on all sorts of stuff provided they re over sixty five Everywhere we look there are age limits that define what people can and can t do But creativity has no boundaries no limitations Anyone can invent And they do Inventors are popping up at the youngest ages Sitting in the car waiting for her mom to return from shopping Becky decided she might as well try to finish her math homework But it was growing dark and getting hard to see the paper I didn t have a flashlight and I didn t want to open the car door because then the whole car would light up recalled Becky So I thought it would be neat to have my paper light up somehow and that s when the idea came to me It isn t every day that a ten year old invents a product eagerly sought by several businesses but that s exactly what Becky Schroeder did when she created a tool that enabled people to write in the dark Her invention The Glo sheet That night Becky went home trying to imagine different ways of making her paper glow in the dark She remembered all sorts of glow in the dark toys like balls and Frisbees and wondered how they were made She was determined to find a solution So they very next day Beck s dad took her on an outing to the hardware store They returned with a pail 桶 of phosphorescent paint She took the paint and stacks of paper into the darkest room in the house the bathroom There she experimented I d turn on the light turn it off turn it on said Becky My parents remember me running out the room saying It works it works I m writing in the dark She used an acrylic board and coated it with a specific amount of phosphorescent paint She took a complicated idea and made it work rather simply When the coated clipboard is exposed to light it glows The glowing board then illuminates or lights up the paper that has been placed on top Two years after her initial inspiration in 1974 Becky became the youngest female ever to receive a U S patent She didn t actively market her Glo sheet She didn t need to The New York Times wrote an article about an incredible invention patented by a twelve year old and the inquiries and orders streamed in 21 From Paragraph 1 we can draw a conclusion that A it is illegal for one to drive under sixteen B people enjoy privileges when over sixty five C one is never too old or too young to invent D people hate the limitations that define our behavior 22 What caused Becky to invent Glo sheet A She was trying to do homework when it got dark B She was having trouble with math problems C She was trying to earn some money D She was working on a school project 23 What is the meaning of the underlined words phosphorescent paint in paragraph 5 A paint that acts as a glueB paint that covers a mark C paint that becomes hardD paint that glows in the dark 24 What does it mean that Beck didn t actively market her Glo sheet according to paragraph 8 A She kept the original one for her own use B Other people came to her for the Glo sheet C Becky s father tried to sell the Glo sheet D She gave away patent to the government 25 With which statement would Becky most likely agree A Experience is needed to be a good inventor B Only by inventing things can you know what people need C Always try to sell patent rights to large companies D You never know what you can do unless you try B A recent study published in last week s Journal of the American Medical Association offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver Indeed a 16 year old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone By contrast the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p m and especially after midnight With passengers in the car the driver was even more likely to die in a late night accident Robert Foss a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with really stupid behavior than with just a lack of driving experience The basic issue he says is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled task the driving is Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate 减轻 the problem is to have states institute so called graduated licensing systems in which getting a license is a multistage process A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions before graduating to full driving privileges Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes according to recent studies About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers California is the strictest with a novice 初学者 driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months 26 Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage A Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p m B A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car C Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night D A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight 27 According to Robert Foss the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to A their lack of driving experience B their frequent driving at night C their improper way of driving D their driving with passengers 28 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 3 A Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive B Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn C Restrictions should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons D The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers driving accidents 29 A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers driving accidents is that A driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule B they should be prohibited from taking on passengers C the licensing system should be greatly improved D they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p m 30 The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system A is under discussion B has been put into effect C is about to be set up D has been perfected C Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness Yet dark glasses or not they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours of snow light The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow covered country Rather a man s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren 少植被的 snow covered terrain 地形 So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at Finding nothing hour after hour the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache Nature eases this irritation by producing more fluid which covers the eyeball The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs 模糊 then is obscured 遮 蔽 and the result is total even though temporary snow blindness Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow covered landscape Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus The men following can then see something Their gaze is arrested Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see stop scouring the snow blanketed landscape By focusing their attention on one object at a time the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow blind or lost In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome 31 To prevent headaches watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow dark glasses are A indispensable and essential B usefulC ineffective D available 32 When the eyes are sore tears are produced to A balance the pain B treat snow blindness C clear the vision D loosen the muscles 33 Snow blindness may be avoided by A concentrating on the solid white terrain B searching for something to look at in snow covered terrain C providing the eyes with something to focus on D covering the eyeballs with more fluid 34 The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to A prevent the men behind losing their way B beautify the landscape of the terrain C warm themselves in the severe cold D give the men behind something to see 35 A suitable title for this passage would be A nature s cure for snow blindness B snow blindness and how to overcome it C soldiers marching in the snow D snow vision and its effect on eyesight 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选项 All over the world people
