Carmakers research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing

25、 more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency (频率 ) mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the

26、lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle (周期 ), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems (系统 ) both inside and outside the ca

27、rs. Another good thing about the use of noise killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the noise killing system will be used in most cars within a few year

28、s. But the carmakers haven t decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars. 56 Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise killing system works? （ A） By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction. （

29、 B） By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves. （ C） By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together. （ D） By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later. 57 Besides its main use the noise killing system can_. （ A） mak

30、e a car lighter （ B） make a car quieter （ C） reduce the cost of a silencer （ D） improve the performance of a silencer 58 The noise killing system is not yet popular mainly because_. （ A） it is still being tried out （ B） drivers still have their doubts （ C） it increases the cost of car production （ D

31、） carmakers are not sure if it is necessary 59 “How far is it to the next village?“ the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地 ) ,he will politely say “Just down the road.“ H

32、e thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “tricked“. He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well. Had conditions been turned over, t

33、he American would have felt he was “cheating“ the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic (同情的 ) to the weary driver, he would say “You have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 miles. “The driver might be

34、 disappointed, but he would know what to expect. Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cul-tures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem. 59 The man at the roadside tells the American it is c

35、lose to the next village because_. （ A） he is playing a trick on him （ B） the American expects the answer （ C） he doesnt know the exact distance at all （ D） he wants to encourage him to go further 60 We learn from this passage that Americans_. （ A） are good at cheating （ B） are polite to anybody （ C

36、） are sympathetic but honest （ D） have no sympathy for others 61 If you ask an American how far it is from the next village, he will_. （ A） tell you the exact distance if he knows it （ B） tell you it is close although he knows it isnt （ C） say that he doesnt know and encourage you to go on （ D） deci

37、de whether you are tired or not, and then give you an answer 62 The short passage advises us to_. （ A） be polite but honest to foreigners （ B） learn customs of different countries （ C） decide whether to be polite according to different cultures （ D） tell more truths to Americans than to people from

38、other countries 63 Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者 ), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some mone

39、y by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名 ). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his wo

40、rks to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger cant go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who dont have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged

41、 paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stone Wall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fannys money proble

42、ms forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty. 63 Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada? （ A） There was a greater demand there than

43、 in America. （ B） There was less chance of being discovered there. （ C） Britain was Springs birthplace. （ D） The prices were higher in England and Canada. 64 Robert Spring spent 15 years_. （ A） running a bookstore in Philadelphia （ B） writing letters to Miss Fanny Jackson （ C） as a forger （ D） as a

44、respectable seller 65 According to the passage, forgers are usually sold to_. （ A） experts （ B） persons who aren t experts （ C） book sellers （ D） owners of old books 66 Who was Miss Fanny Jackson? （ A） The only daughter of General “Stone Wall“ Jackson. （ B） A little known girl who sold her father s

45、letters to Robert Spring. （ C） Robert Spring s daughter. （ D） An imaginary person created by Spring. 67 Tired of Working in Your Country?
