28、al limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if youre just eaten and what sort o
29、f drinks youve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks. In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if youre below the legal limit, you could be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcoh
30、ol. It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that youre still over the legal limit. In addition, if
31、youve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit. In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of movable posts, and t
32、he less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure youre safe is not to drink at all. Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the big
33、gest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breathalyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit. It is important to remember that driving after youve been drinking doesnt just affect you. If youre involved in a
34、n accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure. Directions: Decide whether the following statements are True or False. 61 The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit is 80 mg of pure alcohol. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 62 Whe
35、n the police think that you have been drinking from the way you are driving, you might be taken to the court. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 63 The more alcoholic drinks the drivers have had, the more likely they are to pass the test course. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 64 If you have had a standard drink, you may dr
36、ive an hour later. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 65 Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents in that more young men die in the drink-related accidents than in any other way. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE Section B 65 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, th
37、e number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done
38、to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cu
39、t out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing blanches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tre
40、e and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk, It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death
41、as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this pur
42、pose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed, If this does happen, it is, of course impossible to paint them properly. Directions: Answer the following
43、questions with the information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each question. 66 What may pruning be done to improve? 67 What will make trees become unhealthy? 68 When is the risk period of trees? 69 What is the purpose to paint a special substance on the tree when it is pruned? 70
44、 When does a gardener usually prune a tree? Section C 70 Human are social animals. They depend on groups for survival. An individual human being lost in a wilderness is capable of doing many things. But he will probably be thinking constantly about how much better it would be if there were other peo
45、ple around to talk to and to help. Because humans like to live and work in groups, they form couples and families; villages and cities; work groups, teams, and other organizations.Language is the “cement“ that holds these social groups together. Through language we can share ideas and experiences. T
46、he human mouth and throat are so constructed that we can utter a variety of sounds. Language is the device for matching certain combinations of sounds with the symbols for things, ideas, and emotions. Our brains think in symbols words and sentences as well as in the images that we receive from our s
47、enses. Thus we can turn experiences into symbols and communicate to other people through the use of language. Any one individual, therefore, can learn much from others that he can discover alone. Language enables people to pass ideas from group to group and from generation to generation. Language is
48、 part of culture. Culture, in this sense, means all those customs, skills, and attitudes that are part of the behavior of particular group. The way you live, what you think, and what you want in life are all affected by the culture of the group in which you are raised. Groups of people live in diffe
49、rent ways. They may have different skills, organizations, and art forms. Their family life may be completely different from yours. Human beings are inventive animals. They can even decide to change their culture in order to meet new situations. They can choose to live in many environments and in a wide variety of w
