　　“Cambridge is admitting students who, bright as they are, cannot construct coherent essays or write grammatical English”, a university professor said.

　　Dr. Adam of Jesus College took part in a survey conducted by History Today , which concluded that students were arriving at university with a “very limited knowledge base” .

　　Westminster and Derby lecturers said most history students were unable to express themselves well in English, while Leicester believed that written English skills were declining(衰退) .

　　Literacy was not the lecturers' only concern. “Students used to know little about Hitler, and Stalin.” reported Stephen Church, of East Anglia. “Now they still know little about Hitler and Stalin. ”

　　Among other concerns were student's “poor note-taking skills and short attention span”, their fear of anything about foreign languages. They complain about how hard the foreign names are, and their insistence on “instant access to pre-packaged knowledge.”

　　“Students from lees rich families are working practically full time. Almost all our notionally full-time students are part-time now” , said King's, London. Students are in full-time employment while supposedly studying full-tune, reported West of England. “The result is a production-line approaching to education.”

1．The one reason for the problem suggested in the passage is ________ .

[　　]

A．the students are not clever enough now

B．the students don't have enough learning skills

[　　]

A．The students are not experienced in note-making.

B．The students have very limited history knowledge.

C．The university is planning to take action on this problem.

D．The teachers show great concern on the problem.

3．The most proper title for the passage is“________”.

[　　]

A．A Survey(调查) Organized by History Today

D．The Students' Lack in History Knowledge

4．Which of the following doesn't show students' “ very limited knowledge base”?

[　　]

A．They are not expert in English expressing.

B．They feel difficult when writing grammatically right essays.

C．They don't have enough work experiences.

D．They have trouble in recognizing and remembering foreign names.

Take the margarine-butter debate for example．Studies that linked fat—found mostly in animal products such as meat and butter—with cancer and heart disease sent millions rushing to buy margarine．But then another study found that people who ate a lot of margarine also had high levels of heart disease．For those who have a firm faith in science, this seems to be the end of the world．

But many doctors point out that their advice has never been conflicting．For years, and in various countries, they have recommended eating less fat．

People in western countries such as Britain and the United States get about 40 percent of their calories from fat．Doctors say this should be around 30 or even 25 percent,

"We must try to reduce total fat," said Dr．Robert Richardson of the University of Edinburgh, who has been studying the effects of fat on human health for years．

"We need to go to more such food as bread, in particular brown bread, and more fruit and vegetables．"

Fresh produce may not be so safe, either．Last month the British Government advised consumers to peel their pears before eating, while many Americans briefly avoided apples because of fears over an insect killing chemical．

But Dr．Arnold, a British scientist, said any risk of such poisoning would be outweighed by the costs of not eating plant foods．

"On balance, if you were to put both risks against each other, the advice has to be eating as much fruit and vegetable daily as possible," she said．

In general, doctors conclude, variety truly is the best policy．"The general advice is pretty much the same advice that doctors have been talking about for a long time—a varied diet, a mixture of foods and not too much of any one," Arnold said．

1.In which section of the magazine are you most likely to find this passage?

B．it wanted consumers to avoid insect, killing chemicals

C．the skin of pears was found to be bad for people's health

3.The underlined word "outweigh" （Para. 8） means " __________．"

A．to be heavier than usual or allowed B．to be more dangerous than

C．to be greater in value or importance than D．to be considered less important than

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Many doctors say that their advice has never been conflicting．

B．Science provides answers to all our questions．

C．We should peel our pears before eating．

D．We should eat plant foods despite the risk of poisoning．

While in-car satellite navigation systems are considered a great surprise of the technological age, they are also destroying our ability to read maps and weakening our very sense of self, according to one of the nation’s leading geographers.

Rita Gardener, president of the Royal Geographical Society, said, “If you are looking at a road map of Great Britain, apart from looking at roads, you will get a feel for the natural environment you are moving through and that will tell you something about the economy and the history.”

“An ability to place oneself in a spatial (空间的) setting in this way is important,” Dr Gardner added, “because it provides an insight (洞察力) into the societal, environmental and economic changes that govern all our lives. It also sharpens our hunter instincts (本能) and sense of discovery.”

“Look, for example, at a map of rural East Anglia,” she said, “and you will see the route from Cambridge to the coast with the A14 running through it. You’ll see that Bury St Edmunds has grown dramatically in the last 15 years because there are lots of new development and new light industry. This tells you that it is on the route between the Midlands and the coast at Harwich and it has benefited from increased traffic to the Continent.” She said, “You would get none of that information from a sat-nav.”

While emphasizing the importance of being able to read a map, Dr Gardner is less concerned about teaching children to memorize maps of continents, rivers and capital cities. A recent survey by National Geographic Kids magazine found that 20 per cent of children in Britain cannot find their own country on a world map, she said.

“It is much more important that kids know about major continents and different climate zones than that they know the name of a particular country, providing they know how to look it up in a map.”

“What’s important is that when they fly on holiday from Manchester to Malaga, they have an understanding that they are moving into a different geographical zone and they know why the Mediteranean landscape is different from what they see at home,” she said.

1．The passage mainly deals with _____.

A．the importance of geography knowledge in our life

B．the differences between sat-nav systems and maps

C．the importance of the ability to read maps

D．the advantage of a sat-nav system

2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4?

A．Harwich B．Midlands

C．Bury St Edmunds D．East Anglia

3．In Dr Gardner’s opinion, kids in Britain _____.

A．should memorize all the continents, rivers and capital cities in maps

B．had better fly to Malaga to realize different landscapes between Mediterranean and UK

C．should master some basic principles of geography

D．can turn to a sat-nav for help for a lack of geography knowledge

4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The road map tells us more than just the route from one place to another.

B．We can tell the history and economy of a region with the help of a sat-nav.

C．A sat-nav contains as much information as a map.

D．Children who know about different climate zones can find their own country in a world map.

Many countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car’s airbags that will inflate（使充气）during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.

Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920’s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.

Dr. C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5, 1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable(伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three-point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.

In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front-seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated(授权) the use of five-point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.

An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.

The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver’s airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre-inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.

An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.

63. This article mostly deals with .

A. how to drive safely on the road B. different forms of seat belts

C. the history of seat belt development D. the importance of seat belt use

64. We can learn from this article that _____.

A. to reduce your risk of death or serious injury by 70%, you must wear a five-point seat belt while you are driving

B. American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles because they had seen many injuries caused by car accidents

C. if two or more collisions occur during a serious car accident, your airbags can help reduce the risk of death by 70%

D. the U.S. was the first country to require by law that car drivers and front-seat passengers wear their seat belts

65. The author treats the subject of this article with .

A. good humor B. admiration C. seriousness D. disapproval

66. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Seat belts were first used in airplanes and then applied to vehicles.

B. Airbags, door locks, and seat belts were all designed at the same time.

C. The lap belt is more modern than the 3-point safety belt.

D. Buying the latest seat belts is an essential driving skill.

Butter is bad for you—so is margarine（人造黄油）．Coffee raises blood pressure, but may protect against cancer．Alcohol is okay, but only if it's wine．The confusing studies on what is safe to eat and drink are enough to make it impossible for anyone to understand what "good food" is．
