reached on their proper use in schoolscell phones, supporters say, are useful to both parents and students in addition, cell phones can be lifesavers in an emergency, providing police with important and timely information some teachers also point out that cell phones have academic uses older students can conduct phone interviews during class time administration, for instance also, many cell phones now have internet capability, built in calculators, and memories able to hold entire books for schools with limited technologies available to students, cell phones can be used as computersbut some argue that disadvantages outweigh the benefits the primary concern is that cell phones take students attention away from their study even though most schools require that phones be turned off during school hours, such a rule is difficult to carry out; for instance, students who leave class for a bathroom break could use the phone while out of the room if a phone rings in class, the entire classroom is disrupted and teachers report that 52what is the main reason given by people against students use of cell phones ? acell phones are financial burdens to students bcell phones make noises

writer mean ? aits not easy to keep up with modern technological developments bcell phone technology has improved rapidly in the past few years ccell phones have more functions because of technological advances dit is difficult to prevent improper cell phone use among students54the writer holds the idea that _ astudents should use cell phones properly bstudents should be forbidden to

with no electricity in her self-built roundhouse，at the bottom of a field in rural west waies ，a 15-minute walk from the nearest road.her daily routine includes tending to her vegetable plot and collecting fruit, looking after her three goats, seven chickens and two horses and cutting firewood. she gets her drinking water from a nearby stream and only rarely goes to the shops for treats like rice and chocolate. her evenings are spent in the light of her stove, cooking her dinner and playing music. she then retires to her wool covers at about 7. 30 pm. mrs. orbach said： this is how i want to live. this lifestyle makes me feel really happy and at peace and this is my ideal home. living in the mountains of west wales, she named her home tir ysbrydol, which means ” spirit land in welsh. when her children, who are in their 20s and 30s and live in london, bristol and brighton, visit, they, like all guests at the roundhouse, are banned from bringing technology such as phones or laptops with them,it is all a far cry from the conventional trappings of mrs. orbachs background, her father was a violinist and her mother a librarian. after graduating from oxford with a degree in chinese, she married architectural historian julian orbach. together they founded the brithdir mawr eco-community in the preseli mountains near newport, in pembrokeshire, round a 180-acre farm in 1993. for five years they enjoyed a simple life, then a survey plane chanced the lost tribe(部落）and they were involved into a decade-long battle with the authority.officials were unable to find any records, let alone planning permission , for the mystery hillside village surrounded by trees and bushes and insisted the eight grass-covered buildings should be pulled down.the eco-community suffered a decade of inquiries, court cases and a planning hearing before their fight，backed by more modern support for green issues, finally ended in victory in 2008 when the roundhouses were given planning approval. ,but by then mr. and mrs. orbach had divorced and the community split into three sections, including hers. each community is independent and they co-exist as neighbours in a more traditional style.explaining why she set up her own home just before 2000，mrs. orbach said she felt a very strong pull to live life even more simplyshe is in the process of building a sixth roundhouse there and has permission from the council to build four more. she runs a healing and retreat(隐居)centre on the site and usually has about five people living in the other roundhouses. they pay her a donation, which covers her 63-a-month council tax payments, repair costs and supplies of grain.she said： “ 1 dont miss anything at all about what is normally called reality. the quality of life, in my view, is decreasing and everything is speeding up and becoming more stressful. once or twice i have joked about getting a takeaway pizza delivered here when i am tired after a long day. but i dont think anyone would deliver a pizza across two fields anyway. 55.the underlined sentence implies (in para 4) that orbachs lifestyle_.a.is deeply influenced by her parentsb.is quite different from her backgroundc.is closely associated with her degree d. is strongly supported by her husband56.the officials insisted that the roundhouses be pulled down because they were build_a. on the mysterious hillsideb. without planning permissionc.for commercial purposed. regardless of the record57.mrs. orhach lives in her sell-built roundhouse in order to_.a. avoid her former husbandb. protect the local environmentc.lead a happy and simple lifed. struggle against the authority58.when talking about her present life, emma oirbach is_a. satisfiedb. desperatec. stressedd. regretfulca report, published in last weeks journal of the american medical association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. indeed, a l6-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal (致命) accident as a teenager driving alone. by contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.the author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m., and especially after midnight. with passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.robert foss, a scientist at the university of north carolina highway safety research center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “the basic thing,” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing (发放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is.”both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called graduated licensing systems，in which getting a license is a slower process. a graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving at night with a limited number of passengers before graduating to get a full driving license.graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes，according to recent studies. about half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have number limitation on passengers. california is the strictest, with a new driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.59which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?aa teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.badults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after l0 p.m.cadults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.da teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.60according to robert foss，the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _.atheir lack of driving experiencebtheir frequent driving at nightctheir improper way of drivingdtheir driving with passengers61which of the following statements is true according to paragraph 3?ateenagers should spend more time learning to drive.bdriving is a skill too difficult for teenagers to learn.cteenagers should be limited in taking driving lessons.dpeople issuing license are partly responsible for the accidents.62a suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers driving accidents is that _.adriving in the presence of an adult should be made a rulebthey should be forbidden to take on passengerscthey should not be allowed to drive after l0 p. m.dthe licensing systems should be improvedda shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the worldthe boy walked a long way, and finally came upon a beautiful castle where the wise man livedrather than finding a saintly man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle , saw a
