We all hate speed cameras，don’t we？They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents；they just make money for the government．They trick us，cost us cold hard cash，disturb us from driving properly and are unfair．

Well，here’s a surprising thing：what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives？It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France，a country with a historically poor record of road safety．

There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example，but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory（强迫的）seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995．

Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time，or 4.9 percent less than2004．Comparing road deaths to populating in 2005，that’s about 817 per million people compared with Australia’s 806．

And guess what？Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years．

Okey, you know the arguments on the increased traffic safety and cameras. for-inco me, but in seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A theer-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.

Traveling on the highways，it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when one few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming There’s even all official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly

Maybe it is because of such transparency by government，rather than the secrecy too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy their life thanks to speed cameras

We can learn from the first paragraph that ．

A．speed cameras cost us our lives

B．speed cameras help HS drive properly

C．most people think speed cameras are good for slowing drivers down

D．most people think speed cameras are used to make money for the government

In France, a driver should obey the following rules EXCEPT ．

A．blood alcohol limit lowering B．speed limit obeying

C．camera location updating D．seat belt wearing

The underlined word ‘‘transparency’’ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ．

A．honesty B．openness C．innocence D．strictness

Now you can seldom see in France ．

A．lunch time last long with drunk people rushing back to office

B．people drive at a speed of less than 130 km／h

C．drivers drive according to the traffic lights

D．police conduct traffic in streets

What is the text mainly about？

A．The argument on speed cameras

B The drivers in France hating speed cameras

C．France does successfully in controlling road accidents

Health and climate scientists have mapped how climate change affects different parts of the world in different ways. The scientists point to the fact that changes in the past thirty years may, have been affecting human health. Possible effects include more deaths from extreme(极度的) heat or cold, more storms and more crop failures in dry periods.

The health and climate scientists recently estimated(估计) that climate changes caused by human activity lead to more than one hundred and fifty thousand deaths each year. Cases of sickness are estimated at five million. And the W.H.O. says the numbers could rise quickly by the year of 2003.

Jonathan Patz of an environmental institute led the study. Professor Patz points out that climate scientists connected global warming with the heat that killed thousands in Europe in August, 2003. But he says poor countries least responsible(对……负责) for the warming are most in danger from the health effects of higher temperatures.

Professor Patz says areas in greatest danger include southern and eastern Africa and coastlines along the Pacific and Indian oceans. Also, large cities experience what scientists call a "heat island"effect that can make conditions worse.

Representatives(代表) from about two hundred countries hold a meeting in Canada, to discuss climate change. The ten-day meeting ends on December 9th. It is the first such United Nations meeting since the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书) took effect earlier this year. The agreement aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and other heat-trapping(吸热的) gases sent off into the air.

1.Who is Jonathan Patz?

A．A scientist responsible for the climate change.

B．A scientist in charge of the study of the climate change.

C．A professor interested in the climate change.

D．A professor who is a representative from an African country.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Climate changes affect different parts of the world in the same way.

B．The ten-day meeting is the first United Nations meeting on climate change.

C．The Kyoto Protocol aims to make smaller the amount of heat-trapping gases into the air.

D．Poor countries are responsible for the global warming.

3.Possible effects from the climate changes include the following EXCEPT ______.

A．crop failures

B．storms

C．more deaths from overheat

D．air pollution

4.According to the health and climate scientists, climate changes have been caused by ______.

A．dry weather

B．cold weather

C．human activities

D．storms

5.We can infer from the passage that ______.

A．climate changes are having a bad effect on human’s health

B．Professor Patz leads the study of climate changes

C．a "heat island"effect large cities experience makes the matter worse

D．rich countries are most responsible for climate changes
