Drunken driving, sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed hy
drunken drivers, adding up an incredible 350,000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American alcohol image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 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.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years' national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the"noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
Which of the following four drivers can be defined as an illegal driver?

“Lucky” Lord Lucan一Alive or Dead
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan,a British aristocrat,vanished. The day before,his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too.To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.
Now,over 30 years later,the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA tech-niques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that“Lucky”,as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky” borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that“Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaugh-lin,a former detective.He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa,India.where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an exschoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about Lucky?DNA testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.Lucan could have been killed because people______.
A: didn't want the police to catch him
B: thought he might talk to the police about them if he was caught
C: were unhappy with him
D: thought he was rich答案：B解析：题干意为“公众对这件谋杀案的调查依旧很感兴趣的原因是……”。该题为细节题，而且为细节题中的因果逻辑题，在解题时要注意关注短文中陈述原因的句子，尤其是一些典型用来引出原因的词语和结构，如：because, because of, for, due to, thanks to, owing to等，同时还需要注意英文中的因果逻辑陈述习惯：先果后因。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，在短文前三段中查找相关句，同时留意题干中的修饰词in-terested“感兴趣的”，这样在第一段中找到相关句：To this day the British public（与题干中的名词短语the public呼应）are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found．相关句意为“直到现在，英国民众对这个谋杀案仍然很感兴趣，因为鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”。该句直接陈述了原因，所以C项“鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”是正确的答案。
题干意为“人们认为鲁肯杀了保姆的原因是什么？”该题为细节题，同时也是因果逻辑题。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第二段中找到相关句：People suspected that “Lucky”（指Lucan), as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with.

dren's nanny（保姆）had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British
'public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.Now,over 30 years later,
the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.
People suspected that"Lucky",as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived
with.They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake.His estranged
（分居的）wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months
after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he
may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed.It appears that the night after
the murder,"Lucky"borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he
thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that"Lucky"left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to
France.He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However,after a time,
his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Maclaughlin,a former detective.
He believes that Lucan travelled to Go'a,India,where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan
then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The
man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an ex-schoolteacher. So what is the truth about"Lucky"?DNA
testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.The British public are still interested in the murder case because___________.
A:the murderer was an aristocrat
B:the murderer's DNA has been found
C:the murderer was a famous man
D:the murderer has not been caught答案：D解析：由文章第一段第三句话可知，直到今天，英国民众仍对这起谋杀案感兴趣因为嫌疑犯 Lucan一直没被找到。故选D。
文章第二段讲到，Lucan想去杀掉与他分居的妻子，结果当他在黑夜里进人妻子住的老 房子时却误杀了保姆。他的妻子听到声响下楼看时也被他攻击，但设法逃脱了。故选D。
由文章第三段最后一句话“Lucan' s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.”可知，Aspinall认为Lu- can是通过沉船在英吉利海峡的方式自杀的。故选A。
在文章倒数第二段中讲到“He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in anoth- er country.However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed."，由此得知，把Lucan送到国外的人们担心Lucan被抓 会连累到他们，就把他给杀了。故选A。
题干中的“assumed”出现在“.he assumed the identity of a Mr.Barry Haplin."，结合上下 文，该句意思是“他为自己伪造了Mr.Barry Haplin的假身份”。四个选项的意思分别是A．透 露，揭露；公开；B．建立，创立；C．呈现（某种性质、样子等）；装成某事物；D．变化，改变。故 选C。第三篇 本文主要讲述了“迁徒行动”这一组织用轻型飞机来带领高鸣鹤往南迁徒的事情。 -

第15题：
Passage Five
In America, every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education.
The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over.
After a student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), he must take his driver's test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person does well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver's license.
51. In America, the driver's course mentioned above______.
A. is considered as part of the advanced education
B. is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license
C. is carried on after students graduate from high school
D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high school
正确答案：D51．答案为D 根据第一段every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education可知高中二年级的学生必须修驾驶课。

第16题：
Drunken driving, sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed hy
drunken drivers, adding up an incredible 350,000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American alcohol image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 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.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years' national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the"noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
?Which of the following sentences best concludes the main idea of this passage?A.Drunken driving has caused numerous fatalities in the United States.

第17题：
Drunken driving, sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed hy
drunken drivers, adding up an incredible 350,000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American alcohol image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 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.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years' national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the"noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
What is the author's attitude toward all the laws against drunken driving?A.Optimistic.
B.Pessimistic.
C.Indifferent.
D.Ironic.答案：B解析：根据最后一段最后一句可知，作者对针对酒后驾车的法律所能起到的作用持悲观态度。? -

“Lucky” Lord Lucan一Alive or Dead
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan,a British aristocrat,vanished. The day before,his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too.To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.
Now,over 30 years later,the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA tech-niques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that“Lucky”,as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky” borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that“Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaugh-lin,a former detective.He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa,India.where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an exschoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about Lucky?DNA testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.Ex-detective MacLaughlin claimed that Mr. Barry Haplin______.
A: was an old schoolteacher
B: died in Goa,India
C: was really Lord Lucan in disguise
D: was a merchant答案：C解析：题干意为“公众对这件谋杀案的调查依旧很感兴趣的原因是……”。该题为细节题，而且为细节题中的因果逻辑题，在解题时要注意关注短文中陈述原因的句子，尤其是一些典型用来引出原因的词语和结构，如：because, because of, for, due to, thanks to, owing to等，同时还需要注意英文中的因果逻辑陈述习惯：先果后因。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，在短文前三段中查找相关句，同时留意题干中的修饰词in-terested“感兴趣的”，这样在第一段中找到相关句：To this day the British public（与题干中的名词短语the public呼应）are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found．相关句意为“直到现在，英国民众对这个谋杀案仍然很感兴趣，因为鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”。该句直接陈述了原因，所以C项“鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”是正确的答案。
题干意为“人们认为鲁肯杀了保姆的原因是什么？”该题为细节题，同时也是因果逻辑题。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第二段中找到相关句：People suspected that “Lucky”（指Lucan), as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lu-can entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny．相关句（带有下划线的句子）意为“鲁肯伯爵被朋友称为‘幸运儿’，人们猜测他想要杀了他与之分居的妻子。有人说鲁肯踏进他的老房子，在一片漆黑中错杀了保姆”，由此可知C项“在一片漆黑之中，他误认为她（保姆）是鲁肯夫人”是答案。
题干意为“Aspinall认为鲁肯是怎样自杀的？”该题为细节题，利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第三段中找到相关句：What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky”（指Lucan)borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had com-mitted suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“在谋杀发生的第二天晚上，‘幸运儿’借了一辆车然后开走了，鲁肯的朋友Aspinall在一个采访中表示，他觉得鲁肯伯爵在英吉利海峡中凿沉了自己坐的船，已经自杀了”。由此可知鲁肯的朋友Aspinall认为鲁肯伯爵是凿沉了自己坐的船自杀的，因此答案为D。
题干意为“鲁肯可能已经被杀了，原因是人们……”。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第四段中找到相关句：Another version of events says that “Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“然而，过了一段时间，救他的人开始担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案中，所以他们杀了鲁肯”。由此可知鲁肯可能 已经被杀的原因是人们（帮助鲁肯的人）害怕自己也被卷入到谋杀案中，因此答案为B项“认为如果鲁肯被警方抓住他可能向警方供出他们来”。 -
