11．Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment，one that will require thousands of first-time offenders-whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit-to install （安装） in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition．The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition．If the result is higher than the legal limit，the car will not start．The device also requires random"rolling retests"once the driver is on the road．
Virginia's current law requires only repeat drunken-driving offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their car．
The new law，which takes effect in July，will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times，and offenders will have to pay about﹩480 for a typical six-month installation．
The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders．Such groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia's 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5，500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving．Ignition interlock devices，they say，reduce repeat offenses．But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08，and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees．
Del．Sal R．Iaquinto，who sponsored the bill，had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devices："How much does a life cost？""Blowing into a tube for six months，you will remember that，"Iaquinto said．"And you?re not likely to offend again．"

61．The ignition probably refers to the part in a car where．D
A．the alarm goes off  B．the car is fueled
C．the key is placed   D．the engine starts
62．Who are required to install the blood  alcohol devices according to the current law？A
A．The repeat drunken-driving offenders．
B．The first time drunken-driving offenders．
C．Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15．

A．the government can be financed to build roads
B．some traffic deaths and injuries may be avoided
C．lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
D．the court system is forced to work more effectively
64．The debate aroused by the measure suggests thatC．
A．justice has long arms
B．punishment is the key to all
C．no law is absolutely perfect
D．prevention is better than cure
65．According to Del．Sal R．Iaquinto，the new law isB．

10．Run freely--A lesson about Courage

As I looked （17）A the car window，there was a small park where I saw a little boy，around one and a half to two years old，（18）Dfreely on the grass as his mother watched from a short（19）D．The boy had a big smile on his face（20）C he had just been set free from a （21）A．The boy would then fall to the grass，get up，and without（22）B or without looking back at his mother，run as fast as he could，again，still with a （23）B on his face，as if nothing had happened．

I learned a lot from that observation and （35）B，and have successfully brought that lesson with me in life．

6．The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on（从事） in later life，a new study has suggested．
Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with，the study by the Office for National Statistics found．
Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life．
A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector，they found．A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots．Meanwhile，April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions，births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player，doctor or dentist．
The study was got by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last survey，the Daily Mail reported．Although these trends may be difficult to explain，correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis．
Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia，Alzheimer's disease，asthma and autism．
They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year．
45．From the passage we can know if a baby is born on February.20，it will probably become aC．
A．footballer       B．doctor         C．pianist      D．teacher

B．Researchers make the conclusion just by analyzing the birth of people in 19 separate occupations
C．Being born in a certain month will certainly determine what a baby will do in the future
D．Being born in different months has no influence on what a baby will do in the future
47．What does the underlined word"correlation"in Paragraph 5 mean？A
A．close connection             
B．great influence 
C．effective solution             
D．reasonable conclusion  
48．What's the purpose of this passage？D

Good morning，ladies and gentlemen，
    With the improvement of the living standard，there has been a tendency that people begin to turn to motor vehicles．
4．A．Create family traditions．
B．Remember the 80/20 rule．
C．Insist on family celebrations．
D．Crcate opportunities for talking．
E．Use technology to your advantage．
F．Go on individual dates with your children．

It's no secret that nowadays a majority of parents are overworked，overcommitted and overscheduled．Kids would rather text their friends than chat with Mom or Dad，．which leads to a family communication crisis．Want to improve your family's communication skills？Try following these simple steps．
61．D
Make time for talking by reducing the number of activities your family is involved in each week-the time it frees up for communication will be invaluable．And if you do find yourself in the car running from place to place，make a point to turn off the radio，the cell phones and the personal game players，and use that opportunity to catch up on the day's activities．
62．F
Spending time with each of your children lets them know that they matter and aren't getting lost in a busy day or large family．Older teens might enjoy going out for a hamburger or a latte at their favorite coffee place．Younger children often enjoy going to the supermarket，especially when you let them select their favorite cereal or special dessert．Please remember，regularly making such arrangements can keep the relationship healthy．
63．B
When you are trying to improve any relationship，listening is far more important than talking，so when it comes to family communication，listen four times longer than you speak．Similarly，think twice about what you say before you say it．Sometimes a parent's first reaction is to rant and scream，especially to negative news．Do your best to avoid this，and if you do verbally explode before your child is finished，apologize quickly and assure him or her that you're now ready to listen
64．E
If the family computer's been relegated to homework duties or surfing the Web，why not put it to work by creating a family newsletter that you publish monthly？Ask everyone in the family to contribute"articles"and information about themselves．Then print out a copy for each person and hand deliver it．This would be especially helpful to families that find keeping in touch more difficult as the kids grow up and move away．
65．A
Setting up a family movie night，attending religious services or creating special holiday treats are all examples of family traditions．Family members come to expect and appreciate these traditions，seeing them as opportunities to come together as a unit．If your family is short on traditions，there's no reason you can't start some now．Why not set up a bowling night once a month？Or grow a family garden？Or visit the same spot every year for summer vacation？
