Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便车)．‎ I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (向„保证)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.‎ Twentyfive years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring (耀眼的) heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.‎ After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me，“You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”‎ I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.‎ 24.

Prizes for achievements in science, literature and peace were first awarded in 1901 according to the will of dynamite(炸药) inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel.‎ 28.

Alfred Nobel was an inventor and businessman.‎ D The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.‎ Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.‎ Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.‎ These include custom-made navigation( 导 航 ) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”‎ ‎“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”‎ Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.‎ ‎“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in ‎30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.‎ ‎“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”‎ 28. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?‎ A. To explore new means of transport. B. To teach people traffic rules.‎ C. To find out older drivers’ problems. D. To design new types of cars.‎ 29. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?‎ A. It cures their mental illnesses. B. It helps them save time.‎ C. It builds up their strength. D. It keeps them independent.‎ 30. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?‎ A. Develop driver-assist technologies. B. Improve their driving skills.‎ C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups.‎ 31. What is the best title for the text ?‎ A. A Solution to Traffic Problem B. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road C. Driving Service for elders D. A new Model Electric Car 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The relationship between cousins can be very close and deep.
