16、will be clamped (扣留)until they pay-and they will face an additional fee of 80 for getting back their vehicles.The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to
17、 court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.Three millio
18、n foreignregistered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than Britishregistered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47
19、 percent between 2003 and 2008.There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries
20、 are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries.

25、W) tracked 7,122 online auctions and advertisements involving the illegal trade in wild animals and found that the Internet is posing a major challenge to wildlife conservation, with China ranked third after the United States and the United Kingdom among 11 countries investigated with respect to vol
26、ume of illegal trade.“Among the online auctions and ads, 544 took place in China. More than half of the auctions and ads are posted on the T website,” the investigation said. The prevalent wildlife trade violations identified in China during the investigation concerned elephant ivory, followed by re
27、ptiles, especially sea turtles. The two accounted for nearly 90 percent of the total advertisements observed, according to the investigation.“The online trade of wild animals is developing into an urgent problem, because the Internet provides a hidden stage for illegal traders,” Meng Xianlin, deputy
28、 director of the Endangered Species Import and Export Management Office, said on Thursday.Early in 2005, the State Forestry Administration (SFA), an agency tasked with implementing wildlife controls, said,” it will crack down on online trading of endangered species.” In order to crack down on online
29、 animal sales, the IFAW and T jointly launched a month-long campaign on Thursday.T will put a notice on its homepage to encourage people to inform it of the sale of wildlife. People who report illegal activities can get IFAW gifts and wildlife conservation information.“It is extremely satisfying to
30、see the results of our investigation get the attention of society,” Ge Rui, IFAWs Asia regional director, said. “Money earned in the illegal international trade in wildlife is second only to the international trade in illegal drugs and arms. Humans greed drives the trade,” Feng Yonglin, an SFA offic
31、ial, said on Thursday.“This year, T discovered 1,420 sales involving illegal trade in wild animals and blocked 263 members and stores online,” Ni Liang, senior manager of Taobao, said on Thursday.Investigators noted a large bowl made from rhinoceros horn that was among the most expensive listings di

36、e from Illegal Internet TradeC. The Investigation about the Sale of WildlifeD. The Criticism against Online TradeCSometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces sp
37、ecially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads？Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that t
38、heir building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heatcollector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the grou
39、nd.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street run
40、s through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes
41、 into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs？_A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B. Large, f
42、lat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.C. The Dutch engineers system has been widely used.D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.66.For what purpose are the diving pipes used？_A. To absorb heat from the sun.B. To store heat for future use.C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.D.
43、 To carry heat down below the surface.67.From the last paragraph we can learn that_.A. some pipes have to be rearranged in winterB. the system can do more than warming up the buildingC. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer68.W
44、hat is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows？_A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C. How the system cools the building in summer.D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.DHave you ever wondered why birds sing？
45、Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to othe
46、r birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is？ A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species(物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only
47、 your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider
48、almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn o
49、thers not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.69.Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually_.A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warningC. an ex
50、pression of angerD. a way of greeting70.What is a birds “territory”？ _A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.71.Why do bi
51、rds keep on singing at nesting season？_A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.72.How does the writer explain birds singing？_A. By comparing
52、birds with human beings. B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds daily life. D. By telling a birds story.EIn every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. Lets say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pret
53、ty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour.
54、Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher. Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You m
55、ay have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to bow out mannerly. Youll have the sat
56、isfaction of standing on your own two feet. 73. Which is the best title for this passage? _A. Follow the Lead. B. Top Crowd. C. Being Yourself. D. Bright Red. 74. The author doesnt think it good wearing red sweaters if _. A. the crowd does itB. you cant afford them C. you dont look good in redD. the
57、 situation isnt safe 75. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd _. A. sometimes do things against their better judgment B. make mistakes blindly C. are willing to put their lives in danger D. will in the end become pace-setters 第卷（非选择题,共45分）第四部分 写作（共2节,满分45分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,满分15分）
58、The blood type diet was invented in the late 1990s by a man called Peter DAmato. His main principle was that human beings have evolved(进化) over time and that our diets have adapted to suit our blood types.According to DAmato, people who have type O blood (the majority) should do a lot of exercise an
59、d eat plenty of red meat. Fruit and vegetables are okay, but people with blood type O should cut down on dairy and grain foods.People with blood type A should try and cut down on meats and adopt a more vegetarian diet-but they can also eat a little fish and chicken from time to time. The diet sugges

61、ineapple, soy, greens, etc.The type blood diet probably works, because watching what you eat will have some effect on your weight. But there cannot be any scientific theory behind isolating whole or partial food groups from your diet, and in fact it could put you in danger of nutritional shortage.Ba
