27、iving sometimes called Americas socially accepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250 000 over the past decade. A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 bloo
28、d alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, espec
29、ially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers, more than doubled, so the
30、 state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programmes to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes“ about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink. Tough new laws have led
31、to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalising bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated“ and late
32、r drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy. As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment“. They forget that le
33、gal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution. 46 Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because _. （ A） most drunken drivers their cars at top speed （ B） about 25 000
34、 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers （ C） car accidents attract so much publicity （ D） most drivers regard heavy drinking as part of the American macho image 47 Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving? （ A） Because drunken drivers are more conscious of
35、their image. （ B） Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken drivers. （ C） Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available. （ D） Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter. 48 The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that _. （ A） young peop
36、le were often bad drivers （ B） raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragedies （ C） raising the legal drinking age would reduce the number of people killed by drunken drivers （ D） many drunken drivers were not of legal age 49 Laws recently introduced in some sta
37、tes have _. （ A） prevented bars from serving drunken drivers （ B） resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidents （ C） specified the amount drivers can drink （ D） reduced the number of convictions 50 What is the authors attitude toward the solution of drunken driving in the United States? （ A） Pes
38、simistic. （ B） Optimistic. （ C） Casual. （ D） Realistic. 50 Smokers who want to kick the habit might soon get help from a product thats being tested at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine: a mouth wash that makes cigarettes taste bad. It could be on the market within a year. The anti-
39、smoking rinse itself tastes rather pleasant. But if you light up within 6 to 8 hours of smoking it, your cigarette will taste like burnt rubber and you wont smoke past the first puff, explains Dr. Sebastian Ciancio, director of the Center for Dental Studies at the University of Buffalo. Ciancio is h
40、eading up a pilot study in which 10 smokers, each of whom normally smoke at least a pack of cigarettes a day, are rinsing their mouths three times daily with the anti-smoking solution. Another 10 are getting a placebo. Prior to this study, only the inventor had tested the anti-smoking rinse a chemis
41、t who does not wish to be identified and a few of his friends, who say it enabled them to quit smoking. And Ciancio has no shortage of volunteers: The waiting list to participate in the study is already full. “People arc desperate,“ he says. If the pilot study is successful, it will be expanded. Not
42、 only might the patented formulation deter smoking, Ciancio adds, but it also appears to reduce plaque, gingivitis, and halitosis. Manufacturing the rinse, he estimates, would cost approximately the same as conventional mouthwashes. 51 How many smokers are participating in the pilot study now? （ A）
43、10. （ B） 21. （ C） over （ D） 20 52 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） Manufacturing the rinse. （ B） The anti-smoking rinse. （ C） The pilot study. （ D） How to quit smoking. 53 Who invented the anti-smoking rinse? （ A） Metal ions. （ B） A chemist. （ C） A smoker. （ D） Dr. Sebastian Cianeio. 54 What d
44、oes “it“ refer to in the last sentence of the fourth paragraph? （ A） The waiting list to participate in the study. （ B） The pilot study. （ C） The desperate people. （ D） The anti-smoking rinse. 55 We can know from the passage that _. （ A） the anti-smoking rinse might also be effective in reducing bad
45、 breath （ B） the anti-smoking rinse is available in the market now （ C） fewer volunteers would like to participate in the study （ D） the anti-smoking rinse will be very expensive 55 Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs s
46、omething. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants and his objective is to find it and buy it, the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it
47、, and the business of trying it on proceed at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he w
48、ants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else. He offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly, he does so with skill and polish, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but woul
49、d you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned.“ Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.“ Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind
