A
Patricia Blues, 29, has a new aim in life: to keep drivers' hands on their steering wheels and off their cell phones. On November 2, 2007, Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and run into the side of Blues' car. Blues' 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash.
Blues has since dedicated her time to pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.
Cell phones are not the only distractions (分神) that cause accidents. Eating, changing CD, reading maps, talking to passengers, and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore, the emphasis should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. However, talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music. At least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. No state has banned it yet, but several U. S. cities have. Worldwide, 13 nations, including Australia, England, Germany, Japan and China have banned drivers' use of cell phones in moving cars.
To date, no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students, "driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldn't be done".
56. What happened to Patricia Blues last November? ____.
A. She was seriously injured in a car crash
B. She lost her daughter in a road accident
C. She broke the traffic rules at a bus stop
D. Her vehicle was destroyed by a motorbike
57. The tragedy was caused by ____.
A. Blues' lack of driving experience
B. the motorist’s failure of seeing the stop sign
C. Blues' poor car conditions
D. the motorist's absence of mind while driving
58. Patricia Blues' new goal of life is to persuade the government ____.
A. to prohibit the carrying of cell phones in cars
B. to educate drivers to avoid all distractions
C. to ban talking on the phone while driving
D. to study, harmful results of using cell phones
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? ____.
A. Using cell phone while driving is easier to be controlled by law than other distractions
B. It is more important to make laws than educate drivers to be aware of driving safety C. Driving while on the phone is firmly against only by some students from high school
D. It is extremely urgent for the cities with a large population to restrict using cell phones
B
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Some parapsychologists (心理学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To study whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, performed several experiments.
In the first one. Baker sat behind unsuspecting people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the suspects, almost all of them said they had no' idea that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment. Baker told subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way minor in a lab setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at than if they had just guessed.
Baker’s experiment concludes again that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If you doubt the outcome of his two experiments, I suggest you repeat the experiments and see for yourselves.
60. The first experiment made by Baker shows that ____.
A. people can’t realize it when they are watched secretly
B. one can't sense other people’s watching when they are talking
C. people have no idea about the sixth sense of human beings
D. the sixth sense doesn’t work during the first 5 or 15 minutes
61. The second experiment differs from the first one in that ____.
A. the subjects were not directly stared at from time to time
B. the subjects had to write something down in a lab sitting
C. the subjects were good at guessing when they were stared at
D. the subjects were informed of the purpose of the experiment
62. What is the author's attitude towards the result of the experiment? ____.
A. Support B. Doubt C. Sympathy D. Surprise
63. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. it’s most probable that humans have six senses
B. the so-called sixth sense doesn’t exist in human beings
C. the experiments done by Baker hardly explain anything
D. people should make conclusions by themselves
C
When people get bad toothaches, they often have to eat soft, easily chewed food. When lions get bad toothaches, they eat people? That' s the conclusion of a zoologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and a dentist who works on carnivores (食肉动物),Lions don’t normally prey on people. Every once in a while, however, a lion will go on a human-eating diet. The most famous such tragedy happened in 1898, when two lions killed and ate 135 railway workers in Kenya.
Examining the preserved skulls (骷髅) of the two big cats, zoologist Bruce Patterson and dentist Ellis Neiburger found that both animals had been suffering from several dental and |aw problems. One lion had three missing teeth and a loose, unsteady lower canine that was probably useless. Canines are pointed teeth that hunting animals use for gripping and piercing prey(刺穿猎物)) .
The two lions might have been so badly disabled that they couldn’t bite down forcefully, say the researchers. Consequently, the lions might have abandoned their normal, more difficult prey and turned to humans. "Humans are easy preys, " said Patterson. "We're very slow, we don’t hear very well, and we don* t see very well in the darkness. "
The research calls their idea the Infirmity Theory. It was inspired partly by the work of Jim Corbett, a tiger hunter in India in the 1930s. Corbett was regularly called in to hunt tigers that had been dining on Indian villagers. Time after time, Patterson discovered that the killer tigers were suffering from some ill-healthy conditions.
64. The original aim of the study is to look for ____.
A. ways of protecting wild animals
B. ways of treating toothaches of lions
C. when and where lions eat people
D. reasons for some lions eating people
65. The reason why lions don't normally prey on people is ____.
A. that they like wild preys better
B. they just hunt for prey at night,
C. that humans are difficult to catch
D. not mentioned in the passage
66. Jim Corbett' story is mentioned in the last paragraph to show that ____.
A. tigers have the same eating habits and preys as lions
B. carnivores hunt people mostly under ill-healthy conditions
C. tigers like hurting villagers while lions like railway workers
D. wild animals swallow humans when they suffer from toothaches .
67. The best title of the passage could be ____.
A. A Zoologist And a Dentist
B. Why Do Some Wild Animals Eat People
C. A Discovery of the Skulls of Lions
D. How Can Health Influence Eating Habits
D
Crime in the city of Clio hit a 30-year low last year. “This is absolutely wonderful for our citizens, our businesses, and our visitors," said Police Chief Louis Gates. Clio has a population of 28,000, but it has at least 30 gangs ( 帮派). The gangs make most of their money from dealing drugs and offering "protection.” They also commit violent crimes, such as stealing, robbery or even murder.
There were 1,486 thefts last year. Most of the thefts involved cars. Thieves also robbed the people at gunpoint or pickpocketed them. They broke .into houses and businesses at the alarming rate of two a day two years ago, but that rate was down to only one a day last year. "That's a 50-percent
decrease in one year," said Gates. "I think the police officers deserve a big pat on the back. Even better, maybe they’ll get that 10-percent raise that they are all hoping for. "
With an example of how the police force has helped reduce crime, Gates talked about bicycle thefts. "For years and years, kids were locking up their bikes at bike stands in front of schools, libraries, and shopping mails. About 10 percent of the time, the kids would come out of the school or wherever and discover that their bike was no longer there. We wracked our brains( 绞尽脑汁) trying to find a solution to this problem. Finally, at the beginning of last year, when we simply removed most of the bike stands, then the bicycle theft rate came down quickly.
Most cities in the state have similar problems. They all involve too many people, too much crime, too few police, and too little money. These problems go along with civilization everywhere. They might reduce, but they will probably never disappear. All people can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
68. Crime in the city of Clio is mainly caused by _____.
A. illegal gangs B. protection providers
C. cruel murderers D. drug dealers
69. The underlined part in the 2nd paragraph probably means the police in Clio ____.
A. hasn’t done well in the prevention of crimes.
B. is responsible for alarming rate of crimes
C. is worth praising for what they have done
D. is faced with sudden attacks from behind
70. The police force has helped reduce the bicycle theft rate by _____.
A. removing most of the bike stands
B. asking kids to lock up their bikes
C. setting up more public bike stands
D. asking kids to park their bikes in front of schools
71. The author wants to tell us that _____.
A. crimes are part of civilization in some of the cities
B. the best will completely defeat the worst in development
C. crimes and civilization are two sides in development
D. civilization development leads to problems in cities
E
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions usually cause the largest, most disastrous debris ( 碎石) flows. A great many victims of the earthquake that struck Wenchuan of Sichuan province last May were killed not by the quake itself but by the sudden large amounts of debris that followed.
Most debris flows occur where the soil is composed mainly of sand or colluviums ( 崩积层) . Loose soils made up of bits of sand or colluviums fall apart easily and are main material for fast -moving debris flows.
Scientists have conducted endless experiments to find out how debris flows work. They have learned that the amount and the timing of water entering the soil are crucial ( 决定性的). Typically, that means debris flows often occur when a long rainy period of many weeks is followed by an intense, brief heavy rain. .
More often than not, however, debris flows are started by water, in the form of rain, snow, or river flow. In 1998, heavy rains from Hurricane Mitch unleashed about one million tons of mudslides, burying thousands of people, in Central America.
Water flows through the soil until it hits a hard layer of bedrock or clay. There the water builds up, filling the tiny spaces between the soil and rock. That buildup reduces the natural friction (摩擦力 ) that keeps the rock and soil debris lying on the slope. If conditions are approaching dangerous levels, the slope will then fall down.
Despite what scientist know about the fact, debris flows are still impossible to predict at present because there are many other uncertains affect the stability of each slope. However, one thing is known: On hillsides where one debris flow has occurred, another will eventually follow. The next debris flow could take days, weeks, or years to happen.
72. The passage is mainly about ____.
A. when and where debris flows occur
B. the experiments that scientists conduct
C. the causes of debris flows
D. the possible ways to predict landslides
73. Debris flows usually take place ____.
A. during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
B. after a heavy rain or an intense snowstorm
C. when there is a right amount of water entering the soil
D. when a long rainy period is followed by a heavy rain
74. The underlined word "unleashed" in the 4th paragraph most probably means ____.
A. released B. organized C. provided D. invented
75. We can infer from the text that ____.
A. water can flow through a hard layer of bedrock or clay
B.the friction can keep the rock and soil debris flowing
C. debris flows can never be predicted by scientists
D. debris flows tend to happen on the same hillsides

Dear Sir,
I' m writing to talk about the problems of food safety nowadays. In order to reduce the cost and make more profits, some food companies don’t take necessary safety measures to guarantee the food quality. As a result, more and more low-quality food flows into the market, doing a lot of harm to consumers' health.
In my opinion, food is essential to human beings. We can not live without proper food. If no notice were taken of food safety, the health of the whole nation would suffer. So I call on the whole society to take action and put an end to the low-quality food. Only in this way can we live a healthier life.
Yours truly,
