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, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair. well, heres a surprising thing: what if there were 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 dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995. last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004. comparing road deaths to population in 2005, thats about 817 per million people compared with australias 806.and guess what? last year 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 130km/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 web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly. maybe it is because of such transparency（透明） by government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries th舒中高二统考英语 第3页 (共10页)at more french can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras.56generally, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to_ a. slow down the traffic bmake money for the governmentclower the road accidentsdhelp us drive properly57from the passage we can learn that _ .afrance has a very poor record of road safetybwed better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save livescfrance does successfully in controlling road accidents dfrance had less road deaths than australia in 200558which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in france according to this passage? a. compulsory seat belt. b. placing more speed cameras. c. lowering blood alcohol limit. d.eating in a shorter time.59now you can seldom see in france .apeople drive at a speed of less than 130km/hblunch time lasts long hours with drunk

b.secrecy.cstrictness.dharmony.b a man walks into a doctors office. he has a cucumber (黄瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. whats the matter with me? he asks the doctor. the doctor replies, youre not eating properly . this is a popular joke among british schoolchildren. it shows britains famous dry and satirical (讽刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. people say this unique sense of humor is one of britains national characteristics. the british sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. when it comes to making the british laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰当的) joke. it reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life. while most britons dont take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often dont understand them. a recent survey found that most foreigners who visited britain think the british are unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor. are the british just not as funny as they think they are? leo mckinstry, a british journalist, thinks the british are funny. accusing the british of having no sense of humor is like telling rolls-royce (劳斯莱斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality, he says.61. what does the doctor actually mean by the remark “youre not eating properly”? a. what you have had is the cause of these problems. b. you are not having the right food. c. you eat with the wrong cutlery. ( 餐具 ) d. you dont eat the way people usually do. 62. the word dry in paragraph two means _. a. funny and clever while seeming to be seriousb. without water or liquid inside c. special and popular among school children d. dull and meaningless 63. why do most visitors, who once visited britain, think that the british are unfriendly? a. because the british always take things seriously. b. because the british have no sense of humor. c. because the british have a different sense of humor. d. because the british are cold and difficult to get along with. 64. which of the following are not the characteristics of british humor? a. encouraging and gentle b. clever and witty c. dry and satirical d. negative and mocking 65. rolls-royces cars are_. a. cheap and good in quality b. expensive but not good in quality c. cheap but not good in quality d. expensive and good in qualityc animals traveling from one country to another have to follow laws, just as people do. they do not have to have passport(护照)，but they have to obey other rules. most countries have laws about animals coming into their countries. the laws were made to stop the spread of disease疾病）that animals carry. traveling animals include cats and dogs going with their masters on trips. others are rare animals going to zoos. some are birds and fish on their way to pet(宠物)shops. some animals can not go into a country unless their owners can prove(证明)that they have been vaccinated (为接种疫苗) against certain diseases. others must be studied carefully by animal doctors. sometimes animals must spend a month or more in a special place before they can enter a country. the animals are fenced in. there they are kept away from other animals until it is certain that they do not have a disease. only the people who care for the animals can go near. there are many different laws in each country. anyone who wants to take a pet to another country should check with the government first. law are made to protect(保护)both people and animals.66. animals tha舒中高二统考英语 第5页 (共10页)t travel from one country to another_a. must have passports like humans. b. have to follow rules and lawsc. have to travel with their masters d. must be fenced in a special place67. the underlined word “rare” in this passage means “_”.a. strong and beautiful b.expensive but not beautiful c. not often found easily d. not be found everywhere68. why are some animals kept in a special place before entering a country?a. their masters are trying to sell them.b. they must be checked separately to prevent disease from being spread c. they are waiting for the rules to be maded. people dont want them to run about.dgoing, going, gone!the haynes middle school parent teacher organization invites you to attend our latest fund（基金）- raiser.the fourth annual（每年一次的）haynes school auction（拍卖）!saturday, may 106:00 p. m. 11:00 p. m. in the school hall6:00 p. m. 6:30 p. m. : all items for auction are previewed.6:30 p. m. 7:00 p. m. : silent auction begins.7:00 p. m. 7:30 p. m. : highest bidders（出价人）from silent auction are determined.7:30 p. m. 11:00 p. m. : main auction begins.items up for bid in the silent auction range in value from $ 5.00 to $ 30.00.items up for bid in the main auction include the following:airline tickets to a place of your choiceweekend getaways at first class hotelsseason tickets to the chicago bears football game$ 50 gift tickets to local gift shops, restaurants, and salonstheater tickets to the merchant of venicedont miss the boat! book your tickets today.last year, tickets sold out in five days! tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis.$ 15.00 per personall the money from the auction will be given to the haynes school computer lab.69 which of the following is not mentioned as being up for bid at the auction?aa weekend stay at a hotel.ba ticket to a restaurant.cairline tickets.da movie pass to the local cinema.70the more items that are given or bought for auction, .athe less money that will be charged for the tickets to the auctionbthe more money that can be raised to support the computer labcthe faster the ticket will be sold to the auctiondthe higher the value that will be placed on the items in the silent auction71which of the following is most likely to happen at the years auction?athe airline tickets will receive higher bids than any other item. btickets for the event will be sold out in less than one week.call items up for bid will be sold for at least twice their value.dmore money will be raised this year than in any other year before.72. the phrase “first come, first served ” tells you that .a.tickets are sold in the order of who arrives first to buy them bpeople can buy the tickets on the first day onlycthe person who is first to arrive will receive a ticket at no chargedfood and drinks will be served at the auctione how can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment ?
