13、分）第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AThe men who race the cars are generally small, with a tight, nervous look. They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s, and it is usually their nerves that go first.Fear is the drivers constant companion, and tragedy can be
14、just a step behind. Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes. The mark of the plastic surgeon is everywhere, and burned skin is common. Sometimes a drivers scars are invisible, part of his heritage. Two young drivers, Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen, raced in their
15、first 500 in 1968. Less than 20 years before, their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy trackand died there.All this the drivers accept. Over the years, they have learned to trust their own techniques, reflexes, and courage. They depend, too, on a trusted servantscientific engineer
16、ing. Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling (an exception is New Zealands Bruce McLaren, who has an engineering degree), many drivers are gifted mechanics, with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy, with six-figure incomes
17、 from prize money, endorsements, and jobs with auto-product manufacturers. Some have businesses of their own. McLaren designs racing chassis (底盘). Dan Gurneys California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500, including his own second place car.Yet mone
18、y is not the only reason why men race cars. Perhaps it isnt even the major reason. Three-time Indy winner(1961, 1964, 1967) A. J. Foyt, for example, can frequently be found competing on dirty tracks in minor-league races, where money, crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is no
19、t. Why does he do it? Sometimes Foyt answers, Its in my blood. Other times he says, Its good practice. Now and then he replies, Dont ask dumb questions. 26. The statement it is usually their nerves that go first means_.A. at first they all have a nervous lookB. they often find they cant bear the ten
20、sion even if they are in good conditionC. someday they find they cant make responses to any riskD. they can continue their career at most until the middle 40s27. It can be inferred that a car accident is often coupled with_.A. a plastic surgeon B. a companion C. a risk D. a fire28. The invisible sca
21、rs of the drivers mentioned in the second paragraph refers to_.A. the regrets left by their fathers B. the fears left by their fathersC. the cars left by their fathers D. the heritage left by their fathers29. Bruce McLaren is different from most of the drivers in that_.A. he himself designs chassis
22、B. he has an engineering degreeC. he manufactures chassis D. he is a gifted mechanic30. A. J. Foyt often takes part in minor-league races for_.A. prize money B. blood testC. cheers from the crowd D. Enjoyment BTobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for the death o
23、f one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, that is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco. Tobacco is the fourth most common
24、risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners(养家糊口的人) and nations
25、of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries.Tobacco and pove
26、rty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a
27、 higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead. 31. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Smoking causes 10 percent of the deaths worldwide.B. About 10 million people will die from smoking each year by
28、2020.C. Half the people in the world will be killed by smoking.D. Roughly there are 1,300 million smokers nowadays.32. According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _.A. relationshipB. educationC. healthD. economy33. The text uses a lot of figures to _.A. show we
29、 shouldnt smoke too muchB. tell people exactly the numberC. warn people of the harm of smokingD. indicate the writer had a careful investigation34. The underlined word “illiteracy” in the last paragraph means _.A. great intelligence B. good education C. bad behaviors D. inability to read or write35.
30、 What is the best title of the passage?A. Tobacco Should Be Banned.B. Why Is Tobacco a Major Threat to Public Health.C. Tobacco and Poverty Go Hand in Hand.D. Tobacco May Cause Death. CSome years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided togo for a swim in the old swimming hole b
31、ehind his house. He flew into the water,not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake,a crocodile was swimming toward the shore. His mother in the house was looking out the window saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear,she ran toward the water,yelling to her
32、son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her,the crocodile reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as thealligator snatched his legs. That began an i
33、ncredible tug-of-war betweenthe two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the motherwas much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard herscreams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile.Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little
34、boy were deep scratches where his mothers fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved. The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the re

38、iers to telepathically communicate with one another on the battlefield. The technology, which seems like something out of a science fiction novel, would use electrodes to pick up code words that soldiers were thinking. Those codewords would then be transmitted back to a computer where the soldiers p
39、osition and message-telling, for instance, that it is safe to progress towards a target- which would be transmitted to their peers in the field. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was established in 1958 and was dedicated to expanding the Department of Defense technology usage, so
40、me of which included state-of-the-art, and top secret, research into the mind. Based largely out of University of California-Irvine, in conjunctThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencyion with labs in Philadelphia and Maryland, scientists are trying to improve so-called synthetic telepathy so t
41、hat it could be used in a battlefield.At this point, they have set their sights on 2017 as the year when their plan may turn into silent action.So far, 45 percent of the commands that are transmitted from one volunteer to another- like call in helicopter or enemy ahead- are correct. That statistic i
42、s expected to improve. According to a soldier quoted in Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper, many of those people who will be the ones utilizing the technology are on board. Others, including civil rights activists, take the opposite view, bringing up concerns about a possible infringement on
43、civil liberties if the technology were to be misused.41. According to the passage all the following are right EXCEPT that _. A.
