The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory
named “Drive LAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key
第2页/共8页
stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older
people, leading to them becoming more isolated and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers
which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations.
Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country driving is important
for keeping their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people
avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is
that people stop driving before they really need to.”
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The Drive LAB is helping us to
understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to
solve these problems.”
“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we
found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed
limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of
preventing that.”
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the
wheel.”
19. What is the purpose of the Drive LAB
A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars.
C. To teach people traffic rules. D. To find out older driver’s problems.
20. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe
A. It keeps them independent. B. It helps them save time.
C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses.
21. What do researchers hope to do for older people
A. Ensure their safety with the help of technology.
B. Improve their diving skills.
C. Provide advice on repairing their cars.
D. Organize regular physical checkups.
22. What is the best title for the text
A. A New Model Electric Car B. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road
C. A Solution to Traffic Problems D. Driving Services for Elders
C
Recently, Whitewater Middle School students in the US looked at 200 pounds (90.7kg) of food. Their
classmates threw it away after a meal in the cafeteria.
They found the remains of pizzas. They saw untouched green salads and pieces of bread bitten only once.
It was, they said, both disgusting and educational.
“You don’t realize how much food waste you’re making till you see it,” said student Cody Gist.
第3页/共8页
To deal with this problem, Whitewater added environmental science as a school-wide program this year.
Teachers are guiding their students through research on the ways food is linked to environment, poverty, and
people’s health.
The school changed to compostable (可用作堆肥的) paper trays (托盘) as well. Working with Every Tray
Counts, a US nonprofit group, the school hopes for a change from disposable (一次性的) trays to compostable
paper trays.
This isn’t just an exercise at school. Whitewater is joining a network of schools, business and neighborhoods.
They try to make composting as mainstream as recycling.
“The larger issue is protection of landfill space,” said Laurette Hall, an environmental management official.
The area has enough space to last for maybe 25 more years, she said “That isn’t as much as it sounds in such a
rapidly growing area.”
Principal Beth Thompson said students advise each other on new ways to deal with trash.
“Students understand why it matters so not one student refused to do extra work when throwing away their
waste,” Thompson said.
Whitewater teachers make sure students know how their own eating habits are part of bigger problems. In
environmental literature class, students read books such as Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American
Meal.
Mollie Lyman works with several language arts classrooms. Their classes discuss such issues as how poor
neighborhoods often have less access to healthy food.
Lyman says she wants students to ask some basic questions: “What do we eat What do we waste ”
23. Why did Whitewater Middle School students look at the food
A. To see how food was connected with other problems.
B. To find out the calories of different kinds of food.
C. To check what foods were most popular among students.
D. To prepare students for the environmental science course.
24. What measures did Whitewater Middle School take
① Introducing a new course about the environment.
② Using compostable paper trays in the cafeteria.
③ Setting up a group called Every Tray Counts.
④ Joining others to make composting common.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
25. What did Laurette Hall worry about
A. People don’t want to protect landfill space.
B. There won’t be enough landfill space in the future.
C. Students don’t know how to recycle trash.
D. Students don’t understand the waste problem.
26. What is the purpose of the article
A. To tell readers how important it is to save food.
B. To call on students to care about poor people.
第4页/共8页
C. To encourage schools to have environmental protection classes.
D. To share how a US school is making an effort for the environment.

构正确，书写工整。
How will we live in 2045
Welcome to life in the future! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You’ve recently had a new
anti-aging treatment, so you look like a 30-year-old. And many people your age could live to be 120 now, so — at
60 — you’re not old at all.
Science has also found amazing ways to keep people healthy. Nanotechnology can help cure many illnesses,
including cancer. And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can “grow” a new one in a laboratory.
As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It becomes red. In 2045, “smart” clothes contain
nanoparticles that carry electricity. So you can program clothes to change colors or patterns.
On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your cell phone is by the window because it gets its
energy from the sun. But you don’t need to pick up the phone. You can just touch your jacket sleeve to make the
call.
It’s breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but a voice says, “Don’t drink that!” Your fridge knows the milk is
old, and tells the supermarket to replace it. Ten minutes later, it’s delivered by a drone (无人驾驶机).
As you leave for work, the lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into “sleep” mode to save energy. In
2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where you want to go. Will all this come true
Perhaps the future is much closer than we think.
49. In 2045, what has helped cure cancer (不多于 5 个词)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
50. Where does the cell phone get energy from (不多于 6 个词)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
51. After the fridge orders milk, how long does it take to be delivered (不多于 6 个词)
__________________________________________________________________________________________

53. Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear that you’re thinking about the relationship between sports and health. As for me, the sports that
I’m really into is basketball.
I play basketball with my friends every weekend at the school basketball court. Before playing, I always make
sure to warm up properly to avoid injuries. I usually wear comfortable sports shoes and suitable clothing. The reason
why I love basketball is that it not only helps me stay fit but also teaches me the importance of teamwork and
perseverance. Every game is a chance to learn and grow.
What about you Do you have any favorite sports
Yours,
Li Hua
