For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Question 51-55 b
32、ased on the following passage.A recent study, published in last weeks Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as
33、a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for driver between 30 to 59 decreases with each additional passenger.The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver wa
34、s even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior“ than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue,
35、“ he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is.“Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing system, in which getting a licen
36、se is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night or passenger restrictions, before graduating to full driving privileges.Graduated licensing systems have reduced tee
37、nage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest, with a novice driver prohibited from carrying any passengers under 20 (witho
38、ut the presence of an adult over 25) for the first six months.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following situation is most dangerous according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.B.A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.C.Adults driv
39、ing with three or more teenage passengers late at night.D.A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.(2).According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenager drivers is mainly due to _. A. their frequent driving at night B. their improper ways of driving C. their lack
40、of driving experience C. their driving with passengers（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：1.00）A.Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.B.Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.C.Restrictions should be imposed on
41、 teenagers applying to take driving lessons.D.The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers driving accidents.(4).A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers driving accidents is that _.（分数：1.00）A.driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB.they should be proh
42、ibited from taking on passengersC.they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p.m.D.the licensing system should be improved(5).The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system _.（分数：1.00）A.is under discussionB.is about to set upC.has been put into effectD.has
43、 been perfectedQuestion 56-60 based on the following passage.Its no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. Thats especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological par
44、ents. Its also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes because of parents who cant or wont care for them but refuse to give up custody rights.Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been
45、the object of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father shes ever known and that her biological parents have “no legal claim“ on her.The ruling, though it m
46、ay yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. Thats an important development, one thats long overdue.Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberlys bi
47、ological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests showed that the child wasnt the Twiggs own daughter, but Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Ki
48、mberly was being harmed.The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents arent always preferable to adoptive ones, and bio
