Everybody knows that the nicest men become monst

26、ers behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the s

27、ituation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers“ campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. O

28、n the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgemen

29、ts of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to followin

30、g traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of on-coming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always am

31、azes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortuna

32、tely, modern motorists cant even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.（分数：10.00）(1).

38、ize himself with contemporary artistic developments, on returning to the United States, Weber worked in the new styles he had discovered in Paris and soon became recognized as a pioneer of American abstract painting. An example of his work at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. is a 1915

39、 painting entitled “Rush Hour, New York. “ Using abstract, geometrical forms, Weber has expressed the movement, noise, and vibrancy of the great metropolis. The picture blends elements of two European styles: cub- ism, which shows subjects from a number of different angles of vision at the same time

40、 and futurism, which portrays speed and objects in motion. Forceful lines and spiky forms throughout the composition convey the energy and vitality of the city, Weber expresses the citys diversity by juxtaposing forms with rounded and angular shapes to suggest specific elements of the urban landsca

41、pe: skyscrapers, flashing lights, and hurrying people.（分数：6.00）(1).“Rush Hour, New York“ was completed in the_.A. early nineteenth century B. late nineteenth centuryC. early twentieth century D. late twentieth century（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).The mood of the painting “Rush Hour, New York“ can be best des

An Innovative American Artist（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Public officials and candidates for public office routinely use public opinion polls to keep track of what the people

45、are thinking. An important question is the degree to which these polls should guide leaders in their actions. There are arguments for and against the use of polls as the basis for policy decisions.Polls can contribute to effective government by keeping political leaders from getting too far out of l

46、ine with the publics thinking. In a democratic society, the effectiveness of a public policy often dep. ends on the extent of its public support. When a policy is contrary to the publics desires, people may choose to disregard or undermine it, thus making it counterproductive or inefficient. Further

47、 when government pursues a course of action with which a large proportion of the public disagrees, it risks a loss of public confidence, which can have a negative effect on its ability to lead. The Reagan administration, flying high from 1981 to 1985 ,was brought low in 1986 by public reaction to n

48、ews of its secret sales of weapons to Iran. The administration had not paid sufficient attention to polls that revealed the deep antagonism American still felt toward Iran be cause the Ayatollah Khomeinis regime has held sixty-three American hostages in 1979 - 1981.However, leaders can also do a dis

49、service to the public they represent by using poll results as a substitute for policy judgment. “Effective government“, as Walter Lippmann wrote, “cannot be conducted by legislators and officials who, when a question is presented, ask themselves first and last not what is the truth and which is the right and necessary course, but what does the Gallup Poll say?“ During his presidential term, Jimmy Carter proposed five consecutive inflation-fighting programs, changing his plans with each shift in public s
