12、ges in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn your car you may have a cell phone,
13、a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isnt the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dan
14、gerous. It is the yakking itself - or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isnt present - that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alco
15、hol level of 0.08,” which is the legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to su
16、dden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting, says Strayer. Looking and seeing are not one and the same.
17、 By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause, Strayer says.Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people a
18、re less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving. Strayer adds lastly.16. According to the recent studies, which of the following makes drivi
19、ng dangerous?A. A cell phone dialing by the driver.B. The drivers endless arm waving.C. The drivers continuous cell phone talking.D. The absence of another phone speaker.17. Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most?A. The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.B.
20、The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level.C. Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.D. A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.18. The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that_.A. the cell phone drivers get less than
21、 half of the visual informationB. the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front carsC. the cell phone drivers response to sudden dangers is slowerD. the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments 19. Strayer discourages drivers from talking, about business on cell phone
22、s while driving because_.A. they tend to forget the details of a conversation B. both the driver and his agent happen to be drivingC. it might not be good for the drivers memoryD. the other passengers would overhear the conversation20. It can be inferred that the authors attitude toward cell phone y
23、akking is_.A. approving B. disapproving C. encouraging D. indifferentPassage TwoIts no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day involvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee how the Bill Gates Foundation spends its $ 16 billion on philanthropy,
24、or charity. But Gates is not the first one to follow the path. Ever since the industrial revolution, wealthy self-made businessmen and businesswomen have felt a calling to create a legacy that goes beyond a profit and loss sheet. The saying He who dies rich, dies disgraced runs deeply through the bu
25、siness community.But out of all the great philanthropists, Mr. Gates career path appears to be closest to the oil millionaire John Rockefeller. Both were self-made men and both became the richest men on the planet. Rockefeller was in his late fifties when he turned his attention full time to philant
26、hropy- creating vast charitable foundations to promote health and education. Now Gates says he will do the same in his early fifties. With great wealth comes great responsibility, he adds.Like Gates, many philanthropists do not want to pass on too much wealth to their children. They want them to be
27、comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren. But they dont want to leave them millions and millions because they know how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich lists are increasingly dominated by self-made mill
28、ionaires, rather than inherited wealth. New money is less likely to be tied up in assets, making it ripe for philanthropy The appearance of the welfare state also had a great impact on attitudes to philanthropy. The state was saying it would take over much of the role of what was once regarded as th
29、e responsibility of private philanthropists.21. Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT_.A. abandoning his career with Microsofts daily businessB. devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causesC. leaving his children enough money for a comfortable lifeD. defying John Rockefeller in creat
30、ing charitable foundations22. The saying He who dies rich, dies disgraced properly means that_.A. the wealthy people should give away their fortunes after deathB. the wealthy people should feel ashamed for-their assetsC. the wealthy people should abandon their careers for charitiesD. it is shameful
31、for the wealthy people to keep their wealth till death23. Gates and Rockefeller are similar in that_.A. both of them inherited their wealthB. their career paths are exactly the sameC. both decided to devote to charity in their fiftiesD. both made their fortunes in the same way24. Many wealthy people
32、 dont want to leave too much behind mainly because_.A. it is not easy for them to make their fortunesB. they want their children to make their own wayC. they just wish their children to have a comfortable lifeD. they hope to gain reputation by donating their wealth25. The chief reason why philanthro
33、py has come into a good stage is that_.A. the new money is less likely to be regarded as ones private wealthB. Gates will devote his full attention to philanthropyC. the welfare state would take over all the charity responsibilitiesD. many new millionaires are self-made rather than inheritedPassage
34、Three In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, Magic Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight aga
35、inst HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.“A lot of times, what happens is that the posters not enough,”Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. “So I have to get out and tell them myself, like Im doing here today.” Johnson is now talking to
36、an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, half of the
37、 more than I million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white co
38、unterparts.“Right now, we dont have a solution on how to combat it, so were trying to do some different things than what has happened before,” Johnson says.Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practica
39、l one. “The safest sex is no sex,” he says. “But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with Hey, if youre going to do it, youve got to protect yourself and your partner.”Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson
40、 can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. “just try to be real with them,” he says. “They appreciate that.”26. The phrase “disease that the public still had a lot to learn about here means a disease that_. A. was already well-known thenB. was too compl
41、icated for peopleC. was still too new to be understoodD. killed too many victims then27.

To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers. D. To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers
44、.Passage FourOnce upon a time all you needed for a camping trip was a sleeping bag, a compass and some common sense. Now, according to my local sporting goods retailer, a lot more should be added. However, outdoor travel has become such a trend that urban people find themselves with some upscale ret
45、ailers to address their every desire.Eco and adventure are the latest fashionable words in destination travel; those n the industry know they can make serious cash off all the consumers. These are consumers who get outdoors not for natures sake, but to work out simply for a splendid cocktail party.A
46、s a result of high-end demand, the great outdoors is becoming less affordable and accessible for ordinary people. Our national parks used to be vast acres of wilderness where people could go and enjoy nature, for free. But over the past 100-years, the government has been slowly selling or leasing of
47、f public lands-for-profit, and our current president is continuing the trend. Large ski resorts have swallowed up plenty of wilderness and small towns in the West by attracting more high-end businesses. Nature is now a commodity that can be repackaged and sold to the wealthy developers. As for the small amount of public land Left,
