-happy 考查形容词。感官动词feel后可加形容词做表语，happily为副词，故改为happy，形容词。

22. A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has found a clear link between the color1 of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度) of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into  accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.
The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationship between the color1 of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6. 1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.
They also studied the economic effect of changing the color1 of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents will occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year.
Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color1 of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.
“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other color1 s to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color1 for school buses. Besides, we’re also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different color1 s.” Explained Prof Ho.
12. Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?
A. Because yellow can be seen more easily.
B. Because yellow signals a warning of danger.
C. Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.
D. Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.
13. What’s Prof Ho’s study based on?
A. Physical risks taxi passengers experience.
B. The economic effect of changing taxi color1 .
C. Data from Singapore’s largest taxi company.
D. Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.
14. What do Prof Ho’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. School buses should be painted yellow.
B. Their findings are worth popularizing.
C. Their study will be furthered.
D. Yellow should be widely used in public transport.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Caution: yellow taxis ahead    B. Safer to ride in yellow taxis
C. Why are yellow taxis preferred?    D. How can color1 s help prevent accidents?
参考答案：
12. A    13. C    14. C    15. A
