Crashed Cars to Text Message for Help

There is no good place to have a car crash -- but some places are worse than others. In a foreign country, for instance,【51】 to explain via cellphone that you are upside down in a ditch (沟渠) when you cannot speak the local language can fatally (~) delay the arrival of the emergency services.

But an answer may be at hand. Researchers funded by the European Commission are beginning tests of a system called E-merge that【52】senses when a ear has crashed and sends a text message, telling emergency services in the local language that the accident has taken place.

The system was【53】 by ERTICO, a transport research organization based in Brussels. Belgium. Cars are fitted with a eellphone-sized device attached【54】 the underside of the dashboard (仪表板) which is activated by the same sensor that triggers the airbag in a crash. The device【55】 a cellphone circuit, a GPS positioning unit and a microphone and loudspeaker.

It registers the severity of the crash by【56】 the deceleration data from the airbag's sensor. Using GPS information, it works out which country the Car is in, and from this it determines【57】 which language to compose an alert message detailing precise location of the accident.

The device then automatically makes a call to the local emergency services【58】. If the car's occupants are conscious, they can communicate with the operator【59】 the speaker and microphone.

E-merge also transmits the vehicles make, model, color and license number, and its heading' when it crashed, which in rum indicates on which side of a multi-lane highway it ended up.

This【60】 the emergency services find the vehicle as soon as they arrive on the scene. "We can waste a large【61】time searching for an incident, "says Jim Hammond, a(an)【62】in vehicle technology at the Association of Chief Police Officers in the UK. Tests will begin soon with police car fleets in the UK. Trials have already started in Germany, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy.

In-car systems that summon (召集) the emergency services after a crash have【63】been fitted in some premium cars". ERTICO says that【64】EU states "are willing to fund the necessary infrastructure (基础结构), E--merge could be working by 2008.

A study by French car maker Renault" concluded that the system could save up to 6000 of the 40,000 lives lost each year on Europe's roads, and prevent a similar number of serious injuries.

The Renault study estimates that fitting E-merge to every car in Europe would eventually save around 150 billion per【65】in terms of reduced costs to health services and insurance companies, and fewer lost working days.

3.Passage TwoThe other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What's wrong with the student's answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said "Thank you" instead of "No". He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say "Thank you". If someone says to a Woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I'm afraid I can't do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.40. Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer?A. Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.B. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.C. Because he wouldn't like others to say "No".D. Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.

4.It is_____ to say “Thank you” when you get something from others.A.a bad mannerB.bad mannersC.a good mannerD.good manners

    Tell me about a city you have visited.

    You should say:

    where the city is and when you went there

    what people can see and do in that city

    why that city is special and explain why your visit to that city was memorable.

    You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

    You will have one minute to think about what you're going to say.

    You can make some notes to help you if you wish.


    正确答案：The city that I visited most recently was Sydney. It's on the coast of South-East Australia and is one of the biggest cities in that country. It's most famous for it's opera house which I went to on a tour. Nearby there is a big bridge—I can't remember the name. It's shaped like an arch. I went there last month to visit a friend. There are many theatres galleries and other cultural things to do there but I spent most of my time just walking around. In the evenings I went out to a few of the bars with my friend. They were a little expensive but I enjoyed the atmosphere and we met some interesting people. There are still some old buildings from the colonial era and I took some photographs of them whenever I saw them on my walks. What makes the city special? I'd say that the people. Most people are friendly and cheerful. They seem very optimistic. They are also very out-going and so Sydney is quite lively in the evenings—at least in the city centre. I'm looking forward to going there again someday.

    What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
    If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

I highly appreciate his works like the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica, a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. I began to know him when I was in elementary school. At that time I liked paintings very much and I bought a collection of famous paintings. I saw Picasso’s painting Guernica and was greatly shocked by his talent and profundity. He’s different from other painters and his works are very surreal which leaves you space to imagine the theme of his work. From his painting I can view my life from a new perspective and that is why I appreciate him. He inspires me.

    What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
    If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

    According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he__________.

    A．will be a complete failure in his future work
    B．will not be able to find a suitable job
    C．will regret not having worked harder at school
    D．may do well in his future work

    解析：
    根据本文最后两句的句意“你在学校的记录并不是很好，但它仍然是你背景的一个重要部分。你不应对此感到抱歉。相反，你应该认识到在工作中你会有一个全新的开始。”可知，D项正确。

    第三篇

    Deaf and Hearing Loss

    People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They
    have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication一perhaps at a time when learn-
    ing is not all that easy.
    A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem.The sound perceived by the deaf person
    through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with
    normal hearing. Deafened people have to lipread as well.
    Lip reading is difficult,demands intense concentration,and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker's
    face.No other activities can take place at the same time:the lip reader has to stop eating,stop everything in
    order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper一as it sometimes appears to
    be一but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted.Remember what it's
    like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line.Frustrating,isn't it?The deaf have to face all the
    time.
    A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner一to treat them as if you
    were in a foreign country.You would speak more clearly,slowly and raise your voice slightly.And you'd
    use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be abso-
    lutely certain.You can do all those things with the deaf一as well as making sure you don't obscure your
    mouth with your hand,a pipe or a cigarette.
    Another point quite often overlooked is that a hearing aid may be quite efficient and useful in a quite
    carpeted room一but try it in the high street in the rush hour,in a noisy car,in a railway station ticket office,
    a cinema or a concert hail and you've got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech.So don't suggest
    to or encourage deaf people to go to functions which are going to make their disability appear worse一and in-
    crease their sense of failure.
    On the other hand careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should
    experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing,fitting adaptors for radio and television,observing
    which friends are easier to understand,and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and
    positive activities.

    "Another point overlooked"suggests that something has been overlooked before this.Overlooking things like the fact that________.
    A:you can obscure your mouth with you hand when you speak to the deaf
    B:you have to be sensitive about the surroundings
    C:you have to depend on a hearing aid
    D:you have to speak clearly,slowly and loudly

    答案：D
    解析：
    由文章第二段可知，助听器并不能完全解决问题，因为声音通过助听器常常变调，另外 噪音很大，所以听觉差者还必须通过唇读理解别人的话。故选B。
    由文章第三段第三句话可知，听觉差的人为了唇读，不得不把手头的任何活动停止。 为了去注视说话人的嘴，而不得不停止任何活动，有时候看上去显得很愚蠢。故选A。
    由文章第四段可知，我们要像对待外国人那样对待耳聋者，说话时要清楚缓慢，稍微提 高声音，并且利用手势把意思表达清楚等等。第五段第一句说：另一点常被人忽视的是助听器 在安静的环境下可能很有用，但在嘈杂的环境下可能是另外一回事。"another point”显然是承 接上段的内容，故选D。
    文章第五段最后一句话说：不要建议或鼓励聋人去那些地方，使他们感觉到他们的缺 陷很严重——从而使他们有一种失败的感觉。故选D。
    本文的目的是告诉读者A项：怎样去帮助耳聋者。文章的前半部分提到耳聋者为了明 白别人的说话所面临的困难，后半部分讲了我们在和耳聋者相处时应该怎么做。文章的重点 在于强调后者，故选A。

    The Sea

    What do you know about the sea?We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.We
    also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind.What other things do we know about it?The
    first thing to remember is that the sea is very big.When you look at the map of the world you will find there
    is more water than land.The sea covers three quarters of the world.
    The sea is also very deep in some places.It is not deep everywhere.Some parts of the sea are very shal-
    low.But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is
    nearly 11 kilometers deep!The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high.If that mountain
    were put into the sea at that place,there would be 2 kilometers of water above it！What a deep place!
    If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt,Rivers,which fi0w into the
    sea.carry salt from the land into the sea.Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts,There i、one sea,
    called the Dead Sea,which is very salty.It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink!Fish cannot live in the
    Dead Sea!
    In most parts of the sea,there are plenty of fishes and plants.Some live near the top of the sca.Othurs
    live deep down.There are millions of tiny living things that float in the sea.These floating things are so small
    that it is hard to see them.Many fish live by eating them.
    The sea can be very cold.Divers,who go deep down in the sea,know this.On the top the water may be
    warm.When the diver goes downwards,the sea becomnes colder and colder. Another thing happens.When the
    diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes
    made of metal.But he cannot go very deep.Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving
    ship!They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it.They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!

    The sea is 6 kilometers in depth on average.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：C
    解析：
    第一段说“当阳光普照大海时大海看起来很美丽”，但并没说“风平浪静”时也是如此。
    第一段的最后一句话说海洋覆盖了地球四分之三的面积，由此可推知陆地只占地球 25％的面积。
    第二段涉及大海的深度，但并没说到“平均深度”。
    第二段说死海咸度大，鱼类不能生存，但并没说所有生物都不能生存。
    第四段说在绝大多数海域，有丰富的鱼类和植物，有些生活在海洋表层，有些居住在深 海，因此说越往海洋深处鱼类和植物越少是没有道理的。
    由第五段可知潜水员潜得越深，其承受的水压就越大。
    文章结尾说潜水员潜往深水区时，乘坐极其坚固的潜水船是为了抵抗水压而不是为了 防寒。第3部分：概括大意与完成句子
