    It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
    “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens（警笛）going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”
    But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
    Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination （目的地）. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
    “Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”
    “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license（执照）.”
    That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty － a thousand dollars for the new engine－ not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
    63. The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.
    A. shame B. hate    C. anger  D. fear
    64. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?
    A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
    B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
    C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
    D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.
    65. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.
    B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.
    C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.
    D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.
    66. The driver of the Firebird ______.
    A. took a wrong turn on the way
    B. had some trouble with his car
    C. was stopped by the police officer
    D. paid for the expenses of the accident
    67. What is probably the best title for the article?
    A. Losing His Way?   B. Going My Way?
    C. Fun All the Way?   D. Help on the Way?

    63---67    DCABB  

    63.D 点评：联系上下文，前面和后面一句都说了那个司机开车飞快，突然看见救护车肯定会吓着，因此该选D。
    64.C 点评：细节题。文章倒数第二段说那个违章司机是因为无照驾车而逃避警车追捕，故应选C。
    65.A 点评：细节题。文章第四段说“At that point he found another unit...the accident scene”。表明有人在照顾伤员了，因此该选A。
    66.B 点评：细节题。文章倒数第三段说“I saw fire coming out...Now he had to stop”。说明肇事司机的车有问题了，因此B为正确选项。
    67.B 点评：整体理解题。文章讲一位救护车司机在尽力赶到交通出事地点的同时也在奋力追踪肇事司机，说明非常有正义感，因此B选项很好地说明了这一点。

    Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practising until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practises until he can play quickly, accurately, without thinking. Tennis players call that ”being in the zone.” Educators call it “automaticity”.
    A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.
    It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois Schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary.
    “It’s not I.Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity,” according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity. At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.
    You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud—something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expressions, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.
    13．The first paragraph tells us            .
    A．what automaticity is                    B．how accuracy is acquired
    C．how a child learns to walk               D．how an athlete is trained
    14．The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader’s high speed         .
    A．costs him a lot of work            B．affects his comprehension
    C．leads to his future success         D．doesn’t affect his comprehension
    15．A bright child         .
    A．also needs practice to be an automatic reader
    B．always achieves great success in comprehension tests
    C．becomes an automatic reader after learning how to read
    D．is a born automatic reader
    16．The main idea of the passage is           .
    A．how to score high on comprehension tests
    B．reading is the key to school success
    C．how to test your child’s reading ability
    D．automaticity is important for efficient reading

    If there is no difference in general intelligence(智力)between boys and girls,what can explain girls' poor performance in science and mathematics?
    It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause.Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys,and therefore ,as girls become tee
    nagers,they are less likely to take them.Interestingly,both boys and girls often
    regard the subjects for boys as more difficult.Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses ,not because they are difficult,but for social reasons.Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine(女性的)and attractive.
    However,if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses,there are still more high?achieving boys than there are girls.This difference appears to be world?wide.Biological explanations have been offered for this,but there are other explanations too.
    Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences.From their first days in kindergarten,boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks.Facts show that outstanding(杰出的)mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.
    Besides,there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students.They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls.They spend more time with the boy students ,giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them.They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion.They also praise boys more frequently.All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence(信心)that they are able to succeed.
    Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics
    and science courses,nor is it likely to support girls who do.When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
    1.Girls are likely to think that____________.
    A.science courses are for both boys and girls
    B.science courses make them more popular
    C.science courses make them successful        
    D.science courses are difficult for them          
    2.The text mainly discusses_____________reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements. 
    A.biological         B.historical          C.social       D.personal          
    3.What are boys usually encouraged to do at school?
    A.To get help with their homework.        
    B.To play the leading role in class.        
    C.To work with girl students in class.        
    D.To learn to take care of others.          
    4.What does the passage say about great mathematicians?        
    A.Their teachers did not supply answers to them.        
    B.They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.        
    C.They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
    D.Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.?
    5.The author would probably agree that_____________.
    A.boys and girls learn in the same way        
    B.boys and girls are equal in general intelligence        
    C.girls are more confident in themselves than before        
    D.girls should take fewer science courses than boys

    Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment (环境) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
    However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
    A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green,” that is, friendly to the environment.
    Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
    The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it. ”The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
    64. It becomes clear from the text that the driving force(动力) behind green products is ______
    A. public caring for the environment    B. companies desire for bigger sales
    C. new ways of doing business      D. rapid growth of supermarkets
    65. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. Business and People  B. Business Goes Green
    C. Shopping Habits Are Changing D. Supermarkets and Green Products
    66. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to _____
    A. a selling point    B. the company name
    C. a great demand for health foods       D. the manufacturing of green products

    Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.  
    In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought（干旱）. The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.
    Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals（节日）. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended（延长）daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
    The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.
    小题1:Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _______________.

    小题3: What can we learn about DST in some Australian states?
    A．It doesn’t have fixed dates.B．It is not used in festivals.
    C．Its plan was changed in 2000.D．It lasts for two weeks.
    小题4: What do we know about the use of DST from the last paragraph?
    A．There exist some undesirable effects.B．It helps little to save energy.

    So much to do, so little time．So much information, so little time to read ．In this age there is more information than ever before．There is not enough time to read everything we want to read．However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading．This article will not make you read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly．You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading．
    When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大的)．
    How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．
    The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．
    The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It's hard to read a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understand of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush , start our slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase you speed．
    The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals(间歇)．Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you're reading．
    小题1:Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
    A．Now there is limited information than ever before．
    B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information．
    C．Now people can read what they like．
    D．The less you read, the more time you will spend．
    小题2:What is the subject discussed in the text?
    A．What speed-reading is．
    B．Why we need speed-reading．
    C．Now it is much information time．
    D．People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways．
    小题3:Which of the following shows the right way for the speed-reading from the text?
    a．Ask for some techniques．
    b．Look at many words and recognize them．
    c．Practice more．
    A．c,a,bB．c,b,aC．b,a,cD．a,c,b
    小题4:The underlined sentence“you should be focused”in the fifth paragraph means that _________．
    A．a person should devote his attention to it while reading
    B．your feelings will be hurt while reading
    C．a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads
    D．you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading

    An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when they’re speeding．When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives．The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
    The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS(全球定位系统) to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver’s PDA or programmable mobile phone．The setup of the product does not need to be hooked(钩住) up to a car’s speedometer．In fact, it is entirely portable．It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers．If a driver exceeds（超过） the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
    Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product．He told Live Science  that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what they’re now calling “intelligent speed alert.” Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding．There is also a potentially future use: “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” Paine said．“The system even has the function to record speeding violations(违背), so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
    The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
    41．What’s the purpose of the new product_______.
    A．To inform us of the new car system.     B．To introduce some improvement in cars.
    C．To limit certain drivers to safe driving.   D．To popularize the built-in car system.
    42．Lead-footed drivers refer to the ones        .
    A．who drive too carelessly   B．that drive extremely fast
    C．who are partly disabled     D．that drive too slowly
    43．The second paragraph mainly talks about        .
    A．the project of the built-in product     B．why the system becomes popular
    C．the functions of GPS in cars       D．how the product is programmed
    44．Which of the following is true of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?
    A．Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided. 
    B．Speeding violations can be easily found out.
    C．The system will excite some teenage drivers.
    D．The product will not be available for adults.
