28、all ground disaster has risen to 52; more than 70 police and spectators have also been detained in hospital. The match was being recorded by Yorkshire TV when the fire began. When it first broke out, a few tongues of flame could be seen under the wooden seats in the G block of the stand. Some of the
29、 spectators walked away casually from the smoke. Then suddenly the fire spread with terrifying speed, and within minutes the whole stand was in flames. Most of the spectators rushed forwards onto the pits to avoid the blaze. In the panic, several spectators were crushed, and police and other fans ra
30、n back to the stands to help them. The rescuers clothes and hair could be seen bursting into flames in the intense heat. Most of the dead were found piled up at the back of the stand, where they had run to escape from the fire. However, the gates at the back of the stand had been locked before the s
31、tart of the match. This had been done to prevent people from entering without paying. Eyewitnesses spoke of fans being crushed beneath the turnstile in a desperate attempt to escape. Throughout the day, weeping relatives trailed into hospitals and police stations looking for missing members of their
32、 families. The police are faced with the problem of identifying the victims and dental records and jewelry are being collected to help with the task. The alarmingly quick spread of the fare was of serious concern to police and fire-brigade investigators last night. They believe that paper and other
33、rubbish that had accumulated over the years beneath the wooden stands provided ready-made fuel for the fire. Police think that the blaze was started by a dropped cigarette. They also found out that fire extinguishers had been removed from the stands because they had been used in the past by fans as
34、missiles. The tragedy is the worst in football history since 66 fans died when part of stadium collapsed in Scotland in 1971. 46 What might be the title of the passage? （ A） Tragedy in Human History. （ B） Locked Gates and Timber Stand Create Death Trap. （ C） Fire in the Bradford Theatre. （ D） Footba

36、he fire as soon as possible. 48 Some of the dead at the back of the stand would have escaped from the fate if _. （ A） the organizers had not locked the gates at the back of the stand （ B） they had not been in such a panic （ C） they had not thrown paper and rubbish beneath the wooden stands （ D） they
37、 had not dropped cigarettes 49 The loss of the disaster could be reduced if （ A） the rescuers had reacted more quickly （ B） eye-witnesses had all helped the rescue work （ C） the fans in the past had not been so ignorant of the fire precaution rule （ D） the fire-brigade had come earlier 50 Which of t
38、he following is true according to the passage? （ A） The police knew very soon who most of the victims were. （ B） More people died at Bradford than at the stadium in Scotland. （ C） The fire spread so fast probably because of the people s clothes and hair. （ D） There was nothing in the stands to put t
39、he fire out with when it started. 50 Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉 ) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形 ) painted on the roads make drive
40、rs think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes
41、on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where spee
42、d related hazards are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to
43、seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents. 51 The passage mainly d
44、iscusses _. （ A） a new way of highway speed control （ B） a new pattern for painting highways （ C） a new approach to training drivers （ D） a new type of optical illusion 52 On roads painted with chevrons drivers tend to feel that _. （ A） they should avoid speed-related hazards （ B） they are driving i
45、n the wrong lane （ C） they should slow down their speed （ D） they are approaching the speed limit 53 The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _. （ A） can keep drivers awake （ B） can cut road accidents in half （ C） will have a longer effect on drivers （ D） will look
46、 more attractive 54 The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to _. （ A） try out the Japanese method in certain areas （ B） change the road signs across the country （ C） replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons （ D） repeat the Japanese road patterns 55 What does t
47、he author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads? （ A） They are falling out of use in the United States. （ B） They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time. （ C） They are applicable only on broad roads. （ D） They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles. 55
48、When some nineteenth-century New Yorkers said “Harlem“, they meant almost all of Manhattan above Eighty-sixth Street. Toward the end of the century, however, a group of citizens in upper Manhattanwanting, perhaps, to shape a closer and more precise sense of community designated a section that they w
49、ished to be known as Harlem. The chosen area was the Harlem to which Blacks were moving in the first decades of the new century as they left their old settlements on the middle and lower blocks of the West Side. As the community became predominantly Black, the very word “Harlem“ seemed to lose its old meaning. At times, it was easy to forget that “Harlem“
