When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives．The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.‎ The product, called Speed Alarm, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver’s PDA or programmable mobile phone．The setup of the product does not need to be linked up to a car’s speedometer．In fact, it is entirely portable．It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers．If a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alarm sounds.‎ Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what they’re now calling “intelligent speed alarm.” Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding．There is also a potentially controversial future use: “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alarm device when driving,” Paine said．“The system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”‎ The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.‎ ‎41. What’s the purpose of the new product?‎ A. To inform us of the new car system.‎ B. To introduce some improvement in cars.‎ C. To limit certain drivers to safe driving.‎ D. To popularize the built-in car system.‎ ‎42. The underlined part “lead-footed drivers” in Paragraph 1 refers to the ones ________.‎ A. who drive too carelessly ‎ B. that drive extremely fast C. who are partly disabled ‎ D. that drive too slowly ‎43. The second paragraph mainly talks about .‎ A. the project of the built-in product B. why the system becomes popular C. the functions of GPS in cars D. how the product is programmed ‎44. Which of the following is true of Speed Alarm according to Michael Paine?‎ A. Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided.‎ B. Speeding violations can be easily found out.‎ C. The system will excite some teenage drivers.‎ D. The product will not be available for adults.‎ ‎45. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Speed Alarm and Its Future Use B. Progress in Car-making Science C. Warning for Adventurous Drivers D. New In-Car Device Against Speeding ‎ C ‎“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.‎ One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.‎ Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝)in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.‎ Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥)have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.‎ Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.‎ Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.‎ 46. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?‎ A. A lot of care and the right soil.‎ B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.‎ C. Tomato plants grown alongside.‎ D. Cages placed around the roots.‎ 47. The writer planted the tomato because ________.‎ A. it cost only $1.25‎ B. the soil was just right for it C. there was room for it in the garden D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered 48. This year the writer’s roses were ________.‎ A. removed from the rose bed B. picked along with the tomatoes C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight D. largely hidden under the tomato plant 49. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.‎ A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes B. show the hardship of growing the roses C. express her liking for the roses D. express her care for the tomatoes 50. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.‎ A. the roses cost the writer little money B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes C. someone will help the writer make the decision D. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes D For thousands of years, people have been debating the meaning of happiness and how to find it. From the ancient Greeks and Romans to current day writers and professors, the debate about happiness continues. What makes someone happy? In what parts of the world are people the happiest? Why even study happiness? The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a person's highest happiness comes from the use of his or her intelligence. Religious books such as the Koran and Bible discuss faith as a form of happiness. The British scientist Charles Darwin believed that all species were formed in a way so as to enjoy happiness. People throughout history may have had different ideas about happiness. But today, many people are still searching for its meaning.‎ How do you study something like happiness? You could start with the World Database of Happiness at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This set of information includes how to define and measure happiness. Some findings are not surprising. For example, the database suggests that married people are happier than single people. People who like to be with other people are happier than unsocial people. But other findings are less expected: People with children are equally happy as couples without children. And wealthier people are only a little happier than poorer people. ‎ Positive psychology is the new term for a method of scientific study that tries to examine the things that make life worth living instead of life's problems. Traditional psychology generally studies negative situations like mental suffering and sickness. But positive psychology aims to study the strengths that allow people and communities to do well. There is also an increasing amount of medical research on the physical qualities of happiness. Doctors can now look at happiness at work in a person's brain using a method called magnetic resonance imaging (核磁共振成像), or MRI. For example, an MRI can show how one area of a person's brain activates when he or she is shown happy pictures. A different area of the brain becomes active when the person sees pictures of terrible subjects.‎ ‎51. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. People are searching for the meaning of happiness. ‎ ‎ B. Happiness is an everlasting topic for discussion.‎ ‎ C. Current day scholars are debating about how to make people happy. ‎ ‎ D. People have begun to realize the importance of understanding happiness. ‎ ‎52. The Bible tells us happiness comes from ________.‎ ‎ A. the application of one's intelligence B. the strong belief in religion ‎ C. a certain degree of good faith D. the trust in one's ability ‎53. The findings of the database imply that couples without children are ________.‎ ‎ A. as happy as people with children B. less happy than people with children C. happier than unsocial people D. a little happier than wealthier people ‎54. As an approach of scientific study, positive psychology focuses on ________.‎ ‎ A. mental suffering ‎ ‎ B. psychological sickness ‎ C. examining what makes life worth living ‎ ‎ D. strengths that enable people to succeed ‎55. MRI is used in the study of happiness in order to ________.‎ ‎ A. find out the physical quantities of happiness ‎ ‎ B. look at the images formed in people's brain ‎ C. study the reaction of the brain to happiness ‎ ‎ D. understand the pictures of terrible subjects 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1. 用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共 6小题，共 35 分。‎ 得 分 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。(共 5 小 题；每小题 2 分，满分10分)‎ 评卷人 What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.‎ Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.‎ Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.‎ ‎56. What is the passage mainly about?
