americas socially accepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic（流行病）. every hour of every day about three americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. a drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the american manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. after new jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 1820-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. a bar in massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.as the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which president hoover called the “noble experiment”. they forgot that legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. as with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.57. what can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in new jersey?a. young drivers were usually bad.b. the legal drinking age should be raised.c. some drivers didnt surprise the legal drinking age.d. drivers should not be allowed to drink.58. the underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means .a. mercifulb. cruelc. seriousd. determined59. as regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because .a. judges are no longer lenientb. new laws are introduced in some statesc. drivers do not appreciate their manly imaged. the problem has attracted public attention60. which of the following statements best shows the writers opinion of drunken driving?a. it is difficult to solve this problem.b. it may lead to organized crime.c. the new laws can stop heavy drinkingd. there should be no bars to serve drinks.参考答案 5760. bada阅读理解-ato complete a study, a team of scientists left boston and went halfway around the world to the middle of kenyathey wanted to find out more about barefoot runningsure, people can run barefoot anywherebut kenya has produced some of the most famous long-distance runners in history, and many of these athletes grew up not wearing shoesscientist daniel lieberman visited some of these runners to figure out what a difference shoes makeit was a big difference, and not necessarily for the betterin particular, when a bare foot hits the ground, the blow（冲击） is softer and the running motion is smootherrunning barefoot may have advantages over running with shoes on, though more studies are needed to determine whether or not barefoot running reduces the chance of injuresone shouldnt be scared of barefoot running or think it strange, lieberman told science news its normal and, if done properly, it is very fun and comfortableprevious studies have shown that when a person runs barefoot, he lands on the fronts or middles of the feetthen the heels（脚后跟） go downduring this process, the weight of the body is at first on the fronts of the feet, then moves to the heelswhen a person wears shoes, however, he tends to run so that his heels hit the ground firstthe effect of the heel hitting the ground many he much more forceful than the effect of the front of the foot hitting the groundthe researches also studied barefoot runners in their laboratorythe goal was to measure the force with which a runners foot hits the grounda rear-foot （后足） strike is like someone hitting you on the foot with a hammer with about one and a half to three times your body weightit would hurt without a shoelieberman saida forefoot strike is like having no one hit you at allthe study explores the physics of running, which is a complex topicthe idea that barefoot running is better is a massive assumptionreed ferber, a biochemist at the university of calgary in canada saidbasically, there are no studies out there that show barefoot running is less injurious41lieberman s attitude towards barefoot running is _asupportive bnegative cneutral dunclear42according to the studies, if you run barefoot, you _ahave your heels hit the ground first bset the fronts of the feet on the ground firstcload more body weight on your feet drun faster than you run with shoes on43it can be learned from the sixth paragraph that _athe physics of running is really complicatedbrunning can be different in stylescdifferent running styles have different advantagesdrunning ability is

reduces the possibility of injuresddont throw out the fancy running shoes just yetbin a research on the effect of the transport sector（运输领域）on climate, it proves that road traffic contributes the most to global warmingthe aviation （航天） sector has the second largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the earth s climatethe study concludes that since pre-industrial times, 15% of co2 emissions （排放量） made by humans have come from the transport sectorthe study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sectorlooking only at co2 emissions, road traffic alone has led to two-thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissionsthe reason why road transport tops the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissionsthe researchers said that the road emissions of today will make up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred yearsfollowing road transport, aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming. however, the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissionsin fact, over the next 100 years, today s road emissions will have a climate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today s aviation emissionsfor shipping, the picture is more complicateduntil now, shipping has had a cooling effect on climatethis is because shipping produces a large amount of so2, which has a cooling effecthowever, although the gas, until now, has given the shipping industry a cooling effect, this effect will disappear after a while, as the gas doesnt last long in the atmospherethe long-lived co2, will dominate （占优势）, giving shipping a warming effect in the long runin general, the transport sector s contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future45what can we learn about road traffic?ait has the second largest warming effect on climatebit produces 15% of all co2 into the air every yearcit created more co2 emissions than aviation in historydits co2 emissions will probably increase in future46shipping has a cooling effect because _ashipping conditions have been improvedbthe amount of ships at sea is smallcit produces a gas which has a cooling effectdthe gas it produces can absorb

fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amountthat is according to a study published this monday in the public library of science medicine journalafter tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the united kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, kay-tee khaw of the university of cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didnt“weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, ”said susan jebb, head of nutrition and health at britains medical research council“the benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from”study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intakepublic health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changesbut because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years“we cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said drtim armstrong, a physical activity expert at the world h
