Nine white cars were arranged within the museum-one on the ground floor, one on the top ramp, and 46 swinging in midair-with flashing lights coming from each car, as if the 47 were exploding. An expert said, “Its 48 we see every day in newspapers: a car bomb, but Cai has turned it into a thing of beauty.”Explosions are a major 49 of Cais works. Another great surprise at the Guggenheim show was the life-sized works.

Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas (地区). Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.There are various kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, golden Delicious, and McIntosh.Apples are different in colour, size, and taste. The colour of the skin may be red, green, or yellow. They have various sizes, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart (酸的). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce .Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metres. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree.56. It can be learned from the text that Delicious apples are _ A. grown in France. B. sold everywhere. C. very big. D. quite sweet.57. Cold winter weather is good for _ A. the growth of apple trees. B. producing large apples. C. improving the taste of apples. D. the increase of water in apples.58. China, France and the United States are considered to _ A. be large producers of apples. B. be large producers of applesauce. C. have the longest history in apple production. D. have the coldest winter among apple producing countries.59. The word “yielded” in the last sentence means _A. improved. B. increased. C. produced. D. sold.BBelieve it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest-curves, exit, slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.60. The passage mainly discusses _.A. a new way of highway speed control B. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training drivers D. a new type of optical illusion61. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that _.A. they should avoid speed-related hazards B. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they should slow down their speed D. they are approaching the speed limit62. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _.A. can keep drivers awake B. will have a longer effect on driversC. can cut road accidents in half D. will look more attractive63. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?_.A. They are falling out of use in the United StatesB. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC. They are applicable only on broad roadsD. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circlesCTHYSSEN ELEVATORS is one of the leading elevators companies in the world with more than 120 branch companies around the globe.
