20．With more and more cars on the road，traffic jams are inevitable（不可避免的）．Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars．It's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether．（16）G
Check for traffic jams before you leave．
You can listen to the radio for traffic news，or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic．If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic，you can choose another．
Look for a different route all the time．
Most traffic jams happen on busy roads．（17）FAlthough the distance you may have to travel is further，it can work out quicker．

7．Elephants have impressed us for centuries．They are big，clever，and sociable．But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer？
People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer，even though they have life spans（寿命）that are similar to humans，living for around 50to 70years．
Now scientists believe they know why．A team at the University of Chicago，Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤）from developing．To be precise，they found 20copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP 53in elephants．Most other species，humans included，only carry one copy．
According to the research，which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv，the extra copies of the gene improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage．This lets the cells（细胞）quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can form deadly tumors．
"An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals，"study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian．If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous，large creatures with long life spans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do．But across species，the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass．
This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named"Peto's paradox"．Evolutionary biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller do not，In the elephant's case，the making of TP53is nature's way of keeping this species alive．
The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice，they had the same cancer resistance as elephants．This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place．
"Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer，"said Joshua Schiffman，an oncologist at the School of Medicine，University of Utah，US．
"It's up to us to learn how different animals tackle（对付）the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people．"

4．Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer？B
A．They have a large body size
B．They carry many genes that keep tumors from developing
C．Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors
D．Their genes suffer no DNA damage
5．According to Dr．Vincent Lynch，what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals？D
A．Extreme weather              
B．Cells killing themselves
C．Human behavior              
D．A risk of deadly tumors
6．What does the underlined expression"this phenomenon"on the sixth paragraph refer to？A
A．The risk of cancer is not related to body size
B．Larger animals have protection from TP53
C．Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do
D．The larger animals are，the bigger risk of cancer they have
7．We can conclude from the last three paragraphs thatB．
A．depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer
B．the TP53genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice
C．this new treatment is more effective than the present ones
D．humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future．
17．An American company has developed a car powered by electricity that travels at high speed like cars powered by traditional fuels．Company officials say the car is experimental and will not be sold to the public for a long while．Yet some experts have called the vehicle（交通工具） an important step toward the production of pollution-free automobiles （汽车）．The new car，called the Impact，was made by the General Motors company．Engineers say the Impact uses technology developed for the car that won the first international race for vehicles powered by sunlight．The Impact creat es no air pollution because its power comes from a large battery（电瓶）．It can travel at a speed of 88 kilometers an hour．Then the battery must be refueled with more electricity．The battery can be refueled in a few hours with electric current （电流） from a person's house．It must be replaced completely every two years．The Impact has two motors．Each powers one of the front wheels．Reports say the car makes almost no noise at low speed．It makes a small noise as it goes faster．The Impact has a top speed of 160 kilometers an hour and it can go from zero to 96 kilometers an hour in eight seconds．That is faster than most gas-powered cars．
The head of General Motors，Roger Smith，has not said how much the Impact might cost，but he says it would have to be competitive with other car prices．Mr Smith also says a few problems still remain．For example，the cost of operating the Impact today would be about twice that of other cars．Reports say the new electric car has raised hopes among environmental officials，especially in California．American car makers are hurrying to meet new air pollution laws in that state．General Motors says California would be the main market for the Impact．But the company says it would not produce the car at all unless people all over the United States wanted to buy it．Some company officials say the car could be in production within five years．

28．The highest speed the Impact can reach isCkilometers an hour．
A.88  B.96  C.160  D.190
29．The power of the new car comes fromD．
A．wind    B．sunlight      C．gas    D．battery
30．Bwould welcome this new product．
A．People who like motor races            B．Environmental officials
C．Managers of filling stations           D．Workers of General Motors
31．Which of the statements below is NOT true about the Impact？C
A．It is not powered by traditional fuels．
B．It uses technology that is developed for another type of pollution-free car．
C．It has a motor that can power four wheels at the same time．
D．It has not been put in practical production．

1．Many adults take too much time to attempt to stop children playing．They are usually the people who think of playing as being the（41）B of working and therefore a waste of time and energy．For humans，work is a way of getting food to eat，and like humans，（42）A must spend time doing the（43）A things．Regardless of this，children really（44）C playing，and so do other young animals．So it is quite（45）A to keep both a small child and a young cat（46）D for hours with a piece of paper．
Hunting may be the most obvious skill（47）D in play，but it is far from being the only one．Lambs and goat kids play（48）A although they will never（49）A anything other than some grass．But for these young animals too，（50）C is an important part of learning．Sheep and goats are （51）C hill and mountain animals．Running and skipping exercise young legs and develop a strong sense of（52）D that will keep them safe on the steepest rocks．
（53）B animals play，human play is not so different．（54）A trees and catching flies are not the most obvious training for the adult world，but the flexibility（55）D in these activities is similar to that required of a bus driver or businessman．
What we know about animals shows us that playing is a very good way of（56）A，so maybe one of the best ways for（57）C to learn is also by playing．Children find playing is fun，but （58）D notice that they are also learning at the same time．Most people continue to play games long after they have become（59）A，and perhaps that is because we rely so much on our （60）D to learn．
