each year, plus a further 50 million injuriesTo reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going fasterTraveling at speed has always been riskyOne advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistantsThey can ensure you dont miss main road signs or fall asleepThe use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesnt distract you at a vital momentMost crashes result from human and not mechanical faultsSome safety developments aim to improve your visionRadar can spot barriers in fog, while other technology “sees through” high-sided vehicles blocking your viewAnd improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and saferThe color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shapeAnd alternatives to petrol, such as plant oils, are a hot area of researchFuel cells based on hydrogen burn cleanly, and are the subject of a serious research effortBut whatever is in the fuel tank, you dont want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many reformations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theftThese communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for helpAccidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more small interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road, such jams can be analyzed using statistical toolsRobotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyones personal driver, but their latest efforts suggest that wont be soon66To reduce car crash rate, many scientists are working hard to_Adesign fully automatic carsBdevelop faster electric vehiclesCanalyze road deaths occurring worldwide each yearDimprove the safety of cars and develop new fuels67According to the second paragraph, most road accidents happen due to _Aheavy traffic Bhuman mistakesCengine failure Dbad weather68Which of the following safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage?AWindscreens that can help drivers to improve their visionBRadars that can help drivers to see barriers in fogCDevices that can help drivers to see through big vehiclesDImprovements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres69Satellite tracking and remote communication systems can be used to_Areduce oil consumptionBremove the barriers on the roadCcall for help when ones car crashesDhelp drivers get out of a traffic jam70Which of the following statements is true of robotic drivers?ARobotic drivers are too expensive to use BRobotic drivers can never replace human driversCRobotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roadsDIt will take some time before robotic drivers are availableDMassive movements of people are likely to occur over the rest of the century because global temperatures are likely to rise by up to 5 because carbon dioxide levels have risen for 50 years, said Stern, who is head of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change“When temperatures rise to that level, we will have abnormal weather patterns and spreading deserts,” he said “Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to leave their homelands because their crops and animals will have diedThe trouble will come when they try to migrate into new lands, howeverThat will bring them into armed conflict with people already living thereNor will it be an occasional occurrenceIt could become a permanent feature of life on Earth ”The news that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached 400 parts per million（ppm） has been seized on by experts because that level brings the world close to the point where it becomes inevitable that it will experience a catastrophic rise in temperaturesScientists have warned for decades of the danger of allowing industrial outputs of carbon dioxide to rise uncheckedInstead, these outputs have acceleratedIn the 1960s, carbon dioxide levels rose at a rate of 07ppm a yearToday, they rise at 21ppm, as more nations become industrialized and increase outputs from their factories and power plantsThe last time the Earths atmosphere had 400ppm carbon dioxide, the Arctic was ice-free and sea levels were 40 metres higherThe prospect of Earth returning to these climatic conditions is causing major alarmThere are likely to be severe physical consequences for the planetRising temperatures will shrink polar ice caps the Arctics is now at its lowest since records began and so reduce the amount of solar heat they reflect back into spaceSimilarly, Alaska, Canada and Russia could release even more greenhouse gases, and further enhance global warming71What is the result of global warming?AIt will prevent the land desertificationBMore greenhouse gases will be releasedCCarbon dioxide has risen to a warning pointDPeople will have to move from their homelands72According to the text, when people move into a new place they will _Aget along well with the local peopleBadapt to the new environment quicklyChave conflict with the people living thereDfeel nervous about the new living conditions73What does the underlined word “inevitable” in paragraph 3 mean?Aimpossible Bcertain Cdifficult Dimportant74From the passage we know that _Athe outputs of carbon dioxide are increasingBrising temperatures will expand polar ice capsCgreenhouse gases slow down the global warmingDthe outputs of carbon dioxide have been prevented75What will the author most probably talk about in the next part of the passage? ATo give a brief introduction of carbon dioxideBTo complain about some environmental problemsCTo summarize the consequences of global warmingDTo tell us how to solve the environmental problems第卷（共 45 分）第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节 阅读表达（共 5 小题；第 76、78、80 每题 3 分，77 题 2 分，79 题 4 分，满分 15分）阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置（请注意问题后面的 词数要求） 。1 In 2004, I graduated with a bachelors degree in creative writing and $24,000 of debt because of student loans（贷款） A few years later I went back to school, this time earning both a masters degree in library science and an additional $25,000 of debt2 Luckily I was quickly hired as a librarian, and
