26、p them. The rescuers clothes and hair could be seen bursting into flames in the intense heat.Most of the dead were found piled up at the back of the stand, where they had run to escape from the fire. However, the gates at the back of the stand had been locked before the start of the match. This had

27、been done to prevent people from entering without paying.

The police are fac

28、ed with the problem of identifying the victims and dental records and jewelry are being collected to help with the task.The alarmingly quick spread of the fare was of serious concern to police and fire-brigade investigators last night.

29、ver the years beneath the wooden stands provided ready-made fuel for the fire.Police think that the blaze was started by a dropped cigarette.

35、ve it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形) painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than th

36、ey really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test

37、how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed related hazards are the greatest curves, exi

38、t slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists sa

39、y, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage mainly discusses _.（分数：2.00）A.a new way of hig

40、hway speed controlB.a new pattern for painting highwaysC.a new approach to training driversD.a new type of optical illusion(2).On roads painted with chevrons drivers tend to feel that _.（分数：2.00）A.they should avoid speed-related hazardsB.they are driving in the wrong laneC.they should slow down thei

41、r speedD.they are approaching the speed limit(3).The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _.（分数：2.00）A.can keep drivers awakeB.can cut road accidents in halfC.will have a longer effect on driversD.will look more attractive(4).The American Automobile Association Fou

42、ndation for Traffic Safety plans to _.（分数：2.00）A.try out the Japanese method in certain areasB.change the road signs across the countryC.replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD.repeat the Japanese road patterns(5).What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads

43、?（分数：2.00）A.They are falling out of use in the United States.B.They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C.They are applicable only on broad roads.D.They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When some nineteenth-century New Yorkers said “Harlem

44、“, they meant almost all of Manhattan above Eighty-sixth Street. Toward the end of the century, however, a group of citizens in upper Manhattanwanting, perhaps, to shape a closer and more precise sense of community designated a section that they wished to be known as Harlem. The chosen area was the

45、Harlem to which Blacks were moving in the first decades of the new century as they left their old settlements on the middle and lower blocks of the West Side.As the community became predominantly Black, the very word “Harlem“ seemed to lose its old meaning. At times, it was easy to forget that “Harl

46、em“ was originally the Dutch name “Harrlem“, that the community it described had been founded by people from Holland; and that for most cites three centuriesit was first settled in the sixteen hundred it had been occupied by White New Yorkers. “Harlem“ became synonymous with Black life and Black sty

47、le in Manhattan. Blacks living there used the word as though they had coined it themselvesnot only to designate their area of residence but to express their sense of the various of its life and atmosphere. As the years passed, “Harlem“ assumed an even larger meaning. In the words of Adam Clayton Pow

48、ell, the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Harlem “became the symbol of liberty and the promised land to the Negroes. Everywhere“.By 1919, Harlems population had grown by several thousand. It had received its share of wartime migration from the South, the Caribbean, and parts of colonial Afri

49、ca. Some of the new arrivals merely lived in Harlem. It was New York they had come to, looking for jobs and for all the other legendary opportunities of life in the city. To others who migrated to Harlem, New York was merely the city in which they found themselves; Harlem was exactly where they wished to be.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main subject of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The migration of the blacks to Harlem.B.The origin of the word “Harrlem“.C.Harlem the symbol for liberty and promised land to the negroes.D.The history
