Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic（流行病）. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18—20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by
educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
57. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A. Young drivers were usually bad.
B. The legal drinking age should be raised.
C. Some drivers didn’t surprise the legal drinking age.
D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
58. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means .
A. merciful B. cruel C. serious D. determined
59. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because .
A. judges are no longer lenient
B. new laws are introduced in some states
C. drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D. the problem has attracted public attention
60. Which of the following statements best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?
A. It is difficult to solve this problem.
B. It may lead to organized crime.
C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking
D. There should be no bars to serve drinks.

To complete a study, a team of scientists left Boston and went halfway around the world to the middle of Kenya．They wanted to find out more about barefoot running．
Sure, people can run barefoot anywhere．But Kenya has produced some of the most famous long-distance runners in history, and many of these athletes grew up not wearing shoes．Scientist Daniel Lieberman visited some of these runners to figure out what a difference shoes make．
It was a big difference, and not necessarily for the better．In particular, when a bare foot hits the ground, the blow（冲击） is softer and the running motion is smoother．Running barefoot may have advantages over running with shoes on, though more studies are needed to determine whether or not barefoot running reduces the chance of injures．
One shouldn't be scared of barefoot running or think it strange, Lieberman told Science News． It's normal and, if done properly, it is very fun and comfortable．
Previous studies have shown that when a person runs barefoot, he lands on the fronts or middles of the feet．Then the heels（脚后跟） go down．During this process, the weight of the body is at first on the fronts of the feet, then moves to the heels．When a person wears shoes, however, he tends to run so that his heels hit the ground first．The effect of the heel hitting the ground many he much more forceful than the effect of the front of the foot hitting the ground．
The researches also studied barefoot runners in their laboratory．The goal was to measure the force with which a runner's foot hits the ground．A rear-foot （后足） strike is like someone hitting you on the foot with a hammer with about one and a half to three times your body weight．It would hurt without a shoe．Lieberman said．A forefoot strike is like having no one hit you at all．The study explores the physics of running, which is a complex topic．
The idea that barefoot running is better is a massive assumption．Reed Ferber, a biochemist at the University of Calgary in Canada said．Basically, there are no studies out there that show barefoot running is less injurious．
41．Lieberman' s attitude towards barefoot running is ______．
A．supportive B．negative C．neutral D．unclear
42．According to the studies, if you run barefoot, you ______．
A．have your heels hit the ground first
B．set the fronts of the feet on the ground first
C．load more body weight on your feet
D．run faster than you run with shoes on
43．It can be learned from the sixth paragraph that ______．
A．the physics of running is really complicated
B．running can be different in styles
C．different running styles have different advantages
D．running ability is related to one' s genes．
44．Which of the following statements may Reed Ferber agree to?
A．The idea to do barefoot running can become true．
B．It is much better for runners to run barefoot．
C．Barefoot running reduces the possibility of injures．
D．Don't throw out the fancy running shoes just yet．
B
In a research on the effect of the transport sector（运输领域）on climate, it proves that road traffic contributes the most to global warming．The aviation （航天） sector has the second largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the Earth' s Climate．
The study concludes that since pre-industrial times, 15% of CO2 emissions （排放量） made by humans have come from the transport sector．The study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sector．Looking only at CO2 emissions, road traffic alone has led to two-thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissions．The reason why road transport tops the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissions．The researchers said that the road emissions of today will make up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred years．
Following road transport, aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming. However, the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissions．In fact, over the next 100 years, today ' s road emissions will have a climate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today ' s aviation emissions．
For shipping, the picture is more complicated．Until now, shipping has had a cooling effect on climate．This is because shipping produces a large amount of SO2, which has a cooling effect．However, although the gas, until now, has given the shipping industry a cooling effect, this effect will disappear after a while, as the gas doesn't last long in the atmosphere．The long-lived CO2, will dominate （占优势）, giving shipping a warming effect in the long run．
In general, the transport sector' s contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future．
45．What can we learn about road traffic?
A．It has the second largest warming effect on climate．
B．It produces 15% of all CO2 into the air every year．
C．It created more CO2 emissions than aviation in history．
D．Its CO2 emissions will probably increase in future．
46．Shipping has a cooling effect because ______．
A．shipping conditions have been improved
B．the amount of ships at sea is small
C．it produces a gas which has a cooling effect
D．the gas it produces can absorb CO2
47．The underlined phrase in paragraph 4 probably means"______"．
A．after a long time B．in a tiring race
C．all the time D．during a long voyage
48．The passage mainly talks about______．
A．the effect of CO2 on global climate
B．the effect from traffic on global warming
C．how to choose a green way to travel
D．why transport produces so much CO2

To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．
After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't．
“We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ”said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council．“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from．”
Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years．
“We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically（理论上地）possible．”
“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ”Susan Jebb said．“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．”
69．Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?
A．Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day．
B．Do proper exercise in the morning every day．
C．Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day．
D．Having a cigarette before going to bed every day．
70．We can learn from the passage that ．
A．Susan Jebb did not take part in the study．
B．the study observed people as well as tested specific changes．
C．there's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits．
D．only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors．
71．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits．
B．People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom．
C．Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits．
D．People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good．
72．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years
B．How to Live a Much Healthier Life
C．Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years
D．How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others
