摘要:E Road research experts, puzzled by “motorway madness , are to make an attempt to discover why drivers continue to take deadly risks in mist and fog. Studies of motorway accidents have given us surprising fact that 98% of drivers ignore all warning of coming danger, particularly fog. After two years of computerized research into driving and crashes, Dr Peter Lewis, a lecturer at Birmingham University Department of Transportation, says: “the positive fright of a crash appears to be the only thing that will make a driver more careful. His findings agree with those of experts in the Department of the Environment, who have persuaded R. John Gilbert, Minister of Transport, to give the right to the latest of a series of projects to stop the killer resulting from many crashed on motorways. Next month, a 5000-pound American automatic speed-recording machine that photographs vehicle exceeding a set speed will be installed on a stretch of the M4 near Reading. The machine, called Orbis takes a photograph of the vehicle and its number plate, and records its speed, the time and the date. It can record up to 900 vehicles an hour in a 24-hour period. Similar machines are used in Germany and the USA as speed traps, but Dr Gilbert is determined that Orbis will be used only for experiment by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory. Dr Gilbert said last week, “We shall use the machine to identify drivers who drive fast in fog. The department will then write to them and invited them to complete a questionnaire and perhaps take part in some physical tests. He added, “One of the most interesting aspects of the research so far is that some motorists can see better than others in fog. It is already known that the driver who can see best is not necessarily the fastest, but a well-sighted driver frequently gathers behind him a group of vehicles whose drivers are madly trying to keep his tail lights in view, despite the advice which states, “Don’t hang on to someone else’s tail light. It gives a false sense of security. 72. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. In spite of all warnings of coming danger, many drivers keep on driving fast in fog. B. severe punishment and a fine will stop drivers from driving fast in fog. C. To make a driver more careful in fog a speed limit has to be set. D. To stop traffic accident, more warnings should be given, especially in bad weather. 73. The machine Orbis can do all of the following except . A. identifying drivers who drive fast in fog B. recording the time and the date C. recording a vehicle’s speed D. stopping a vehicle from running fast 74. Why do many drivers follow closely the vehicle whose drivers can see better? A. They are poor sighted and cannot see clearly what lies before them. B. They think in this way they can avoid being caught when driving fast. C. They believe by doing so they would feel much safer. D. They think they can avoid a false sense of security. 75. According to the passage, the driver who can see better . A. always drives the fastest B. often follows the tail lights of a car before C. always gives other drivers a false sense of security D. often has many vehicles following him 第二卷

W Taipei

The W Hotel is among the city’s big-name luxury(奢华) hotels. Futuristic and fancy, the W Taipei’s setting is reminding you of a Lady Gaga video; perhaps that explains why the singer insisted on staying here on a recent visit. There are eight room types to choose from, with names such as Fabulous and Extreme Wow. They vary wildly in style.

If sleeping in landmarks is your thing, the Taipei Grand Hotel is a must. The Grand is an expression of classical Chinese art mixed with Western construction principles. The Grand Hotel is attractive and full of history, but rooms are aging, so don’t expect the inside to be as “grand” as the outside. You can enjoy yourself at a driving range of golf, year-round pools and no fewer than eight restaurants.

E
Parking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The city is seeing a rise in private car owners. In March, the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to 14,600 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles.
Downtown Shanghai is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesn’t provide an ideal solution. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown. Based on this idea, the city will limit the number of parking lots in downtown areas and demand higher parking fees but build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
72.The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means __________.
A. making     B. arguing        C. controlling        D. inspiring
73. About __________ drivers can find places to park their cars in Shanghai now.
A. 850,000     B. 1,000,000       C. 150,000        D. 2,000,000
74. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us ?
A. The city sent out more private licenses in February.
B. Less and less people bought cars in March.
C. The city sent out less private licenses in March.
D. More and more people are going to buy cars.
75. According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will __________.
A. send out more private car licenses
B. build more parking lots near bus stops
C. encourage people to buy more cars
D. build more parking areas in downtown
