discount.D.The tickets for group booking.BFrom the health point of view we are living in an amazing age.We are free from many of themost dangerous diseases.A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modernmedicine.It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubbornremaining diseases.The expectation of life has increased greatly.But though the possibility ofliving a long and happy life is greater than ever before,every day we witness the unbelievablekilling of men,women and children on the roads.Man vs the motor-car.It is a never-ending battlewhich man is losing.Thousands of people the world over are killed or honibly killed each yearand we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel（方向盘），his carbecomes the extension of his personality.There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out amans very worst qualities.People who are normally quiet and pleasant may becomeunrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel.They say,they are ill-mannered andaggressive,willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish.All their hidden angers anddisappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive hisbehavior.Everything is done for his convenience.Cities are allowed to become almostuninhabitable because of heavy traffic;towns are made ugly by huge car parks;the countryside isruined by road networks;and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year,to beeasily forgotten.It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life.Withregard to driving,the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax（不严格）and even the strictestare not strict enough.A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviouslybeneficial effect on the accident rate.Here are a few examples of some of the things that might bedone.The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is;all the driversshould be made to take a test every three years or so;the age at which young people are allowed todrive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21;all vehicles should be put through strict tests forsafety each year.Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a persons drivingability.Present drinking and driving laws（where they exist）should be made much stricter.Speedlimits should be required on all roads.Governments should lay down safety specifications for carfactories,as has been done in the USA.All advertising stressing power and performance should bebanned.These measures may not sound good enough.But surely nothing should be considered astoo severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths.After all,the world is for human beings,not motor-cars.46.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B.Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.C.Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.D.The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.47.What does the author think of society toward motorists?A.Society laughs at the motorists.B.Society forgives their rude driving.C.Victims of accidents are nothing.D.Huge car parks are built in the cities andtowns.48.What does the author mean by saying“his car becomes the extension of his personality inPara.2?A.Driving can represent his manners.B.Driving can show the other part of hispersonality.C.Driving can bring out his character.D.Driving can show his hidden qualities.49.Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A.Test drivers every three years.B.Stricter driving tests.C.Build more highways.D.Raise age limit and lay down safetyspecifications.50.The authors attitude towards the present traffic situation is.A.unsatisfied B.positive C.appealing D.unclearCSAN FRANCISCO-Rising sea levels from climate change could wash away some ofCalifornias most iconic beaches by the end of the century,along with hundreds of millions ofdollars in property,according to a new study.4If beaches disappear,shrink and erode（受至侵蚀）,we are going to have less tourism,saidPhillip King,an associate professor of economics at San Francisco State University.tcWe took thebest available science,and its possible the(estimated)costs are still too low.Economists at the university spent two years projecting economic losses from climate changeat San Franciscos Ocean Beach and the communities of Carpinteria,Malibu,Venice and TorreyPines State Reserve near San Diego.Based on forecasts calling for sea levels to rise between 1 and 2 meters by the year 2100,theresearchers invented models predicting which properties,infrastructure(基础设施),wildlifehabitats and open spaces will be flooded or eroded,and the value of those losses.They also surveyed existing reports to determine how costly it would be to protect or replacethose coastal resources.Venice Beach stands to be the hardest hit of the five shorelines studied,with a 2-meter rise insea level over the next 90 years resulting in$96 million in losses,according to the report.A1 -meter increase over the same period would cause$31,6 million in losses there.A more comprehensive study by the Pacific Institute,an environmental think tank,concluded that nearly 500,000 people and$100 billion worth of property along California entirecoast were at risk of severe flooding from rising sea levels this century unless new safeguardswere put in place.The San Francisco State University researchers said their findings could guide policymakerswhen they consider future shorefront development.(Reuters)51.What will a 1-meter rise in sea level over the next 90 years result in?A.1/2 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Ocean Beach.B.1/2 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Malibu Beach.C.1/3 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Californias Beach.D.1/3 as much loss as a 2-meter rise in sea level causes at Venice Beach.52.What does the underlined word shrink in Para.2 mean?A.become smaller B.lose itselfC.wear away D.get destroyed53.What can we learn from the passage?A.People and property along Californias entire coast are to be severely flooded this century.B.Venice Beach will remain standing there in spite of the rising sea level in the future.C.The article mainly tells us that 由 e rising seas could wash out California beaches.D.The rise of sea levels can be completely controlled and wont affect tourism.54.Whats the tone of the writer?A.Optimistic B.Matter-of-fact C.Doubtful D.PessimisticDI was puzzled!Why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse which was ofno use to anybody?She had written letters to the local paper,even to a national,protesting about aprojected by-pass to her village,and,looking at a map,the route was nowhere near where shelived and it wasnt as if the area was attractive.I was more than puzzled,I was curious.The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly,and Iwanted to know what it was that motivated her.So it was that I found myself knocking on acottage door,being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.Tve always loved this place,“she said,“it has a lot of memories for me,and for others.Weall used it.They called it Lovers lane.Its not much of a lane,and it doesnt go anywhereimportant,but thafs why vve all came here.To be away from people,to be by ourselves.sheadded.It was indeed pleasant that d
