| While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians (行人). Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently, and with higher blood alcohol levels, than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10, which by law in many states signifies intoxication (醉酒), compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data. Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death. "We're dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem," said Richard Bloomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon. Bloomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council's Transportation Research Board (TRB) in Washington in January. Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Culprits, who chairs the board's committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been confused about how to prevent disasters. |
| 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Traffic Safety. B. Drunken Drivers. C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents. D. A Severe Highway Safety problem. |
| 2. Among the causes of walkers' accidents, the most serious problem is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attention to traffic rules B. alcohol C. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents D. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time |
| 3. According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood alcohol level in deadly accidents _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. make up one seventh of highway accidents B. are 2,500 a year C. are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidents D. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level |
| 4. According to the passage, what is Bloomberg? |

| The unquestioned role of a student is to learn as much as possible through whatever means it takes to acquire knowledge. Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect. No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study. Having certain skepticism (质疑) about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation. Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn. Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force each student to learn. The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student. If the teacher, for whatever reason, cannot motivate the student, then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself. One method of doing this is by becoming an active rather than a passive student. The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying, the better he or she can learn. One of the best ways to become more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions. Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn. Better education comes from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of information. Having a healthy skepticism can improve a student's ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation. Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all of the time, even in a classroom situation. Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct. A student's question could prevent an entire classroom from becoming confused or misinformed. There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism, and just being a downright skeptic. But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism, both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency. |
| 1. Which of the following is the author's main argument? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Passive learning results from passive teaching in class. B. A student's ability plays a huge role in the learning process. C. A healthy skepticism fully depends on students' motivation and ability. D. A healthy skepticism and proper attitude contribute to effective learning. |
| 2. Being passive learners, the students _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. use little of their mental ability while studying B. seldom involve themselves completely in learning C. can hardly tell the right from the wrong in class D. simply ask their teachers questions without thinking |
| 3. According to the passage, a good teacher should _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. help the unmotivated students patiently B. instruct students in the learning process C. make no mistakes in the teaching process D. answer all the questions raised by students |

| Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of meomories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after wars. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve( 减轻) a lot of that suffering." But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes in the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I am not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out." said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. |
| 1. What's the main idea of this passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. People often suffer from bad memories. B. American researchers are trying to develop a pill. C. Forget bad memories, and be happy. D. The research has caused a heated argument. |
| 2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to "_____". |
|
[ ] |
| A. the new drug B. the research into the drug C. the bad memory D. the chemical in the drug |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents (反对者)? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Our memories give us our identity. B. The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past. C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases. D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out. |
