21、             D. 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 touche

22、d 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 sen

23、se 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 situati

24、on 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 cel

30、                  D. They are not important  C  Most musicians agree that the best violins（小提琴）were made in Cremona Italy,about 200 years ago.

31、60;They even sound better than violins made today.Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments（乐器）like the Italian violins. However, they are not the same. Why are

32、0;these old Italian vilins so special? No one really knows. But many people think they have an answer. Some people think it is the age of the violins. But 

33、there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer. Other people think the

34、 secret to those violins is the wood. It must be from certain kinds of trees. It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremon

35、a knew something special 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

36、 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 th

37、e 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

38、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

39、. 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.
