| Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed, itenters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgement and coordination (协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected. Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee. The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is: ●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or ●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or ●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液). Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested. Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 drivingoffence points; or temporarily banned from driving. The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse. Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver, think before you drink.For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol. 1. The first paragraph is mainly about________. A. the introduction of driving skills B. the damage of drinking to your body C. the effect of drinking on driving D. the process of alcohol being absorbed 2. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to "________". A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving. B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice. C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body. D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit. 4. A driver suspected of drink driving ________. A. should provide specimens for testing B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years C. will be punished for 10 drivingoffence points D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000 |

| Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again.Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair.They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage. Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home-the highest in 15 years.Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity. To those left behind, this form of desertion (遗弃) is a terrible blow to their pride and selfconfidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable.At least it does not imply rejection or failure.Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait several years before they are free to start a fresh life. Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive."It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties.Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act.By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty." 1. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle ________. A. could not forgive him for taking the children B. had been expecting it to happen for some time C. could not understand why D. blamed herself for what had happened 2. Most people who leave their families behind them ________. A. do so without warning B. do so because of their debts C. come back immediately D. change their names 3. Which might be the title of the passage? A. Broken marriage B. New life after desertion C. A new social problem D. Desertion and its influence 4. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family. B. Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness. C. Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won't marry again. D. Eileen's husband, together with his four kids, was probably killed in an accident. |

| It's true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There's also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that:"The global warming over the last half－century has been caused mainly by human activity." You may not believe that humans could change the planet's climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gaseshold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不见的) blanket. Of course, the earth's climate has always been changing due to "natural" factors such as volcanic eruption (熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth's going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build－up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere－not the warming we would expect from other possible causes. Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: "If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren't carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?" The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths－one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn't possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 1. In most scientists' opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by________. A. solar activity B. volcanic activity C. natural factors D. human factors 2. The text is developed by________. A. giving typical examples B. following the order of space C. analyzing a theory and arguing it D. comparing and finding differences 3. The underline word "identical" in the last paragraph probably means________. A. totally different B. exactly the same C. extremely important D. partly independent 4. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific? B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to? C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming? D. What's Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases? |

| Mapping Your World Different forms of maps are appearing.They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual.Meanwhile, hitech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world.Here are two of our favorites: Green Maps Green Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local areas.Users add information with a set of icons (图标) , making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it.At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries.Green Maps' advertised idea is "think global, map local". It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranging from community gardens to good places of birdwatching. Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers.Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with the producers through the Green Maps website. Map Mashups Many people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them.Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Map Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic.The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need.It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre (古怪的), such as where America's drunkest cities are.With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multilayered (多层的) map can be created. 1. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps? A. Aiming at environmental protection. B. Introducing local attractions with icons. C. Offering advice to independent travelers. D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps. 2. Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps? A.  B.  C.  D.  3. "Map Mashups" is named with the word "mashups" because ________. A. it is produced by users all over the world B. it gathers various kinds of information C. it shares icons with Green Maps D. it is a branch of Google Maps 4. What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common? A. They are created by local people. B. They are environmentally friendly. C. Users can edit maps on the Internet. D. Users need to communicate with producers. |

| Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them.Helping them enjoy science can be easy；there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only have to share your children's curiosity.Firstly, listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of s evenyearolds to talk about science as a job.The children asked me" textbook questions" about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering,we sat facing one another in silence.Finally I said, "Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?" After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that,I get a stomachache.Why?" This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think.Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,no time for a child to think.When adults increase their " wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language.Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or" Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over.Instead, keep things going by saying" That's interesting" or" I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to"Think",It doesn't make sense.Children are always thinking, without your telling them to.What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance.The child will try to find the answer you want,in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement. Lastly, show; don't tell.Reallife impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop. 1. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interests,the most important thing for adults to do is________. A. to let them see the world around B. to share the children's curiosity C. to explain difficult phrases about science D. to supply the children with lab equipment 2. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word" lists" could best be replaced by ________. A. any questions B. any problems C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions 3. According to the passage, children  can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults________.A. ask them to answer quickly B. wait for one or two seconds after a question C. tell them to answer the next day D. wait at least for three seconds after a question 4. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion? A. The second and third. B. The fourth and fifth. C. The fifth and sixth. D. The seventh. |
