四、 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D中选出最佳选项）
A
Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has
reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple
optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形),
painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they
really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile
Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to
repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons
and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how
well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role
in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the
foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its
tests in areas where speed-related hazards (危险)
are the greatest — curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that
straight, horizontal (水平的) bars painted across roads can
initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often
returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the
painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only
give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are
but also make a lane (车道) appear to be narrower. The
result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic
accidents.
41..The passage mainly discusses
__________.
A. a new way
of highway speed control B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new
approach to training drivers D. a new type of optical illusion
42.On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that __________.
A. they
should avoid speed-related hazards B. they are driving in the wrong lane
C. they
should slow down their speed D. they are approaching the speed
limit
43.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former
___________.
A. can keep
drivers awake
B. can cut
road accidents in half
C. will have
a longer effect on drivers D. will look more attractive
44.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to
__________.
A. try out
the Japanese method in certain areas
B. change
the road signs across the country
C. replace
straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D. repeat
the Japanese road patterns
45.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across
roads?
A. They are
falling out of use in the United States
B. They tend
to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.
C. They are
applicable only on broad roads.
D. They
cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.
B
Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.
46. What can be inferred about the baggage boys?
A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard.
B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
C. They were all from poor families. D. They were all thin, young boys.
47. What does the father's advice imply?
A. It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.
B. Don’t believe them if they are paying you more.
C. Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers.
D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
48. The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ________.
A. it is a totally shared experience B. it is considered as the most dangerous
C. it does great harm to human relationship D. it may lead to the loss of his sports team
49. It can be concluded from the text that ________.
A. his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up
B. working in the sports team was his most important experience
C. he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members
D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life
C
A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票) at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the ￡25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to “to help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire (里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him --- a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity (匿名) guaranteed.”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized --- and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” He asked. The professor replied: “ I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.
50．The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 implies all of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results
B．he hesitated about keeping the money for some time
C．he thought for a moment of avenging (报仇) himself on the robber
D．he came to realize that honesty is more important than money
51．Hundreds of people phoned professor Sabbatucci because they _________________
A．wanted to make fun of him B．hoped to get the money
C．knew who the robber was D．lost the lottery ticket
52．The underlined word “spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by ______________
A．accepting B．claiming C．rejecting D．canceling
53．If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be _______________.
A.A Thief’s Lucky Day B. A Popular Maths Professor
C. A Magic Lottery D. A Reward of Honesty

A 14~year-old girl died Saturday after a shark attacked her while she and a companion were swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, authorities said.
The teenagers were swimming on boogie hoards (随身体摆动的游泳板) about 100 yards offshore when they noticed a dark shadow in the water, authorities said. The other swimmer was not injured, Walton County Sheriff's spokeswoman Donna Shank said. According to Shank, both girls swam to shore, and the victim was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The girl was on vacation from Gonzales, La. , but her name was not immediately released (发布).
It was not clear what type of shark attacked her, said Stan Kirkland, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "The girl was some distance off from the shore," Kirkland said. "I don't think anyone got a good view of the shark."
The attack happened near the Camping on the Gulf Holiday Travel Park, about 45 miles east of Pensacola on the Florida Panhandle. Authorities closed about 20 miles of crowded beaches to swimming shortly after the attack. It was not immediately clear when they would reopen.
Robert Goodwin, 12, of St. Louis, Mo. , said he was ordered out of the water by authorities. "I didn't know that it was a shark when I was told to get out," he said. "I was like, what? Wow that's not cool." Goodwin's father, Mark, said the family comes to the beach every year. "It was just an eerie (不安的) feeling to see folks sitting there on the beach," he said.
Florida averaged more than 30 shark attacks a year from 2000 to 2003, but there were only 12 attacks off the state's coast last year, according to statistics offered by the American Elasmobranch Society and the Florida Museum of Natural History.
54. The passage was written to .
A. tell the danger of sharks in the sea
B. persuade local authorities to protect swimmers
C. remind teenagers of a lesson from the accident
D. report a shark attack in the Gulf of Mexico
55. According to the authorities, we can know
A. one of the two swimmers injured was on vacation
B. all the people have known the sufferer's name
C. when the shark attacked the girl, no people really caught sight of it
D. no people will be allowed to stay on the beach where tee accident happened
56. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. When the accident happened, many people were on holiday on the beach.
B. The girl swam so far that no one had a good view of the shark.
C. When Robert Goodwin knew What had happened, he perhaps felt uneasy.
D. Good win's father was afraid people sitting on the beach would drown, so he felt uneasy.
57. In the past five years, how many shark attack accidents happened in Florida?
A. 132. B. More than 132. C. 133. D. More than 133.

Most of us use the telephone several times a day to talk with friends or make social arrangements. These calls are usually quite easy and require little planning.
Using the telephone for business purpose is different. In any organization the person on the telephone represents the company and gives an impression of the firm to the outside world.
If you want to ensure good public relations, you need to master effective telephone techniques.
You should try to give an impression of an efficient, friendly, progressive company eager to give good service.
Before calling
Choose the right time. Consider the cost, urgency and convenience. When calling overseas you need to consider the time difference.
Check the number. A great deal of money is wasted each year on dialing wrong numbers.
Plan your call. Make a list of points and questions to be raised.
Be prepared. Gather any files, papers or information that may be needed during the call. It is unprofessional to have to say “Hold on while I look for that.”
If you have to ask a caller to hold on, keep going back and assuring him/ her that you will be as quick as possible.
Avoid interruptions. Call at a time when you are unlikely to be distracted.
During the call
Be courteous, polite. Make time for suitable greetings like “How are you today, Jim?” and “Did you enjoy your holiday?”
Put a smile in your voice. Remember, your caller can’t see you, so use intonation to good effect and try to sound confident, decisive, helpful and interested.
Check your notes. Look back at your notes to ensure that you have covered everything and quote figures and other data correctly.
Obtain feedback. Make sure that caller understands the message correctly, especially where deadlines and actions that are involved.
Be courteous. Finish by thanking the caller for his or her time and trouble.
After the call
Make notes. Let it become a habit to make notes of the call and place them in an appropriate file.
Take actions. If you need to send a letter of confirmation or inform someone in your organization about any details of the call, do some immediately so that you do not forget important points.
