阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  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-inj ury 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 flustered 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 Fi rebird 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。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.”

  That accident cost the driver of the Firehird 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.

Once again, rumors are spreading.Judgement Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012.The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, "2012".

How will the world end? And how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A meteoroid from outer space; a solar storm; a shift in the earth's poles; bla bla bla.They all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st, 2012.Unfortunately, none of it is true.

Zhu Jin, director of Beijing Planetarium, said, "For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from now.And for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factors.However, we don't have the ability to foresee such events so far.So when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date, it must be fake."

But the truth hasn't stopped people from believing.In the sci-fi movie "2012", the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar.The film earned nearly 770 million US dollars worldwide. Ning Hong, Hebei Province, said."The movie 2012 did get one thing right.There are arks  eing made in China, But they're not being built secretly inside the mountains.They are constructed here in

the courtyard of a factory."

In April, Liu Qiyuan quit his furniture business and devoted himself to developing these huge round balls.He doesn't believe the end is near, but he wants to be prepared just in case.

Liu Qiyuan, the "Ark" builder, said, "The concept originated twenty years ago.The Tangshan earthquake had flattened our house, so I wanted to build a shelter that wouldn't fall.Then in 2004, I saw the tsunami in Indonesia that killed so many people.Then I realized it should be something that could withstand the earthquake and float on water."

Liu is hoping to use his invention as a life boat on the sea.He's planning to test his product on the water next year.

It turns out that rumour, though false, is good for business.Doomsday discounts and products are hot on many online stores.While it's surely attracted attention, many complain that it misleads consumers.

Their purpose is to promote products.If they believe the world is going to end.who would buy things? Money would be useless, too.

41.The purpose of the movie "2012" was                 .

       A.to popularize scientific knowledge for the viewers

       B.to make a profit from the viewers

       C. to tell the viewers an interesting factual story

       D.to warn the viewers of a disastrous event

42.The word "fake" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to        

       A.a joke             B.a lie               C.untrue             D.terrifying

43.Liu Qiyuan quit his job and built his "ark" because _________.
