17、ehension （總題數(shù)：0，分?jǐn)?shù)：0.00）四、 Passage One （ 總題數(shù)： 1，分?jǐn)?shù)： 10.00）In your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone thatyou can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated andenjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest

18、that itisnt the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phonedangerous. It is the yakking itselfor moreprecisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isnt present that makes.David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says Your driving performance while talking on acell

19、 phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a bloodalcohol level of 0.08, which is the legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attentionlevels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations.

20、 In dense traffic, cell phoneusers were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers,and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them.Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information thatnon-cell dr

21、iversaregetting,says Strayer.Looking and seeing are not one and the same. By contrast, the researchers found thatlistening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. When adangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause,Strayer says.Whether

22、talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people areless able to recall the details of a conversation carded on while driving. So it might notbe good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agentwhile either of you is driving. Strayer adds lastly. （分?jǐn)?shù)：

The drivers continuous cell phone talking.VD. The absence of another phone speaker.解析： 解析 第一段第四句“ It is the yakking itself

24、.that makes.。細節(jié)判斷題。文章在第一段第三句和第四句提到了使得開車打電話危險的不是撥電話或是揮動手臂這些動 作， 而是和某個不在跟前的人聊個不停， 即 continuous conversation 。因此答案應(yīng)該是 C。（2）.Which ofthe following does Strayer want to stress most?（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00 ）A. The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.B. The driving performance may be affected by a

25、 high blood alcohol level.C. Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.D.Acell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.V解析： 解析 第一段最后一句“ Your driving performance while talking on a cell phoneis weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blo

26、od alcohol level of0.08.”。邏輯推斷題。 作者在第一段最后一句提到， 打電話會使駕駛技能減弱， 其危險度相當(dāng)于血液中含有 0.08 的 酒精度， 甚至有過之而無不及。 根據(jù)這里的 or worse than ，可以推斷出來， Strayer 想要強調(diào)的是答案 D。（3）_.The experimentshows all the following EXCEPT that _.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00 ）A. the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual informationB. the cell phone d

27、rivers are twice as likely to hit the front carsC. the cell phone drivers response to sudden dangers is slowerD. the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experimentsV解析： 解析 第二段第二、三句“ In dense.says Strayer. ”。 細節(jié)判斷題。從文中第二段第二、三句可知，開車打電話的司機對緊急情況的反應(yīng)速度要慢20%，撞上前方車輛的幾率要大兩倍，獲取的視覺信息要少50%。故選項 A、B、C

28、均正確，用排除法，選擇D。（4）.Strayerdiscourages drivers from talking about business on cellphones while driving because_ . （分?jǐn)?shù)： 2.00 ）A. they tend to forget the details of a conversationVB. both the driver and his agent happen to be drivingC. it might not be good for the drivers memoryD. the other passengers wo

29、uld overhear the conversation解析： 解析 最后一段第一句“ Whether.driving.”。細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句可知，司機很容易遺忘在駕駛時的談話內(nèi)容，即文中l(wèi)ess able torecall the details.，因此 Strayer 提醒人們在開車時討論投資策略不明確。（5）_ .Itcan be inferred that the authors attitude toward cell phone yakking is _ .（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00 ）A. approvingB. disapprovingVC. encouragingD.

30、 indifferent解析： 解析 作者意圖把握題。本文的第一段提到開車打電話比酒后駕車更危險。第二段通過具體的實驗 驗證開車打電話的危險性。最后說開車打電話的內(nèi)容容易被忘掉，因而建議不要在電話里討論投資策略。綜合全文，可以推斷出作者對開車打電話持反對態(tài)度。五、 Passage Two （ 總題數(shù)： 1，分?jǐn)?shù)： 10.00）Its no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-dayinvolvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention
