Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done by insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding(手法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents,” the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men.A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming(where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D.C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,9000 male drivers died in U.S. traffic accident in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers,” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs. 1.7 deaths for women.”24. According to the study, male drivers __________.A. are less aggressive while drivingB. are more skilled at auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick to driving lawsD. are less familiar with safety equipment25. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients(客户) probably because they __________.A. cause more accidents on the road but ask for littleB. cause little damage and pay more money to the insurance companiesC. are more careful drivers and cause less damageD. make up the most part of the insurance clients26. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than womenB. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insuranceC. more female drivers die every year than male driversD. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite sex27. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by __________.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusionD. presenting an argumentCModern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient fortunate for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robotshave much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough | food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.28.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Development of RobotsB. The Discovery of Space ExplorationC. No Robots, No Space ExplorationD. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration29.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.B. It is dangerous for. humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.30.The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “______”A. remainB. bearC. defeatD. develop31.What is the writers attitude in this passage?A. Negative.B. Persuasive.C. Subjective.D. Objective.DHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments -mostly for entertainment purposes - is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats.Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range.The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs. The anim als are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.32.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?A. Dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.33.In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around34.What does the author try to argue in the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.35.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitatsE.Last week the British university system offered a record number of places. That sounds like good news—but do we really need more people to go to university? For that matter, does the world need more universities?The answer feels like it should be yes.Education is good, is it not? But everything has a cost.Education takes time. We could insist that everyone study full-time until the age of 45 but that would surely be too much. And perhaps half the population studying until they’re 21 is also too much. As for universities, they consume financial and intellectual resources—perhaps those resources might be better spent elsewhere.My own personal opinion is strongly in favor both of going to university, andof simply having universities around.The main skill I learnt at university was to write about economics, and I use that skill every day of my professional life, even an abstract education seems practical to me. And I now live in Oxford, one of the world’s most celebrated (著名的) university cities. Oxford’s experience certainly suggests that universities have much to offer.The city’s architecture and green spaces have been shaped—greatly for the better, on balance —by the 900-year-old institution at its heart. The beauty attracts tourists and locals too.But these are samples of one. Many people do not find themselves using the skills and knowledge they accumulated at university. And Oxford’s dreaming spires (尖顶) aren’t terribly representative of global universities as a whole.36. Which of the following is the most proper title?A. Does the world need more universities?B. Is education really necessary?C. Is British university system the best?D. Do you prefer universities abroad?37.Which of the following about the writer is TRUE?A. He is an economist now.B. He likes Oxford’s architecture and green spaces most.C. The skill he learnt at university is practical in his career.D. He holds the view that going to univeristy is a waste of resources.38. The writer develops the passage by ______.A. comparing his experience with others’B. persuading us with his own experience and opinionC. describing and sharing his own university experienceD. informing us of the advantages of universities39. What’s the meaning of the word “consume” in Paragraph 4?A. useB. provideC. delightD. raise40. In the following part, the writer is likely to ______.A. list more supporting details about his opinionB. show more disadvantages about going to universitiesC. present some opposite opinions about universitiesD. draw a conclusion about the topic第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
