night recently, i was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. a car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. as we passed each other, i caught the other drivers eye for only a second. i wondered whether he might be thinking, as i was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. i was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.multiplied a million times over, i believe that is the way the world works. at some level, we all depend upon one another. sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. and sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.as technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. in 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the sars virus, which saved thousands of lives. the threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. we must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control. in my own life, ive put great stock in personal responsibility. but, as time has passed, ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.41. the author considers it very important _.a. to drive with a company b. to have personal independence c. to gain certain responsibility d. to share trust and cooperation 42. the author said that they depended on each other in the same way because _.a. the approaching car was very dangerous b. they both drove their car at a terrific speed c. he might be killed out of the others careless driving d. it was dark and the road was not wide enough 43. from the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from _.a. only one experience b. many similar experiencesc. a driver on a dark road d. many friends and strangers 44. the need for cooperation increases because _.a. peoples fates cant be controlled by themselves b. certain viruses can spread in a quick way c. terrorism can happen everywhere and every dayd. the world has become much more dangerous 45. we can infer from the last paragraph that the author has _.a. believed in ones own personal responsibility b. counted upon himself alone in everything c. had no trust in others good faith and judgmentd. had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of lifebas i traveled for several weeks in november, meeting with ceos in different countries, i got to different airports. here is what i learned as i travelled to europe, south america and asia before returning home to chicago.lines form in londons heathrow airporti arrived at the new terminal (航站楼)5 in londons heathrow airport , which is a modern excellent building. it is filled with high street stores and seems more like a shopping mall like the mall of america in minneapolis or the galleria in houstonthan a place to catch planes. at t5 they have perfected the art of making you stand in long, frustrating lines. after you spend twenty minutes in line getting your boarding pass scanned, you move to another long line to have your passport checked. t5 takes the art of waiting to a new level, so much so that even though i had nearly an hour to make a connecting flight（转机）, i missed my connection and spent the next three hours in an airport waiting hall. heathrow views itself as a gateway to the world. but youd better not be in a hurry to pass through it. t5 reflects the old days of british globalization the 1800s when it took at least 80 days to get around the world.nonstop to brazil sao paulos guarulhos international airport, one of three in the city and brazils busiest, has 260 check-in counters, operates around the clock, and struggles to keep up with demand. it has few passengers waiting halls and relatively little shopping. its difficult to connect to the internet. plans call for two additional terminals, a third runway, and an express train into the city. in such a developing country, guarulhos keeps running faster, but it hasnt yet caught up. new delhi smokefirst-time visitors arriving at new delhis indira gandhi international airport would be concerned about the smell that enters the aircraft as the plane is slowing down on the runway. its caused by what delhi weather forecasters call “smoke”. when you enter the terminal, you sense the overcrowded india. it seems like all 1.1 billion people are trying to get through customs with you. heathrow has its queues; gandhi has countless human bodies pressing ahead. be prepared to wait an hour or two before you enter the country.the airport reflects the backwardness of the third world, where just about everything is falling apart. a new terminal is being built, but like everything in india, it will take what seems like forever to complete the job.charles de gaulle international airportcharles de gaulle international airport, as you would suspect, is beautiful. its terminal 2 is an architectural marvel, with high ceilings and lots of light. attractive though it may be, its hard to get around. try finding your way from a gate in section 2a to a gate in section 2f. its all in the same terminal but it feels like you are running a maze, especially when paris is not your final destination.charles de gaulle looks great, but like french high fashion, its not very functional. 46. the underlined word “galleria” in the 2nd paragraph probably refers to the name of _.a. a shopping mall b. high street store c. an airport d. a hotel47 .what does the writer dislike most about londons heathrow airport ?a. its more like a shopping mall than an airport.b. he had to get his passport checked and boarding pass scanned.c. he had to wait in the long and slow lines.d. the flight he intended to take didnt take off on time. 48. from the passage, we can know that _.a. you have to wait long both at heathrow and gandhi because of too many passengers b. guarulhos fails to meet the needs of passengers though it tries its bestc. there should be no trouble in finding your way at charles de gaulled. heathrow lives up to its name of a gateway to the world49. by writing the passage, the writer tried to _.a. point out the weak points of these airportsb. introduce the most important airports in the world c. compare different airports among europe, south america and asiad. tell us airports are mirrors of the countries that build themc“tweenager” is the new term being used in the uk to describe kids at either 812 or 1013 years old.more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers. the disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. you can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. its all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than theyve ever had before.most kids in the uk today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. in addition, the divorce rate in the uk is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. its a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the demands of their children.uk kids today are very media and computer-literate. a lot of kids have a tv, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. they have access to much more information about life and the world. they may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of uk kids live in single-parent families, so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”. therefore, its no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.uk tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. thats changed. now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. many tweenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious.surely none of the above is a good thing. the uk government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from directly marketing their products and services at children.50. why are more products and services created for tweenagers?a. because children education is becoming more important.b. because children have more money to buy them.c. because it is better to study music from an early age.d. because more companies are creating products and services.51. kids today can get more money partly because _.a. parents always accompany their kidsb. parents have more expectation of kidsc. more and more parents divorce nowadaysd. kids know how to make money52. tweenagers have more freedom due to the following facts except that _.a. their parents can not influence them any moreb. they know more information than kids beforec. they become mature at a younger aged. they have a lot of experience in life53. which
