    第三部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)
    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。
    Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
    Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
    I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
    By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship，but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
    A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
    56. In the writer’s opinion, her friend ________.
    A. was a girl with no self-respect
    B. could find a better boyfriend
    C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice
    D. didn’t value the writer’s suggestion
    57. What did the writer worry about?
    A. She would lose the friendship with her.
    B. Her friend’s parents would be worried about their daughter.
    C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.
    D. Her friend’s boyfriend would be in great trouble.
    58. We may leam from Paragraph 3 that the writer ________.
    A. didn’t want to go anywhere else
    B. hated her friend’s hanging with her boyfriend
    C. couldn’t believe that her friend’s choice was acceptable
    D. doubted that she could in any way help her friend
    59. What can be concluded from the passage?
    A. Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.
    B. Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.
    C. Friendship should be everlasting once begun.
    D. Friendship can have magical power in life.

    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．
