economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. but the car has also brought many problems. it pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. an astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year. drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. in some car-choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold-ups. “connected cars”which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheelcan communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic-management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.some parts of the transformation are already in place. many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. soon, all new cars in europe will have to be able to warn the emergency services if their on-board sensors(传感器)discover a crash. singapore has led the way with using variable tolls(道路通行费)to smooth traffic flows during rush-hours; britain is pioneering “smart motorways”, whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a similar effect. combined, these new inventions could create a much more highlyeffective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways, traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.in the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more pollution. in future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.32. according to paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in _.a. more time on the roadb. a great waste of fuelc. even heavier traffic jams d. increased death and injuries33. what does “a similar effect” in the paragraph 4 refer to?a. reducing traffic jams.b. building smart motorways.c. setting proper speed limits.d. keeping steady traffic flows.34. what is the authors attitude towards connected cars?a. curious.b. doubtful.c. supportive.d. disappointed.35. which of the following can be the best title of the text?a. the future of cars: wireless wheelsb. the future traffic management systemc. the benefits and problems of carsd. the promising future of car production参考答案32-35

become the most popular forms of stories for young children the characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar: princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. the tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. w. h auden said, “the way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.” it is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. so whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want. every child believes in fairies（仙女), dragons, etc. yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based charactersfairytales are told to children when they are young. this is very essential indeed, for if in the beginning of our lives, our minds are touched by the beauty, innocence and the morals in these tales, we will be able to obtain the optimistic side of happeningsin life, sometimes, believing in such mystics can lead to great happinesswell, i dont know about you, but i do believe in fairiesand who knows i may someday meet one because, after all, believing is just the beginning! and as j.m. barries said, “when you

troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. a little smack(打)on his bottom would have done the job, i thought. teenagers also cause discipline (纪律)problems. as a teacher i had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. in fact, she had left home to stay with him. so we decided to put her in the school hostel. she refused. when she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel, she turned round and said, “why dont you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”my palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping the gentle persuasion would work wonders. it did not. later i heard that she had run away from home again. the list goes on and on. could it be that todays parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result?or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older?i beg to disagree. i believe it is the parents duty to discipline the children even at a young age. my children who are now adults will prove the fact that i used the rod when i thought it necessary. later when they went abroad, they related to their british university friends on how they were disciplined.their friends abroad were idled with horror and told my daughter that i could be charged with child abuse. however, my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline. 1. according to the passage, the author would probably _.a. beat the children every dayb. treat the children in a softer wayc. leave the children as they ared. punish the children when necessary2. the underlined word “cajole”( in para. 3 )probably means _.a. persuadeb. scoldc. forgived. punish3. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the naughty boys mother hit him. b. the teachers daughter

best title of this passage? a. spoil kidsb. value disciplinec. respect parents d. protect kids【参考答案】36. dacb 社会生活类阅读理解。during the fall months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in an exercise to help them understand that it is not “where you go” that matters. they hold posters with the names and faces of famous people while their peers (同龄人) and parents shout out with confidence the names of elite (精英) colleges they assume the celebrities attended. the “oohs” and “aahs” follow when they learn that steven spielberg, steve jobs and bill gates dropped out of college, that oprah winfrey is a graduate of tennessee state and that ken burns graduated from hampshire college. if even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.even better is giving the students a task to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college” as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.the key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. a long-term study of 6,335 college graduates published by the national bureau of economic research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher sat scores - one marker of elite colleges - didnt pay off in higher post-graduation income. researchers found that students who applied to several elite schools but didnt attend them - either because of rejection or by their own choice - are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools. in a summary of the findings, the bureau says that “evidently, students motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their future success than average academic ability of their classmates.” the late author loren pope, who wro
