  You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally

or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of 

mi?nutes. But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's 

windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.

    The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic 

policeman, to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars 

immediate?ly. Frankfurt-based IT consultant, Daniel Kalliontzis?came up with the idea 

and is raising money to put his £ 54 (£43) sticker into production.Car owners can put 

the sticker inside their car's wind?screen, having set it up with key information, such

as their phone number. The slim design will include a sensor(傳感器) that when touched

by a traffic policeman, will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine. 

The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smart phone, which will 

appear on the sticker's screen.

    The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in 

a way,a German law. The law states: an officer has to choose the most efficient and 

inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle. It could be chea?per for the 

government to call the driver than to tow his car.

    Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used 

in the UK in a similar way. A spokesman said," In England there is no legal duty to 

warn the motorist before issuing the ticket. However, a policeman does have the 

discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn't think the situation is that bad or he 

just wants to issue a warning."

    So far,Mr Kalliontzis has raised just over 362) of his ?50,000(£39,381) goal. 

If he manages to raise the money, the stickers will be shipped. But it appears that 

car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages, because

anyone could touch the smart sticker.

1.The author wrote the third paragraph to .

A.explain how a smart car sticker works

B.advise drivers to buy a car sticker

C.show the importance of a sensor

D.tell drivers how to park a car

2.We may infer from the text that in Britain .

A. car owners don't have to worry about a parking ticket

B.smart car stickers wouldn't work as well as in Germa?ny

C.traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car

D.the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers

3.The underlined word " discretion" in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by " ,,.

A. trouble B. pressure

C.  freedom D. opportunity

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Daniel Kalliontzis―a great inventor

B.Environment-friendly car stickers

C.Parking systems in Europe

D.End of the parking ticket?

Way back in 1662,John Evelyn,a brilliant Englishman known for his detailed diaries, wrote about disastrous effects of coal-burning on the city of London. In it, he described an infernal scene of smog, air filled with "Columns and Clouds of Smoke", given out by small industries and residences that burned coal for fuel.

I found the description in the 2003 book When Smoke Ran like Water , by

epidemiologist(流行病學(xué)家) and environmental advocator (倡導(dǎo)者)Devra Davis. In it, Davis looks back at several historic pollution events and their disastrous effects on human health ― and at how these phenomena were often ignored or even active?ly covered up by people in charge at that time.

As Davis points out,John Evelyn was ahead of his time when writing about how London's polluted air af?fected the well-being of its residents. It wasn't until nearly 300 years later, after what became well-known as the Great Smog of 1952, that the government began to address the problem in a systematic way.

For four days, between December 5th and 9th, due to all the accidents of the weather pattern, the city was buried in a heavy fog. People were still burning coal for fuel,and low-grade coal at that time,because of wartime condition. A temperature inversion (轉(zhuǎn)向)trapped the smoke from the city's fires, creating a black cloud in which people could barely find their way down the most familiar streets. Some tried to protect themselves, but most people simply went about their business.

But 1952's fog was far worse than any other in memory. In the same week of the previous year, 1852 people had died in London; in 1952, that number was 4,703. And the deaths didn't stop when the weather changed and the fog lifted. Davis and her colleagues an?alyzed data from the next several months and found that about 13,000 more people died between December and March than one would have predicted from historical av?erages. Many of them died of pneumonia(肺炎).The government,she writes, tried to blame a bad flu season. Her detailed analysis found that explanation simply did not pan out.

Davis writes that even today in this country, we still have not completely absorbed the lessons of similar events. The killer fog has lifted in London for sixty-years, and people are dying 

preventable deaths and suf?fering life, changing illnesses,simply because they must breathe the air of the cities where they live.

1. The passage is written to .

A.warn people of the danger from air pollution

B.introduce London's Great Smog of 1952

C.blame the government for the smog

D.explain the reasons for air pollution

2.The underlined word "infernal" in the first paragraph

probably means "   "•

A. imaginary   B. adventurous

C. unbelievable D. annoying

3.One of the reasons for the Great Smog of 1952 was

that . 

A.people burned wood for fuel

B.a forest fire created a black cloud over the city

C.the government ignored the smog

D.most people went about their business

4. How does the writer feel about the present air condi?tion in London?

A. Indifferent. B. Concerned.

C. Hopeless.   D. Panic.

Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery, partly be?cause it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard? or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't de?tect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Simi?larly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves , nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vi?tal organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged  and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated (輻射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1.According to the passage* the danger of nuclear

power lies in the     .

A.    nuclear mystery

B.    nuclear radiation

C.    radiation level

D.    radiation detection

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE of nu?clear radiation?

A.    It can do harm to human beings.

B.    It can be detected by human senses.

C.    It is just like common radio waves.

D.    It cannot do harm to human beings.

3.How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A.    By damaging its heart.

B.    By killing a few cells.

C.    By hitting any place in its body.

D.    By killing many cells in important organs.

4.Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?

A.    Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.

B.    The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.

C.    Radiation can hurt those who are not aware of its danger.

D.    The importance of protection from radiation can not be overemphasized.

A [2015*山東泰安高三下學(xué)期二輪檢測]

When people are asked to list typical English gentlemen, for many,Colin Firth immediately comes to mind.

  In his recent film, Kingsman : The Secret Service ?the 54-year-old actor appears as elegant and violent super spy Harry Hart. One minute he's calm and polite, and then in the next he's skilfully violent and aggressive. For example,in one scene he says,"Manners maketh man",before severely beating up a group of villains (if A). Firth brings out the perfect mix of typical British style and humour through this performance.

  Firth began appearing on English TV in the early 1990s, but it wasn't until he played Mr Darcy,a charming upper class character from Jane Austen's famous novel Pride and Preju?dice ,that Firth's career really took off. His portrayaK形象)of the perfect fictional gentleman conquered millions of hearts, especially females'.

In many fans and critics'eyes, Firth has British good looks,British charm, and a gift for characters with a British sense of being reserved(矜持).Movie reviewer Jason O'Bryan described Firth as "always befitting the calm and stiff-upper-lip British gentlemen character".

However Firth doesn't consider himself the authority on gentlemen. "I don't necessarily approach every challenge like a perfect English gentleman spy. There are many aspects in my personality that are not consistent with someone like Har?ry Hart,"he said to Dialogue, an English-language show on CCTV News.

But let's just take his words as another gentlemanly quality-modesty. After all, who might expect an Oscar-win?ning actor over 50 years old to learn to fight for his first ac?tion movie?

To prepare for Kingsman ^ Firth trained for three hours every day over six months. He broke a tooth and got bruised everywhere, but took the damage as a symbol of his accom?plishments.

In Dialogue, Firth said he had many other sides―he's passionate about literature and literary research. However,to many of his movie fans, he is indeed a gentleman and excel?lent actor above all else.

1. The example given in Paragraph 2 is______________ .

A.     to describe the character of Harry Hart

B.     to introduce one scene of Kingsman

C.     to prove Colin Firth a gentleman

D.  to compare Colin Firth with Harry Hart

2. When did Firth come to be famous?

 A.     In the early 1990s.

B.     After he played Mr Darcy.

C.     When he was 54 years old.

D.     During his childhood.

3.From the text we can infer .

 A.     Colin Firth is violent and aggressive

B.     Colin Firth has many sides in personality

C.     Colin Firth has similar character to Harry Hart

D.     Colin Firth has more male fans than females

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

 A.     An authority on English gentlemen

B.     A famous actor

C.     A charming upper class character

D.     A super spy
