11．Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment，one that will require thousands of first-time offenders-whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit-to install （安裝） in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition．The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition．If the result is higher than the legal limit，the car will not start．The device also requires random"rolling retests"once the driver is on the road．
Virginia's current law requires only repeat drunken-driving offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their car．
The new law，which takes effect in July，will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times，and offenders will have to pay about﹩480 for a typical six-month installation．
The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders．Such groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia's 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5，500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving．Ignition interlock devices，they say，reduce repeat offenses．But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08，and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees．
Del．Sal R．Iaquinto，who sponsored the bill，had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devices："How much does a life cost？""Blowing into a tube for six months，you will remember that，"Iaquinto said．"And you?re not likely to offend again．"

61．The ignition probably refers to the part in a car where．D
A．the alarm goes off  B．the car is fueled
C．the key is placed   D．the engine starts
62．Who are required to install the blood  alcohol devices according to the current law？A
A．The repeat drunken-driving offenders．
B．The first time drunken-driving offenders．
C．Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15．
D．The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees．
63．Some groups support the new law becauseB．
A．the government can be financed to build roads
B．some traffic deaths and injuries may be avoided
C．lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
D．the court system is forced to work more effectively
64．The debate aroused by the measure suggests thatC．
A．justice has long arms
B．punishment is the key to all
C．no law is absolutely perfect
D．prevention is better than cure
65．According to Del．Sal R．Iaquinto，the new law isB．
A．severe  B．workable  C．unpractical  D．flexible．

分析 本文圍繞一些是否應(yīng)該在車(chē)上安裝酒精檢測(cè)設(shè)備進(jìn)行討論，一些人支持，也有一些人反對(duì)．

解答 小題16 D：細(xì)節(jié)推斷題．從文章 A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition．If the result is higher than the legal limit，the car will not start，這句可以看出，這個(gè)裝置應(yīng)在汽車(chē)引擎啟動(dòng)的部位．如果測(cè)試酒精超標(biāo)，汽車(chē)將不會(huì)啟動(dòng)．故選D．
小題62 A：細(xì)節(jié)題．題干問(wèn)的是什么樣的司機(jī)應(yīng)配備這樣的裝置，從文章第二段Virginia's current law requires only repeat drunken-driving offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their car．可知，只有那些重復(fù)酒駕的以及酒精含量超過(guò)0.15的司機(jī)需要安裝，故選A．
小題63 B：細(xì)節(jié)題．題干問(wèn)的是什么樣的人會(huì)支持這項(xiàng)規(guī)定，應(yīng)該從這項(xiàng)規(guī)定能帶來(lái)哪些好處入手．從文章Ignition interlock devices，they say，reduce repeat offenses．可知，這些人支持這個(gè)裝置是因?yàn)樗麄兡軌虮苊庖恍┙煌ㄋ劳龊褪軅氖吕�，故選B．
小題64 C：推斷題．從文章倒數(shù)第二自然段and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees．可知，對(duì)于這個(gè)政策的出臺(tái)，有支持的也有反對(duì)的，所以可知，任何法律都有兩面性，都不是完美的，故選C．
小題65 B：主旨推斷題．從最后一段能看出來(lái)，Blowing into a tube for six months，you will remember that以及And you are not likely to offend again．Del．Sal R．Iaquinto認(rèn)為這項(xiàng)制度如果你觸犯就要有六個(gè)月的懲罰，幽默地說(shuō)：很多人不可能去觸犯．由此看出新法還是卓有成效的．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文不難，文章結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)潔，題目設(shè)置很清晰．解答此類(lèi)說(shuō)明文的題目，要注意答題的方法．為了在有限的時(shí)間的快速作答，可以先看題目，按照題目所問(wèn)的問(wèn)題在文章中的找到對(duì)應(yīng)的段落，或總起句，在這些地方去找答案，作答難度并不大．

2．At the end of every British summer I find myself praying for a proper winter，one that will allow a bit of fun：sledging，snowballing，snowman-building．I'm not very demanding； I don't need amazing downhill skiing and the Cresta Run．What I want is a few days out with the kids．And，much as I like blue skies and sun in summer，I'd exchange it every time for frozen ponds，a hillside covered in fresh snow and ice hanging off the houses．Maddy，11，wants the same and so，instead of waiting and hoping，we are going to make sure．We are going to Sweden．
Winter fun in Sweden is a bit more advanced than in most of the UK．They do snowshoeing，ice-fishing，snow house-building and so on．They also do lots of Father Christmas matters，which Maddy didn't want："I'm too old for that kind of nonsense，Dad．"Above all，what Maddy wanted was dogs with puppies．She's not too old for that．
We flew to Lulea，a city at the top of the finger of Baltic Sea that reaches out to the north between Sweden and Finland，almost touching the Arctic Circle，then transferred，with some other winter-hungry families，to woodland houses by the sea．There was plenty of snow and ice，but the guides were keeping a nervous eye on the instrument for measuring temperature，which was dangerously close to zero．
"Normally，we are 10℃below，"said Roger，our guide，who was also handing out our equipment for the days ahead：snowshoes，boots，gloves and so on．A holiday that provides all the necessary outfits will save you a fortune．

19．Animals are a favorite subject of many photographers．Cats，dogs，and other pets top the list，followed by zoo animals．However，because it's hard to get them to sit still and"perform on command，"some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets．
One way to get an attractive portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera．The animal's longing look toward the food will be caught by the camera，but the treat won't appear in the picture because it's out of the camera's range．When you show the picture to your friends afterwards，they'll be impressed by your pet's loving expression．
If you are using fast film，you can take some good，quick shots of a pet by simply snapping a picture right after calling its name．You'll get a different expression from your pet using this technique．Depending on your pet's mood，the picture will capture an interested，curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance，especially if you've awakened it from a nap．
Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more patience．After all，you can't wake up a lion!You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot．When photographing zoo animals，don't get too close to the cages，and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage．Concentrate on shooting some good pictures，and always respect the animals you are photographing．

35．Why do some professional photographers dislike to take pictures of pets？A
A．Pets may not follow orders．
B．Pets don't want to be bothered．
C．Pets may not like photographers．
D．Pets seldom change their expressions．
36．What is the use of a biscuit in taking pictures of a pet？A
A．To capture a attractive look．
B．To create a special atmosphere．
C．To arouse the appetite of the pet．
D．To keep the pet from looking at the camera．
37．What is the advantage of calling your pet's name when taking a shot of it？D
A．To help your pet look its best．
B．To make sure that your pet sits still．
C．To keep your pet awake for a while．
D．To catch a different expression of your pet．
38．In what way is photographing zoo animals different from photographing pets？B
A．You need to have fast film．
B．You need more time to watch and wait．
C．You need special equipment．
D．You need to stay close to the animals．

6．The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on（從事） in later life，a new study has suggested．
Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with，the study by the Office for National Statistics found．
Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life．
A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector，they found．A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots．Meanwhile，April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions，births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player，doctor or dentist．
The study was got by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last survey，the Daily Mail reported．Although these trends may be difficult to explain，correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis．
Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia，Alzheimer's disease，asthma and autism．
They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year．
45．From the passage we can know if a baby is born on February.20，it will probably become aC．
A．footballer       B．doctor         C．pianist      D．teacher

47．What does the underlined word"correlation"in Paragraph 5 mean？A
A．close connection             
B．great influence 
C．effective solution             
D．reasonable conclusion  
48．What's the purpose of this passage？D
