Only 39 of the largest urban areas have bike helmet laws.But 47 out of 50 cities had some non-smoking laws and an equal number required CO alarms. And all the cities insisted on inspections after construction or remodeling projects.In addition to local and state laws to keep their children safe, UL said families can also take measures to improve the safety of their children, including making sure television stands are well fixed and having a fire escape plan.66. The passage is mainly about .A. how to keep children safe B. the most popular U.S. citiesC. the safest U.S. cities for kids D. the various laws in the U.S. cities67. What do we know about New York from the passage?A. New York has the fewest traffic accidents.B. The air quality in New York remains stable.C. Car passengers in New York have to wear seatbelts.D. New York firefighters react quickly in emergencies.68. What does the underlined phrase “breathe easy” in the passage refer to?A. Stop worrying B. Enjoy better health. C. Do their jobs happily. D. Breathe without difficulty.69. The safety criteria in the study include all the following EXCEPT .A. non-smoking laws B. bike helmet laws C. traffic rules D. families fire escape plans70. What did the 50 cities in the study have in common?A. They all had anti-smoking laws. B. They all required factories to fix CO alarms.C. Their hospitals provided high-quality service. D. They had careful examinations of newly completed buildings.DYasuda is 95 years old. He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple (AAPL)s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since its launch in April, but doesnt break down sales figures by customer age, making it impossible to know with certainty how many old people are buying them. However, evidence suggests its popular with the old. The iPads intuitive interface （直观界面） makes it attractive to old citizens around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: “The iPad is a good tool for the elderly because its very forgiving of mistakes.” Miuras team uses computers to help train senior citizens to rejoin the workforce. “Unlike the PC, it doesnt require previous(先前的) knowledge,” he says. James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPads popularity with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. “The worlds population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and its probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Elderly users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly quick to accept the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under 30, according to a report by Japans Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent against dementia(痴呆). “Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise,” he says.71. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The iPad was only intended for elderly people.B. The use of iPad requires previous knowledge.C. The use of iPad is mentally useful to the old.D. Only the elderly in Japan can use iPad.72. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. The old get a bit strike from the iPad. B. The iPad causes a heavy burden to the old.C. The iPad is accepted by the old. D. The old are very familiar with the iPad.73. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the iPad over the PC?A. It has intuitive interface. B. It is easier to operate.C. It is more accessible to beginners. D. It is a good mental exercise.74. What can we learn from the passage?A. The old are the largest consumers in Japan.B. The iPad is traditionally accepted by the young.C. The old in Japan are fond of latest hi-tech products.D. The old customers will soon replace the younger ones.75. What could be the best title for the passage?A. The iPad Leads Apple to the ElderlyB. Ipad Hits Japans Store ShelvesC. Ipads Arrival in Tokyo Causes Japanese to ExciteD. AAPL Tries to Balance the Old and the Yong第II卷（共35分）第四部分：写作（共三节；满分35分）第一部分：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分,共10分)阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。1You may be wondering what scientists are like.
