第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A trucker relates that he was traveling through rural North Carolina on I-95 when a
brown car combined onto the highway. It came back and forth between lanes, causing the
driver of the truck to change into a lower position. At first he thought the driver was drunk,
but when he came closer, the trucker saw an old man shaking uncontrollably behind the
wheel. He noticed a Citizen"s Band aerial(天线)shaking to and fro as the car pulled suddenly
between lanes, so he called on the radio: 'You in the brown Chevy, if you can hear me, pull
over. Pull off the road!”
Amazingly, he drdf The trucker pulled up behind the car and climbed from his cab(驾驶
室). The elderly man staggered(蹒珊)from his auto and fell into the trucker"s arms. He
poured out a story of months of fear and pain that accompanied the illness of his only
daughter.
Now he was returning from the hospital where it was decided that she would stop any
further treatment. In the hospital he remained 'strong', but out on the road he fell apart.

his pain with his ciaughter and said he felt good enough to drive home. The men embraced and
the trucker followed him for 50 miles. As they drove along, the two talked together on the
radio.

again for the help. The trucker asked if he could make it home all right and, suddenly, a third
voice broke in on the conversation: 'Breaker 19, cjon"t worry, good buddy. Go your way. I"ll
see him homei' Glancing in his mirror, he saw another truck move into the exit lane behind
the brown car.

A credit card that won"t work unless its owner"s voice is heard may become an important
weapon in the fight against economic fraud(款诈).
The card using a built-in voice-recognition chip requires users to give a spoken password
that it recognizes. The idea is to prevent Lhieves from using a stolen card to buy goods online.
A model built by engineers in California packs a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery
and a voice-recognition chip into a standard-sized credit card. The card is the length and width
of an ordinary credit card but about three times as thick. The company now plans to make it
thinner.
The voice card is based on an earlier Beep card technology designed to prevent fraud in
online deals. The Beep card has no microphone, but has a built-in loudspeaker to utter an
audible (听得见的) ID signal by a computer"s microphone to an online serverc服务器). By
confirming that signal matches the information in the card, the server can make sure that the
user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card in his hand. The ID
code, which only the server knows, changes each time the card is used.
This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing
back the audible ID when they key in the details later. But this earlier Beep card technology
cannot prevent illegal use of stolen cards. The new voice card can. The new voice card doesn"t
identify itself by its lD until it has confirmed the real user"s spoken password. Thieves will be
unable to use the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to
copy the owner"s voice with a high degree of accuracy. The challenge for Beep card has been to
develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry(芦音电路).
The voice-recognition credit is powered by a mini battery. To extend batter life, the
electronics have only to be switched on when the card is being used. Pressing a button on the
card"s surface allows one to hear a female voice saying, 'Say your password. ' If the voice-
recognition software proves that the password is real, it sends its ID, which the server then
identifies, allowing the deal to continue.
28. The voice credit has become important because .
A.it makes it easy to shop online
B.it is cheap to make and buy
C.it makes economic fraucl more difficult
D.it has the function of leaving voice message
29. What is the difference between the ordinary credu card and model card?
A. The latter has no loudspeaker.
B. The latter is thicker than the former one.
C. The latter can"t be used online. .
D. The latter is larger than the former one.
30. We know from the passage that
A. the user of the earlier Beep ca~d~oesn"t need to key in the credit card number
B. thieves can use the voice card once it is stolen
C. the earlier beep carcl has a microphone and a built-in loudspeaker in it
D. the lD code number of the voice card is not all the same
31.1t can be inferred from the last paragraph that _ .
A. male customers won"t like using the voice car~
B. there need further improvements to extencl battery life
C. we can use the voice card at will .
D. female voice is the only voice heard

In 11 states across the United States, school buses are now doing more than just sending
students. They also carry advertisements on the outside. Restaurants, companies, banks, and
other businesses pay for the ads, hoping to attract more customers. Anci it"s a way for the
schools to make money.
'We"ve seen a lot of income produced by the advertisements,' said Devra Ash, who is the
spokesperson for School District 11 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She is also the mother of a
third grader. Last year, District 11 made more than {CONTENT}nbsp;15,000 from school-bus ads.
. Besides Colorado, states such as Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas allow ads on the
outside of their school buses. The idea appears to be spreading. In Georgia, some school-
district leaders are suggesting putting ads on their buses ioo.
School districts need to make sure that the ads are proper for kids, according to Michael
Beauchamp, an officer of Alpha Media. This company works with businesses in several states
to create ads for school buses. 'The districts won"t allow ads for things like beer, cigarettes,
or politics,' Beauchamp said.
But not everyone is in favor of school buse.s having ads on the outside. That includes
Georgia"s Department of Education. Spokeswoman Dorie Nolt said, 'We strongly believe that
advertising on the outside of school buses distracts(侵分心) drivers and children. '
Parents also hold different opinions about this. 'If the advertisements can bring in money
for the schools and help save some programs, that is great. ' said Glenn Herdling of River
Vale, New Jersey. His son is in second grade.
Cindy Tomarchio of East Windsor, New Jersey, feels differently. 'I know the schools
can use the money, but kids already see enough advertising every which way they turn,' she
said.
32. Why are advertisements put on the outside of the school buses:l
A. To draw the attention of the public.
B. To make some income for schools.
C. To win the support of other organizations.
D. To make students learn about advertisements.
33.In the opinion of Michael Beauchamp, _
A. all kinds of ads should be allowed to be o~school buses
B. students should be taught what advertisements are proper
C. ads about beer, cigarettes, or politics are improper for kids
D. watching advertisements is bad for the growth of chilciren
34. Who are against the idea of putting ads on the ouiside of school buses?
A. Devra Ash and Michael Beauchamp.
B. Michael Beauchamp and Glenn Herdling.
C. Glenn Herdling and Dorie Nolt.
D. Dorie Nolt and Cindy Tomarchio.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Debate on school-bus ads
B. Acivantages of school-bus ads
C. Effects of acis on school buses
D. School buses and education

great,a smile comes naturally. 36 Experts say smiling might be the best thing to do
when you want to possess a brighter mood. Here are some reasons to smile.
Smiling can lift a bad mood
Scientists have founc! that smiling can help people feel better. Just the simple act of
putting a smile on your face can lead you to feel actual happiness, joy or amusement. Smiling
changes brain chemistry, which will be beneficial to people who are dealing with depression
and anxiety. 37
Smiling helps us connect with others
Smiling and laughing are contagious(惑染性的),they help people connect with each
other. Why? 38 In that case smiling might create good social bonds, Scientists have even
found that we connect in a physical way when we share a smile or a positive emotion.
39
Since body language and mood are so linked,it makes sense that laughing helps us too.
Smiling relaxes the facial muscles and calms the nervous system. Laughing sends more oxygen
to the brain. Besides, laughing can lower blood pressure, relieve stress, and boost mood. By
repeating this simple breathing exercise several times, you"re relaxing your nervous system
and reducing stres.s.
So, the next time .someone tells you to 'cheer up' when you"re in a low mood, own
lt。 40
A. Smile can make our life better.
B. Smiling and laughing reduce stress.
C. But it"s not natural to smile when we"re sad or upset.
D. So smiling can be a big help to people who are in a bad mood.

smiling back.

genuine way.

A police car pulled up in front of an older woman"s house, and her husband climbed out.
The polite policeman 61 (explain) to his wife that 'this elderly gentleman' said that he
was lost in the park and that couldn"t find his way home. 'How could it happen?' she asked
62 (surprise). 'You"ve been going to that park for over 30 years! How could you get
lost?'Getting close 63 her ear so that the policeman couldn"t hear, he whispered,”1

you age. But you can have a better view when you reach the top of the mountain 69 0ne
can have a longer view of the past and can therefore understand the future with more clarity.
It is your attitude that matters.
George Bernard Shaw said, 'Some are younger at seventy than most at seventeen.“l

mountain, but, for me, the view will be worth the journey.
