Much of the blood on the street flows essentially fr
19、om uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre(大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a pr
20、inciple both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to others. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can disto
21、rt driversreactions, slow their judgments, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep ones emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to d
22、rivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety sta
23、ndards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has deceased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvem
24、ent in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the roadside.（分数：10.00）(1).What is
25、the authors main purpose in writing the passage?（分数：2.00）A.To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B.To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walker.C.To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solution.D.To warn drivers of the importance of safe drivin
26、g.(2).According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because_.（分数：2.00）A.autos have become most destructive to mankindB.people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC.civilization brings much harm to peopleD.the lack of virtue is becoming more severe(3).Why
27、 does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 2?（分数：2.00）A.To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B.To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C.To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D.To illustrate th
28、e hidden tensions in the course of driving.(4).Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?（分数：2.00）A.Careless bicycle-riders.B.Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.C.Irresponsible drivers.D.Mindless people walking in the street.(5).Which of the following best reflects the
29、 authors attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?（分数：2.00）A.Happy and rather confident.B.Surprised and very pleased.C.Disappointed and deeply worried.D.Doubtful yet still longing for.The often criticized child of the industrial age, advertising, has grown as societies have become
30、more industrialized and, therefore, more commercialized. No modern industry or company can survive without advertising. It is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising were abolished, as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies that advertise w
31、ould suffer a considerable loss. Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment. Television s primary purpose, however, is not to provide an entertainment service, except for government-owned network, it exists in order to promote products for companies. Unless the televis
32、ion industry received income from advertising, watching television would be at least as expensive as going to the movies. Like television, many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products. In some sensitive cases, the stories, pictures, and editorials simply attract people to buy a par
33、ticular publication. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the advertising. Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of the mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyers to choose one product over anothe
34、r. It also informs people of new products what are important in their lives, for example, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or the development of tires that prevent skidding(刹车打滑) on wet pavement. Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; it does
35、help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to relay news from the manufacture to the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of peoples everyday live and a part of every companys budget.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, m
36、odern industry or company can survive _.（分数：2.00）A.if advertising continues to existB.if the link between the customers and manufacturers remains goodC.if “the criticized child“ dies outD.if societies have become more industrialized(2).From the passage, we may figure out that“ vital“ in line 3, para
37、graph 1 means _.（分数：2.00）A.directB.importantC.onlyD.visible(3).According to the passage, the main purpose of television industry is _.（分数：2.00）A.to make money from customersB.to advertise for companiesC.to provide entertainment serviceD.to persuade people to buy new types of television(4).The main f
38、unction of advertising is _.（分数：2.00）A.promoting products for companiesB.informing public of new productsC.influencing buyersD.all of the above(5).Which of the following is NOT true about advertising?（分数：2.00）A.Advertising does not always increase the sales.B.Advertising serves to relay information
39、from buyers to producers.C.Advertising is and will continue to be a necessary part of everyday lives.D.It is suggested that advertising should be abolished.According to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are not survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increas
40、e their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask question if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as possible. Of course, you should also know how the
41、 release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessa
42、ry. In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possib
43、le, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you.
44、When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the experts, when should travelers read and listen to safety instructions?（分数：2.00）A.Before takeoff.B.In an emergency.C.Throughout the flight.D.During

48、ple today pass through the portals (人口) of school and life without any definite idea of career. Perhaps they are too young and inexperienced to think about the life they would face and a career they must choose as a means of livelihood. However, it is inevitable that someday he has to make his choic
49、e by himself. It is important to choose a career for which one has an aptitude. In this case a person can quickly get trained in that particular field or line. This would also save a lot of time and money. Take, for instance, a boy who is mathematically inclined. He should opt for careers like engineering, physics or accountancy. The career in mind should also suit his temperament, abili
