28、e most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and h

29、appy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting b

30、ack and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盤), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualitiesPeople who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unreco

31、gnizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfishAll their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on

32、 the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number eve

33、ry year, to be easily forgotten.It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不嚴(yán)格) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an

34、obviously beneficial effect on the accident rateHere are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are a

35、llowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stri

36、cter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as

37、 too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars. 46. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.C. Only stricter traffic laws

38、 can prevent accidents.D. The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.47. What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society laughs at the motorists. B. Society forgives their rude driving.C. Victims of accidents are nothing. D. Huge car parks are built in the cities and town

39、s.48. What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of his personality” in Para. 2 ?A. Driving can represent his manners.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Driving can bring out his character.D. Driving can show his hidden qualities.49. Which of the followi

40、ngs is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Test drivers every three years.B. Stricter driving tests.C. Build more highways.D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.50.

41、D. unclear CSAN FRANCISCO Rising sea levels from climate change could wash away some of Californias most iconic beaches by the end of the century, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in property, according to a new study. “If beaches disappear, shrink and erode（受到侵蝕）, we are going to hav

42、e less tourism,” said Phillip King, an associate professor of economics at San Francisco State University. “We took the best available science, and its possible the (estimated) costs are still too low.”Economists at the university spent two years projecting economic losses from climate change at San

43、 Franciscos Ocean Beach and the communities of Carpinteria, Malibu, Venice and Torrey Pines State Reserve near San Diego. Based on forecasts calling for sea levels to rise between 1 and 2 meters by the year 2100, the researchers invented models predicting which properties, infrastructure (基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)

44、, wildlife habitats and open spaces will be flooded or eroded, and the value of those losses. They also surveyed existing reports to determine how costly it would be to protect or replace those coastal resources. Venice Beach stands to be the hardest hit of the five shorelines studied, wit

45、h a 2-meter rise in sea level over the next 90 years resulting in $96 million in losses, according to the report. A 1-meter increase over the same period would cause $31.6 million in losses there. A more comprehensive 2009 study by the Pacific Institute, an environmental think tank, concluded t

46、hat nearly 500,000 people and $100 billion worth of property along Californias entire coast were at risk of severe flooding from rising sea levels this century unless new safeguards were put in place. The San Francisco State University researchers said their findings could guide policymakers wh

47、en they consider future shorefront development. (Reuters) 51. What will a 1-meter rise in sea level over the next 90 years result in? A. 1/2 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Ocean Beach.B. 1/2 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Malibu Beach.C. 1/3 as

48、 much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Californias Beach.D. 1/3 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Venice Beach.52. What does the underlined word “shrink” in Para. 2 mean?A. become smaller B. lose itselfC. wear away D. get destroyed 53. What can we learn from the pass

49、age?A. People and property along Californias entire coast are to be severely flooded this century.B. Venice Beach will remain standing there in spite of the rising sea level in the future. C. The article mainly tells us that the rising seas could wash out California beaches. D. The rise of sea level

50、s can be completely controlled and wont affect tourism.54. Whats the tone of the writer?A. Optimistic B. Matter-of-fact C. Doubtful D. PessimisticDI was puzzled! Why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse which was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper, e

51、ven to a national, protesting about a projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasnt as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was curious. The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take p

52、lace shortly, and I wanted to know what it was that motivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods. “Ive always loved this place,” she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all us

53、ed it. They called it Lovers lane. Its not much of a lane, and it doesnt go anywhere important, but thats why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves. ” she added. It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels watched from the branches, qu

54、ite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the

55、community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old womans strange ideas. “Take this tree,” she said pausing after a short w

56、hile. “To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here.” She gently touched the bark, “Look here, under this branch, what can you see?” “It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife.” I said after a cursory inspection. “Yes, thats what it is!” she said softly. She went on, “He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones from a horse's hoof, and I helped him to carve them. We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the a
