To build a safer car，Japanese automakers are trying to replace the driver．

Inspired by statistics blaming human error for most accidents，Toyota and its competitors are designing“intelligent’”cars that can almost drive themselves on the high way．

The systems are designed to reduce human tiredness and the mistakes that often result．This kind of support is what drivers need most in a country with some of the most crowded roads in the world．That is why it should not be surprising that Japan is leading the race to make cars smarter．

To provide a safer ride，Japanese automakers are turning to technologies like laser radar and machine vision to replace tired eyes and wandering minds．

An infrared（红外线的）radar unit fixed on the bumper is part of a new cruise（巡航）control method that Toyota introduced in August 1997．It’s now an optional（随意的）feature on its Celsior luxury car that costs 70000 yuan （$648）．

The“adaptive”system tracks（尾随）the car ahead，and slows down or speeds up the car automatically to keep a safer distance in highway traffic．The same technology has also been used by some cars made by Toyota’s competitors．

Subaru，a type of its Legacy wagon，made its first appearance last September with Active Driving Assist（ADA），which besides adjusting cruising speed，sounds an alarm if the car goes out of its lane or makes a turn too fast．In the latter case，it down shifts gear even before the driver starts to brake．

An even smarter system is coming from Honda．Called Honda Interlligent Driver Support（HIDS），it “sees”the road through a tiny camera on the windshield and helps steer（操纵）the car down the middle of lane（车道）．

A computer picks out line on the highway surface and touched the car’s steering wheel in the right direction．

Honda got approval in March to start testing HIDS on the highway and says 1t will arrive in showrooms in the near future．

64．Why are Japanese automakers developing cars that can almost drive themselves on．the highway'?

A．Because they want to win the car competition．

B．Because many accidents resulted from the mistakes made by drivers．

C．Because drivers are always tired when driving the car．

D．Because people don’t want to drive the cars themselves．

65．What is the main purpose for the automakers to design the system of the new cars?

A．To make them run faster so that they can sell them at higher prices．

B．To make them keep to the lane without being controlled．

C．To help drivers make fewer mistakes so that accidents can be avoided．

D．To use some advanced devices like laser radar and machine vision．

66．We can infer from the passage that ．

A．accidents always occur in the crowded streets

B．traffic accidents are likely to happen when drivers are tired and careless

C．accidents happen because traffic rules are not obeyed

D．many accidents occur because there are no advanced system

67．If you drive the car with HIDS，you will find ．

A．your car 1s always keeping the right direction

B．your car is slowed down or speeded up automatically

C．your car is controlled by an Infrared radar

D．you are always keeping a safer distance on the high-way

Pretoria．South Africa—Hundreds 0f swimmers Play in the water along a South African beach．Suddenly a huge shark appears offshore and heads for the bathers．Before it can get close to the swimmers，the shark，for some mysterious reason，starts swimming parallel to the beach．Then it turns away from shore and heads out to sea，leaving the swimmers untouched．

Such a scene will soon become common along shark infested（鲨鱼出没）shores．An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels（击退）sharks by controlling their movements．Confused by this action，the sharks end up turning away from the beach．

In this unusual shark repellent method，an insulated（绝缘）cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach from which people swim．When an electric current is sent though the cable，an electric field is produced in the water above the cable．

When the shark swims into the electric field，nerve cells just below the shark’s skin detect the field．The electricity produces a reflex（反射）action in the shark’s muscles，causing the dangerous animal with sharp teeth to swim parallel to the cable．Contused by increasing loss of control of its muscles，the shark suddenly changes its direction and heads seaward，away from the electric field．

In a test of the invisible new shark-repellent system，a cable was placed around a beach in St．Lucia an island in the tropics．A protective net，which had been installed around the beach a long time ago to keep sharks from swimmers，was left in place during the experiment．

When the electric field was 1eft on for more than a year and a half，no sharks were found in the nets．However,when the power was turned off，89 sharks ended up in the nets．

Using the electric wall method instead of nets to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks，say biologists．Currently，thousands of sharks die each year when they become trapped in protective nets that surround holiday resorts in Africa and Australia．About 10 to 15 humans are killed by sharks annually．

68．In the first passage，why doesn’t the shark attack the swimmers？

A．Because they are many swimmers in the water．

B．Because the shark doesn’t want to eat the swimmers。

C．Because of some mysterious reason from the God．

D．Because there is an invisible electric field confusing the shark．

69．An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed ．

A．A protective net B．A new shark-repellent system

C．The electric field D．An insulated cable

70．An electric field is produced in the water above the cable ．

A．only when the shark swims into the electric field

B．an insulated cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach from which people

swim

C．only when an electric current is sent though the cable

D．only when the sharks are trapped in protective nets

71．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Protective nets had been installed around the beach earlier than the new shark repellent system．

B．This new kind of shark repellent system wilt take place of the protective nets．

C．Thousands of sharks die and about 10 to 15 humans are killed by sharks each year in Africa and Australia since this new system was Put into use．

D．Using the electric wall method instead of nets to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks．

（Text 10）

In order to have a good understanding of foreign languages，four things are necessary．First，you must understand the language when you hear it spoken．Second，you must be able to speak it correctly and fluently．Third，you must be able to read the 1anguage and fourth，you must be able to write sentences that are grammatically correct．

There is no easy way to be successful in language learning．A good memory will be of great help，but it alone is not enough to memorize grammar rules or words．“Learning through use”is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language．Practice is very important，for as you all know，practice makes perfect．You must practice speaking and writing the language whenever yon can．

In addition to this，you should listen to songs or watch movies in the language．You should force yourself to listen carefully to these movies or songs so that your listening ability can improve quickly．To enlarge your vocabulary，the best way is to read novels．At the same time，it is important that you have confidence in your reading ability．From my own experience，reading such books makes me more interested in the 1anguage and makes me want to 1earn more about it．

One possible version：

The economical crisis has been a hot topic．It is necessary for us to really understand the two crises and their bad effect by comparing them．

As we know．that economical crisis broke out in America in 1929 and then spread quickly and affected deeply and widely．As a result，it caused banks and factories to close down，and millions of workers were 1aid off．Many countries had no ways to break away from the crisis，however。the USA took many measures to recover the economy and make the politics steady．

The crisis in 2008 damaged greatly the globe．Our country is affected greatly．Some areas and some fields damage seriously．We should believe our government has ability and ways to do well with a series of problems that the crisis brings．

We easily see and know some phenomina．The prices of the buildings are going down，and it influences the students graduating in2009 to look for jobs，and so on．
