How good are U.S. drivers?
The CBS TV “National Drivers Test” showed that many U.S. drivers have a lot to learn. Here’s why:
CBS picked 1,799 samples(被实验者) to take the test in TV studios in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test. And the average score was the lowest passing mark－51 points out of a possible 80.
Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points. Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points. New York and Philadephia drivers tied(得同样的分数) with 50 points－a failing score. Drivers with 50 points or less were rated(被评价为) “poorly informed” by the judges.
Here are some of the test results:
(1) Are men better informed drivers than women?－Yes. Men averaged 52 points. Women got average of 49.
(2) Are older drivers better informed than younger drivers?－No. Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points. Drivers from 27 to 45 averaged 51. Driver over 45 failed with 48 points on average.
(3) Does education make a difference?－Yes. College graduates averaged 52 points. High school graduates averaged 50. Those without high school diplomas(文凭) got 48. And people who had taken driver education courses scored an average of 53 points－three more than those who hadn’t.
(4) Does driving experience make a difference?－Yes. Drivers with three or more years’ experience averaged 51 points. Drivers with less experience averaged 49.
Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test:
(1)More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking(闪烁) red light means a full stop. (2)Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonal (eight-sided) sign means stop.
(3)More than two of three drivers did not know what to do when being “tailgated”(危险地，紧接另一辆驶) The answer: slow down, drive to the right, and let the driver behind pass.
The results of the test were turned over to the National Safety Council. They will help future safety planning.
16．The author’s purpose is to ___________.
A．prove that men are better drivers than women B．give you safe driving tips(提示)
C．tell you the results of a national drivers test. D．urge you to get an education.
17．From the information in this article, you could say that _________.
A．older drivers are better informed than younger drivers
B．experience makes difference among drivers
C．most drivers failed the test
D．most people don’t know what a blinking red light means
18．Which of the following as a group was rated “poorly informed” by the judges?
A．Men. B．High school graduate drivers.
C．Drivers from 27 to 45 years of age. D．Drivers with 3 or more years’ experience.
19．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Men are better informed than women.
B．Education makes no difference in the pass rate of the drivers.
C．Chicago drivers are the best informed drivers in America.
D．The test results will be used as a guide for future safety planning.
20． A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.
It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.
Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.
By Ariel Lewiton

Apparently，we are safe neither at home nor in the business office．We use water in both places，but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects．These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one’s house．They are released(set free)from water by daily actions like water running out of tap，spraying from garden pipes，or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines．As the water is moving．these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in. Once inside our bodies, they start to affect our health.
Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that“new smell, ”which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized.
These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even one’s car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage.
We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that“there is no place like home.”
21．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．The air we breathe in is harmful.
B．The water in everyday use is unsafe.
C．Chemicals are added to the drinking water.
D．Chemicals are released in the running water.
22．In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that .
A．bathing should be done with caution
B．homes and offices should be aired often
C．any pollution should be taken into consideration
D．we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us
23．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To call on us to guard our water.
B．To show us that no place is like home.
C．To make us aware of the pollution around us.
D．To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe.

六、信息匹配
40．阅读下面短文，从方框中选出每部分恰当的标题。
Green Christmas
A．A real tree
B．Eco-friendly Christmas
C．Green advice
D．Recycle or replant
Are you dreaming about a white or green Christmas？
Traditionally, most people hope for a white Christmas in the UK. However, more and more individuals are working towards making it a green one.
With environmental issues a high priority on the social and political agenda, Brits are keen to enjoy the festivities and, at the same time, be kind to the planet.
1
Statistics show that more waste is produced at Christmas by the food and drink we consume and the presents we exchange. With this in mind, the government and the public are making a conscious effort to make 2006 an eco-friendly Christmas.
2
For example, the Scottish Executive has dedicated a section of its website to advising the public on the different ways they can have a green Christmas.
Suggestions include re-using old Christmas cards and wrapping paper, using energy-saving Christmas lights, and saving product waste by buying “experience” gifts, like theatre tickets or a museum pass.
3
Another suggestion on the site was made by Duncan McLaren, from Friends of the Earth Scotland. He said: “If you really must have a Christmas tree, then make it a live one.” This idea is also recommended by local councils across England.
Suffolk Coastal District Council, for example, has encouraged local residents to buy a real Christmas tree which can be planted out or composted after the festive season.
4
Councillor Andrew Nunn, the Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “Trees with roots can be replanted in the garden either for re-use next year or just left to grow to enhance the garden scene. People are often put off buying a real tree because of falling needles, but this is now a thing of the past with new varieties of trees being grown that hardly shed any. Needles that do fall can be swept up and put on the compost heap or in the brown garden waste bin for recycling.”

How good are U.S. drivers?
The CBS TV “National Drivers Test” showed that many U.S. drivers have a lot to learn. Here’s why:
CBS picked 1,799 samples(被实验者) to take the test in TV studios in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test. And the average score was the lowest passing mark－51 points out of a possible 80.
Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points. Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points. New York and Philadephia drivers tied(得同样的分数) with 50 points－a failing score. Drivers with 50 points or less were rated(被评价为) “poorly informed” by the judges.
Here are some of the test results:
(1) Are men better informed drivers than women?－Yes. Men averaged 52 points. Women got average of 49.
(2) Are older drivers better informed than younger drivers?－No. Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points. Drivers from 27 to 45 averaged 51. Driver over 45 failed with 48 points on average.
(3) Does education make a difference?－Yes. College graduates averaged 52 points. High school graduates averaged 50. Those without high school diplomas(文凭) got 48. And people who had taken driver education courses scored an average of 53 points－three more than those who hadn’t.
(4) Does driving experience make a difference?－Yes. Drivers with three or more years’ experience averaged 51 points. Drivers with less experience averaged 49.
Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test:
(1)More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking(闪烁) red light means a full stop. (2)Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonal (eight-sided) sign means stop.
(3)More than two of three drivers did not know what to do when being “tailgated”(危险地，紧接另一辆驶) The answer: slow down, drive to the right, and let the driver behind pass.
The results of the test were turned over to the National Safety Council. They will help future safety planning.

20． A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.
It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.
Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.

Apparently，we are safe neither at home nor in the business office．We use water in both places，but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects．These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one’s house．They are released(set free)from water by daily actions like water running out of tap，spraying from garden pipes，or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines．As the water is moving．these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in. Once inside our bodies, they start to affect our health.
Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that“new smell, ”which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized.
These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even one’s car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage.
We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that“there is no place like home.”
21．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．The air we breathe in is harmful.
B．The water in everyday use is unsafe.
C．Chemicals are added to the drinking water.
D．Chemicals are released in the running water.
22．In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that .
A．bathing should be done with caution
B．homes and offices should be aired often
C．any pollution should be taken into consideration
D．we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us
23．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To call on us to guard our water.
B．To show us that no place is like home.
C．To make us aware of the pollution around us.
D．To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe.

六、信息匹配

Green Christmas
A．A real tree
B．Eco-friendly Christmas
C．Green advice
D．Recycle or replant
Are you dreaming about a white or green Christmas？
Traditionally, most people hope for a white Christmas in the UK. However, more and more individuals are working towards making it a green one.
With environmental issues a high priority on the social and political agenda, Brits are keen to enjoy the festivities and, at the same time, be kind to the planet.
1
Statistics show that more waste is produced at Christmas by the food and drink we consume and the presents we exchange. With this in mind, the government and the public are making a conscious effort to make 2006 an eco-friendly Christmas.
2
For example, the Scottish Executive has dedicated a section of its website to advising the public on the different ways they can have a green Christmas.
Suggestions include re-using old Christmas cards and wrapping paper, using energy-saving Christmas lights, and saving product waste by buying “experience” gifts, like theatre tickets or a museum pass.
3
Another suggestion on the site was made by Duncan McLaren, from Friends of the Earth Scotland. He said: “If you really must have a Christmas tree, then make it a live one.” This idea is also recommended by local councils across England.
Suffolk Coastal District Council, for example, has encouraged local residents to buy a real Christmas tree which can be planted out or composted after the festive season.
4
Councillor Andrew Nunn, the Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “Trees with roots can be replanted in the garden either for re-use next year or just left to grow to enhance the garden scene. People are often put off buying a real tree because of falling needles, but this is now a thing of the past with new varieties of trees being grown that hardly shed any. Needles that do fall can be swept up and put on the compost heap or in the brown garden waste bin for recycling.”
