Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Passage 1 Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes (撞毁). Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent strips, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of strips on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal (致命) traffic accidents, according to the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the Foundation will carry its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (危险) are the greatest—curves (弯), exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars (水平障碍物) painted across roads can initially (最初) cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are, but also make a lane (车道) appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
2. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ______.
A.they should avoid speed-related hazards
B.they are driving in the wrong lane
C.they should slow down their speed
D.they are coming near to the speed limit
A B C D

A.can keep drivers awake
B.can cut road accidents in half
C.will look more attractive
D.will have a longer effect on drivers
A B C D
D
[解析] 推理判断题。由最后两段对比可知,人字形线比直线、水平线对控制车速有更长久的影响。
4. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______.
A.try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B.change the road signs across the country
C.replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons

Passage 2 Car servicing is something that every car owner has to experience at least some time of the year. The best method to service your car is to go to your car service station and have the servicing done methodically (有条理地) according to your car maker. Consider this: Your car is up and running smoothly but the mileage (里程) figures indicate that you need to have it serviced. Certainly, this is the right thing to do but have you wondered what actually goes in to make you pay that servicing bill every 6 months? Servicing your car is a simple DIY (Do It Yourself) job that you can learn quickly and easily to save some good money. If you have never serviced your car before personally, here's your resource: Car servicing essentially means inspecting the car thoroughly for any damaged components, and replacing some parts regularly that wear out over time. If you review carefully it is certainly possible to do all this by yourself, as below: You will need a complete set of tools as provided by your car maker when you purchased the vehicle. This will usually consist of all the spanners (扳手) that you might need. Completely servicing your car will need a few hours but you will end up saving a lot of money. Besides, it's fun too and a lot of learning.
1. What is the best way to service your car?

Passage 3 Persons who are overweight should watch their diet carefully in order to lose pounds. The best way to do this is to start a weight control program. At first it is wise to talk with your doctor. He can advise you of the number of calories (卡路里) you should have in your meals each day. He can tell you about exercising while on your diet. A good rule is to lose slowly. A loss of a pound or two is plenty. Plan meals around foods you know. This means that it is wise to include foods that you are used to and that are part of your regular eating habits. When you have lost the weight you wish, simple items can be added to your diet so that you can maintain the weight you want. While you are dieting, try to build a pattern of eating that you can follow later to maintain your desired weight. When dieting, choose low-calorie foods. Avoid such items as fats, fried food, sweets, cakes, cream and soft drinks. Try to take coffee and tea without sugar or cream. Snacks can be part of your diet.

Passage 4 Most personal managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record. But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, "This can be a serious problem of employers," examine Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. "The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies." Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission. Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. "Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasinglydishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort." Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy—style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.

A.complete truths

[解析] 推理判断题。依据短文第三段的“Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.”可推知应聘者在简历上有意隐瞒一些不利的信息以免被发现真实的情况,故选A,其中leaving out...和原文中omission同义。
4. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we ______.
A.examine the resumes carefully
B.inspect the candidates aggressively
C.correct the resumes intentionally
D.compare one's resume with others'
A B C D

Should We Help Strangers?
Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind. We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home. On the other hand, helping others can make us happy. We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand. However, some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers. They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated. Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know. Moreover, there are times when we have physical limitations. For instance, we can't swim but a girl is drowning, what should we do? If we are blind to that limitation, giving a hand would conversely take our life. In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help those needed strangers. Meanwhile, we should be aware of getting cheated and use our common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats. Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police for help.
