Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.

Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.

Now the American 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 stripes 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 traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed--- related hazards are the greatest--- curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.

Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially 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 bar.

Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

63. The passage mainly discusses ___________.

A. a new way of highway speed control B. a new pattern for painting highways C. a new approach to training drivers D. a new type of optical illusion 64. 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 approaching the speed limit 65. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former__________. A. can keep drivers awake B. can cut road accidents in half C. will have a longer effect on drivers D. will look more attractive

66. The American Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to __________. A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas. B. change the road signs across the tested areas C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons D. repeat the Japanese road patterns

D

Today we bring you an old tale. It’s the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of straw and one made of sticks. The only house left standing was the one made of bricks. Now there is new evidence to suggest that houses built with bales of straw can be very strong. They are also very environmental.

Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain. He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bales and hemp material. During the next twelve months the team will study the effectiveness of these materials in home building. Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.

Professor Walker: “One of the benefits is it’s a relatively inexpensive renewable material that’s readily available.” He also agrees that straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows and helps the environment in other ways. So it can be seen as having no harmful effects on the environment.

Professor Walker: “The straw bale walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation. So we make buildings that require very little heating in the winter or indeed very little cooling in the summer. So they require very little additional energy.”

Professor Walker says this reduces home operating expenses. It also reduces the effect on the environment. He says the current interest in straw bale houses is a direct response to the problem of climate change.

David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction. He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw. But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales made a lot of sense. He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted.

To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw. Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster. He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire. Mr. Lanfear says straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance. And he says his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain.

David Lanfear: “We use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof.”

67. What’s David Lanfear’s attitude towards the straw houses at last?

A. Ridiculous. B. Approving. C. Defensive. D. Unbelievable. 68. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Using straw to build houses is dearer than using bricks.

B. The houses built with bales of straw are stronger than those built with bricks. C. Straw which is convenient to get is much cheaper than thick bricks. D. Houses made of bricks are no better than those made of straw.

69. The disadvantage of the house built with straw bales is ________________. A. having no harmful effects on the environment B. requiring very little additional energy C. reducing home operating expenses D. keeping out rain

70. According to the passage, we know that ________________. A. the house made of straw bales is still under research

B. the house made of straw bales is the same as the traditional one C. there is some experience in building the straw houses D. it’s uncertain that the straw house can be very strong

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? ___71____ . Yet a very young child – or even an animal, such as a pigeon — can learn to recognize faces. We all take this for granted.

____72____ . When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. ____73____ . But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. ___74___ . Bookworms, conservatives, military types – people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. ____75____ .

71________ 72________ 73________ 74________ 75________

A. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” look like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. B. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad buys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

C. We also tell people apart by how they behave.

D. People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.

E. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. F. Experts say that actors differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics in acting.

G. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.
