25、t one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. Passage1Until last spring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on BUS 59. but as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to c

26、ut its transportation costs. So the schools busing company redrew its route map. Eliminating Nias bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus”-a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together. Like the rest of us, schoo

27、l districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costsand finding new ways to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, s

28、ince it doesnt affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget. Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to

29、a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in . Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished. Schools and busin

30、g companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine t

31、he most fuel-efficient routes, which arent always the shortest ones. There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, its an environmental winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprin

32、t can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the lon

33、g morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill. 31. The “walking school bus” _. A. does not consume fuelB. aims to keep children fit C. seldom causes traffic jamsD. is popular with school kids32. In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with _. A. individ

34、ual schoolsB. school districts C. teachersD. parents33. As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the _. A. time spent on the wayB. changes in the route C. kids physical strength D. safety of their children 34. To save money, some schools choose to _. A. take the shortest

35、 routesB. shorten the school week C. give drivers better trainingD. use fuel-efficient buses 35. Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to _. fiercer competition among bus companiesmore students taking public transportationan increase in carbon dioxide emissionsa decrease in the safety of school buses

36、36. Which of the following best describes the authors attitude towards busing cutbacks? A. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Objective D. Indifferent. Passage 2People are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in can expect to live

37、 to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then- the gap is growing. A

38、number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologist also tell us that women are encouraged t

39、o be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in a fewer accident.)Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begi

40、n to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply. One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far m

41、ore illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious. Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be mo

42、re weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness. Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper

43、 in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳動(dòng)物)species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscar

44、riages (流產(chǎn)). In humans, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die. 37. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? Mens lifespan remains almost unchanged. Researchers have found the causes of the age gap.The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap. The age gap was noticed only re

45、cently. 38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to womens longer lifespan are _.disease and road accidents. Industrialization and work strainsTheir immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcoholTheir endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39. According to Paragr

46、aph 3, which of the following statements is true? The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap. The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap. Female workers are more likely to smoke than male workers. Smoking does not seem to alter womens long longevity. 40. Which of th

47、e following phenomena makes researchers puzzled? Mens health is more closely related to their emotions. Though more liable to illnesses, women still live longer. Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill. Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement. 41. The word “edge” in Parag

48、raph 6 means “_”. A. marginB. sideC. advantageD. quality42. What is the main idea of the passage? The greater longevity of women remains a mystery. That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.People are living longer as a result of industrialization. Women are less emotionally af

49、fected by difficulties in life. Passage 3Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, wh

50、en employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature. Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can

51、be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants. Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limit

52、ed the widespread adoption of sensor (傳感器) networks by making them difficult and installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or

53、thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis. The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can ut

54、ilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread employment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing

55、 on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment. Wireless sensor networks deployed in our officers and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily l

56、ives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a m

57、ore comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment. 43. By “human intervention” (Paragraph 2), the author refers to _.the reduction of great energy waste in the environment the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableacts like turning off lights when no one is in the room the adoption of sma

58、rt sensing and network technology 44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they _.have to be replaced from time to timeContain metals that pollute the environmentRequire automatic rechargingAre difficult and costly to maintain 45. Battery-free wireless sensor networks

59、 are made possibly by the fact that _.there is energy in the environment to be utilized the cost of using them has been drastically reduced modern data communication consumes little energy their maintenance has been greatly simplified 46. According to the passage, GreenPeak _. is the first company t

60、o install wireless sensor networks. Promotes the application of wireless sensor networks Supplies batteries operating on harvested energy Benefits handsomely from communication technology 47. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the _. replacement of batteries in harvestersmonitoring of energy harvested f
