Part IV Short Answer Questions
In Britain, the old Road Traffic Act restricted speeds to 2 m. p. h. (miles per hour) in towns and 4 m. p. h. in the country. Later Parliament increased the speed limit to 14 m. p.h. But by 1903 the development of the car industry had made it necessary to raise the limit to 20 m. p. h. By 1930, however, the law was so widely ignored that speeding restrictions were done away with altogether. For five years motorists were free to drive at whatever speeds they liked. Then in 1935 the Road Traffic Act imposed a 30 m. p. h. speed limit in built-up areas, along with the introduction of driving tests and pedestrian crossing.
注：1.ignore 忽略
2.be done away with 取消、废除
3.impose 实施
4."A and B"结构就用"A and B"结构回答
71.During which period could motorist drive without limits?
注：用单词短语，把时间起点终点找出来，然后用介词联起来
From 1930 to 1935
72. What measures were adopted in 1935 in addition to the speeding restrictions?
注：1.measure n.措施；v.衡量
2.题中measures 表明考得是列举语言现象
Driving tests and pedestrian crossing
Speeding is now the most common motoring offence in Britain. Offences for speeding fall into three classes: exceeding the limit on a restricted road, exceeding on any road the limit for the vehicle you are driving, and exceeding the 70 m. p. h. limit on any road. A restricted road is one where the street lamps are 200 yards apart, or more.
注：exceed 超过
73. Speeding is a motoring offence a driver commits when he _________
注：1.offend v. 犯罪；冒犯
2.题中只需要补充一个谓语动词
Key：Exceeds the speed limits
The main controversy (争论) surrounding speeding laws is the extent of their safety value. The Ministry of Transport maintains that speed limits reduce accidents. It claims that when the 30 m. p. h. limit was introduced in 1935 there was a fall of 15 percent in fatal accidents. Likewise, when the 40 m. p. h. speed limit was imposed on a number of roads in London in the late fifties, there was a 28 percent reduction in serious accidents. There were also fewer casualties (伤亡) in the year after the 70 m. p. h. motorway limit was imposed in 1966.
注：maintain 认为
74. What is the opinion of British authorities concerning speeding laws?
注：What+opinion 题型，需要用句子来回答，根据 British authorities 定位第三段
Key：Speed limits reduce accidents
In America, however, it is thought that the reduced accident figures are due rather to the increase in traffic density. This is why it has even been suggested that the present speed limits should be done away with completely, or that a guide should be given to inexperienced drivers and the speed limits m ade advisory, as is done in parts of the USA. 75. What reason do Americans give for the reduction in traffic accidents?
注：根据 Americans 定位第四段
Key：The increase in traffic density
Unit 3
Part IV Short Answer Questions
For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.
Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, "Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn't afford." With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.
Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.
There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.
From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn't mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl's eyes.
Questions: （注意：答题尽量简短，超过10个词要扣分。每条横线限写一个英语单词，标点符号不占格。）
73. What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?
注："A and B"结构

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
36. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _________.
A) sprayed with pesticides
B) in poor physical condition
C) facing an infrared scanner
D) exposed to excessive sun rays
注：when /as/ if 为条件句引导词，定位条件句
37. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _________.
A) locate the problem area
B) draw a color-coded map
C) measure the size of the affected area
D) estimate the damage to the crops
38. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by _________.
A) transforming poisoned rain
B) consulting infrared scanning experts
C) resorting to spot-spraying
D) detecting crop problems at an early date
39. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to ______.
A) the lack of official support
B) its high cost
C) its failure to help increase production
D) the lack of financial support
注：考因果关系
40. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ________.
A) growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
B) the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
C) the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D) full support from agriculture experts
注：back into operation 重操旧业 Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest (害虫) problems.
注：1.文章首句提出问题：植物受到病虫害侵扰会发烧
2.straight up 高空
3.adapt 使用，适用
4.come up with 提出（方案、计划）
5.precisely 准确的、精确的
6.spray 喷射
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
注：1.Mounted on 安装在……之上
2.transform 转变 = trans 变化 + form 形式
3.spot-spray 点喷
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works.
注：1.第一句为现象，后面跟着原因和解释
2.with 因为，因果关系
3.renew 恢复
4.工业产品：product；农业产品：produce
5.refinement 提炼、精炼
"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Qerther of Texas A& M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired form the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
36. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _________.
A) sprayed with pesticides
B) in poor physical condition
C) facing an infrared scanner
D) exposed to excessive sun rays
注：第一段首句的同义改写when句：受到病虫害侵扰的时候
