For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 36 The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more pe

19、ople in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil(不文明的 ) behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies

20、of society on wheels are rather harmless people. Just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality(道德 ) that carelessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond careless

21、ness to total negligence(疏忽 ). Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents are due to the mental condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort driversreactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts w

22、arn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep ones emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; a

23、nd many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road- worthiness inspecti

24、ons. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that drivin

25、g is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 36 What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage? （ A） To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention. （ B） To promote

26、 understanding between careless drivers and street walkers. （ C） To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions. （ D） To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving. 37 According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because _. （ A） autos have become mo

27、st destructive to mankind （ B） people usually pay little attention to law and morality （ C） civilization brings much harm to people （ D） the lack of virtue is becoming more severe 38 Why does the author mention the mental condition of the driver in Paragraph 3? （ A） To give an example of the various

28、 reasons for road accidents. （ B） To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy. （ C） To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers. （ D） To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving. 39 Who are NOT MENTIONED as being responsible for the road accidents?

29、（ A） Careless bicycle-riders. （ B） Mindless people walking in the street. （ C） Irresponsible drivers. （ D） Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles. 40 Which of the following best reflects the authors attitude toward future without traffic accident problems? （ A） Doubtful yet still longing for it.

30、（ B） Happy and rather confident. （ C） Surprised and very pleased. （ D） Disappointed and deeply worried. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 When I arrived in Beijing more than five years ago, I had already given

31、blood 79 times. I wanted to continue to be a donor(献血者 ). But entering a Red Cross clinic(诊所 ) in Beijing, I was surprised to be received as a hero. For me, a blood donation was simply a good habit and gift of love to humans. In Canada, donors can give 450 ml each time, every 51 days. That means six

32、 times a year. in China, we can give only 200 ml, every four months. In 1984, there were only 19 donors in Beijing who offered their blood for free. One year later, there were 141. In 1986, 1 083, and so on until the figure reached 10,046 in 1990, 14,016 in 1992 and more than double that the followi

33、ng year. There were 41,037 in 1994, and my statistics stop here. Im so glad to see that the Chinese have understood that giving blood is not dangerous, and that its a way to say, in a real communist spirit, “Brother, I love you“. In fact, every time I give blood, I think of my blood running in a man

34、 or a womans veins(血管 ). Through donation thirteen Chinese have become my relatives now. Giving blood is like giving birth. Some of these thirteen people may have died without my donation; doesnt that make it worth becoming a volunteer(志愿者 )? What makes me even happier is when I can convince a Chine

35、se friend to come with me and become a donor too. Things have become easier since May 1, 1996. A Hong Kong donor offered a well-equipped mobile unit to the Red Cross here. The vehicle stands in front of the Xidan Shopping Mall every Wednesday and Sunday morning, from May to the end of October. Donor

36、s just need a few minutes. I hope this public example will encourage new donors, and blood donation will become a social trend among the population. 41 When the writer first went to the Red Cross clinic in Beijing to donate his blood he was surprised _. （ A） how he was treated by the people there （

During that time, students live either with a British family, or at the school, or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday, usu

42、ally in the mornings. Each school has a lot of different courses. Some arc for beginners and others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are fun, the classes are small and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries. But summer school students dont just speak English in th

43、e classroom. They are in Britain, so they speak and read and hear it outside, too. Thats why they learn so quickly and why a summer school course is really a holiday. Only one third of each course is taught in the classroom. The rest takes place during a busy afternoon and evening timetable of visit

44、s, sports and games. These activities help everyone to make new friends, have fun and improve their English.

Reader

48、s should understand, however, that the purpose of the book is to teach language, not to teach engineering. The language in which scientific and technical facts are expressed is not a separate language from that of everyday life, but all the same it presents the foreign student with a number of speci

49、al problems. The most obvious and the most widely recognized of these problems is the vocabulary. Much more difficult are the semi-scientific words, which have a whole range of meanings and are frequently used idiomatically. One of the aims of this practice book is to present as many of these words a
