They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.Well, heres a surprising thing: what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? Its a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at whats happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety.There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 following rules such as pulsory seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995.Last year, the road deaths dropped below 5,000 for the first time, or 4.9 per cent less than xx. paring road deaths to population in xx, thats about 817 per million people pared with Australias 806.And guess what? Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.Okay, you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-ine, but it seems in France theres been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are ing. Theres even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.Maybe it is because of such transparency by government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras.68. Generally, it seems to most people that speed cameras are used to .A. make money for the governmentB. slow down the trafficC. lower the road accidentsD. help us drive properly69. From the passage we can learn that .A. France has a very poor record of road safetyB. wed better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save livesC. France had less road deaths than Australia in xxD. France does successfully in controlling road accidents70. Which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in France according to this passage? A. pulsory seat belt.B. Lowering blood alcohol limit.C. Placing more speed cameras.D. Eating in a shorter time.71. Now you can seldom see in France .A. people drive at a speed of less than 130km/hB. lunch time lasts long hours with drunk people rushing back to officeC. drivers drive according to the traffic lightsD. police conduct traffic in streets EThe octopuss(章鱼) reputation as a human-killer isnt simply an exaggeration(夸张)it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural victims. Some shellfish(壳类动物) and an occasional sick or incautious fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed hunter, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even the largest among octopi is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to swallow a ship, as monster octopi in movies have been known to do, the largest octopus, found on the Pacific coast, weighs around 110 pounds and grows to no more than ten feet in width.The hard, parrot-like beak(喙) of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open shellfish. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. Instead, it feeds by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A shellfish that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely dare to go close enough to these careful creatures to get a good look at them.72. This passage is mainly about . A. the horrors of the octopusB. the largest octopus in the worldC. octopi and their behaviourD. the octopuss deadly hunting method73. It is implied but not stated in the passage that .A. people have unreasonable fears about the octopusB. the octopus is not interested in human beingsC. the octopus is afraid of human beingsD. the octopus is a very cruel sea animal74. The hard beak of the octopus is used for . A. attacking deep-sea diversB. cutting up large pieces of meatC. cutting open its victimsD. defending itself75. From the passage, we can conclude that .A. the octopus is not dangerous to manB. people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC. the octopus only
