3．What is the most popular way to travel in the whole world，not counting a human being's two legs？You say by car？No．Train？Wrong again．Airplane？I'm sorry，but you're not even close．The most popular way of going from one place to another is by bicycle．And it is a surprise to most Americans．After all，we see thousands of cars each day．We don't see nearly as many bikes．
In the United States most bike riders are either young people or adults bicycling for exercise．About nine million bikes are sold in America each year．Nearly three million are sold to adults．The rest are to children．But in the rest of the world，far more people use the bike as their main way of traveling．They ride bikes to work，to school，and to stores．
Bicycles have been around for a long time-about 300 years．You would not like to ride around on those early bikes，though．They didn't have any pedals （脚蹬）．The riders had to push along with their feet．And this bike only went straight ahead．There was no way to turn the front wheel．If the rider wanted to change direction，he or she had to get off and move the bicycle．When pedals were put on the front wheels，riding became easier．The most popular kind of bike in the late 1800s had a very high front wheel and a small back wheel．It was a long fall to the ground!
Another problem was that there were no rubber tires （橡胶轮胎）．It's no wonder that one bike was called the"Boneshaker．"Then in the 1880s，air-filled rubber tires were put on the bicycle's wheels．Since then the bicycle has not changed very much．Of course bikes come in different shapes and colors now，but the main design is still the same．

A．are much cheaper

D．are mainly used to do exercise

2．A dog named Ace is being praised as a hero for licking （舔） the face of a sleeping，deaf 13-year-old Indianapolis boy to warn him that the house was on fire．Indianapolis Fire Department Officer Rita Reith said Nick Lamb was home alone and sleeping without his hearing aids （助听器） when the fire began Wednesday．
"My dog licked my face and woke me up，"Lamb said．"I was like，‘Stop it!What？You want to be fed？'I thought he wanted to be fed or go outside．"The dog didn't stop licking Lamb until the teen got up．That's when he realized the house was full of smoke．"I couldn't hear anything because I had my hearing aids off．My dog Ace smelled it，"Lamb said．"I just wanted to get out．"Without his shoes but with Ace by his side，he covered his nose and mouth with his T-shirt，and rushed out of the back door，catching one of his hearing aids along the way．He then called his mother and 911．
Lindsay Bernard，Lamb's mother，praised Ace for saving her son's life．"It's amazing，because if Ace hadn't been there，Lamb prob ably wouldn't have even woken up，"Bernard said．

1．In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them．（71）E But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously，not only by government but also by car manufacturers．
    The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program．（72）AThat will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads．The super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself．（73）CInstead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．
     According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air，and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．
    Davis says．ears will be fitted with some intelligent devices（装置）to regulate（调节）the distance between one car and another．（74）GComputers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people．
    By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen．（75）DCars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"．"The front vehicle in such a train bums the normal amount．"says Davis．"but all the others in the train would bum about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution．"

A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized．
B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years．
C．And it will not be owned by one individual．
D．And by 2030，cars will travel in line，linked to each other electronically．
E．So the idea that in 20 years'time，no one will own cars may be hard to believe．
F．Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns．
G．The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front．

14．Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling．Recycling in the home is very important of course．However，being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need．We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible，but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place．
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK．In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard．
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment．The UK，for example，is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt，it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycling helps，but the process itself uses energy．The solution is not to produce such items in the first place．Food waste is a serious problem，too．Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need．However，a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue，encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags，for example．
But this is not just about supermarkets．It is about all of us．We have learned to associate packaging with quality．We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality．This is especially true of food．But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products，which often have far more packaging than necessary．
There arc signs of hope．As more of us recycle，we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb．

51．What does the underlined phrase"that over-consumption"refer to？D
A．Using too much packaging．
B．Recycling too many wastes．
C．Making more products than necessary．
D．Having more material than is needed．
52．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to showD．
A．the tendency of cutting household waste
B．the increase of packaging recycling
C．the rapid growth of supermarkets
D．the fact of packaging overuse
53．According to the text，recyclingA．
A．helps control the greenhouse effect
B．means burning packaging for energy
C．is the solution to gas shortage
D．leads to a waste of land
54．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？C
A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．
B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．
C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging．
D．Other products are better packaged than food．
55．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A
A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult．
B．Needless material is mostly recycled．
C．People like collecting recyclable wastes．
D．The author is proud of their consumer culture．

13．Hearing the Sweetest Songs
My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby，but I knew I hadn't lost anything．None of my parts had dropped off．Nothing had changed：I could hear music that was close enough to me．I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room．I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him．
I wasn't aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone．I noticed it ruined my peace of mind：pencils tapping，phones ringing，and refrigerators humming．Then，I began to discover many things I couldn't do．I couldn't tell where sounds came from，nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms．I once missed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone．For the first time，I had to admit that I had lost something．
Unlike a wheelchair，my disability doesn't announce itself．When I got jobs，I chose to keep it as a secret．One day a business friend said，"Nicolette，sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions．People don't know you can't hear，so they think you're strange，stupid-or just plain rude．It would be better to just tell them．"But I knew if I told，people might see only my disability，and they might forget that I was also a writer，a painter，and a good gardener．I felt disabled and helpless．
This bothered me till I met my husband．One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said，"Hear the bird？""What bird？"I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound．If he hadn't mentioned it I would never have noticed it．As I listened，slowly I began to hear-or perhaps imagine-a distant song．Did I really hear it？Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me？I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still．
This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want．Every one of us，if we live long enough，will become disabled in some way．Let's share．Now，just let me see your lips when you speak．And ask what you want to know．These are conversations we all should have，and it's not that hard to begin．

25．When the author wore the hearing aid，sheC．
A．felt better prepared for the job interviews
B．was able to enjoy different sounds
C．experienced a sense of loss
D．was teased by others
26．She didn't tell her disability to others becauseA．
A．people might focus on her hearing loss
B．she could get the work done as abled
C．people might be curious about it
D．she wanted to do more jobs
27．Why did Nicolette write the passage？B
A．To draw people's attention to the hearing problem．
B．To tell people not to treat the disabled differently．
C．To remember the challenges she faced．

Honestly，we've done it to ourselves．We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result，have made ourselves pay attention toevery one of them．This is terrible．（37）EEvery time an email interrupts you，it costs time，money，and brainpower．
Here are some of my best tips to manage emails：

10．We have met the enemy，and he is ours．We bought him at a pet shop．When monkey-pox，a disease usually found in the African rain forest，suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest，it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings．"Most of the infections（感染） we think of as human infections staned in other animals，"says Stephen Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University．
It's not just that we're going to where the animals are；we're also bringing them closer to us．Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country．A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets，and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea．"I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，"says Isaksen．
"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，"says Peter Schantz．Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call．Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners．We know very little about these new diseases． A new bug（病毒） may be kind at first．But it may develop into something harmful，（有害的）． Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious disease．But it is not．impossible to pass the disease from person to person．
