AlessandroBIn January 2004, a 20-year-old woman ran a red light while talking on a cell phone. Her car knocked into another car crossing with the green light directly in front of her. The police found the driver never touched her brakes(刹车) and was traveling 48 mph when she hit the other car. The police were told that the driver was not looking down, pressing buttons. She was looking straight out of the windshield (挡风玻璃) talking on her cell phone as she passed four cars and a school bus.Vision is the most important sense for safe driving. Yet, drivers using cell phones are likely to “look at” but not “see” objects. It is said that drivers using cell phones look but fail to see up to 50 percent of the information while driving. Drivers are looking out of the windshield, but they do not really deal with the situation on the road.Although the public appear to be turning against cell phone use while driving, many admit they regularly talk or text while driving. The police say that nine percent of the drivers at any given time are using cell phones, and about one in four car accidents are directly related to cell phone use.Using cell phones while driving has become a serious public health threat (威胁) . A few states have passed laws making it unlawful to use a handheld cell phone while driving, but these laws give the false message that using a hand-free phone is safe.24. What was the woman doing when the car accident happened?A. She was busy pressing buttons B. She was talking on her cell phoneC. She was looking at the red light ahead D. She was looking for something in the car25. The word “vision” (paragraph 2) refers to the sense of .A. taste B. touch C. hearing D. sight26. What is the percentage of the car accident caused by drivers using cell phones?A. 9% B. 25% C. 45% D. 50%27. What do we know about the laws making it unlawful to use a handheld cell phone while driving?A. They are not perfect B. They are not necessaryC. They are not practical D. They are not importantC Most musiciansagreethat thebestviolins（小提琴）weremadeinCremonaItaly,about200yearsago.Theyevensoundbetterthanviolinsmadetoday.Violinmakersandscientiststrytomakeinstruments（乐器）liketheItalianviolins.However,theyarenotthesame.WhyaretheseoldItalianvilinssospecial?Noonereallyknows.Butmanypeoplethinktheyhaveananswer.Somepeoplethinkitistheageoftheviolins.Butthereisaproblemhere.Notalloldviolinssoundwonderful.OnlytheoldviolinsfromCremonaarespecial.Soagecannotbetheanswer.Otherpeoplethinkthesecrettothoseviolinsisthewood.Itmustbefromcertainkindsoftrees.Itmustnotbetooyoungortooold.PerhapstheviolinmakersofCremonaknewsomethingspecial about wood for violins. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut into the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians something think that this is the secret of the Italians.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new ones still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish（清漆）.It makes the wood look shiny, but it also helps the sound of the instrument. Since no one know what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one can make the same varnish today. There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the on violins left. So these old violins from Cremona become more and more precious. 28. What would be the best title for the text? A. The Secrets of Cremona Violins. B. The History of Cremona Violins C. The Making of Italian Violins D. The Studies of Italian Violins29. What is still not clear about Cremona violins? A. The shape. B. The wood C. The size. D. The varnish. 30. Which of the following words can best describe Cremona violins? A. Light B. Shining. C. Valuable. D. Modern. DLinda Evans was my best friendlike the sister I never had.
