16.In many parts of the world,cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.(71)EBut this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously,not only by government but also by ear manufacturers.
         The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.(72)AThat will mean much saving,no accidents and better use of roads.The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself(73)C,.Instead,we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr.David Davis,who leads the research team,these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture,which had blocked up our cities,polluted our air,and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says,cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another.(74)GComputers are much safer drivers than people,so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010,Dr.David Davis believes,car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road,whatever the weather conditions,by projecting an image(影像)of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen(75)D.Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"."The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount."says Davis."But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount,and so produce about ten percent of the pollution."

A.The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.
B.They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.
C.And it will not be owned by one individual.
D.And by 2030,cars will travel in line,linked to each other electronically.
E.So the idea that in 20 years'time,no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F.Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G.The car will automatically speed up,or slow down,to match the speed of the car in front.

6.American society is not nap(午睡)friendly.In fact,says David Dinges,a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine."There's even a ban against admitting we need sleep."Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.A proverb says:"Some sleep five hours,nature requires seven,laziness nine and wickedness(邪恶) eleven."
Wrong!The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them."We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,"says Dr William Dement of Stanford University,the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission(委员会) led by Dement put forward an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness:people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports,our President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.
About 60percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have"a mid-afternoon quiet state",or"a secondary sleep gate".Sleeping 15minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed.Clearly,we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Napping don't nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift(夜班).Rather,we take it,whenever,wherever and at whatever time we feel like it.I myself have napped in buses,cars,planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries,offices and museums.

56.It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep isA.
A.unbearable B.unfit      C.harmful      D.unfriendly
57.The research done by the Dement commission shows thatC.

C.not enough sleep is no good for Americans and their country
D.napping at work has caused America many industrial and traffic accidents

A.warn us of the risks of napping
B.show us the dangers of sleeplessness
C.introduce a national commission on sleepiness in America
D.convince the readers of the necessity of napping

C.the rapid development of American industry

7.People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun,free service,and don't realize that they're paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data(资料) to advertisers that want to send targeted (目标的)messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening.Even if they know what the company is up to,they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook,because people don't really know what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem,however,is that the company keeps changing the rules.Early on,you could keep everything private.That was the great thing about Facebook-you could create your own little private network.Last year,the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city,your photo,your friends'names-were set,by default(默认),to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage,the company is simply making changes to improve its service,and if people don't share information,they have a"less satisfying experience."
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.Its original business model,which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page,totally failed.Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.In April,Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites."I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,"Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade(侵犯)our privacy,it's only the beginning,which is why I'm considering deactivating(撤销) my account(账号).Facebook is a handy site,but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust.That is too high a price to pay.

4.After commuting,cooking dinner and doing household chores,the average parent has just 30minutes to devote to their children in the evenings,according to a new study.One in four working parents worry that half an hour simply isn't enough,while almost half fret that they aren't a good enough parent during the week.
However,parenting experts believe just 12minutes a day may be enough for mothers and fathers to fully   reconnect with their child-as long as they ask the right questions.Child psychologist Dr Claire Halsey said asking a series of open-ended questions can help improve parents'relationship with their children.
Among the questions recommended in the research are:"How many times have you smiled today-what made you laugh?";"Can you act out what you did at breaktime?";"Who is taller-mummy or your teacher?"and"What are the names of the toys you played with today?"Parents of older children are advised to start up a conversation with:"I've got a great story for you but I want one in return…you first!"or"Tell me some school gossip …I'm all ears!"
Dr Halsey,working with the makers of Ribena Plus,who commissioned the research,said:"There is no one as tough on their own parenting skills as a parent-but this study shows there is no need for parents to be so harsh.It's hard for working parents to juggle all their responsibilities and it can feel like guilt is simply a parent's lot-but it's absolutely not.By using clever tactics such as a little preparation alongside use of open-ended questions-such as‘Tell me what the best bit about your day was?'-parents can reduce the time worrying about chores and work and spend more time learning about their children's day."

B.spend their daytime commuting,cooking dinner and doing household chores
C.worry that half an hour's stay with their kids is far from enough
D.fear that they aren't a good enough parent during the week
38.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3mean?C
A.I will be glad to listen.
B.I will be very interested.
C.I will listen carefully.
D.I will call your teacher at school.
39.Which of the following open-ended questions is for a three-year-old child?D
A.Where are you off to with your friends this weekend?
B.Who played the best in your football match today?
C.What science project are you doing at the moment and can I help with it?
D.What are the names of the toys you played with today?
40.What does Dr Halsey intend to tell us in this passage?B
A.It is not necessary for parents to spend too much time with their children.
B.It is natural that working parents do not afford more time to reconnect with kids.
C.It is important that working parents learn more parenting skills.
D.It is clever that parents ask their kids questions instead of doing chores.
11.Most of the time,people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions.Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position.But nowadays,hats,especially women's hats,are much more than that.More exactly,hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars.What's more,people now consider many different features (特点)when choosing even a simple hat.Many designers point out that,when choosing the right hat,it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair,your height,and the shape of your face.

First of all,the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair.For instance,black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned.If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair,one will look as attractive as a summer flower.Second,the height of the hat is also an important point.Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns,just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height.Third,and most importantly,the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick.A small,gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face.However,women with big,round faces should choose a different style.

As the saying goes,"Fine feathers make fine birds."A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features,so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?
44.What does the underlined word"harsh"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?C

1.I travel a lot,and I find out different"styles"of directions every time 1 ask"How can I get to the post office?"
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in Japan,people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,"Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop."
In the countryside of the American Midwest,there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains,so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Inste ad of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa,for example,people will say,"Go north two miles.Turn east,and then go another mile."
People in Los Angeles,California,have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time,not miles."How far away is the post office?"you ask."Oh,"they answer,"it's about five minutes from here."You say,"Yes,but how many miles away is it?"They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation?A New Yorker might say,‘Sorry,I have no idea."But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers"I don't know."People in Yucatan believe that"I don't know"is impolite,They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.A tourist can get very,very lost in Yucatan!

21.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usuallyD
A.descr ibe the place carefully      B.refer to recognizable buildings and places
C.show him a map of the place        D.tell him the names of the streets       
22.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?B
A.New York.  B.Kansas.  C.Los Angeles.  D.Iowa.
23.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answerC
A.so as to be polite    B.as a test        C.for fun         D.in order to save time
24.What can we infer from the text?A
A.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
B.People have similar understandings of politeness.
C.It's important for tra velers to understand cultural differences.
D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
5.My daughter recently asked me what a travel agency does.There is one located on our street and it has just been completely rebuilt.I told her that they helped people book their trips and vacations."Why haven't we ever been there?"she wanted to know."Because we do everything ourselves online these days,"I explained."But why do it yourself if other people want to do it for you?"she wondered out loud.
The answer is that the travel agency makes a little bit of money on each ticket you book through them.If you book your ticket yourself online,you save that money.Saving money sounds great except that when you think about it you typically spend three evenings comparing prices to end up saving﹩30on a﹩300trip.All those﹩30discounts add up of course so I guess we should be happy with that.
Still,how bad is it really to pay someone﹩30and trust them to buy you something wonderful?Wouldn't you say your free evenings are worth more than﹩10a piece?
Consider books for a moment.Buying your book at Amazon saves you maybe 30% to 40% on each book.Add to that the convenience of shopping from home and getting the package delivered to your home address.So far so good.
Unfortunately,that does mean you spend too much time browsing Amazon.com while you could do something fun instead.Like maybe reading an actual book.
Then the package arrives and you aren't home and end up having to pick it up at the local post-office.All in all I wonder how much time I end up investing(投入) in the whole process.Time sounds free,but to most of us,it is more valuable than money.
The Internet Economy promised to get rid of the middle-men and we loved it.Somehow,I'm starting to get the feeling that we ourselves ended up doing the work of that middle-men we were so eager to get rid of.
In any project you can always pick two of these:fast,cheap or good.We seem to have focused a lot on‘cheap'and‘good'but the extra time we need to invest to also keep it‘fast'comes out of our own pockets.You can always make more money but you can never make more time.

36.What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A
A.It indicates that the Internet has influenced our daily life
B.It mainly shows the curiosity of the author's daughter.
C.It tells us the importance of a travel agency.
D.It shows why people need a travel agency.
37.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?C
A.We should be satisfied with﹩30that we have saved because it is worthwhile.
B.﹩30that we have saved is too little,so we can't be happy with it.
C.It's hard for us to be happy with﹩30because we have wasted a lot of time.
D.We should feel regretful although﹩30is worth the time we have spent.
38.According to the author,which of the following is TRUE?C
A.The author's daughter would like to choose a travel agency to help her.
B.People buy book at Amazon in order to save time.
C.The author doesn't think online shopping is satisfactory in every way.
D.The author worries about sending personal information over the Internet.
39.What's the author's attitude towards the Internet Economy?B
A.Positive          
B.Critical           
C.Indifferent       
D.Optimistic
40.What's the main idea of the passage?D
A.The convenience of the Internet Economy.
B.How to save money in the Internet Economy.
C.How to save time in the Internet Economy
D.The hidden cost of the Internet Economy.
6.I stole your dog today.No,I didn't set a foot on your house,but from the condition of your dog,I can imagine what it looks like…The word"rubbish"comes to mind.
I found her along a road,with a heavy(36)Bwrapped around her neck,still (37)Drotten (腐烂的) boards from her doghouse.Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her,(38)A the place where I found her,but I knew that if she had gotten into the wods,the"cross"that she(39)Bbehind her would have wrapped itself around a tree(40)B starvation or thirst killed her.
