閱讀文章后，從第50至54題所給A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳答案。

       We all hate speed cameras，don’t we？They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents；they just make money for the government．They trick us，cost us cold hard cash，disturb us from driving properly and are unfair．

       Well，here’s a surprising thing：what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives？It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s 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 compulsory（強(qiáng)迫的）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 percent less than2004．Comparing road deaths to populating in 2005，that’s about 817 per million people compared with Australia’s 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．

       Okey, you know the arguments on the increased traffic safety and cameras. for-inco me, but in seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A theer-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.

       Traveling on the highways，it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when one few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming There’s even all 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 secrecy too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy their life thanks to speed cameras

We can learn from the first paragraph that      ．

       A．speed cameras cost us our lives

       B．speed cameras help HS drive properly

       C．most people think speed cameras are good for slowing drivers down

       D．most people think speed cameras are used to make money for the government

In France, a driver should obey the following rules EXCEPT       ．

       A．blood alcohol limit lowering   B．speed limit obeying

       C．camera location updating D．seat belt wearing

The underlined word ‘‘transparency’’ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to     ．

       A．honesty        B．openness       C．innocence        D．strictness

Now you can seldom see in France       ．

       A．lunch time last long with drunk people rushing back to office

       B．people drive at a speed of less than 130 km／h

       C．drivers drive according to the traffic lights

       D．police conduct traffic in streets

What is the text mainly about？

       A．The argument on speed cameras

       B The drivers in France hating speed cameras

       C．France does successfully in controlling road accidents

       D．France takes many measures in controlling road accidents

Tony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s population.
In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合條件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”
The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉樹) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.
Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”
However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland – the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way.
Some people say that is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.
“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”
But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians’ memories.
【小題1】Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because        .

A．he needed more time to examine latest information
B．he doubted whether koalas’ number is decreasing
C．he was thinking about ways to protect koalas
D．he had more important issues to deal with
【小題2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The habitat of the koala.
B．Australia’s traffic problems.
C．The importance of koalas for Australians.
D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.
【小題3】According to the text, Debbie Pointing thinks that        .
A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little use
B．the government should announce the koala as an endangered species
C．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala population
D．koala are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts
【小題4】It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke        .
A．decided to construct more fences along roads
B．called on Australians to take care of the koala
C．thought the government has done much for koalas
D．was optimistic about the koalas’ future
【小題5】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.
B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.
C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.
D．Australians are concerned about koalas.

For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead．“We can do without railways” people say，as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary．We all keep hearing that trains are slow，that they lose money，that they’re dying．But this is far from the truth．In these days of expensive oil，the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes．If you want to carry people or goods from place to place，they’re cheaper than planes．And they have much in common with planes．A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway．What is more，it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another．It doesn’t 1eave you as a plane does，miles and miles from the city center．It doesn’t hold you up as a car does，in endless traffic jams．And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do．Far from being dead，the railways are very much alive．Modern railway lines give you a smooth，untroubled journey．Where else can you eat well，sleep in comfort，feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning．For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 1 50 miles an hour and more．Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can't use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly in for the same reason.

Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless (無意義的)? If you ask me, I'd like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth.
Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea where they are going. Women don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank ofgas only to find themselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn.
Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because women trick to get out of tickets but only because they don't speed. Women don't risk putting their own lives and the lives of others in danger. In other words，they have more responsibility for life.
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible. They're totally lost in loud music beyond a necessary level. You don't ever see women driving like that.
I feel that the above evidence（證據(jù)） more than proves (證明) my points that women are queens of the road. Oh ，men, if you want to continue criticizing (批評(píng)) women for being bad drivers，bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.
【小題1】Who does the author think are the better drivers? (no more than 1 word)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題2】When will women drivers stop to ask for help? (no more than 9 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題3】Why do men get more speeding tickets (no more than 3 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題4】What quality（品質(zhì)） do women drivers have when it comes to safety? (no more than 3 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題5】How is the seat backed by most male drivers? (用完整的句子回答）
