hope第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。aone night recently, i was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. a car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. as we passed each other, i caught the other drivers eye for only a second. i wondered whether he might be thinking, as i was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. i was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.multiplied a million times over, i believe that is the way the world works. at some level, we all depend upon one another. sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. and sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.as technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. in 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the sars virus, which saved thousands of lives. the threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world. we must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control. in my own life, ive put great stock in personal responsibility. but, as the years have passed, ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.56. what are the first two paragraphs mainly about?a. careless driving may cause deaths.b. car drivers should share trust with one another.c. car drivers should never say hello to one another.d. having cell phone conversations while driving should be avoided.57. what makes it possible for nations to become more cooperative? a. friendship has been built up among nations. b. sars and terrorism cause trouble worldwide. c. no nation has the idea of controlling the world. d. technology makes our world connected more closely.58. the underlined phrase “put great stock in” in the last paragraph probably means_. a. believe in b. given up c. worried about d. thought over 59. which of the following is best stressed in the text? a. the danger of driving alone on a dark road. b. the greetings between friends and strangers. c. the importance of shared trust and cooperation. d. the fight against the sars virus and international terriorism.60. according to the text, how does the author express his ideas? a. by giving comments on certain facts. b. by explaining the ideas of some drivers. c. by discussing with friends and strangers. d. by using his experience and other examples.beducation and trainingmake sure your skills are up-to-dateif you are looking for a new job or you want to change your career, having up-to-date skills is the key to a successful job search and your future earning power.choose the right trainingif you need training to learn new skills or enhance（提高） existing skills, make sure you get to know the following :what training program is the best for you ? how will you pay for your training? you need to consider all these and more when you choose your training.search for training providers massachusetts school information is made available by the massachusetts career information system(cis). this directory includes most of the training providers and colleges in the state. the data for trade schools covers programs, admissions, schedules( 时间表), and costs. descriptions for two-year, four- year, and graduate schools include information about school size, setting, programs, admissions, schedules, and costs. a link to the schools internet home page is provided when available.learn about the entrepreneurial (创业者的)training program the entrepreneurial training program (etp) provides training and technical assistance to individuals(个人) with good business ideas and the desire to start their own businesses.learn about apprenticeship（见习）programs division of apprentice training is a system for teaching highly technical skills through a combination of on-the job training and related classroom instruction. also, it is responsible for promoting, developing and providing services for apprenticeship programs in the state. many apprentice programs are in traditional building trade areas such as carpentry, electrical and ironwork. in addition, apprentice programs are being developed in areas such as information technology, banking and finance, childcare, culinary(烹饪) arts and telecommunications.use online resources link directly to the websites of colleges and universities in the state of massachusetts.

resources.c plants have family values, too, it seems, with new research suggesting they can recognize close relatives in order to work together. susan dudley and amanda file of mcmaster university in ontario, canada, report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin（同类）. plants from the same species grew aggressively(侵略地) together with unrelated neighbours but were less competitive when they shared soil with their siblings (兄弟，姐妹). this north american species, named sea rocket, showed stronger root growth when plants with strangers than when raised with its relatives. in addition to restraining root growth, such plants may also develop different stem lengths in the presence of siblings.this is an example of kin selection, a behavior common in animals in which closely related individuals take a group approach to succeeding in their environment. kin selection also exists in competition, the scientists added, because if family members compete less with each other, the group will do better in general. “everywhere you look, plants are growing right up next to other plants，” dudley said，pointing out that usually it is a case of each plant for itself. “but sometimes those plants are related, and there are benefits to not wasting resources on being competitive.” how the plants determine which of their neighbours are siblings remains a mystery, dudley said. learning and memory appear to be important for kin recognition in animals, which isnt the same with plants, she noted. some researchers speculate(猜测) that plants communicate through their roots, identifying themselves using tiny chemical signatures (特征) specific to each plants family. the new study may be of great use for agriculture, since competition between plants can reduce crop yields. planting more cooperative siblings together instead of strangers could theoretically mean better harvests.66. whats the main idea of the passage? a. plants can be as clever as animals. b. there is competition among plants. c. plants can recognize and communicate with relatives. d. scientists have found a good way to increase crop yields.67. according to the study of susan dudley and amanda file, sea rocket_. a. can grow better than its neighbours b. showed kindness among its siblings c. usually lives with unrelated neighbours d. prefers a more competitive environment68. the underlined word “ restraining” in the second paragraph probably means_. a. helping b. limiting c. stopping d. keeping69. which of the following is true about skin seletion? a. it is first found in plants. b. it enables plants to be more competitive. c. it reduces the competition between neighbours. d. it exists in the plant world as well as in the animal world.70. the result of the study may be good news for _. a. farmers b. scientists c. journals d. studentsdi have a rule of travel: never carry a map. i prefer to ask for directions. foreign visitors are often puzzled in japan because most streets there dont have names. in japan, people tell landmarks in their directions instead of street names. for example, the japanese will say to travelers, “ go straight down to the corner. turn left at the big hotel and pass a fruit market. the post office is across from the bus stop.”in the countryside of the american midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. there are no towns or buildings within miles. instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. in kansas or iowa, for example, people will say, “ go north two miles, turn west, and then go another mile.”people in los angeles, california, have no idea of distance on the map. they measure distance by means of time, not miles. “how far away is the post office?” you ask. “oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” you say, “ yes, but how many miles away is i
