              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 75percent using a simple optical illusion．But 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 （too great） 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 （danger） are the greatest curves （曲线），exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges．
              Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can initially（最初） 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 appear to be narrower．The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents．

              (1) The passage mainly discusses ______ ．
              A. a new way of highway speed control
              B. a new pattern for painting highways
              C. a new way of training drivers
              D. a new type of optical illusion
              (2) 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 coming near to the speed limit
              (3) 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 look more attractive
              D. will have a longer effect on drivers
              (4) 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
              (5) What does the author say about straight，horizontal bars painted across roads？ ______
              A. They are suitable only on broad roads．
              B. They are falling out of use in the United States．
              C. They are ignored in a long period of time．
              D. They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles．

              Whether or not to go university will probably be the biggest educational decision you ever make．After battling with student finance，deciding whether or not to take a year out can be as terrifying as deciding where to move to for the three years．
              Some students will have planned their year out for months，but，for others，slipped grades may force a gap year （间隔年），either to retake exams or to apply to different universities．Others might just need time to think．Thankfully，for U．K．Students，taking a gap year remains a good option and it can be one of the most productive and fulfilling years of their life．
              Whether you've planned and budgeted for a year abroad，or have made a last-minute decision to delay your first year，the options are endless．Traveling，volunteering and so on are all there for the talking，With so many things on offer，it's important to remember that 12months won't be enough time to do all of them，so decide early and work towards making whatever you want to do a reality．
              Researching a gap year is exciting，and often the place to start is at home．Family and fiends can be a great source of inspiration．Your school or college might fully equipped to advise you on what to do when further education is on hold．Don't understimate（低估）the power of the Internet，either．Typing a"gap year"into a search engine might seem too obvious，but planning to travel around the world for months on your own is not appropriate．
              To stay at home or go abroad is likely to be the first question you consider，but in this era of budget flights，doing both is practicable．A European inter-rail ticket（火车票）can be as little as£159．For those loving traveling，they must be on the special watchfulness for tricks in the process．Agencies can organize your year abroad for you，and often，it is more effective to make the bookings through the agencies．But flights and other forms of transport within Asia and America are much cheaper when bought in the countries rather than bought in advance．

              (1) According to Paragragh 2，why do other students have to take a gap year？ ______
              A. Because they are faced with financial problems
              B. Because they dislike what they are learning
              C. Because they haven't got satisfying grades
              D. Because they intend to hang out for a year
              (2) The underline words"on hold"in Paragragh 4mean" ______ "
              A. taken in B. Put off C. Given up D. Turned put
              (3) What can we learn from the last paragragh？ ______
              A. Few students can afford to go abroad
              B. Traveling around Europe costs nothing
              C. It's better to go to Asia and south America
              D. Travellers should make sure they aren't cheated
              (4) The auther's attitude towards a gap year may best described as ______
              A. Supportive B. negative C. Defensive D. Sensitive．

              How do you spend your time？To get it，Paul T．Rankin asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate，detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours．He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only-communication．Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories，they discovered that，vocabulary，more than any other factor yet known，predicts financial success．New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators．What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary？But how？
              Hybrid （杂交产生的） corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity．A hybrid approach to vocabulary should，in the same way，ensure maximum results．That's why you should use the CPD formula．
              Through Context．When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading，84percent said，"Look it up in the dictionary．"If you do，however，you short-circuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive．
              But there's another reason．Suppose someone asks you what the word"fast"means．You answer，"speedy or swift"．But does it mean that in such context as"fast color"or"fast friend"？And if a horse is fast，is it securely tied or galloping at top speed？It could be either．It all depends．On the dictionary？No，on the context．After all，there are over twenty different meanings for"fast"in the dictionary．But the dictionary doesn't tell you which meaning is intended．That's why it makes such good sense to begin with context．
              Through Word Parts．Now for the next step．Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts，which，if recognized，provide definite help with meaning．Take the word"monolithic"for example．Try to separate the parts．There is the prefix mono-，meaning"one"，and the root-lith，meaning"stone"．Finally，there's the suffix-ic，meaning"consisting of"．Those three parts add up to this definition："consisting of one stone"．
              To speed up your use of word parts，you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language．The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14，000words．With those amazingly useful shortcuts，you can build up vocabulary，not at a snail's pace，one word at a time，but in giant leaps，up to a thousand words at a time．
              Through the Dictionary．Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last，not first．You've looked carefully at the context．You've looked for familiar word parts．Now you play Sherlock Homes．In light of context or word parts，you try to solve a mystery．What exactly does that strange word mean？Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative （不确定的） definition should you open the dictionary to see if you're right．
              You are now personally involved．Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning．It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress．And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected，what a feeling of accomplishment is yours．In that way，the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness．
              Well，there it is，your new formula-Context，Parts，Dictionary．Use it!The results will be like the money in the bank．

              (1) The research findings of the Human Engineering Laboratories show that ______ ．
              A. intelligence and vocabularies are closely related
              B. income and vocabularies are closely related
              C. people of large vocabularies are bound to succeed in the future
              D. vocabulary is of great importance to a student's academic performance
              (2) What would most college students do while coming across an unfamiliar word？ ______
              A. Seek help from others．
              B. Infer the meaning through context．
              C. Look for familiar word parts．
              D. Consult the dictionary．
              (3) What does"monolingual"mean according to the passage？ ______
              A. Involving only one language．
              B. Using two languages．
              C. Speaking or using many languages．
              D. Involving more than one language．
              (4) This passage is meant to teach readers how to ______ ．
              A. use the dictionary
              B. build up vocabulary through context
              C. extend vocabulary with the help of dictionaries

            • 8．
              Before 1840architects and builders made buildings from stone，brick，or wood．The outside walls held up the weight of the building．A building that had more than a few stories became very heavy．A tall building，such as a castle，had very thick walls．
              As time went by，architecture began to change．By 1850builders had begun to use a metal called iron for the fronts of some large buildings．Iron is lighter than stone and stronger than wood．People dig raw iron from the ground，but raw iron is not enough to use in buildings．Builders must use another type of iron called an alloy．
              An alloy is a metal that contains different metals and other compounds，or mixtures of chemicals．The metals and compounds are melted and mixed together to form the alloy．To make an iron alloy，workers use a blast furnace．This machine creates great heat．It has a tall chamber that is lined with brick and open at the top．Workers put limestone，raw iron，and coke （a substance made from coal） into the top of the furnace．They force hot air into the bottom of the furnace．The hot air and a chemical reaction turn the materials into a liquid mass．Workers pour off waste liquid，called slag，and save the iron．Then they form the hot iron into large blocks called pigs，which can be formed into objects．This formed iron is called cast iron．
              Cast iron is strong，but it still contains unwanted materials．People wanted to remove these impurities．To do this，they needed to heat the iron to very high temperature．Blast furnaces could not make that much heat．
              In England in 1855，Sir Henry Bessemer found the solution．He forced air through liquid pig iron．The oxygen in the air mixed with the impurities in the iron in a process called oxidation．Oxidation creates heat．The heat turns impurities into slag，which is poured off so that only pure steel remains．Pure steel is much stronger than iron．The Bessemer process took place in an egg-shaped machine called a converter．With this process，workers began to make large amounts of steel quickly and cheaply．
              By the late 1800s，many people lived in big cities．The price of land increased，one way builders could lower costs was to build taller buildings，which used less land．In Chicago in 1889，George A．Fuller completed the Tacoma Buildings，which had steel beams to hold up its weight．Soon people built more tall buildings with 10to 20stories．These were the first skyscrapers．

              (1) Alloys are important because they ______ ．
              A. have no impurities
              B. are the raw materials that people use to make iron
              C. may be more useful than the separate metals in the alloy
              D. contain different metals
              (2) The Bessemer process was a success because it produced ______ ．
              A. iron from steel
              B. steel quickly and cheaply
              C. less slag than a blast furnace
              D. impurities in the iron
              (3) Sir Henry Bessemer probably ______ ．
              A. avoided difficult problems
              B. created slag into pure steel
              C. was not familiar with metals such as steel
              D. knew how to make cast iron
              (4) From the article，you can conclude that architects throughout history ______ ．
              A. thought carefully about materials when they designed buildings
              B. could not design creative buildings until steel was invented
              C. disliked stone，brick，and wood
              D. liked to design tall buildings
              (5) Which of the statements below expresses the main idea of the article？ ______
              A. Discoveries about iron and steel have allowed people to build taller buildings．
              B. Sir Henry Bessemer developed a process to make steel．
              C. Architects use many kinds of materials in buildings．
              D. Changes about designing building．
