6、ar. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do n
7、ot, you could be fined up to 50. it will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if y
8、ou reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it.

13、er than wear a seat beltPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exerciseand as a result, we are ageing
14、 unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National Universit
15、y, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the h
16、uman character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas observed I some subjects in their thirties,
17、but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with ageusing the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country tha
18、n in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawas findings show t
19、hat thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators
20、.”6. The team of doctors wanted to find out _.A)why certain peole age sooner than othersB) how to make people live longerC) the size of certain peoples brainsD) which people are most intelligent7. On what are their research findings based?A) A survey of farmers in northern JapanpB) Tests performed o
21、n a thousand old people.C) The study of brain volumes of different peopleD) The latest development of computer technology.8. The doctors test show that _.A) our brains shrink as we grow olderB) the front section of the brain does not shrinkC) sixty-year-olds have the better brains than thirty-year-o
22、ldsD) some peoples brains have contracted more than other peoples9. The word “subjects” in Paragraph 5means _.A) something to be consideredB) branches of knowledge studiedC) persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD) any member of a state except the supreme ruler10. According to the passage, wh
23、ich people seem to age slower than the others?A) Lawyers.B) Farmers.C) Clerks.D) Shop assistants. Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following passage.Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental an
24、d physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the “Second Industrial Revolution”.Labours concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment,
25、 and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and rep
26、airing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by
27、 workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since t
28、he employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignment. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that perma
29、nently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It is possible, however, that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working time.11. Though labou
30、r worries about the effect of automation, it does not doubt that _.A) automation will eventually prevent unemploymentB) automation will help workers acquire new skillsC) automation will eventually benefit the workers no less that the employersD) automation is a trend which cannot be stopped12. The i
31、dea of the “improvement factor” (Line 6, Para. 3) probably implies that _.A) wages should be paid on the basis of length of serviceB) the benefit of increased production and lower costs should be shared by workersC) supplementary unemployment benefit plans should be promotedD) the transition to auto
32、mation should be brought about with the minimum of inconvenience and distress to workers13. In order to get the full benefits of automation, labour will depend mostly on _.A) additional payment to the permanently dismissed workersB) the increase of wages in proportion to the increase in productivity
33、C) shorter working hours and more leisure timeD) a strong drive for planning new installations14. Which of the following can best sum up the passage?A) Advantages and disadvantages of automation.B) Labour and the effects of automation.C) Unemployment benefit plans and automation.D) Social benefits o
34、f automation.Questions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “bet
35、ter” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College gradu
36、ates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out-often encouraged by college administrator
37、s.Some observers say the fault! Is with the young people themselves-they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But thats a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. Weve been told that yo
38、ung people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest
39、 that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesnt ma
40、ke people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of
41、us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.15. According to the passage, the author believes that _.A) people used to question the value of college educationB) people used to have full confiden
42、ce in higher educationC) all high school graduates went to collegeD) very few high school graduates chose to go to college16. In the 2nd paragraph, “those who dont fit the pattern” refers to _.A) high school graduates who arent suitable for college educationB) college graduates who are selling shoes
43、 and driving taxisC) college students who arent any better for their higher educationD) high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college17. The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because _.A) young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at collegeB) man
44、y young people are required to join the armyC) young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher educationD) young people dont like the intense competition for admission to graduate school18. According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that _.A) socie
45、ty cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduatesB) high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC) too many students have to earn their own livingD) college administrators encourage students to drop out19. In this passage the author argues that _.A) more and m
46、ore evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB) college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC) college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning peopleD) intelligent people may learn quicker if they dont go to c
47、ollege20. The “surveys and statistics” mentioned in the last paragraph might have shown that _.A) college-educated people are more successful than non-college-educated peopleB) college education was not the first choice of intelligent peopleC) the less schooling a person has the better it is for himD) most people have sweet memories of college life
