Tell your car to send an e-mail without touching the computer. Or even tell your car to send a call for help. Sound like something from a science fiction movie. Well, thanks to a new “talking car”, this is soon to become reality.Road Track, the Israeli（以色列的）producer of Chevrolet（雪佛莱）, has built a computer platform called Chevy Star. It offers the driver a wide range（范围）of things you can get with your voice.It uses a box the size of a mobile phone attached to（贴到）the rear view mirror（后视镜）. The driver can use it to be in touch with Road Track‟s Offices. Many operators（接线员）work round-the-clock so as to answer the phone and the needs of drivers.To get into the car, the driver has to say a secret code, such as “Open Sesame（芝麻开门）”, for the doors to open and the engine to start. Upon entering the car, the driver has three buttons: one for emergencies（紧急事故）, another for telephone calls and a third for practical information. When the driver presses the emergency button, the operator calls the car to ask if there is a problem. If the driver is lost, the operator can use a map to help the driver to find his or her way. “It depends 100 percent on the voice, so you don‟t have to take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel to use it. You just speak out and then the operator gives you instructions,” said Danny Laguna of Chevrolet. The operator is also alerted（警惕的）when the driver hits the brake（刹车器）too hard. And if operators find a problem anywhere on the car, they warn the driver straight away. Need to make a phone call? Just press the button and read out the number to dial. E-mail can also be dictated（口授）. The driver also has many practical things to choose from: the weather, the latest world or local news, what‟s on at the cinema or theatre.31. How many buttons are there in the car?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.32. If the driver is lost, he or she should ________________.A. press the emergency buttonB. press the telephone call numberC. press the practical information buttonD. hit the brake too hard33.

But sometimes it‟s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It‟s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, …You can‟t.‟ Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn‟t failed 10,000times, but rather had learned 10,000things that didn‟t work.Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn‟t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.38. If you are making a mistake, that means_________.A. you‟re carefulB. you‟re kindC. you‟re growingD. you know nothing39.After Edison failed 10,000 times, he________.A. gave upB. invented the light bulbC. invented the computerD. invented 10,000 new things40. When you make a mistake, you are closer to __________.A. timeB. moneyC. successD. everything41. What‟s the main idea of the passage?A. Never make mistakes.B. You can make mistakes without thinking.C. Sometimes it‟s good to make mistakes.D. Making mistakes is terrible.DNever go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you‟ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn‟t enough for consumers（消费者）these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items（商品）that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don‟t buy anythi ng just because it‟s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients（成分）on the back. Then compare prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands（品牌）and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don‟t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount（折扣）clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren‟t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials（广告）, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology（心理学）behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.42. Why does the writer suggest that you sho uldn‟t go into a supermarket hungry?A. Because you may buy more than you plan to.B. Because you may feel tired.C. Because you may forget to buy enough things.D. Because you may lose your way.43. Before you decide to buy things, you should _____.A. make sure whether they are on saleB. consider if you really need themC. examine the prices of different brandsD. read the words on the front of the package44. The writer suggests consumers buy ordinary products because _____.A. they come in plain packagesB. they are advertised on newspapersC. they are both good and cheaperD. the quality is better than that of famous ones45. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _____.A. ads and commercials sometimes tell liesB. advertisers sometimes hide some informationC. good consumers never read ads and commercialsD. we should make good use of ads and commercials第II卷（非选择题共60分）四、词汇(本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)A．请根据句意或中文提示、英文释义，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。
