Diana Nyad was dozens of miles into her dream to complete a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Key West. Because of the currents in the Florida Straits, Nyad would have to last 60 hours - if everything went perfectly. For two years, this dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida had been part of her every waking hour. She was about to turn 60. "I wanted to be filled with commitment to the best of myself so that I wasn't looking back later saying, 'What have I done with my life?''' says Nyad. Those extreme physical struggles are not new to her. In 1974, 25-year-old Nyad became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario against the current. A year later, Nyad's 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan made the front page of the New York Times. "Physically, I'm stronger. I weigh a lot more," Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June. "There are also mental advantages to being older," says Steven Munatones, an expert in swimming. Feeling a sharp pain in her right shoulder, she changed the angle of stroke (划), telling herself to go gently until her hand caught the water. In the 17th hour, she swam over to the boat, and the crew located a pain reliever. Nyad took it. She lay on her back, rolled onto her belly and continued swimming, and then she'd turn on her back again, gasping, unable to fill her lungs. "I'm trying to make it. I'm barely going forward. I feel so sick. This has been my dream forever, but I can hardly make it another hour," Nyad told David Marchant, the boat's navigator (领航员). Between the 23rd and 27th hours, Nyad had gone just five miles. "OK, Diana, I'm going to touch you, and it's going to be over," Stoll said. Nyad agreed. And with that, 29 hours and 43 minutes after she'd leaped into the water, the swim came to an end. "She just wouldn't quit. It was more amazing to see her not make it the way she fought than if everything had gone exactly right and she'd made it the whole way," says Mark Sollinger, who piloted Nyad's lead boat. At a press .conference in Key West after being pulled onto the support boat, Nyad choked back tears and said, "Sometimes the will is so strong. But I was shaking and freezing, and I thought, 'There's no mind over matter anymore.' I think I'm going to have to go to my grave without swimming from Cuba to Florida." But when Nyad returned home to Los Angeles, the pain began to fade. "Something says to me the goal is still there," says Nyad. 41. Nyad decided to swim from Cuba to Florida because she _.A. wouldn't swim against the current B. wanted to prove she was stronger than before C. had David Marchant as her navigator D. wanted very much to fulfill her dream 42. We can learn from the passage that Nyad _.A. refused any help as she struggled in the water to make it B. has given up the dream of swimming across the Florida Straits C. appeared on the front page of the New York Times at the age of25 D. began the swim from Cuba to Florida when she was about 60 years old 43. What can we conclude from what Mark Sollinger says in Paragraph 6? A. He didn't expect Nyad to succeed. B. He was disappointed at Nyad's failure. C. He really admired Nyad for her struggle. D. He was not sure about Nyad's success. 44. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Highly Skilled Swimmer B. The Unsinkable Diana Nyad C. A Regrettable Experience D.

So, automakers are focused on safety systems more than ever before. Given the emphasis on improving safety, its possible that well-known phrases such as “live fast and die young may lose their meaning as innovative (创新的) new devices are built into cars and trucks and other things that go.Many of the new safety systems that are being added to high-end vehicles are computer- assisted technologies that transfer some of the vehicles operations to the vehicle itself, rather than relying only on the drivers decision-making skills.  For example, predictive brake assist is an in-vehicle feature that prepares the vehicle for braking when its built-in sensors detect a potential object ahead. The predictive brake assist basically places the vehicles braking system on alert, which helps the system to slow down the car in as little time and as short a distance as possible.Other in-vehicle sensors will detect moving and still objects and will even distinguish the objects based on simple patterns, such as other vehicles vs. a person. Whats more, built-in “active systems, i.e., predictive precollision (可预测碰撞) systems, will provide drivers with advance detection of potential contact between vehicles. These systems compute the relative movement of the objects and detect possible dangerous intersections (交点).What technological developments have enabled innovations like predictive precollision systems? Essentially, these so-called active systems are the result of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. These communication links allow highways to provide a vehicles owners with services such as renting a movie during the trip, as well as reduce reaction delays when medical care is needed due to a crash.  Despite these new technologies, drivers cannot take safety for granted. Until all vehicles are fully automated, it is the drivers themselves who are responsible for operating their vehicles and obeying traffic laws designed to keep roadways secure. So, keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel (方向盘). 48. “Pr
