No matter how small and obscure (模糊的) the street is, 38 will be able to get you there without any 39 .The reason London taxi drivers are so 40 is that they have all gone through a very rough training period known as “the knowledge” to get the special license 41 to drive taxis.

As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot: of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the Use of horses. Modem vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.56. The passage mainly talks about _.A. engines B. safe driving C. using horses D. modern machines57. The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means _.A. repair B. raise C. push forward D. made58. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. a driver must know the rules of safetyB. a driver needs to be able only to tell red from greenC. an eye test is an important part of a drivers examinationD. greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine59. Which of the following is NOT true?A. A driver must be able to see and hear well.B. The driver of a ear must follow the rules of safety.C. Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injury.D. It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engine.BMore than 20,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances supply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court you have been excused from wearing.60. This passage is probably taken from _.A. medical magazine B. a legal documentC. a textbook D. a government information booklet61. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle _.A. reduces road accidents by more than halfB. reduces the death rate in traffic accidentsC. saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hourD. saves more than 16,000 lives each year62. It is the drivers responsibility to _.A. make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltB. make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat beltC. stop children from riding in the front seatD. wear a seat belt each time he drives63. For some people, it may be better to _.A. pay a fine rather than wear a seat beltB. wear a seat belt for health reasonsC. (not to) wear seat belt for health reasonsD. get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat beltCRoad research experts, puzzled by “motorway madness”, are to make an attempt to discover why drivers continue to take deadly risks in mist and fog. Studies of motorway accidents have given us an surprising fact that 98% of drivers ignore all warning of coming danger, particularly fog.After two years of computerized research into driving and crashes, Dr Peter Lewis, a lecturer at Birmingham University Department of Transportation, says: “the positive fright of a crash appears to be the only thing that will make a driver more careful.”His findings agree with those of experts in the Department of the Environment, who have persuaded R. John Gilbert, Minister of Transport, to give the right to the latest of a series of projects to stop the killer resulting from many crashed on motorways.Next month, a 5000-pound American automatic speed-recording machine that photographs vehicle exceeding a set speed will be installed on a stretch of the M4 near Reading. The machine, called Orbis takes a photograph of the vehicle and its number plate, and records its speed, the time and the date. It can record up to 900 vehicles an hour in a 24-hour period.Similar machines are used in Germany and the USA as speed traps, but Dr Gilbert is determined that Orbis will be used only for experiment by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory.Dr Gilbert said last week, “We shall use the machine to identify drivers who drive fast in fog.” The department will then write to them and invited them to complete a questionnaire and perhaps take part in some physical tests. He added, “One of the most interesting aspects of the research so far is that some motorists can see better than others in fog.”It is already known that the driver who can see best is not necessarily the fastest, but a well-sighted driver frequently gathers behind him a group of vehicles whose drivers are madly trying to keep his tail lights in view, despite the advice which states, “Dont hang on to someone elses tail light. It gives a false sense of security.”64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. To make a driver more careful in fog a speed limit has to be set.B. severe punishment and a fine will stop drivers from driving fast in fog.C. To stop traffic accident, more warnings should be given, especially in bad weather.D. In spite of all warnings of coming danger, many drivers keep on driving fast in fog.65. The machine Orbis can do all of the following except _.A. stopping a vehicle from running fast B. recording the time and the dateC. recording a vehicles speed D. identifying drivers who drive fast in fog66. Why do many drivers follow closely the vehicle whose drivers can see better?A. They are poor sighted and cannot see clearly what lies before them.B. They think in this way they can avoid being caught when driving fast.C. They believe by doing so they would feel much safer.D. They think they can avoid a false sense of security.67. According to the passage, the driver who can see better _.A. always drives the fastestB. often has many vehicles following himC. often follows the tail lights of a car beforeD. always gives other drivers a false sense of securityDThe motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀)on the road may be regarded as a social problem .In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep ones emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accidents experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.68. What is the authors main purpose in writing this passage?A. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.B. To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.C. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.D. To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.69. The reason why traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem is that _.A. autos have become most destructive to mankindB. people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC. the lack of virtue is becoming more severeD. civilization brings much harm to people70. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 3?A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C. To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D. To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.71. The following is mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents EXCEPT _.A. careless bicycle-riders B. mindless people walking in the streetC. irresponsible drivers D. irresponsible manufacturer of automobilesERecently I was asked, “Are we anywhere near the day when you can climb into a car on Long Island, program it to take you to your nieces house in Chicago, hit enter, and after the first hundred yards, once you hit a main road, the car takes over automatically and you just sit back and enjoy the ride?”It is a question I worry. But I had to answer truthfully: “Absolutely. We are without a doubt near that day.” Look, were already doing it with airplanes.Northrop Grummans Global Hawk takes off at an air base in the U.S., climbs to 50,000 feet, flies to Australia, and lands at an Australian air base, where there is a grandstand filled with military officialswith no human pilot.The necessary technology is already here. We have radar technology that can be tied to cruise(巡航)control and brakes, which automatically adjusts(调整)your speed based on following distance and preprogrammed settings. Its still a little bit raw, but it does work great. The technology can allow cars and trucks to follow each other in very closely spaced roads.GPS can also change speed with location. Lets say youre in a state with a 75-mph limit and you cross into a state with a 65-mph limit. GPS knows that and adjust your speed accordingly.Its not out of the question to imagine that someday soon youll be able to start the car, make proper settings, then turn the front seats around and play cards and eat lunch as if youre riding on a train. All in perfect comfort and safety, all the way to that nieces place in Chicago.If asked to estimate just how far time is, Id say a working system is ten years out, practice maybe 20 years.72. The purpose of the question asked in the first passage probably is .A. to describe the cars in the future B. to draw readers attention to his theoryC. to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage D. to prove that his idea is right73. Whats the key technology to automatic car driving?A. The technology of airplanes. B. The technology to be developed in the future.C. The technology of radar and GPS. D. The technology of satellites.74. What does the author think of the change in car dri
