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
2、 or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. 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 weakene
3、d at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol 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 traf
4、fic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden 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
5、 getting,“ says Strayer. “Looking and seeing are not one and the same.“ 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.Whethe
6、r talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are 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 lastl

It ca
11、n be inferred that the authors attitude toward cell phone yakking is IAI approving lB disapproving IC encouraging ID indifferentIts no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-day in- volvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee how the Bill Gates Fo
12、undation spends its $ 16 billion on philanthropy, 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 d
13、ies rich, dies disgraced. runs deeply through the business 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 fifti
14、es when he turned his attention full time to philanthropy-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
15、much wealth to their children. They want them to be comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren. But they dont want to leave them millions because they know how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper rich ilsts are i
16、ncreasingly dominated by self-made millionaires, 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 th
17、e role of what was once regarded as the responsibility of private philanthropists.21. Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPTAl abandoning his career with Microsofts daily businessB devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causesC leaving his children enough money for a comfortable lifeID
18、 defying John Rockefeller in creating charitable foundations22. The saying “He who dies rich, dies disgraced.“ properly means thatIA the wealthy people should give away their fortunes after deathlB the wealthy people should feel ashamed for-their assetsC the wealthy people should abandon their caree
19、rs for charitiesD it is shameful for the wealthy people to keep their wealth till death23. Gates and Rockefeller are similar in thatAl Both of them inherited their wealthlB their career paths are exactly the sameC both decided to devote to charity in their fiftiesD both made their fortunes in the sa
20、me way24. Many wealthy people dont want to leave too much behind mainly becauseIA 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 chi
21、ef reason why philanthropy has come into a good stage is thatA 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
22、 inheritedIn 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 fig
23、ht against 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 talk
24、ing to 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 lO-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.According to drug maker Abbot, hal
25、f of the 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
26、white counterparts.“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
27、practical 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 hit them with Hey, if you re going to do it, youve got to protect yourself and your partner. “Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues,
28、 Johnson 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 IA was already well-known then B was too compl

32、 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 retailers to address their
33、every desire.“Eco and “adventure“ are the latest fashionable words in destination travel; those in 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.As a result of high-e
34、nd 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 off public lands for p
35、rofit, 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 publi
36、c land left, well, try to remember the last time you camped at a state park for free.The Joneses and everyone trying to keep up with them want a piece of the outdoors, but only with creature comforts included. The rest of us are being slowly priced out of nature. Pretty soon my tent and sleeping pac
37、k will be out of date; since camping will mean a luxury yurt with skylights for star gazing. If this is what signifies experiencing nature in the new millennium, then Thoreau must be rolling in his grave.31. According to the author, outdoor travel has now becomeAl less needed for the urban residents
38、B an uncontrolled trend for city dwellersC an ever more attractive interest for urban peopleDJ so economical that most urban people can afford it32.

39、 all their moneyC make all the consumers cash their money in the bankD make a careful plan to attract as many consumers as possible33. Paragraph 2 is written to Al introduce the natures change of the outdoor travel todayB criticize the outdoor campers for their waste of moneyC describe the differenc
40、e of outdoor camping today and what it was beforeD imply the strong influence of the consuming society on the outdoor travel34. The author believes that A the government is fight to sell or lease public lands to wealthy developersB public lands shouldnt have been sold or leased to individuals for pr
41、ofitsC nature should be left for wide public to enjoy rather than to rentD the outdoor campers should be more clear-minded in spending money35. What can ordinary city dwellers do if the current outdoor travel trend continues?A They can do nothing but give up their outdoor travel.B They would feel an
42、gry and protest against the ill-trend.C The government and the industry may change their attitude.DJ Fewer and fewer urban people will make their seasonal outdoor travel.请同学们先做练习，再听课，不断总结提高！2007 年阅读理解真题In your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry
