We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this means your troubles are beginning. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, destroying your prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if these were not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

Things can go wrong on-a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening, two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly went into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road’. Seeing a cake-flying through the air, a truck driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck and fell onto the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic to move again. In the meanwhile, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident; for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days.

What does the writer mainly tell us?

A. Troubles always happen at the same time.

B. Everyone may have trouble every day.

C. A small matter can cause great trouble.

D. Only the lucky man won’t have any trouble every day.

according to the passage, what should be the correct order?

(1) The woman driver stopped her car suddenly.             ??

(2) The driver’s wife dropped her cake on the road.

(3) Only two dogs were happy.

(4) Two cars hit each other.

(5) The truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles.

A. (2)(3)(3)(5)(1)  B. (4)(1)(2)(5)(3)

C. (3)(5)(2)(4)(1)   D. (1)(4)(2)(3)(5)

Which of the following is true?

A. The woman’s husband brought three guests home to dinner unexpectedly.

B. The meal got burnt.

C. Her baby pulled the table-cloth off the table.

D. It is not strange to experience such accidents.

What does the word "these" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refer to?

阅读文章后,从第50至54题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。

       We all hate speed cameras,don’t we?They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents;they just make money for the government.They trick us,cost us cold hard cash,disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.

       Well,here’s a surprising thing:what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives?It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France,a country with a historically poor record of road safety.

       There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example,but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory(强迫的)seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995.

       Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time,or 4.9 percent less than2004.Comparing road deaths to populating in 2005,that’s about 817 per million people compared with Australia’s 806.

       And guess what?Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.

       Okey, you know the arguments on the increased traffic safety and cameras. for-inco me, but in seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A theer-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.

       Traveling on the highways,it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when one few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming There’s even all official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly

       Maybe it is because of such transparency by government,rather than the secrecy too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy their life thanks to speed cameras

We can learn from the first paragraph that     

       A.speed cameras cost us our lives

       B.speed cameras help HS drive properly

       C.most people think speed cameras are good for slowing drivers down

       D.most people think speed cameras are used to make money for the government

In France, a driver should obey the following rules EXCEPT      

       A.blood alcohol limit lowering   B.speed limit obeying

       C.camera location updating D.seat belt wearing

The underlined word ‘‘transparency’’ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to    

       A.honesty        B.openness       C.innocence        D.strictness

Now you can seldom see in France      

       A.lunch time last long with drunk people rushing back to office

       B.people drive at a speed of less than 130 km/h

       C.drivers drive according to the traffic lights

       D.police conduct traffic in streets

What is the text mainly about?

       A.The argument on speed cameras

       B The drivers in France hating speed cameras

       C.France does successfully in controlling road accidents

       D.France takes many measures in controlling road accidents

By 2050

Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.

TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.

Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.

Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots—they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there is equipment that connects directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.

Scientist will have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones(克隆) of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?

1.

According to the passage, the following can be realized today EXCEPT __________.

A. reading newspapers on a computer 

B. making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth again

C. creating cloned animals
