To build a safer car，Japanese automakers are trying to replace the driver．
Inspired by statistics blaming human error for most accidents，Toyota and its competitors are designing“intelligent’”cars that can almost drive themselves on the high way．
The systems are designed to reduce human tiredness and the mistakes that often result．This kind of support is what drivers need most in a country with some of the most crowded roads in the world．That is why it should not be surprising that Japan is leading the race to make cars smarter．
To provide a safer ride，Japanese automakers are turning to technologies like laser radar and machine vision to replace tired eyes and wandering minds．
An infrared（紅外線的）radar unit fixed on the bumper is part of a new cruise（巡航）control method that Toyota introduced in August 1997．It’s now an optional（隨意的）feature on its Celsior luxury car that costs 70000 yuan （$648）．
The“adaptive”system tracks（尾隨）the car ahead，and slows down or speeds up the car automatically to keep a safer distance in highway traffic．The same technology has also been used by some cars made by Toyota’s competitors．
Subaru，a type of its Legacy wagon，made its first appearance last September with Active Driving Assist（ADA），which besides adjusting cruising speed，sounds an alarm if the car goes out of its lane or makes a turn too fast．In the latter case，it down shifts gear even before the driver starts to brake．
An even smarter system is coming from Honda．Called Honda Interlligent Driver Support（HIDS），it “sees”the road through a tiny camera on the windshield and helps steer（操縱）the car down the middle of lane（車道）．
A computer picks out line on the highway surface and touched the car’s steering wheel in the right direction．
Honda got approval in March to start testing HIDS on the highway and says 1t will arrive in showrooms in the near future．
1.Why are Japanese automakers developing cars that can almost drive themselves on．the highway'?
A．Because they want to win the car competition．
B．Because many accidents resulted from the mistakes made by drivers．
C．Because drivers are always tired when driving the car．
D．Because people don’t want to drive the cars themselves．
2.What is the main purpose for the automakers to design the system of the new cars?
A．To make them run faster so that they can sell them at higher prices．
B．To make them keep to the lane without being controlled．
C．To help drivers make fewer mistakes so that accidents can be avoided．
D．To use some advanced devices like laser radar and machine vision．
3.We can infer from the passage that ．
A．accidents always occur in the crowded streets
B．traffic accidents are likely to happen when drivers are tired and careless
C．accidents happen because traffic rules are not obeyed
D．many accidents occur because there are no advanced system
4.If you drive the car with HIDS，you will find ．
A．your car 1s always keeping the right direction
B．your car is slowed down or speeded up automatically
C．your car is controlled by an Infrared radar
D．you are always keeping a safer distance on the high-way

Dear fellow students,
Our school is aimed to build a “harmonious campus” .
As a high school students, we should behave ourselves. But
some students are badly behaved. They threw rubbish about
and listen MP3 or sleep in class. A few boys even smoke and copy
other students homework. I think it has a bad effect on their health as
good as their study. A “harmonious campus” should have civilized
students. So we should be strict on ourselves. Of course, study is the
first. But we should study hardly. In order to build a harmonious
study atmosphere, they must develop good habits. If everyone高☆考♂資♀源?網
makes a contribution to build our campus, I’m sure
our school will become beautiful and harmonious.
Yours,
Li Qiang

If we say the four great inventions (Gunpowder,Compass,Paper and Art of Printing) reflected ancient China’s scientific achievements,then Zhaozhou Stone Bridge perfectly represented one of the greatest contributions to ancient China’s bridge building.Nobody was unfamiliar with the stone bridge full of legends and vivid folk stories.
The ancient Zhaozhou stone bridge started to be built in 590 during the Sui Dynasty (581～618) and established in 608.The pioneer for building the bridge was Li Chun who overcame unimaginable difficulties,undergoing all hardships.The location of the bridge is in Zhao County south,Hebei Province.It lay across the Xiaoshui River,far away from the mountains that provided rocky materials.In ancient times,it was such a busy,deep and wide river that could be used as an important carriage to transport heavy rocks and other materials.As we know,no train,no lifting machine could be used to move granite(花崗巖)blocks to the construction site.As an intelligent stonemason and engineer,Li Chun worked out his plan and design all from his own direct observation and investigation.It took his whole life-time in completing the great historical project inChina.Nowadays it is not only a historical remarkable model of architecture,but also a brilliant Chinese cultural crystallization(結晶) of wisdom.
The entire length of the bridge is 50.82 meters with 10 meters width.The whole stone bridge looks like a big bow,the span of which is 37.02 meters,and its height from the top to the surface of water at a regular position is 7.23 meters.The bridge arch seems to be moving smoothly and flatly.The whole arch consists of 28 big granite blocks connected each other tightly together.On both end sides of the general arch there are 4 smaller arches,2 of which on one side,the other 2 on the other side.The smaller arches could be used to decrease the weight of the bridge and save stone materials,and help flood get through easily,which seems to be much prettier.Such a hard-thinking and careful consideration of the engineering article is really a model of design and layout.The span was much wider than the other stone bridge in ancient times all over China.
Today Zhaozhou Stone Bridge is one of international cultural relics and perfectly protected and preserved by the concerned administration of China.
1.The best title of this passage is _________.
A.Great engineer in ancient China B.Zhaozhou stone bridge
C.Four great inventions D.How to build a bridge
2.The third paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A.the materials of Zhaozhou bridge B.the structure of Zhaozhou bridge
C.the arches of Zhaozhou bridge D.the importance of Zhaozhou bridge
3.The underlined word “carriage” probably refers to _________.
A.cart B.transport C.channel D.resourse

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily. Many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.

With the growth of the European Union and increased globalisation, English is increasingly the lingua franc a（通用語） in European businesses, and those who speak it have become the elite （精英）of the workforce．
In the past, only a few specialists in a company were needed to communicate with foreign businesses．However, in these days of multinational companies, where workers are required to communicate with other employees from several countries, a common language is essential and English has become the logical choice．
Nowadays, even blue-collar workers in many companies are required to speak English．For example, just over three years ago, a Dutch company．United Pan-European Communications （UPC）, was contracted to build a TV studio in Amsterdam．The job involved many electricians—more than the company could find in the Netherlands．There were plenty of qualified electricians in nearby France and Belgium, but the American and Dutch executives of UPC wanted everyone on the job to speak and understand the same language．So, the UPC hired British electricians and flew them to Amsterdam every Monday, accommodating them in hotels all over the city, and flying them home on Friday evenings．
Increasingly, workers who can speak English earn salaries 25-35% higher than those who can' t．They are also eligible （有條件被選中的） for a wider range of high-level jobs．
The problem is that, while the ability to speak English is fast becoming essential for getting a good job, there is a shortage of people who can speak it．According to a recent European Commission report, only about 41% of continental Europeans can speak English, and only 29% speak it well enough to carry on a conversation．Many companies are solving this problem by setting up English language schools within the workplace．English language schools all over Europe are expanding at a huge rate, and governments are looking at ways to improve English tuition in schools．
One result of this modem urge to learn English is that a generation gap is appearing． According to a European Union study, 67% of Europeans between 15 and 24 say they can speak English while only 18% of those over 55 say they can．Increasingly, all over Europe, it is the children who are leading the parents．
1.In European companies, workers who speak English ________．
|
A．find it easy to carry on a conversation |
B．have an advantage over other workers |
|
C．must be white-collar workers |
D．travel to many different countries |
2.Why did the UPC hire the British electricians?
|
A．There were not enough electricians in nearby France and Belgium． |
|
B．British electricians were more qualified than those in the Netherlands． |
|
C．The UPC wanted all the employees to speak English． |
|
D．The UPC meant to show they were rich enough to accommodate and fly them． |
3.What can you learn from the passage about European people?
|
A．More young people can speak English well than older people. |
|
B．67% Europeans can speak English very well． |
|
C．18% of the people over 55 can't speak English． |
|
D．Over half the people can speak English． |
