16、 of dollars and hundreds of lives in danger. OK, thats not true. But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday to compete for the title of 2012s Worlds Biggest Liar.Each participant is given up to five minutes to make up the best lie in the competition, which was started in honor of 19t
17、h-century Bridge Inn owner Will Ritson, who was reportedly famous for his lies. Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition, a small pub in northwestern England. Anyone can take part in the competition. Well, almost anyway; the reporters note that lawyers and politicians are
18、banned, who is said to enjoy an unfair advantage in the proceedings (进程).A study published this past July in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior found that nearly all lies are detectable through visible facial muscle (肌肉) reactions in the person telling a lie. “Thus, while interpersonal deception
19、 (欺骗) often is highly successful, signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer,” the study concluded.A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition, simply stating, I have never told a lie in my life.In 2003,
20、 Abrie Krueger of South Africa became the first non-Brit to win the competition. Ironically, Krueger was accused by some of cheating.In 2006, comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition, telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change.Last year

Glen BoylandBMistrust Mars Zhengzhou Ride-share EffortMore than 300 private car owners from a central Chinese city volunteered to offer free rides to citizens to ease crowded public transportation, but
25、many local people didnt accept the offer for fear of being cheated.The ride-share program was begun in October in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, when Ye Zhantong, a private car driver, started to gather volunteers to offer the free service. The drivers tied a green silk ribbon (丝带) on the car
26、 to differentiate themselves from unlicensed taxi drivers. But the free rides havent been popular among the public as increasing reports of dishonesty have dried up many local citizens trust towards strangers.Ye said some of the volunteers have dropped out after they felt their kind intention was be
27、ing questioned. Passers-by walking in heavy rainfall or passengers who missed a bus would remain silent and walk away when the volunteers would stop and offer a ride.“Its so common that people give us the cold shoulder, and sometimes, take our kindness as ill will,” said one of Yes volunteers, ident
28、ified as Binge. “Many would even say: Lets get out of here quickly to avoid being cheated by him.” Some commenters on Weibo explained why they hesitated to participate in a ride-share program. “Trusting a stranger might bring huge risks. I cant take the risk,” one Internet user wrote.Some said Yes g
29、roup wasnt authorized, and cheaters pretending to be kind drivers might volunteer. They suggested traffic authorities issue rules to regulate, protect and promote ride-share programs.61.

32、” in the title possibly means “ _”.A. make sth. work the way it should B. make sth. less attractive or enjoyableC. help sth. to develop or increase D. damage sth. so badly that it no longer existsCPulling luggage through the airport can be a pain, as any frequent traveler will tell you. A new suitca
33、se called only “Hop” is looking to change all of that, though, using signals from your cell phone to go hands-free. According to Hops official website, the suitcase uses three sensors (感应器) to identify the Bluetooth signal from your phone and pick you out of a crowd. Once its done that, a microproce
34、ssor not only figures out Hops position as it relates to your phone, but controls the two caterpillar tracks (履带) in the bottom of the unit to get it moving. Hop follows behind the user at a constant distance, so you dont have to worry about it “stepping” on your heels, so to speak. If it loses the
35、signal its following, your phone will vibrate, letting you know that your poor suitcase is lost and alone in a sea of strange people.We can see Hop in action in the video below, and we have to say that it looks like a great little device. Theres just one problem: it looks as if youll have to walk at
36、 a relatively slow pace to keep the suitcase from losing the signal. Since a walk through an airport is rarely a leisurely experience, that could potentially cause troubles. Also, dont expect TSA agents to just smile and wave as you walk through security with a remote-controlled suitcase tailing you
37、.Still, the idea behind Hop is really cool, and were willing to believe that there are some frequent flyers who would like to put down some money for it right this instant. However, this is just a model at the moment, so dont expect it to be available for sale anytime soon (if it ever is, for that m
38、atter). Would you purchase one of these if Hop ever became available commercially?66. What is “to go hands-free”?A. The new suitcase.B. Your cell phone.C. Signals from your cell phone.D. Frequent travelers.67. Which paragraph tells about how Hop works?A. Paragraph One. B. Paragraph Two.C. Paragraph
39、Three. D. Paragraph Four.68. The article is probably taken from _.A. Hops official websiteB. a website of worldwide newsC. a Western newspaperD. a Chinese newspaper69. According to the article, Hop may run into trouble because _.A. your cell phone fails to tell you Hop is lostB. its caterpillar trac
40、ks arent powerful enoughC. you usually walk too fast for Hop to followD. TSA agents wont be patient enough70. What does the writer think of the invention?A. Hop will be in production soon.B. Hop is sure to be popular someday.C. Its silly to have thought of that.D. Hop might never go on sale.DThere i

To enrich the cultural and artistic life of the people in Guangzhou, the abandoned factories reopened in 2009 displaying art, fashion and culture of different forms. Redtory is home tomore than 40establishments including art galleries, themed restaurants and des
45、ign studios. Large international cultural exchange activities, art exhibitions and seminars are often held here, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Meanwhile, waste materials have been used wisely instead of being thrown away. For instance, someinstallations (设施) standing aroun
46、d the area are made up of the rusty machines or components from the old canning factory.The shabby and nostalgic (怀旧的) appearance combined with fashionable and artistic features makes Redtory uniquely attractive. That may be the reason that Redtory is considered the holy land for young art-lovers in

A man has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly. Several passers-b
52、y stop to help the man. One woman reaches into her purse for her cell phone and hits 911, the emergency number. Three minutes later, sirens (警报) are heard in the distance as a police car, an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area. Within ten minutes, the stricken man is in the back of an ambula
53、nce and went to the hospital for life-saving treatment.2 This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities. Over the years, cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies. It has resulted in many lives being saved. But none of this _ without the cooperation of car driver
54、s who yield (让路) to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets. In fact, its against the law for drivers not to yield.3 To yield means to give away or, more specifically, to get out of the way. It means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass. As yet, China does not have any specific law
55、s that require drivers to yield, whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles. Recently, an injured Beijing cyclist died on the way to hospital because the ambulance carrying him got stuck in city traffic. Drivers did no
56、t yield when they heard the ambulances siren.4 In Canada, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle can result in a fine of $400-$2,000 and reduction of three points off your license. Thats for a first offence. A second offence results in a bigger fine, the loss of your drivers license for two years
57、and a possible jail sentence. The punishment is severe because lives are in danger.5 Safe driving depends on drivers being aware of the traffic around them and yielding when necessary. And yielding to emergency vehicles only makes sense. It saves lives and, who knows, someday it may save your own.76
58、.How does the author introduce the topic of the text? (no more than 5 words)77. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.( no more than 5 words)78. What should China do to prevent repetition of the Beijing case? (no more than 10 words)79. Whats Paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 12 words)80. Why does necessary yielding make sense?
