3.DCities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes;one is injured every nine minutes, according to official date. Crosswalk can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70 , according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears .FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006. But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.53. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.

    Motoring Technology

    1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year,plus a further 50 million injuries.To
    reduce car crash rate,much research now is focused on safety and new fuels一though
    some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.
    Travelling at speed has always been dangerous.One advanced area of research in
    motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you don't miss
    important road signs or fall asleep.Most crashes result from human and not mechanical
    faults.
    Some safety developments aim to improve your vision.Radar can spot obstacles in
    fog,while other technology" sees through"big vehicles blocking your view.
    And improvements to seat belts, pedal(脚踏)controls and tyres are making driving
    smoother and safer.The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety,as have,
    less surprisingly, size and shape.
    But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don't want a thief in the driving seat and there have
    been many innovations(创新).Satellite tracking and remote communications can also
    come into play if you crash,automatically calling for help.
    Accidents cause many traffic jams,but there are more subtle interplays between
    vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road.Such jams can be analyzed
    using statistical tools.Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly
    and will perhaps one day be everyone's personal chauffeur(司机),but their latest efforts
    suggest that won't be soon.

    To reduce car crash rate,many scientists are working hard to
    A:design fully automatic cars.

    问答题
    The emergence of the Uber digital tide finder and the regulation questions it tends to raise have inspired debates, protests and supports around the world. The following are comments on legalization of ride-hailing service both from officials and ordinary citizens. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the comments from both sides;  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Government Authorities  Maranda Gibson, a representative from Los Angeles Department of Transportation: The drivers for Uber are not required to pass background checks or have their vehicles inspected for safety. They don’t have to pay the same taxes, insurance fees and licensing fees that taxi drivers do. While taxi drivers go through an extensive training course called “the Knowledge”, where drivers must learn 320 routes covering 25,000 streets, as well as important buildings and points of interest, Uber drivers can come straight with a car and GPS.  Boris Johnson, a British politician: I have sympathy for taxi drivers, but it would be “difficult” for the government to ban Uber. We’ve gone to the high court to get a ruling on this, and the issue is basically: is the driver’s mobile in the cab equivalent to a taxi meter? I can see why my learned friends might think that it is, because it’s receiving data about, or it’s calculating, the distance and time and the fare. And there are other lawyers who say that it isn’t, and that was the advice of the counsel to Transport for London. And so we’ve got a legal problem.Ordinary Citizens  Mary Williams: I think as long as the Uber drivers have the necessary background checks done (they don’t have any warrants, are not reckless drivers, and are properly insured) then they should be allowed to offer their services. The transportation market is changing as it should with technology. I think it’s great that Uber users are able to see their driver’s ratings and can hail them quicker than they can get a cab. It’s just a different way of doing business.  Matthew Yglesias: I think it’s pretty obvious that Uber does in fact need to be regulated. And regulated pretty heavily. After all, here’s the business: You’ve got people cruising around cities in medium sized metal boxes capable of traveling at high speeds and powered by burning gasoline. Left unregulated, these vehicles would poison the air and crush huge numbers of innocent pedestrians. Which is why it’s good that the federal government regulates what kind of automobiles are considered safe to drive and regulates what kind of vehicle emissions are acceptable, and it’s why state and local governments regulate both who is allowed to drive cars (with driver’s licenses), under what circumstances (with drunk driving laws), and of course what you’re allowed to do with a vehicle (with road rules). These are important things for the government to do.  Daniel Tencer: The regulatory issue around Uber is whether the rules governing rides-for-hire need to be drastically different than the rules governing driving-yourself-around. But you don’t need rules that specifically discriminate against rides for hire. Anything you want to do around driving yourself is presumptively legal, and you want to do around hiring someone else to drive you is presumptively illegal. But by all means, regulate cars-for-hire, just regulate them the same way you regulate the other cars.

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Uber Digital Ride Finder Should be Regulated Ride-bailing service has aroused a hot debate. Uber, as an example, has undoubtedly benefited citizens greatly, but meanwhile, it has raised many regulation questions. Different officials hold different opinions. Some of them think that Uber drivers don’t have to learn so many routes and names of important buildings as taxi drivers do, which would be detrimental to taxi drivers’ income and consumers’ interests. The others feel sympathy for taxi drivers though, they think it is hard to ban Uber at present due to the lack of a clearly stated law. In some citizens’ opinion, the emergence of Ride-bailing service like Uber is because of modern technology and law loopholes. And most citizens think it is necessary to take measures to regulate such services. As far as I am concerned, it is very urgent to set up the regulation of Uber
    All the opinions are reasonable. Uber drivers don’t need any qualification, which enables them to save lots of problems and make more extra money. That will definitely, to some extent, cause damages to the taxi drivers’ interests. At present, though there are not perfect related regulations and Uber cannot be banned overnight, it is high time for the government to set out to think about that for the sake of common people. Safety comes first for transportation, so even Uber service should follow specific laws and rules. Besides, all related parties’ interests should get protected, including the taxi drivers’ and passengers’ or citizens’. Finally, the protection of the environment should also be taken into consideration. More measures should be taken to reduce as much greenhouse gas emission as possible and realize convenient transportation of all the citizens.
    In short, it is impractical to ban the Uber service, but more strict and careful regulations can be carried out to ensure sound transportation.

    细节题。录音提到“learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs”,即在学习驾驶时,没有薪水,故需要“keep previous jobs”。所以答案为C。
    【录音原文】
      London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you “How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?” and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won’t say “well done”. They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say “See you in two months’ time.” and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
    Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
    2. How long does the training period last?
    3. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?
    4. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?
