Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue（疲劳）.Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers response.Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.60. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband.C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel.61. We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is _A. about 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes62. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert _.A. moves more regularly B. stops working properlyC. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudly 63. According to the text, Driver Alert _.A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratoriesC. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 monthsCSpecial trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the USWhen 40 per cent of Hawaiis US$14 million-a-year papaya （木瓜）industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered（转基因的）treesKS*5U.C#O%下Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virusSince then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered treesSome researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better woodOthers are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soilMeanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paperThe Pentagon （五角大楼） even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attackSo far, the poplar, eucalyptus （杨树与桉树）, apple and coffee trees are among those being engineeredAll this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes （基因组）However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous resultsThey are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment“It could be destructive,” said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. “Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species.”But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangersThey hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled64Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?ATrees that worms cant hurtBGenetically engineered treesCTrees that can resist wind betterDTrees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack65What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?ATree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve treesBGreat numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by virusesCResearchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virusDThey think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers66Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?APapayaBPineCAppleDPoplar67Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _Athese trees can destroy the balance of natureBeverything except trees has been genetically engineeredCtrees are home to many endangered speciesDthese trees may affect normal treesDAlone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs. Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.68.Whats the right order of the following events? I heard a horse neighing down in the valley. I went to the jungle. I found an ant carrying a bit o
