The meaning of life consists in its dedication, not its length.CNext week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers, telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands-free phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18, which will take effect on Tuesday, though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞) that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging. Some were doubtful about lawmakers, who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nations most populous state and said hands-free conversations were not safer.KFI-AM radio talk-show host John Kobylt told Reuters. “Its stupid because weve one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it s the conversation that distracts you, not holding the phone.”State Senator Joe Simitian, who introduced the bill, said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer. He expected his law to save hundreds of lives. The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car. which he said wasnt an issue when he began working on the first one in xx.Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on hand-held cell phones. In New Jersey, police have issued 35.000 tickets for using a hand-held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence.On the one hand I dont want to see people crash into each other, but Im not going to get an ear thing.” 38-year-old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.28. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that_.A. most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the carB. public transportation in California isnt developed enoughC. in New Jersey few people use a hand-held phoneD, most of Californians are probably against the new law29. According to John Kobylt，_.A. all the lawmakers are stupidB. holding the phone is safer than using an earphoneC. it isnt dangerous to make a phone call while drivinD. it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous30. What will State Senator Joe Simitian probably do in the futureA. He will sup suggest a law to forbid text messaging while rivingB. He will conduct a new survey among CaliforniansC. He will suggest building more roads in CaliforniaD. He will suggest a law to pletely ban cell phones while driving.3 l. The underlined word ambivalence in the last paragraph probably refers to_.A. a positive attitude B. a negative attitude C. a confused feeling D. an excited feelingDIn his 1930 essay Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren. John Keynes. a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs. which make us feel superior to our fellowsHe thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable（无法满足的), this is not true of absolute needs。Keynes was surely correct that only a small Part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never es to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. Priced at over 120,000. it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in xx. the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however. they must pay almost four times the price.By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.32. According to the passage, John Keynes believed that_.A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needsB. absolute needs e from or sense of superiorityC. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demandsD. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs33. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?A. They want to show their superiority.B. They find specialty important to mealsC. Their demands for food are not easily satisfiedD. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.34. what does the underlined word escalation in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Understanding. B. Increase C. Difference. D. Study35. The author of the passage argues that_.A. absolute needs have no limits B. demands for quality are not insatiableC. human desires influence ideas of quality D. relative needs decide most of our spending第二节（共5小题：每小題2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。New research helps to explain why screaming is disturbing and useful.Screams, like those we hear in horror movies, have a special quality that separates them from other noises we make and hear. These screams are recognized by people all over the world.36 Every kid in every culture screams. Every adult in the context of a true fear responds with screams. So its just a feature of the human mind and brain”David Poeppel is a neuroscientist at New York University. He wondered why screams were recognized the same way by people all around the world. So, he and his colleagues set up an experiment.They recorded screams from movies and from volunteers who took part in the research. 37 Instead, they measured how quickly the sounds in the scream changed in volume. It was in this area-the change in volume that screams stand apart from other sounds.When the volume of a sound changes that quickly it has a quality called roughness. 38 David Poeppel and his team found that car alarms, sirens, and alarm clocks also have this quality, this roughness.”The scientists then studied how this roughness changed brain activity. They asked the volunteers to listen to different types of screams and alarms in an MRI scanner, The researchers found that the greater roughness of a sound. the more it activates the amygdala.39 “The amygdala acts like a gauge that says wow, this sound has a lot of roughness in it; thats particularly alarming and scary. Screams, it turns out, are a direct link to the part of our brain that tells us whether we should be afraid or not. 40Now, we know why a scream. gets so much attention, So quickly.A. People who hear these rough sounds are also more likely to react to them very quickly.B. People of all cultures and languages hear the same thing in a scream: fear.C. A scream is to say Im in trouble and I need help.D. The amygdala is an area deep in the brain that answers to fear.E. The more roughness a sound has, the more worrying it isF. Screams played a very important evolutionary role in our survivalG. The scientists, however, did not measure the screams for loudness or pitch第三部分语宫言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题15分，満分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I am a worrier.
