15、o school on Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the schools busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nias bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus ” 一a group of

16、 kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costsand finding new ways to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills tot

17、al 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesnt affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.Many parents are delighted

18、 to see their kids walking to school，partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bull

19、ying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must，some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes an

20、d to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which arent always the shortest ones.There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, its an environmental win

21、-but if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead，the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer

22、accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.31.The “walking school bus”_.A. does not consume fuel B. aims to keep children fitC.seldom causes traffic jams D. is popular with sch

23、ool kids32.In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with_.A.individual schools B. school districtsC.teachers D. parents33.As regards walking to school, modem parents seem much concerned with the_.A.time spent on the way B. changes in the routeC.kids，physical strength D. safety of

24、 their children34.To save money, some schools choose to_.A.take the shortest routes B. shorten the school weekC.give drivers better training D. use fuel-efficient buses35.Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to_.A.fiercer competition among bus companiesB.more students taking public transportationC.an

25、 increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD.a decrease in the safety of school buses36.Which of the following best describes the authors attitude towards busing cutbacks?A.Favorable B. Critical C. Objective D. Indifferent.Passage TwoPeople are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are livin

26、g longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expect to live to be about 73，a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (长寿）of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was，for example, described in the s

27、eventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller thenthe gap is growing.A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of h

28、eart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers，involved in fewer accidents).Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more

29、likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzling aspect of the problem

30、is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men

31、tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.Perhaps we are searching for the an

32、swers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物的）species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species

33、 the differences begin at the moment of conception: there are more male miscarriages (流产）.In humans, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.37.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.Mens lifespan remains almost unchanged.B.Researchers have found the causes of the age gap.C.The mo

34、re advanced a society, the greater the age gap.D.The age gap was noticed only recently.38.As is suggested in Paragraph 2，the two factors relevant to womens longer lifespan are_.A.diseases and road accidentsB.industrialization and work strainsC.their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcoholD.

35、their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39.According to Paragraph 3，which of the following statements is true?A.The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.B.The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.C.Female workers are more likely to smoke than

36、 male workers.D.Smoking does not seem to affect womens longevity.40.Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?A.Mens health is more closely related to their emotions.B.Though more liable to illnesses，women still live longer.C.Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill. D.

37、Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement.41.The word “edge” in Paragraph 6 means “_”A.margin B. side C. advantage D. quality42.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The greater longevity of women remains a mystery.B.That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.C.Peop

38、le are living longer as a result of industrialization.D.Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life.Passage Three Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, eve

39、ryone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology，

40、energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes，buildings an

41、d industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器）networks by making them difficult and expensive to install arid maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power c

42、onsumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully

43、 realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, Green Peak

44、has developed an ultra-low-powered communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, e

45、nables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanc

46、ed sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer and cleaner environment.43.By “human intervention” (Paragraph 2)，the author refers to_.A.the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB.the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableC.acts like turning off lights when no one is in the roomD.the adoption of smart sensing and network technology
