26、

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle university has turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older driver. So that they can discover what the old really need while driving. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a tall in health and happiness among older people. It may make them become more lonely.

Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team is developing some new technologies that are used inside cars. They want to make it possible to help older drivers to continue driving into later life. These technologies include custom-made navigation (定制导航) tools, night vision (可视) systems and intelligent speed systems. Phil Blythe explains: For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for keeping their independence, giving them the freedom to get out without having to depend on others. But we all have to accept that fact: as we get older, we do everything more and more slowly. As a result, it's difficult for older people to avoid any possible dangers while they are driving. And many of them will lose confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."

Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to solve these problems." For example, most of us would expect older drivers to go slower than everyone else. but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones (区域), they try to keep at a constant speed. Some of them even break the speed limit (限制) and face to be punished. We're going out of our way to set up systems which can control their speed as a way of preventing that.

"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to make sure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."

【1】What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?

A.To repair some old cars B.To design new types of cars.

C.To find out older driver's problems. D.To teach people traffic rules.

【2】Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?

A.It keeps them independent. B.It helps them save time. C.It builds up their creativity.   D.It is good for their health.

【3】What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?

A.Improve their driving skills. B.Help them continue to drive cars.

C.Recycle iron from their old cars. D.Organize a driving club for the old.

【4】The expression "constant speed" in Paragraph3 probably means "________" in Chinese.

A.超速 B.限速 C.匀速 D.极速

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A.A New Model Electric Car B.A Solution To Traffic Problem

C.Service From DriveLAB D.Keeping Older Drivers On The Road

27、 阅读下面的短文，判断下列句子是否符合短文内容。符合的写A，不符合的写B.

Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May, and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children often give gifts and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.

28、Why do some people eat too much? Is it because they’re hungry? Or is there a scientific e【1】?

There are a number of theories（理论）to explain over eatintg. One factor depends on the time of day. “It’s all part of a h【2】.” says Randy Seeley, a professor in Cincinnati. “You’re hungry at noon because that’s the time you’ve eaten lunch for the past 100 days.” A【3】 reason we may eat more than necessary is because the body needs to s【4】 a sweet tooth or a craving（渴望）for sugar. Drinking alcohol also makes people eat more, because the body wants something to absorb the alcohol.

Overeating can also be a biological question. For example, your body temperature can tell your brain that you feel h【5】.

“Your body temperature drops when it’s time to eat, and eating warms you up,” says Gina Harlow, a professor at Harvard University. Also, the smell of certain foods can make us imagine the p【6】 of eating them. Harlow adds, “If you know you love French fries, smelling them will make you want to eat them because you know how good they are. And that can l【7】 to eating too many.”

So, the next time you realize you’ve eaten too much, don’t worry about it. You can always blame it on science.
