C A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months. 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 puterized wristband. 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 drivers response. Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take 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 drivers response continues to slow down, the sounds bee more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months time, are successful, the markers will bring the product to market within about a year.28. According to the text, Driver Alert _. A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratories C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months29. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert? A. By sounding a warning B. By touching the wristband C. By checking the driving timeD. By pressing the steering wheel30. We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is _. A. About 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 400 minutes31. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert _. A. moves more regularly B. sounds more frequently and loudly C. opens the window for the driver D. stops working properly D Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money? As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, its not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail. The ant-works first Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people dont care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk. The cricket-fun first The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesnt think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance. The snail-lives under pressure The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.32People with the character of the snail would like to _. Aenjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future Bput work before everything else Clive a luxury life at all costs Dtake the risk of investing a large sum of money33Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except _.Asociety Bour family Ceducation Dmoney34This passage mainly talks about _. Athe relation between man and insects Bthe spending nature of people Cthe insects in nature Dthe problems with dealing with money35Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?AThe ant.

DNone of the above.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 _36_She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked，probably thinking Id been raised by wolves in a forest._37_ Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what？”she said. “I dont dry my dishes anymore, either.” _38_One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all.

They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves._39_ So what is the solution？Theres an easy way. Decide what you want in your life，and put that first. On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family.
