Driving a car is not just handing controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制藥), damaging eyesight, judgement and co-ordination(協(xié)調(diào)), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

·50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

·22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

·67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK＄25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(樣本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

1. The first paragraph is mainly about       .

A．the introduction of driving skills

B．the damage of drinking to your body

C．the effect of drinking on driving

D．the process of alcohol being absorbed

2. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “       ”.

A．a(chǎn)lcohol           B．a(chǎn)bsorption         C．blood            D．process

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法庭）.
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship honour or professional morality（職業(yè)道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.
【小題1】The author's roommate offered to help him because_____.

A．he felt sorry for the author
B．he thought it was a chance to make some money
C．he knew the doctor was a very good one
D．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
【小題2】 A good doctor is essential for the author to __________.
A．be properly treated
B．talk with the person responsible for the accident
C．recover before he leaves America
D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
【小題3】 The word "charge" in the passage means __________.
A．be responsibleB．a(chǎn)ccuse
C．a(chǎn)sk as a priceD．claim
【小題4】Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very___.
A．friendlyB．greedy
C．professionalD．busy
【小題5】 What conclusion can you draw from this story?
A．Going to court is something every common in America
B．One must be very careful while driving a car
C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides
D．Money is more important than other things in the US

下面文章中有5處（第61~65題）需要添加小標(biāo)題，請從以下選項中選出符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑,選項中一項為多余選項.
A. Slow Down Your Life
B. Escape Now and Then
C. Separate Your Actions
D. Allow Yourself to Be Weak
E. Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying " No"
F. Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect
How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.
【小題1】
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had. Just imagine: you arc at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run bock and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of succcss.
【小題2】
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modem nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner.
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for nil the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution is equally simple; refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.
【小題3】
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break.
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you arc under more stress than you can cope with. These signals came from various areas of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases.
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say quite openly, "I can't manage that. "
【小題4】
"If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, more clever, then I would be happier. " This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges. Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road. But life doesn't consist entirely of these things. In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.
【小題5】
Successful people ail have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it's the train. When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles. There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles).

B

China is going green．In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, carmakers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽車) for the Chinese market．Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week．Let’s have a look at the new car．

Any vehicle is a hybrid run on a rechargeable battery and gas．Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gas engines．The gasoline engine provides 99 percent of the power when the car is going at a steady speed. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when it needs to speed up．

Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine．The first thing you notice is that it is quieter than a traditional car．At this point, the car’s gas engine is at rest．The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24km/h．If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gas being used, and no waste gas given off．

The computer decides when to use the gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two．If you go over 24km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油門), you are telling the computer how fast you want to go．

The electric motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries．And when driving at a high speed, the gas engine not only powers the car but also recharges the batteries．When you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator (發(fā)電機) to produce electricity to recharge the batteries．As a result, the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles．

66．The underlined sentence probably means ________.

A．there will be more and more green land in China  

B．China’s new cars are combinations of different green models

C．China is still young and lacking in experience

D．the environment is getting better in China

67. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?

A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gas.

B. They have smaller engines than traditional gas ones.

C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hill.

D. They are much quieter than traditional cars.

68. We can know from the story that ________.

A. the gas engine recharges the batteries as well as powering the car

B. using the brake suggests that the gas engine should work

C. the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles without being recharged

D. the batteries can be recharged at any time you want

69. The author writes the passage mainly to________.

A. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for the Chinese market

B. let people know how to save their gas when driving a car

C. teach people how to drive a hybrid car

D. introduce a new kind of “green” car

70．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．The hybrid car is environmentally friendly．

B．The hybrid car is unable to get itself recharged．

C．The hybrid car has been made in mass．

D．The hybrid car can decide what power to use
