crossing the appearance of roadblocks from a long distance away, so it can easily make drivers take their feet off the accelerator pedal (油门踏板) and continue driving with extra carefulness at a lower speed, which is, in the end, the entire point. according to the city of westminster, the 3d zebra crossing in st. johns wood, londonit can be found where st. johns wood high street meets wellington placeis believed to be the first of its kind in the united kingdom.westminster city council points out that while the 3d zebra crossing in st. johns wood is being tested for a 9- to 12-month period, there is the possibility that it could stay for longer depending on how drivers react to it. if it proves feasible, more 3d zebra crossings could replace boring old flat zebra crossings in small towns and big cities in a growing handful of countries including india, germany and france.“our 3d zebra crossing could be the future of road safety across the country, ”says councilor tim mitchell, a member for environment and city management.“far from being simply an excellent innovation (创新) that makes the ordinary look eye-catching and modern, the 3d effect helps drivers to see the crossing more easily.”however, a spokesperson for britains automobile association (aa) says that using an optical illusion to slow traffic and improve safety along a specific area of road is “worth a try”, but that the approach shouldnt be viewed as possible for all of london because of the citys street design. in other words, just because a 3d zebra crossing might prove successful in a chinese city or a small icelandic town doesnt mean itll be practical in london. aa also strongly suggests careful further management of both driver and pedestrian safety.while the somewhat relaxing appearance of these crossings has proven practical in getting drivers to slow down, they can also attract a large number of people wanting to photograph without any planning in the middle of the street, which is dangerous.46. what do you know about st. johns woods 3d zebra crossing？a. it can slow down the traffic.b. it is actually a kind of roadblock.c. it aims to reduce traffic jams and pollution.d. london is the first city around the world to build it47. what does the underlined word “feasible” mean？a. useless.b. unpractical.c. safe.d. workable.48. according to tim mitchell, he _.a. is interested in 3d technologyb. is hopeful about 3d zebra crossingsc. considers that 3d zebra crossings are a waste of spaced. thinks that 3d zebra crossings can keep the traffic safe49. the spokesperson of aa wants to say that _.a. 3d zebra crossings will not work across londonb. 3d zebra crossings are only useful in developed countriesc. 3d zebra crossings should be put to use around london at onced. 3d zebra crossings need to be improved according to the streets of london50. according to the last paragraph, the 3d zebra crossing _.a. has become a tourist attractionb. can make sure of the safety of pedestriansc. has both advantages and disadvantagesd. can put some careless drivers into dangerdyou are a member in a full-time school called “life”. each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. you may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.why are you here? what is your purpose? humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. what we and our ancestors have to overlook is that there is no one answer. the meaning of life is different for every individual.each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone elses. as you are traveling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to learn in order to achieve that purpose. the lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life.as you are traveling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others dont have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you dont need to deal with. you may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. the only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn.the challenge, therefore, is to arrange yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. this is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be different from others. but dont compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. you need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth.our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality. life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. everyones circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. 51. according to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?a. gathering different opinions from others. b. taking the distinct path from others.c. learning the lessons presented to you. d. doing the different things from others.52. from the passage we can conclude_.a. everyone has his own track to follow b. unexpected things usually happen to the peersc. a painful divorce must lie in financial problems d. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage53. in your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with _.a. are beyond your power b. keep you from growth c. limit your development d. help you with your success54. which of the following is true? a. all things should be equal and justice to everybody. b. you should learn to deal with specific problems differently from others. c. one has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances. d. you can complain life is unfair whenever possible.55. life is called a fulltime school, because_.a. it is full of all lessons to learn b. you have plenty of time to learn lessonsc. you meet with specific lessons every day d. you can learn many things helpful to you第ii卷 非选择题第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。the world
