The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% — 40% ‎ that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue. ‎ Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband (腕带）.The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel ( 方向盘 ). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response ‘ ‎ Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would use about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. ‎ In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver's response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible. ‎ The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year. ‎ ‎21.Driver Alert is a device that can . A. keep drivers asleep. ‎ B. change drivers’ response accuracy. ‎ C. reduce the possibility of ‎ accidents. ‎ D. protect drivers when accidents happen ‎ ‎22.What does the underlined word “fatigue” in Paragraph 2 mean?

It aims to prevent drivers from sleeping. ‎ C. It has gone through testing at laboratories. ‎ D. It isn't available to drivers at the moment. ‎ B ‎ The UK may be small, but it's full of amazing tourist attractions. Exciting cities, historic places and stunning countryside, all these attract and delight visitors from around the world. Here are some of the most visited places in the UK. ‎ Stonehenge ‎ Stonehenge is prehistoric stone circle and is believed to have been constructed around 3100 BC. No one knows exactly what purpose Stonehenge served. Was it a temple for worship, a burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors manage to carry the mighty stones from so far away and then, using only the most primitive tools, build this amazing structure? Surrounded by mystery, Stonehenge never fails to impress. ‎ Tower of London ‎ The Tower of London is located on the Thames River. It is guarded by a special band of Yeomen Warders, known as Beefeaters. The Tower's history dates back to the 11th century, and each new monarch(君主) has played a role in its growth and development. It also houses Britain's famous crown jewels, a spectacular display of some of the world's finest gems and workmanship. The Tower is next to Tower Bridge. ‎ Tower Bridge ‎ Tower Bridge is one of London's most recognizable landmarks and also one of the most famous bridges in the world. Spanning(跨越) the Thames, Tower Bridge was built in 1894 after 50 architects and designers entered a competition to design a new bridge for London. Visitors can view London from the high-level walkways. You can also check the bridge lift schedule which shows times and dates when the bridge will rise for large ships. ‎ Chatsworth House ‎ The UK is dotted with a huge number of special country houses and castles, but the most beautiful one is Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire since 1549. As well as housing one of Europe's finest private art collections, the stately home also has a magical 101-acre garden, a farmyard and an adventure playground. The 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice was filmed at Chatsworth. It is believed that Jane Austen based ‎ Pemberley on this stunning estate. 25.

Jane Austen had lived there for many years. ‎ C ‎ ‎ ‎ At 13, Hawa Abdulai Yorke left her family’s home, in Ghana, Africa, to live with an aunt who promised to send her to school. Instead, the aunt put Yorke to work as her maid(佣人). Determined to go to school, Yorke returned home and began selling ‎ water in a nearby city to raise money for her education. However, her father spent the money she had earned on a motorcycle. ‎ Yorkers story is familiar to girls growing up in Ghana. There, a girl’s place is in the home. Educating girls is considered a waste of money. ‎ ‎“It happens more than it should, where parents have money to send their girls to school but choose not to,” says Ryan Roach, a volunteer in Ghana, where nearly 55% of girls are not allowed to attend secondary school. Cultural beliefs say education is not a wise investment (投资). ‎ The White House’s Let Girls Learn is working to change this view of girls’ education, in Ghana and in countries worldwide. Former First Lady Michelle Obama says parents have to be persuaded that girls’ education is a better investment than household labor. A study shows that for every year of secondary-school education, a girl’s earning power increases by 18%. Today, Let Girls Learn works in 13 countries, and there are plans to expand the program. Recently, Let Girls Learn hosted a 24-hour event to come up with creative solutions for the barriers (障碍) to girls’ education. Yorke, now 22, is about to finish high school. Thanks to Let Girls Learn, she plans to attend college and study computer science. She says working alongside college students ‎ at the Let Girls Learn event strengthened her determination. “I’m focused on my books,” says Yorke. “I know if I study hard, I, too, can go to university and live a happy life.” ‎ ‎28.What was the attitude of Yorkers aunt towards girls attending school? A. She was against it. B. She had no idea of it. ‎ C. She was in favor of it. D. She considered it hard work. ‎ ‎29.According to Ryan Roach, the reason for girls not receiving enough education is that ‎ A. they are too busy to go to school ‎ B. their families are too poor to afford it C. there are few secondary schools for girls ‎ D. cultural beliefs prevent girls from attending school 30.What can we learn about Let Girls Learn? ‎ A. It has spread all over the world. B. It is a Ghana-based organization. ‎ C. It aims to offer free education to girls. D. It has got support from Michelle Obama 31.What’s Yorke’s next plan? ‎ A. To further her studies. ‎ B. To join in Let Girls Learn. ‎ C. To write some books for girls. D. To get a computer-related job. ‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. ‎ Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked ‎ light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile. ‎ Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting! ‎ It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know ， when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. ‎ Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet ？ When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. ‎ Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have. ‎ 32. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to_ . A. make a comparison B. describe a scene ‎ C. introduce a topic D. offer an argument ‎ 32. In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was _. A. not helpful B. not considerate ‎ C. friendly D. warm-hearted ‎ 33. From “Dreams of head-cutting!” (Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer . A. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh ‎ B. was mad at the sales agent ‎ C. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams ‎ D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night 35.What is the main idea of the text? ‎ A. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication. B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success. ‎ C. Receiving bad news requires great courage. ‎ A. Learning ancient traditions can be useful. ‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） ‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ There are three things that will get you ahead in life: good looks, smarts, and being considered as being smart. 36. And unluc kily most of us are not good-looking. Let’s explore some different ways to become smarter. ‎ ‎37. College doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be smarter, just educated. It means you’ll be exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you’ll learn how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess. Read books and educational magazines.38. Educational magazines are a wealth of knowledge you can share with others, thus making you sound very ‎ smart. If you do watch television, try watching something that you can learn. ‎ Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It doesn’t seem like much, but adding 52 new words to your vocabulary will really make you appear much smarter. Subscribing ( 订阅 ) to vocabulary.com is a good start.39. This way you’re actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb. ‎ Don’t repeat everything people tell you until you know that it’s true.40. They hear a strange claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your seek for being smart if you are known for giving bad information. ‎ A. Go to college and get an education. B. The first is God-given. ‎ C. Get educated inside or outside college. ‎ D. You will have a new word sent to your email address daily. ‎ E. The programs actually provide you with information you can use. ‎ F. Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this. G. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） ‎ One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to manage time.

My parents didn’t force me to go to bed early. Thus, I usually fall asleep before the New Year arrived. It wasn’t until my 10th birthday when I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family. I woke up happily next morning.

There’s no doubt that schools will be better known. What’s more, it’s good for students to develop interest in English study as well as learn more about foreign cultures. Meanwhile, students’ oral English will be improved a lot. ‎ On the other hand, it costs a lot to employ foreign teachers. In addition, some foreign teachers are not quite familiar with the students. As a result, many ‎ students can’t benefit from them. ‎ From my point of view, what really matters is that we students should pay more attention to our study and practice more by ourselves. Of course, it will be better for us to improve our spoken English with the help of foreign teachers. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
