23、e sounds strange, but thats exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries. Carmakers research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique fo
24、r a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率 )mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delayin
25、g it by half a wave cycle (周期 ), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems (系统 )both inside and outside Another good thing about the use of noise killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the
26、weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the noise killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers havent decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost
27、 of their cars. 51 Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise killing system works? （ A） By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction. （ B） By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves. （ C） By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending
28、them out together. （ D） By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later. 52 Besides its main use the noise killing system can （ A） make a car lighter （ B） make a car quieter （ C） reduce the cost of a silencer （ D） improve the performance of a silencer 53 The noise ki
29、lling system is not yet popular mainly because （ A） it is still being tried out （ B） drivers still have their doubts （ C） it increases the cost of car production （ D） carmakers are not sure if it is necessary 54 “How far is it to the next village?“ the American asks a man sitting by the side of the
30、road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地 ) ,he will politely say “Just down the road.“ He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and
31、 more angry, feeling“ tricked“. He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well. Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was “cheating“ the driver if he had said the next town was dose when he knew it was really 15 miles furt
32、her on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic(同情的 )to the weary driver, he would say “You have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 miles. “The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect. Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of differe
33、nt cultures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem. 54 The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because （ A） he is playing a trick on him （ B） the American expects the answer （ C） he doesnt know the exact dista
34、nce at ail （ D） he wants to encourage him to go further 55 We learn from this passage that Americans _. （ A） are good at cheating （ B） are polite to anybody （ C） are sympathetic but honest （ D） have no sympathy for others 56 If you ask an American how far it is from the next village, he will _. （ A）
35、 tell you the exact distance if he knows it （ B） tell you it is close although he knows it isn t （ C） say that he doesnt know and encourage you to go on （ D） decide whether you are tired or not, and then give you an answer 57 The short passage advises us to _. （ A） be polite but honest to foreigners
36、 （ B） learn customs of different countries （ C） decide whether to be polite according to different cultures （ D） tell more troths to Americans than to people from other countries 58 Movies are the most popular form of entertainment(娱乐 ) for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape thei
37、r normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watc
38、hing the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget ail about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in r
39、eal life. The biggest “dream factories“ are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown ail over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do
40、 things the average person would like to do but often cant. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life; so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys“ win in the movies. 58 The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want _. （ A） to enjoy a good story （ B） to
