Th eiyeretorelow drivers down and lower the road accide nts; they just make money

25、for the gover nment. They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from drivi ng properly and are un fair.

26、 Sappening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety. There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995. Last y

27、ear, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than 2004. Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, that about 817 per million people compared with Australia s 806. And guess what? Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the gover

28、 nment pla ns to double that with in the next three years. Okay, you know the argume nts regard ing in creased traffic safety and cameras-for- in come, but it seems in France there s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, win e-soaked lunch with a quick rush

29、back to the office is no Ion ger on. Travelli ng on the highways, it is rare to see anyone break ing the 130km/h speed limit whe n once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly sig ned so drivers know whe n they are coming. There s even an official web site listing fixed and mobamera loc

30、ations and it is updated regularly. Maybe it is because of such tran spare ncy by gover nment, rather tha n the con cealme nt too ofte n used by authorities in many other coun tries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras. 56. From the passage we can lear n that _. A. Fran

31、ce has a very poor record of road safety B. we d better ignore the evidenee that speed cameras save lives C. France had less road deaths tha n Australia in 2005 D.

33、 C. drivers drive according to the traffic lights D. police con duct traffic in streets 59. What does the underlined word “ concealment ” in the last paragraph mean? A. Secrecy. B. Openn ess C. Strict ness D. Harmony B It was about midday. I d left work early in the morning to cash a check. I walked

34、 along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers there, a pretty unusual .鑼点亮心灯/() 照亮人生 .鑼 number for those central banks. I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. He had a really 精诚凝聚 =A_A=成就梦想 strange expression on his fa

35、ce just sort of a blank( 茫然的 ) stare. I thought he was looking at me until I realize he was staring over my shoulder. I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on th

36、e floor. Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol. Whether or not they said anything I can rtemember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their

37、 hands up I don t know. I put my hands up but I just didn do. For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing. I remember wondering who was on the other end of the line. Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise

38、deathly quiet. Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing a

39、t them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on. They jumped back over the counter. One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. The other two swore at him again. Then they left through the door, warning us, “ Donmtove. Stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.

40、 ” Then they just disappeared and there was total silence. 60. What does the writer mean by saying “a pretty unusual number for those central banks the first paragraph? A. More customers than usual were staying in the bank. B. Less bank clerks than expected were working in the bank. C. There were us

41、ually more than a dozen customers in the bank. D. More banks should be open to serve customers in the city center. 61. The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because _ A. he was feeling upset at that moment B. he felt puzzled and sensed something terrible C. he was required to k

42、eep silent at work D. he was threatened with a gun by robbers 62. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.

43、wered the telephone because all the clerks were busy with work. D. The bank workers were forced to fi ll the robbers bags with cash. .鑼点亮心灯/()照亮人生 .鑼 63. What s the best title of this passage? A. A Street Gang B. A Strange Bank C. A Bank Robbery D. A Horrible Adventure C One night recently, I was dr

44、iving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from 精诚凝聚 =A_A=成就梦想 the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each o

45、ther at that moment. . I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way. Multiplied a million times over, I belie

46、ve that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers. As technology shrinks

47、 our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus ， which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action b

48、y police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates ( 命运 ) are not ours alone to control. In my own life, I ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as the years have passed, I ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good

49、faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust. 64. The author considers _ very important. A. driving alone on a dark road B. independence of peopl

50、e C. cooperation to identify SARS virus D. shared trust and cooperation 65. The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because _ . A .the approaching car was very dangerous B. they both drove their car at a terrific speed C. he might be killed out of the other s careless drivin

51、g D. it was dark and the road was not wide enough 66. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from _ . A. only one experience B. many similar experiences C. a driver on a dark road D. many friends and strangers 67. The need for cooperation increases because _ . A. peo

52、ple s fates can t be controlled by themselves B. the SARS virus spread quickly .鑼点亮心灯/() 照亮人生 .鑼 C. terrorism can happen everywhere D. the world has become smaller D Tattoos （纹身 ） have been used both to indicate high rank and to brand society 被 s o 抛弃者 ） . But perhaps most of all, the permanent desi

53、gns created by tattoos have been used simply to decorate the human body. Tattoos are designs made on the body by cutting or picking the skin and inserting （ 嵌入 ） pigment, or coloring, into the scratch （ 划痕 ） . Because the color is under the skin, a tattoo is usually permanent. Devices used to prick

54、the skin have included sharpened bones, thorns, knives, and needles. Some Eskimo and Siberian peoples used a 精诚凝聚 =A_A=成就梦想 needle to draw a color-coated thread under the skin. A technique similar to tattooing is cicatrisation, in which the skin is cut to create permanent scars. Modern electric need

55、les have refined the tattooing process. Tattoos have been found on Egyptian mummies dating back to about 2000 BC. They were worn by ancient Greeks, and Britons, by the Japanese, and by tribal peoples in America, New Zealand, and many pacific islands. Their purposes varied. Many people thought tattoo

56、ed designs were magical protection against misfortune, as do some present-day Arabs who tattoo themselves to ward off evil. Sometimes tattooing was a mark of courage or gave the illusion of courage. The Maoris of New Zealand tattooed elaborate designs on their faces to disguise （ 掩 饰 ） expressions o

57、f fear. Early Japanese wore tattoos to show their rank in society. Tattoos were used in the 19th century to brand criminals and in the 20th century to label inmates of Nazi concentration camps. Tattooing has always been remarkable in a decorative, cosmetic capacity. Centuries ago Japanese men who ba

58、red their chests in their work, such as carpenters, decorated themselves with tattoos. Tattoos were popular among American and European sailors. Though the use of tattoos has declined, it gained publicity in the 1980s as a permanent eyeliner for women. Physicians warned, however, that this could hav

59、e unwanted side effects. Tattooing has been linked with cancer, and contaminated tattooing equipment can spread diseases, including AIDS. 68. From the passage we learn that _. A. all tattoos were not worn for the same purpose B. tattoos are designed patterns made on the surface of the skin C. ancien
