an international license from your local automobile association prior to your departure. road speed limits differ between states but are generally 100-110kph on the highways and 50-60kph in built-up areas. interstate highways are not of the same standard as the usa and european highway systems but nor do they carry the same traffic volumes. never leave small children or animals locked in vehicles in very hot weather. dehydration (脱水) occurs very quickly. this practice is illegal. the most serious danger on the road is the feeling of being tired. look for driver refreshment stations and pull off and rest after driving for several hours. be careful when driving on country roads at night in cold weather. cattle and native animals such as kangaroos lie on the bitumen (沥青) road surface which holds the warmth of the sun. car lights blind and mesmerize (催眠) the animals and they may just as easily run into your vehicle as they run away from it. when traveling on remote outback roads, always inform someone at the destination of your expected arrival time and the number of people in your party. if you fail to arrive within a reasonable time, help procedures can be started. do not leave

said would change food production and reduce hunger and poverty for tens of millions of people. modeled on the rockefeller-pioneered “green revolution” that transformed farming methods and eased widespread famine (饥荒) in much of the developing world nearly a half-century ago, the new plan coincides with a new round of western concern about the long-intractable problems of the poorest continent. home to 16 of the 18 least developed countries, africa is the only part of the world where food production has decreased in recent years. at the same time, political disorder and conflict there are seen as providing fertile ground for extremists. widespread famine in africa has encouraged high-profile relief efforts over the years, from united nations programs to superstar fund-raising (募捐) concerts such as live aid in the 1980s and live 8 in 2005. sponsors of the new “alliance for a green revolution” said they were looking for a more systematic, long-term solution to african hunger. the alliance is the first gates venture into poverty and development after years of focusing largely on global health and education. the effort follows a doubling of the foundation and reaches $30 billion contribution, drawn largely from bill gates microsoft corp. fortune, with investment leading figure warren buffett donating an additional $31 billion earlier this year. gates has said he will step down from direct management of microsoft in 2008 to work full-time on foundation activities.60. the main purpose of the “green revolution” was to .a. develop the economy of the sub-saharab. reform food productionc. ease the problem of famined. get the attention of the west61. it can be inferred from paragraph 3 that .a. food production has increased steadily in the world except for africa in recent years b. the entire world began to aid african countries many years agoc. there are eighteen developing countries in total in africad. the widespread starvation in africa has been prevented since many years ago62. at present, the bill and melinda gates foundation has a total amount of money of .a. $30 billion b. $31 billionc. $61 billion d. $91 billion63. from the passage we can learn that bill gates .a. is the founder of the rockefeller foundationb. is a partner in the “alliance for a green revolution”c. will give up his shares in microsoft corp. in 2008d. will have his own charity foundation in the futurethe great extent of the personal publishing revolution has been proved by a poll showing that a third of young people online have started their own blogs or websites. millions of young people who have grown up with the internet and mobile phones are no longer content with the one-way traffic of traditional media and are publishing and collecting their own content, according to a survey of those aged between 14 and 21. a generation has grown up using the internet as their main means of communication, thanks to an early grasp of online communities and messaging services as well as simple technology allowing web users to start a personal blog, without any special technical knowledge. on average, people between 14 and 21 spend almost eight hours a week online, but it is far from a solitary activity. there are signs of a clear generation difference, and instead of using the internet as their parents do as an information source, or to shop and read newspapers online most young people are using it to communicate with one another. about half of that time is spent chatting to friends in online communities or using messaging services, while another half of that time is spent e-mailing. the internet may be a window into their personal space, but it is not a window on the world for young people: only one in ten say they use it to keep up with news and current affairs. but newspaper publishers and news broadcasters will take some comfort from the polls findings. six in ten said they “like to keep up with the news”, the rate rising to more than seven in ten among 20- and 21-year-olds. contrary to the prevailing wisdom that young people are turning to the internet for news, the poll found that television and newspapers remain by far the most popular means of getting information.64. what is the main idea of paragraph 3?a. starting a personal blog doesnt need special knowledge.b. young people spend most of their time surfing online.c. young people and their parents have no difference in using the internet.d. most young people are using their personal blogs to communicate.65. what is the meaning of the underlined part in paragraph 4?a. young people should use the internet to look into their personal world.b. it is wrong of young people to use the internet to learn about the world.c. young people should use the internet to learn about the outside world.d. most of the young people take the internet as a window to look outside.66. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. about 30 percent of all young people online have founded their own blogs or websites.b. young people are not satisfied with the traditional media because they are too slow.c. young people are publishing and collecting their own content on the internet.d. parents of young people use the internet as an information source, or to shop and read.67. we can infer from the last paragraph that _.a. the young still get information mainly through tv and newspapersb. people dont believe that young people are turning to the internet for newsc. the number of young people getting news from the internet is risingd. newspaper publishers and news broadcasters are disappointed at the findings68. what is the best title of the passage?a. young people blog their way to a publishing revolution.b. what are teenagers doing on the internet?c. young people spend most of their time on the internet. d. the personal blog is becoming a fashion.are you a team person? are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of devoted workers? if so, the future may hold more for you than you think. high technology, some said, would make teamwork a thing of the past. thats happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers. but else where, teamwork is very much alive. high technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, and ocean exploration. through computer networking, scientists, engineers, and technicians at different places, often thousands of miles apart, can work on the same project at once. they can exchange ideas, try out different designs, and test their results. examples? an engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. a medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient. of course, computer-assisted team effort doesnt end with investigation and simulation. it now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “computer-aided design and manufacture is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains dr prakash rao, an engineering manager at general electric. “interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. everything is interconnected like a network.” sometimes, a computer-aided effort can extend beyond production. a team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depths. for high technology teamwork, the future seems limitless.69. according to the passage, the author believes that _.a. teams will be completely replaced by computersb. teamwork will be perfect with the development of high-techc. teamwork doesnt require the use of computersd. the concept of teamwork is no longer the same as before70. the underlined part in paragraph 1 most probably means that _.a. you will have a great futureb. your future will be more interestingc. you will gain more wealthd. your future will be more uncertain71. the examples given by the author in paragraph 5 serve _.a. to prove the promising future for teamsb. to support his idea in the above paragraph c. to point out what can be realized through a new type of teamworkd. to show that teamwork is likely to end soon72. the authors attitude towards the introduction of the computer to teamwork is _.a. doubtful b. serious c. supportive d. disagreeablethere are about 1,200 species of bats in the world, swartz says. some eat fruit. others eat insects or nectar (花蜜). and just a few drink blood. some bats use their eyes to see where things are. others collect information about their surroundings by bouncing sound off objects and listening to the echoes. but what all bats have in common (other than being the only flying mammals in existence) are flexible wings that enable them to change directions quickly. if youve ever seen bats darting (猛冲) through the air at dusk, you probably noticed how abruptly they could change directions. scientists have long assumed that bats fly the same way as birds and insects do with rigid, airplane-like wings that hinge at the shoulder. the problem with that assumption, however, is that bats arent birds or insects. as mammals, they have more in common with people, horses, and dogs than with other flying creatures. for example, birds have hollow bones, and insects have no bones at all. but most mammals have solid and heavy bones, which would
