15.Britain's oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101.Mr.John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest Fach,near Swansea.But,when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital he just could not refuse.
He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit,favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole."It's very exciting.There's no doubt about it,"he said.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home,except for one trip to Aberdeen."But I've been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21miles from home,"he joked.
Mr Evans,who spent 60years working as a miner in South Wales,almost made the journey to London once before,at the turn of the century."There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea-too much I thought.All my money went to the family then,"he said.
During the next two days Mr.Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights.Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP,Mr.Gareth Wardell.
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired."I don't like the chair-people will think I am getting old."he said.His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no wine,no tobacco and no anger.
Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son,Amwell,he said jokingly,"I'm glad to see they've given me a return ticket."

41.The very reason that Mr.Evans didn't go to see the world is thatC.
A.he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe
B.he was too busy to go too far away from home
C.he couldn't afford both the time and the money
D.he believed"East or west,home is best"
42.Mr Evans didn't like the wheelchair simply becauseD.
A.he was not used to traveling in it
B.the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate
C.he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home
D.he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip
43.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.Mr.Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young.
B.The trip to London excited Mr.Evans very much.
C.Mr.Evans could not really enjoy the trip because of his age.
D.Humor was one of Mr.Evans'characters.

16.Tudor Cobalas nearly crashed his car while driving and texting on his phone.It was this near-death experience that inspired him to turn the smartphone from a weapon of mass distraction into a tool for safer driving.
Mr.Cobalas developed Safe Drive,an app that rewards drivers for ignoring their phones while driving.Once a driver drives too fast,the app launches a"Release"button on the screen,effectively locking the phone.Driving without checking the phone generates scores that can be turned into shopping discounts in the Safe Drive Marketplace.
It's a simple idea that has attracted nearly 100,000 users globally and 30 commercial partners.Worldwide,about 1.25million people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents,according to the World Health Organization."Smartphone distraction"is blamed for an increasing number of accidents.Drivers using a mobile phone are four times more likely to be involved in a crash.Many parents also want to educate their children,young drivers.That is why a growing number of technology businessmen are trying to handle the problem.
"Although smartphones are rightly blamed for an increase in distracted driving,we wanted to show that smartphones could be used to make drivers better,"says Hari Balakrishnan,chief technology officer of Cambridge Mobile Telematics,a US company that has developed an app called Drive Well.
The app measures all aspects of driving such as hard braking,abrupt acceleration,sharp cornering and speeding.But it also monitors how often drivers are distracted by their phones and generates a"safety score"at the end of each trip.The free app features competition leader boards that enable drivers to compete with their friends,family and colleagues,as well as personalized safer driving tips.Good safety scores can earn drivers discounts on car insurance,Mr.Balakrishnan says.
Last year the company started a competition to find Boston's safest driver.Nearly 5,000 people have signed up,and 98 have been awarded more than 3,400 in prizes.Data from 40,000 Drive Well app users around the world present its effectiveness,says Mr.Madden.

28.What caused Tudor Cobalas to develop the app Safe Drive?D
A.Multi-functions of this app.
B.His desire to make a fortune.
C.Many parents'worries about teenagers'driving safety.
D.His own experience about being distracted by his smartphone.
29.What do Safe Drive and Drive Well have in common?C
A.They keep a specific record of hard braking.
B.They fail to help decrease the number of traffic accidents.
C.Their users get some scores in the driving process.
D.Their users get money as a reward directly.
30.Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the underlined word"distracted"in paragraph 4?A
A.Lacking concentration.
B.Lacking confidence.
C.Speedy.
D.Dangerous.
31.What is the purpose of the passage?D
A.To present the harmful effects of smartphones in the driving process.
B.To introduce some useful apps that can guarantee our safety.
C.To compare different types of apps concerning driving safety.
D.To show us smartphones can make drivers safer in a way.
13.Two teachers are sitting in a laboratory,their dirty hands buried in grass.Mary Richmond is a sixth grade science teacher at Cache LaPoudre Middle School in Laporte,Colo.Jolene McDowell teaches high school biology at Great Mills High School in Maryland.The two women have spent the past week doing science as part of the Research Experience for Teachers Program at the Toolik Field Station,only 188kilometers south of the Arctic Ocean.Armed with the research experience,they will be excited to head back to share their stories with their students about science in the Arctic in a few weeks.
For their two-week experience,Richmond and McDowell are living in a tent.So far,they have helped to set up a laboratory,processed soil samples and mounted other samples onto microscope slides.
"As teachers in the classroom,I think it's important for us to get out and do science,Richmond says.This experience has rekindled (重新点燃)her enthusiasm for science,she says.Richmond is looking forward to taking it back to the classroom."If I'm excited about it,the kids are more likely to be excited about it,''she notes.And in her sixth grade classroom,enthusiasm is important.
"It's also important to show students that you want to learn and you're willing to put yourself out there and be uncomfortable,"explains McDowell."I've never been this far north before.This is a location where you don't even flush(冲)your toilet paper.But I'm willing to be here to learn and experience something new,"she adds.
The Toolik research station brings in a different number of teachers each year.Openings are generally posted in March and can be found on the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory website.
After their stay,the two teachers,along with others at research sites around the United States,will have a year to translate their experience to something for the classroom.They can add to their curriculum,make a presentation or come up with a class activity.

3.More than four million people around the world are bitten by snakes each year.At least 125,000 of these people die,while almost three million others are seriously injured.Doctors and researchers say we do not have enough good treatments for poisonous snakebites.To help improve the situation,an international project called the Global Snakebite Initiative (GSI) has been formed.
     Poisonous snakebites are most common in rural areas of developing countries with hot climates.Many of the victims are agricultural workers and children in Asia and Southern Africa.Shortages of antivenom medicine,the treatment for snakebite,are common there,while existing supplies may be of low quality,or inappropriate to local needs.
Doctor Herbert Winkel of GSI says antivenom treatment is also too costly for many of the poor people who need it most.The Initiative is trying to increase the availability of high quality antivenom treatment and improve medical training.Another goal is to help manufacturers of antivenom medicines improve their products,while also teach communities about snakebites and first aid.It wants more research and better reporting systems,and aims to help national health officials choose antivenom appropriate for their countries.
The drugs are developed from the venom of poisonous snakes.For example,laboratory workers in Costa Rica may collect venom(毒液)from highly poisonous Fer de Lance snakes in order to make antivenom for the snake's bite.However,the antivenom that cures the bite of one kind of snake may not be effective for that of another,and treatment for a cobra bite in the Philippines may not work for someone bitten by a similar snake in West Africa.
Experts look forward to improvements in the worldwide treatment of snakebite,but say that the best ways to reduce deaths and injuries from snakebites are education and prevention.

33.What's the main idea of the text?A
A.The work GSI is doing to improve snakebite treatment.
B.How to tell poisonous snakes from common ones.
C.How to treat the snakebites on the spot.
D.The present situation of snakebite treatment in poor countries.
34.Which of the following functions are performed by the GSI?C
a.Helping to improve the ability to produce antivenom medicine.
b.Telling people how to use antivenom medicine properly.
c.Teaching about snakebites and first aid.
d.Helping choose appropriate antivenom.
A.abc           B.acd           C.bcd            D.abd
35.Which of the following is NOT true about poisonous snakebites?B
A.The venom of poisonous snakes can be used to cure their bites.
B.They are not very common in countries with hot climates.
C.The existing treatment of them is unsatisfactory.
D.Poor people usually cannot afford snakebite treatment.
