    第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

    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。

    When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students' Union than working in the library.

            Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question, we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.

            "It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a coin into the examination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, so I'll just toss the coin. That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."

            The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.

            The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor .

            "Oh, good," he said. "Have you got the result of the test? What mark did I get?"

            The professor looked at him and smiled.

            "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute."

            Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.

            "I'm terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "you failed."

    1. Fred Baines _______.

    A. spent quite some time working in the Students' Union

    B. worked hard at his lessons but he failed again and again

    C. often failed his tests

    D. wouldn't work hard so long as he could pass a test

    2 Fred looked perfectly calm before the chemistry test because _______.

            A. he was already well prepared for it

            B. he didn't think the test was so important for him

            C. someone had promised to help him out

            D. he believed he had found out a way to pass the test without any difficulty

    3. The professor told Baines the result of the test by tossing a coin because _______.

            A. he hadn't marked all the papers yet

    B. he couldn't remember the mark Baines got

            C. he wouldn't hurt Baines' feeling by telling him the truth

            D. he wanted to teach Baines a lesson

    第四节 阅读理解（共20小题。每小题2分，满分40分）

    It is well-known that fatigue driving(疲劳驾驶)is very dangerous．A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months．   

        The device is a kind of system, which is called Driver Alert，and it aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20％—40％that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30％ of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue．

        Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots，gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．

        Driver’s response time is directly related to tiredness．Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．   

        In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible．

        The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the makers will bring the product to market within about a year．

    1．According to the text，Driver Alert ________

      A．aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents   B．has been on sale for12 months

    C．has gone through testing at laboratories      D．aims to prevent drivers from sleeping

    2．How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?

        A．By sounding a warning．           B．By checking the driving time．

    C．By touching the wrist band．      D．By pressing the steering wheel．

    3．We Can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ________.

        A．about 400 milliseconds              B．over 4 seconds   

        C．below 500 milliseconds              D．about 4 minutes

    4．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

       A．The device is expected to be marketed in about one year．

       B．The device will go through the tests soon．

       C．The tests have been scheduled for six months．

       D．All the drivers will soon use the Driver Alert．
