18、spect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre(大屠杀)on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies 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 that car

19、elessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to othersResearchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers reactions, slow their judgments, and bl

20、ind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn 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 r

21、egulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And 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 poi

22、nt of manufacture and through periodic roadworthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has deceased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and las

23、ting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving 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 roadside.41 What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?（A）To show that

24、 the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.（B） To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walker.（C） To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solution.（D）To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.42 According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded a

25、s a social problem because( ).（A）autos have become most 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 severe43 Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in

26、 Paragraph 2?（A）To give an example of the various 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.44 Who are NOT mentioned as b

27、eing responsible for the road accidents?（A）Careless bicycle-riders.（B） Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.（C） Irresponsible driver.（D）Mindless people walking in the street.45 Which of the following best reflects the authors attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?（A）Happy a

No modern industry or

29、 company can survive without advertising. It is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising were abolished, as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies that advertise would suffer a considerable loss.Most people think of television as an inexpens

30、ive source of entertainment. Televisions primary purpose, however, is not to provide an entertainment service,except for government-owned network, it exists in order to promote products for companies. Unless the television industry received income from advertising, watching television would be at le

31、ast as expensive as going to the movies.Like television, many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products.In some sensitive cases, the stories, pictures, and editorials simply attract people to buy a particular publication. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the adverti

32、sing.Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of the mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyers to choose one product over another. It also informs people of new products what are important in their lives, for exa

33、mple, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or the development of tires that prevent skidding(刹车打滑)on wet pavement.Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; it does help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to rel

34、ay news from the manufacture to the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of peoples everyday lives and a part of every companys budget.46 According to the passage, modern industry or company can survive( ).（A）if advertising continues to exist（B） if the link bet

35、ween the customers and manufacturers remains good（C） if “the criticized child“ dies out（D）if societies have become more industrialized47 From the passage, we may figure out that “vital“ in line 3, paragraph 1 means( ).（A）direct（B） important（C） only（D）visible48 According to the passage, the main purp

36、ose of television industry is( ).（A）to make money from customers（B） to advertise for companies（C） to provide entertainment service（D）to persuade people to buy new types of television49 The main function of advertising is( ).（A）promoting products for companies（B） informing public of new products（C） i

37、nfluencing buyers（D）all of the above50 Which of the following is NOT true about advertising?（A）Advertising does not always increase the sales.（B） Advertising serves to relay information from buyers to producers.（C） Advertising is and will continue to be a necessary part of everyday lives.（D）It is su

38、ggested that advertising should be abolished.50 According to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are not survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips.Experts say that you should read and list

39、en to safety instructions before takeoff and ask question if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat

40、 on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and

41、keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew c

42、ommands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near t

43、he wreckage.51 According to the experts, when should travelers read and listen to safety instructions?（A）Before takeoff.（B） In an emergency.（C） Throughout the flight.（D）During landings.52 Which exits suggested in the passage should an airline passenger locate before takeoff?（A）The ones that can be f

His book Four

47、Arguments for the Elimination of Television is an American cult(狂热崇拜的)bestseller, and after eight editions is still generating concern and savage debate(热烈的讨论)in the USA.JerryMander, a former advertising expert is convinced that for the sake of our freedom, and mental and physical health, we should

48、learn to live without TV. Through his advertising background Mander is aware of how much of television is concerned with advertising. He sees the planting of values for profit as “a deep, profound and disturbing act by the few against the many, for a trivial purpose“. And, even without commercials,

49、he sees TV as disturbing because it crams peoples heads with images, which alter the way they feel and behave. Pictures formed by 300, 000 tiny dancing dots altering 30 times per second, bombard(轰击)their eyes as people scan the images 10 times a second. The brain registers stores all 30 images, but the conscious mind registers far fewer. But, argues Mander, even if you reject or doubt what you see consciously, it is too late, the crucial(极其重要的)messages have gone home.He further argues that TV is deadening experience as it is restricted to just two sensessight and
