3．SAN FRANCISCO-A phone app（应用程序）in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots．City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city，but some say it raises safety concerns．
In this city，drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams，city officials think．Now San Francisco has found a solution-a phone app for spot-seekers that shows information about areas with available spaces．The system，introduced last month，relies on wireless sensors（感应器）fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up．
But the system could come with serious consequences．Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones，not the road．"It could be really distracting（使分心的），"said Daniel Simons，a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois．
City officials admitted the hidden problem．They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city's iPhone app，or to do so before they leave home．Nathaniel Ford，executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency，said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated．
San Francisco has put sensors into 7，000 parking spots and 12，250 spots in city garages．If spaces in an area open up，the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute，said Mr．Ford，of the transportation agency．On the app，a map shows which blocks have lots of places（blue）and which are full（red）．
More than 12，000 people have downloaded San Francisco's app，which is available now only for the iPhone．
48．What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at？C
A．Benefiting iPhone users．
B．Preventing traffic accidents．
C．Making the traffic flow smoothly．
D．Making full use of the parking spots．
49．According to the text，San Francisco city officialsB．
A．don't consider the app distracting．
B．are aware of the app's disadvantages．
C．advise drivers to park cars slowly．
D．believe more parking spots are needed．
50．The phone app mentioned in the textD．
A．is a bit slow in reacting
B．hasn't been put into service
C．was introduced several years ago
D．can't be downloaded to all phones
51．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．A phone app has been introduced to relieve the pressure on traffic in the city．
B．Safety concerns are voiced about a phone app aimed at helping drivers find parking spots．
C．Looking for parking spots contributes greatly to downtown traffic jams．
D．Drivers'attention is distracted in one way or another when they are driving．

8．September 21，2050----At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford．He will leave the earth in the  launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November，together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet．
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip．Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars，but another 600 days there before he can go back home．Patrick was of course very excited，"This has been my dream since I was four，and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible．"
To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake （股份） in the company his father had built．"I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today，he knew what this means to me"，says Patrick．There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back， but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company．
So，how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？"Well，since I don't have a job when I get back after selling the company，I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea"，he says and laughs．If he brings a shovel（铁锹）he can start building the first hotel there，but maybe he shouldn't expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket．
13．How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back？D
A．About five months        
B．About two years           
C．About 600 days            
D．About 750 days

B．A total of six people will go to Mars
C．Patrick's father felt excited at the news  
D．Patrick will spend all his money on the trip．

5．It still remains a mystery why some peopleare used/accustomed to（习惯于）  certain flower fragrance while others are not．
2．Science can't explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure （血压） and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer．
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some，an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife．A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress （紧张） levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic （算术） or held a hand in ice water．Subjects completed the tasks alone，with a husband/wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems people feel more relaxed （放松）around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don't judge．
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits．Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs； a separate group of 56people without pets were put on a diet program．On average，people lost about 11pounds，or 5% of their body weight．Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12pounds，more than 15% of their body weight．Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but，say researchers，got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth doing．
28．What does the text mainly discuss？A
A．What pets bring to their owners．
B．How pets help people calm down．
C．People's opinions of keeping pets．
D．Pet's value in medical research．
29．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well ifA．
A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
30．According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around when completing stressful tasks？C
A．They have lower blood pressure．
B．They become more patient．
C．They are less nervous．
D．They are in higher spirits．
31．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA．
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful．
