Dr. Kinnear and his colleagues have urged vehicle-safety bodies to impose standards that limit the use of overly distracting tasks on a cars touchscreen.C.

9、 To discover how badly touchscreens distract drivers, Neale Kinnear and his colleagues arranged a series of experiments.D. Or else, you can turn to voice control.E. On the second trip they had to do the same, but using only the cars voice-activated controls instead.F. As they expected, drivers using

10、 touchscreens took longer to respond to the flashing bar than did those using voice controls.Step inside most modern cars and instead of all the dials and switches that used to clutter the dashboard（仪器板）you are likely to find it dominated by a touchscreen. Often there is more than one screen, and so

11、me are bigger than those on a laptop. But, though convenient, touchscreens can also be dangerous distractions.67 They recruited two groups of 20 drivers. One consisted of regular users of Googles Android Auto while the others were supporters of Apple CarPlay. Each participant pleted three 15-minute

12、journeys along a set virtual route using the laboratorys sophisticated driving simulator. On one of these trips they had to carry out tasks using only the touchscreen, which included navigating to a restaurant, playing a particular song on Spotify （a music service）, changing radio channels, getting

13、the system to read out a text message, and making a “hands-free telephone call, 68 The third journey was a control, with no assigned tasks.Whenever a red bar flashed on the windscreen the researchers measured how long it took a driver to react by pulling the indicator stalk（柄）to flash the cars light

14、s. 69 Though the difference might be less than a second, at motorway speeds this would result in an increased stopping distance of up to 25 metres.Dr. Kinnear was, however, surprised by the amount of time drivers1 attention was diverted by the series of glances needed to operate the screen. Among th

15、e worst outes were a mean of 20 seconds of cumulative glances using Android Auto to play a song on Spotify, and of 16 seconds to set up the route to a restaurant with CarPlay. 70 The researchers thus believe voice-activation is a safer alternative that should be encouraged, though the software needs

16、 to be improved.第二卷（50分）IV. Summary Writing （10 分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Why Take a Gap YearWhen youve finished your studies at school and college, do

17、you feel like a well-earned rest? If youre about to embark on a course at university, youll want to recharge your batteries, relax and have some fun. But how long should you do that for? Now the idea of taking a year off before you move into further education seems to be the thing to do.A year off -

18、 also called a gap year - is not a new concept, but there9s now a focus on making the most of this break from academic life. Long gone are the days of just hanging out on a beach or backpacking round the world. A gap year is now more about gaining skills that will help you in later life. A student,

19、called Meg, said “I always want to spend a year doing something productive and something that would just be good flm.”Doing something productive is exactly what students are being encouraged to do because doing more purposeful things like work experience or charity work helps them acquire skills to

20、use when peting for a place at university. It looks good on their CV and ultimately makes them more employable. Chris Rea, a Higher Education Services Manager, thinks “the experience of the gap year has bee actually much more practical, partly to do with university participation and employability sk

21、ills development.”While the benefits of taking a gap year are clear to see, some students worry they cant afford it. Another student, Tom, thought a gap year was an alien concept5. He said “it would have been far too expensive and its not something that I would have been able to rely on my parents f

22、or.”For those who do have the funds, a bination of working, volunteering and travelling is undoubtedly an amazing opportunity. It increases confidence and independence, gives you a chance to learn new crafts, and gives you time to contemplate whether university is right for you.V. Translation （15 分）
