Script: The private automobile has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems. For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents cant keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends. 正确答案： necessary 正确答案： transportation 正确答案： helpful 正确答案： pleasure 正确答案： distant 正确答案： affected 正确答案： outings 正确答案： keep an eye 正确答案： Mothers of victims 正确答案： encourage the government Part II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes ) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. On an eight-mile stretch of Interstate 15 ten miles north of San Diego, traffic engineers are 21 an MIT-designed system which will introduce the “automated driver.” The plan calls for computers, aided by thousands of three-inch 22 spikes buried in the highway, to take complete control of the driving of cars on heavily trafficked roads. Cars will be 23 into groups of ten to twelve vehicles, only six feet 24 , traveling in unison, and controlled by computer. 25 of this computerized highway have great hopes for its future. By 2010, telematics may well be 26 one of the major highways in the United States. If successful, by 2020, as the price of 27 drops to below a penny a piece, telematics could be adopted in thousands of miles of highways in the United States. This could prove to be an 28 boon as well, saving fuel, reducing 29 , decreasing air pollution, and serving as an 30 to highway expansion.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. You slip the key into the ignition and crank the engine to life. But before you put the car into gear, you tap a key on the keyboard mounted by the steering wheel, and your newest e-mail flashes up on the windscreen. This seductive satyr is what you get when you cross a car and a computer. Dubbed the “network vehicle”, or net-mobile, it may soon come to a driveway near you (probably the one belonging to your rich neighbor). In a net-mobile, a motorist could tap into a regional road system but also to map out a route around rush-hour traffic snags. Drivers and passengers will be able to send and receive e-mail, track the latest sports scores or stock quotes, surf the Web, and even play video games. Or so, at least, say a number of computer-industry firms such as Microsoft, Sun, IBM and Netscape. The modern car is already an electronic showcase on wheels. On-board microcomputers improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. They operate anti-lock brake systems, and on some cars even regulate the firmness of the shock absorbers. But much of the technology needed to add extra is available now. A prototype network vehicle, produced by a consortium of Netscape, Sun, IBM and Delco (an automotive electronics firm based in Michigan), was introduced at the recent annual computer industry show in Las Vegas. It not only offered such desktop-computer-like services as e-mail, but allowed a driver to use them without looking away from the road. It was operated by voice commands and projected its data on to the windscreen, using the same sort of head-up display system found in modern fighter jets. Members of the consortium think a real-world network vehicle could be in production in as little as four years. Car-makers have already begun rolling out some of the features found on these prototype net mobiles. If the driver of a General Motors car equipped with its On-Star system locks his key in the car, for example, an emergency centre can transmit a digital signal to unlock the doors. On-star also calls automatically for help if an accident triggers the airbags. Toyota and General Motors are among a growing list of firms offering such in-car navigation systems. And in Europe, BMW and Mercedes-Benz recently introduced navigation hardware that can not only plot out a route, but alert a driver to traffic jams. 31. The future car can be defined as the machine which _. A) sends and receives e-mails, and surfs the Web B) taps into a regional road system to get directions C) combines car functions and computer functions D) tracks the latest sports scores and stock quotes 正确答案： C 32. “An electronic showcase on wheels” probably means_. A) a computer industry show B) a network car C) a car that exhibits electronic achievements D) a computer that has wheels 正确答案： C 33. Compared with an ordinary modern car, the network vehicle will have an on-board microcomputer which _. A) projects data on the windscreen B) improves fuel economy and reduces emissions C) operates anti-lock brake systems D) regulates the firmness of the shock absorbers 正确答案： A 34. The in-car navigation system has all of the following functions EXCEPT _. A) calling for help if an accident triggers the airbag B) alerting emergency centre if the key is locked in the car C) transmitting a digital signal to unlock the doors D) plotting out route and alert one to traffic jams 正确答案： B 35. The passage is written probably to _. A) promote electronic culture B) advertise for the motor manufacturers C) attract potential motor consumers D) provide information about the net vehicle 正确答案： D Passage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. According to some individuals, if your house is built in the right position, this may affect your success in life, which seems strange to many people. However, to believers in Feng-Shui, or the art of geomancy, not only the position but also the choice of decorations and even the color of your home can mean the difference between good fortune and disaster. This art has been practiced for centuries in China and is still used all over South East Asia. Even the huge Hong Kong banks call in a geomant if they are planning to build new offices. Like many Oriental beliefs the geomants skill depends on the idea of harmony in nature. If there is no imbalance between the opposing forces of Yin and Yang, the building will bring luck to its inhabitants. This means that the house must be built on the right spot as well as facing the right direction, and also be painted an auspicious color. For instance, if there are mountains to the north, this will protect them from evil influences. If the house is painted red, this will bring happiness to the occupants while green symbolizes youth and will bring long life. The geomant believes that unless all these are considered when choosing a site for construction, the fortune of the people using it will be at risk. Indeed, to ignore the geomants advice can have fatal results. The death of the internationally famous Kung-Fu star, Bruce Lee, has been used as an example. It is said that when Lee found out that the house he was living in was an unlucky one, he followed a geomants advice and installed an eight-sided mirror outside his front door to bring him luck. Unfortunately, a storm damaged the mirror and the house was left unprotected from harmful influences. Soon afterwards Lee died in mysterious circumstances. Not only is Feng-Shui still used in South East Asia, but it has also spread right across the world. Even in modern New York a successful commercial artist called Milton Glaser has found it useful. He was so desperate after his office was broken into six times that he consulted a geomant. He was told to install a fish tank with six black fish and fix a red clock to the ceiling. Since then he has not been burglarized once. It may seem an incredible story, but no other suitable explanation has been offered. 36. From the passage we can infer that Feng-Shui is NOT used in _. A) Japan B) New York C) Hong Kong D) China 正确答案： A 37. Geomants believe that _. A) houses must only be painted red B) houses must face mountains C) nature and life should be in harmony D) green is an unlucky color 正确答案： C 38. Geomants think that the reason for Bruce Lees death is that _. A) he didnt follow the geomants advice B) he installed an eight-sided mirror C) he misunderstood the geomants advice D) a storm damaged the protection for his house 正确答案： D 39. The story of Milton Glaser shows that _. A) colors are not important in geomancy B) geomancy is used in the West C) geomancy is used by artists D) the fight against crime is being won 正确答案： B 40.
