阅读理解（共小题；每小题分，满分分）aalthough in the 17th century in the united states fine art and folk art had similar qualities, a difference between them began to appear as time went on. in the 18th and 19th centuries artists with ambition studied abroad and came back to paint portraits of upper-class families in american society. the less ambitious or less fortunate artists traveled around their own areas and created pictures of countryside society. anyway, artists got trained and those simple creations improved a lot. around 1930, folk art began to take on a new meaning and was considered as an expression of the common people and an expression of a small cultural class. folk art is never the product of art movements, but comes out of craft traditions. this art is based not on measurements or calculations and rarely goes with the standards of realism. it goes straight to the bases of art which the folk artists feel naturally. the period 1930-1960 was the time when folk artists began to receive recognition. they often began their art careers late in life and used art as an outlet for their energy. their materials were cheap and simple, their subjects were different, but their creativity flowed. doing their own things became the norm, and was what made folk art so desirable. although it is hard to define folk art, one thing is certain it touches us in a special way because the artists show us how he or she brought beauty into their everyday life. since folk artists come from all walks of life, each piece of art created is one of a kind, emphasizing color, simplicity of line and brave, simple form. most importantly, it exemplifies (作为的例子) the history of american life.56. what similar qualities did folk art and fine art probably have in the 17th century? a. the artists of both came from the lower class. b. the artists of both focused on family life. c. they were both simple creations. d. they were both gifted creations by trained artists.57. what was folk art around 1930 based on according to the second paragraph? a. the progress of art in that period. b. the standards of realism.c. the feeling of the artists. d. the traditions of the upper class. 58. why did folk art become popular during the period 1930 to 1960? a. because it offered artists the freedom of expression. b. because artists didnt need to spend much on materials. c. because artists could express their dissatisfaction towards society. d. because other kinds of art couldnt express the beauty of life. 59. which of the following statements can not be used to describe the works of folk artists? a. they are easy to understand. b. they are similar to one another. c. they show pictures of real life. d. they help artists let out their energy. 60. what is the purpose of the passage? a. to speak highly of folk art. b. to compare folk art and fine art.c. to explain the development and changes of american art.d. to explain the history and characteristics of folk art.bwe all hate speed cameras, dont we? theyre not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents. they just make money for the government. they trick us, cost us cold hard cash, distract us from driving properly and are plain unfair. well, heres a surprising thing: what if there are facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? its a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at whats happening in france, a country with a historically poor record of road safety. there were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in france, for example, but that had dropped to 8412 by 1995 following the introduction of rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995. in 2005, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004. thats about 817 deaths per million people compared with australias 806. and guess what? in 2005, the number of speed cameras on french roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years. okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in france theres been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. a three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on. travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130 km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. the speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming. theres even an official website listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly. maybe it is because of such transparency（透明）by the government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more french people can enjoy joy of living thanks to speed cameras.61. according to the first paragraph, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to _.a. make money for the governmentb. slow down the trafficc. lower the number of road accidents d. help us drive properly62. from the passage we can learn that _.a. france has a very poor record of road safety nowb. wed better ignore the evidence that speed cameras

this passage?a. compulsory seat belt wearing.b. lowering the blood alcohol limit.c. the placement of more speed cameras.d. eating lunch in a shorter time.64. now in france, you seldom see _.a. people driving at a speed of less than 130 km/hb. people having a long lunch time, getting drunk and rushing back to the officec. drivers obeying the traffic lightsd. police conducting traffic in streets65. the underlined word “concealment” in the last paragraph means “ _”.a. hiding b. openness c. strictness d. harmonycin todays working world, the high school diploma program has become the initial

recycling centers where poisonous materials such as lead and mercury (汞) are removed. “its time to bring them out of the garages, out of the houses, out of the basements,” said jon hinck of the natural resources council of maine. the maine recycling law is the first to bill makers directly for the cost, hinck said. a california law requires buyers to pay a disposal fee when they buy a tv or
