DCities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes；one is injured every nine minutes, according to official date. Crosswalk can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70 , according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The Federal Highway Administration（FHWA）advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears .FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006. But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.53. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.
Passage OneLong time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.36. The people in ancient times couldn't travel too far away places because______.A. they found it no use doing soB. they liked staying at homeC. there was no modern transportationD. they were forbidden to go to other countries
______ a little more tolerant our world would be a better place.A. Were peopleB. If people wouldC. People wereD. Would people

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____A、They are too slim.B、They work too hard.C、They are too fat.D、 They lost too much body fat.2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____A、 30.B、 50.C、100.D、150.3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D、We don't know because the information is not given4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.A、ate more food and had more physical activitiesB、ate less food but had more activitiesC、 ate less food and had less physical exerciseD、had more weight problems5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.In the second example，more people choose the option（ ）？A.with a one-third probability that nobody will dieB.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be savedC.allowing 400 people to dieD.that 200 people will be saved

共用题干第一篇Storms Sink ShipsRescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh.The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21.Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country.The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.One of the ferries,MV Mitali,was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300,police said.The second ferry carried about 100 passengers."The number of deaths is certain to rise,"said an official in charge of the rescue work."No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived."Ferries in Bangladesh don't always keep passenger lists,making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board.Besides the ferry accidents,at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes,falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh,as are boating accidents.Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people.Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures,too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh.It is a country covered by about 230 rivers.Some 20, 000 ferries use the nation's waterways（水路）every year.And many of them are dangerously overcrowded（过度拥挤）.Since 1977,more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters?A:More than 130.B:Over3,000.C:About 400.D:At least 40.

At the University of Kansas art museum,scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white;for the second,dark brown.Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly,covered more area,and spent less time in the room than people in the white one.Dark brown made people more active,but the activity ended sooner.Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside.Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.Three groups of people were used;each was shown the same photos,but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did.Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage A.People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsB.The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itC.The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorD.Beautifully furnished,light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly,dark rooms
