212980. （2023•长安区一中•高一上期中） The hardest thing about planning a big European vacation is actually narrowing down where to go—there are just so many amazing places.That's why we've put together what we think are the best cities in Europe.
   AMSTERDAM，NETHERLANDS
   Amsterdam is the kind of city that you can't help but fall in love with.It's the kind of place where you dream about moving and buying an apartment that overlooks （俯瞰） a peaceful river.It's relaxing and you get a sense that the locals have an amazing quality of free life.We love simply walking around the canals and exploring the city's neighborhoods.
   BERLIN，GERMANY
   Berlin is said to be "poor but charming" and we think that's a pretty good description.Actually，Berlin is becoming more expensive as its popularity grows，but it's still the top spot for Germany's artistic scene.Berlin isn't particularly pretty but it's an energetic city with cool people and cooler graffiti-covered （涂鸦） neighborhoods.
   LISBON，PORTUGAL
   Lisbon is a hot destination and I doubt it will be quickly moving up in the ranks of Europe's most visited cities.Lisbon is a popular coastal city that's famous for its unique buildings and charming café culture.It's also very friendly on the wallet when compared to other Western European cities—food and lodging are both priced reasonably and attractions are about average.
   FLORENCE，ITALY
   Florence may be touristy but that's no reason to ignore this birthplace of the Renaissance （文艺复兴）.If you do your research，you can find plenty of excellent Italian restaurants and world-class ice cream.And，of course，the city is beautiful and home to top museums so it's a dream for art and history lovers.

（1）Which city best suits people holidaying on the cheap？
A．BERLIN，GERMANY.
B．FLORENCE，ITALY.
C．LISBON，PORTUGAL
.D．AMSTERDAM，NETHERLANDS.
（2）What do BERLIN and FLORENCE have in common？
A．They are famous for food.
B．They are attractive to artists.
C．They are cities of scenic beauty.
D．They are of political importance.
（3）Where is the text probably from？
A．A news report.
B．A travel magazine.
C．A restaurant advertisement.
D．A science column.

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据LISBON，PORTUGAL部分的It's also very friendly on the wallet when compared to other Western European cities—food and lodging are both priced reasonably and attractions are about average.（与其他西欧城市相比，它也非常划算——食物和住宿的价格都很合理，景点也都在平均水平左右。）可知，葡萄牙的里斯本是最划算的城市。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Actually，Berlin is becoming more expensive as its popularity grows，but it's still the top spot for Germany's artistic scene.（事实上，随着柏林越来越受欢迎，它的价格越来越贵，但它仍然是德国艺术景观的首选。）和第五段最后一句And，of course，the city is beautiful and home to top museums so it's a dream for art and history lovers.（当然，这座城市很漂亮，有很多顶级博物馆，所以它是艺术和历史爱好者的梦想。）可知，柏林和佛罗伦萨都有着浓厚的艺术气息，对艺术家很有吸引力。因此可知，柏林和佛罗伦萨的共同之处是都对艺术家有吸引力。A．They are famous for food.他们以食物闻名；B．They are attractive to artists.它们对艺术家很有吸引力；C．They are cities of scenic beauty.它们都是风景优美的城市；D．They are of political importance.它们具有重要的政治意义。故选B。
（3）文章出处题。根据文章第一段The hardest thing about planning a big European vacation is actually narrowing down where to go—there are just so many amazing places.That's why we've put together what we think are the best cities in Europe. （计划一次欧洲大度假最难的事情其实是缩小要去的地方——那里有太多令人惊叹的地方了。这就是为什么我们把我们认为的欧洲最好的城市汇集在一起。）以及后面每一段对于欧洲几个城市的介绍可知，这篇文章主要介绍了几个欧洲的最好的旅游城市。因此推断文章来自于旅游杂志。故选B。

212619. （2025•西光中学•高一下期中）     Many travellers are familiar with the UNESCO's World Heritage List.However，less is known about the organization's List of World Heritage in Danger.It currently specifies 53 World Heritage sites under threat of "serious and specific dangers" due to factors such as climate change，armed conflict，and development pressures.The accelerated degeneration of these cultural treasures is a reality that should concern the world，since the younger generation may not have the opportunity to visit them.
    For this reason，insurance company Budget Direct，and NeoMam Studios，a creative studio based in the UK，have created a series of GIFs to restore World Heritage sites and demonstrate what these ruins would have looked like if they had been preserved.

204222. （2023•长安区一中•高二下期末）     A promotion （促销活动） offering 98 yuan domestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese online travel platform LY.COM.While such a low price sounds amazing，there is just one catch： the purchaser is not told where the flight is heading，nor when it will take off.
   The promotion has become a trending topic on Chinese social media as some people have been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming May Day holiday.Labeled as a "destination blind box" on the site，tickets are purchased through a rather simple booking procedure，in which passengers provide their travel information，select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan.If the randomly chosen date and destination are unsuitable，users may ask for a refund，but once they "lock in" their tickets，there is no going back.
   "Destination blind box" is now a hot topic on China's online platforms. "I believe young people are a big target demographic （特定年龄段人口） for this promotion，because they not only enjoy the thrill of the unknown，but also like to show off their lives through these types of commercial activities.Like this one for instance，it doesn't matter if they finally go or not.Booking a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-loving qualities，" said Fan，a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation clients.
   Many people not only shared the screenshots of tickets they drew，some even came up with a tutorial to teach the booking procedure under the free cancelling policy.However，some others claimed it is too rare to draw a ticket that is ideal. "If it wants to be a profitable activity，the release of the tickets must have been planned ahead and is not as random as it seems.It will not have popular airlines.The marketing campaign may also be aimed at the fast sale of some tickets from less popular airlines that were originally not that expensive.If they sell a large quantity of tickets，the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan，" an expert in tourism suggested.

（1）Which of the following best explains "catch" underlined in paragraph 1？
A．Benefit.
B．Mistake.
C．Disadvantage.
D．Charm.
（2）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．The origin of "destination blind box".
B．The purchase introduction to "destination blind box".
C．The original purpose of "destination blind box".
D．The popularity of "destination blind box".
（3）Why will "destination blind box" appeal to young people according to Fan？
A．It allows them to experience various adventures.
B．It satisfies their desire to travel around China.
C．It helps them save money on the cost of travel.
D．It accords with their lifestyle and attitudes.
（4）In which part of a newspaper can you find this article？
A．Economy.
B．Science.
C．Culture.
D．Advertisement.

213247. （2023•交大附中•高二上期中）     Here are four beautiful lakes in the world，each of which can be your next destination.
    Lake Bled，Slovenia
    Few lakes in Europe come as postcard-ready as Slovenia's Lake Bled.Located in the snow-capped Julian Alps about a 45-minute drive outside of the capital city of Ljubljana，it's best known for the fairytale-like Church of the Assumption，which sits on a pocket-sized island in the lake and has been attracting visitors for centuries.
    Lake Annecy，France
    Thanks to strict environmental rules set in place in the 1960s，Lake Annecy is an undamaged body of water that's often called the cleanest lake in Europe.As a home base，you can't beat（避开）Annecy，which has been called the Venice of the Alps for its series of canals，and the Imperial Palace，which has more than 100 years.

213212. （2023•滨河中学•高一上期中） You've probably experienced this before：when returning from a round trip，the trip home felt shorter.What is the scientific basis for this？
   Some theories include the power of expectation.Especially for vacations，the anticipation of finally reaching your destination can make the experience of traveling there feel longer because you can't wait to get there.Additionally，if the trip to the location takes longer than expected，we may readjust our expectations of the length of the trip so that the trip back feelorter and thus more pleasant.
   Another theory is how humans take time to learn and become more familiar with new sights.When faced with new stimuli or experiences，we feel as if time is getting slower to allow more brain processing time.This contributes to why elder people often remark that time goes faster the more they age because being older often means fewer new experiences，so there is less need for the brain to interpret time more slowly to pay more attention to solving a problem.
   In the case of the "return trip effect，" after viewing the landmarks on the road while getting to the destination，it is easier to recognize these points on the way back.Having less sense of puzzle and being more certain of one's surroundings can make time feel faster.This is similar to how many activities can feel natural after learning the process.For example，when you first learn to ride a bike，you carefully strategize your speed and balance，but after a while of practicing，your mind is freer to wander off.
   This "return trip effect" is most notably noticed after reflecting on how long a trip to an unfamiliar location took.This explains why the "return trip effect" is usually associated with vacations and not daily commutes to work or school because by then，the sights are so familiar that humans can more accurately measure the time spent going to and back from a location.

（1）Why do elder people feel time flies？
A．They have fewer new stimuli to process.
B．They have low expectations for the future.
C．Their problem-solving ability declines.
D．Their brain tends to misinterpret time.
（2）What does the example of learning to ride a bike in paragraph 4 prove？
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Familiarity speeds up time.
C．The journey of life is full of uncertainties.
D．Similar landmarks cause confusion with time.
（3）Which trip may feel the longest？
A．The trip to school.
B．The trip to a strange place.
C．The trip home from school.
D．The trip home from a strange place.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．How can we make a long trip relatively short？
B．What is the scientific basis for time travel？
C．How long can the "return trip effect" last？
D．Why does the "return trip effect" occur？

204163. （2023•周至四中•高二下期末） Fairy Tale-Like Destinations You Can See in Real Life Zhangjiajie National Forest Park （China）
    Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is part of the larger protected Wulingyuan Scenic Area in China's Hunan province.The 3，000 towering sandstone pillars in this huge park are breathtaking.Some are more than 600 feet tall，and most have vegetation growing on their sides and summits.
    The Chocolate Hills（Philippines）
    There are around 1，776 hills covering a 20-square-mile area in the towns of Carmen，Batuan，and Sagbayan，each with a seemingly perfect conical shape.The hills range from 100 feet to almost 400 feet in height.The most widely accepted theory of their origin is that they consist of coral deposits（珊瑚沉积物） that were forced upward due to rainwater and erosion.
    Much of the year，the hills are covered with green grass，which increases their charming appearance.However，during the dry season，the grass turns deep brown，giving them their "chocolate"tag.
    Deadvlei（Namibia）
    Deadvlei，also spelled Dead Vlei，is a plain surrounded by red sand dunes in the Namib Desert.The site is so unique because trees once grew there，but shifting dunes and climate change killed the vegetation over time.The air was so dry that the trees never rotted，thus becoming skeletons.But they are not scary.These rare trees are estimated to be around 900 years old.The combination of tall red dunes，bright clay flats，and tree skeletons combine to create a fantastic atmosphere that inspires tourists to visit.
    Lake Hillier（Australia）
    Lake Hillier sits on Middle Island off the coast of Western Australia.Hillier is a small lake，less than 2，000 feet in length，but it grabs people's attention because of its incredible bright pink color.It is especially noticeable because it contrasts with the neighboring blue ocean and the surrounding green leaves.
    Why the lake is pink is not 100%clear，but the theory is that it's caused by the interaction between the salty water and a specific type of micro algae （微藻类） that grows well under these specific conditions.

（1）Of the following destinations，whose popularity is least related to color？
A．Deadvlei.
B．Lake Hillier.
C．The Chocolate Hills.
D．Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
（2）What made tree skeletons in Deadvelei？
A．The sand dunes.
B．The dry air.
C．The clay flats.
D．The salty soil.
（3）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To analyze the formation of some scenic spots.
B．To explain the roles of color in fairy tales.
C．To introduce some fascinating scenic areas.
D．To show the ways of visiting exceptional destinations.

203937. （2024•鄠邑二中•高一下期末）     The vast majority of Spain's trains will be free until the end of the year in a new program.People visiting the West European country can now whizz （飞速行驶） across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost.As well as being much better for the environment than air travel，sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.
    Under Spain's new program，all short and medium train rides are free—with the right ticket—providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia，Andalucia and the Basque Country.Tourists can take advantage of the discounts，which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis，if they buy multi-journey tickets. "I'd like the people of Spain to know that I'm fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have，" a senior official said. "I know salaries cover less and less and that it's difficult to get to the end of the month." The country's Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply.
    Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport，with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August.Austria has started offering a climate ticket，which allows people to complete journeys for just €3.When it was first launched last year，the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash.The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains，despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause.Instead，the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months，encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.

（1）What can be inferred about the program？
A.People still have doubt about it.
B.It is of benefit to the environment.
C.The trains in Spain are completely free now.
D.Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs.
（2）What is the main purpose of introducing the program？
A.To lower fuel prices.
B.To relieve the stress of airline business.
C.To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain.
D.To show the government's concern for the public.
（3）What does the author think of the UK government's practice？
A.Unwise.
B.Admiring.
C.Perfect.
D.Praiseworthy.
（4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph？
A.The practices on public transport in some countries.
B.The economic benefits of the program.
C.The program's great benefits to health.
D.The popularity of the climate ticket.

202814. （2020•铁一中学•五模） The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago．Recent NASA satellites data（2000-2017）have shown that human activities in China and India dominate this greening of the planet，thanks to ambitious tree-planting programmes in China and intensive agriculture in both countries．
   The researchers from Boston University found that global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent in the new century，an area equal to all of the Amazon rainforest．China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area．China's contribution comes in large part from its programmes to conserve and expand forests，taking up about 42 percent of the greening．The greening from farmlands in China is about 32%，but that in India is about 82%．
   Rama Nemani，a research scientist at NASA's Ames Research Centre and a co-author of the study said， "When the greening of the Earth was first observed，we thought it was due to a warmer，wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．But with data from NASA satellites，scientists realized that humans are also contributing，which was all against our expectations．"
   Nemani sees a positive message in the new findings． "Once people realize there is a problem，they tend to fix it，" he said． "In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China，the situation around vegetation loss was not good．In the 1990s，people realized it，and today things have improved．Humans are incredibly resilient．That is what we see in the satellite data．"
   However，the researchers rang bells as well．They said that the gain in global greenness did not necessarily make up for the loss of natural vegetation in regions like Brazil and Indonesia．

（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The decreasing size of the Amazon rainforest．
B．China's bigger contribution to global greening．
C．Total global green leaf area in the new century．
D．China's programmes to conserve and expand forests．
（2）What surprised scientists regarding global greening？
A．Human activities．
B．Suitable for analyzing data．
C．A warmer and wetter climate．
D．Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．
（3）What does the underlined word "resilient" probably mean？
A．Good at making programmes．
B．Suitable for analyzing data．
C．Able to make corrections．
D．Active in planting trees．
（4）What does the last paragraph imply？
A．It is urgent to protect global natural resources．
B．Much remains to be done for global greenness．
C．Brazil and Indonesia lose most of their vegetation．
D．Global greenness needs all countries to work together．

205489. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） Churchill，Manitoba is a small town．The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay．It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers．
   It happens like clockwork every fall that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight．The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619．That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bear while they wintered in the area． "It was of good taste and did not disagree with us．" That's what Munk wrote in his journal．
   Over the years，the animals' coming has earned the town the name of "Polar Bear Capital of the World．" Today，Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population．There used to be about 7，000 residents but now only 813 living there．There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980．The town might have been in terrible financial hardships．But the growing bear tourism industry helped．
   Today，some 10，000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year．But the reasons why they come are different from before．Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears．Now things have changed because the word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears，Churchill Bears，are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out．So when the tourists come up，they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats（如鲠在喉）because they're looking at a beautiful bear，but they're also looking at a dying-out bear，which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different．Unfortunately，that's becoming the major part of the whole attraction of the tours as well．Come and see the bears before it's too late．

（1）What can we learn about Churchill polar bears from the text？

205527. （2020•蓝田县•高三上期末） Almost like a clock tower，a town in the western highlands of Guatemala has been able to practically tell the time by the regular eruptions of a local volcano.In the town of Quetzaltenango，volcanoes have erupted so frequently that they have nearly marked every passing hour of every day for 96 years.
   The source is Santiaguito，one of the world's most active volcanoes.It is situated at the base of the large volcano Santa Maria.It took shape about twenty years after the violent eruption of Santa Maria in 1902.
   "Since then，almost continuous small explosions have happened along with the growth of Santiaguito，" says Stephanie Grocke，a volcanologist. "There has not been a long period of time since 1922 when Santiaguito was quiet."
   Scientists are trying to figure out what is causing the regular activity at Santiaguito.Grocke adds. "What we know for sure is that magma（岩浆） and gas are steadily rising from deep within the system，allowing the volcano to continuously show signs of life，" Grocke says.
   A possible explanation is that before an explosion，the vent，or opening，at the top of Santiaguito is closed，trapping hot gases and magma below.As the gas builds up，the pressure increases and eventually tears through the tops sealed vent，letting out the gases and sending magma and rocks skyward.Santiaguito eventually runs out of fuel，causing eruptions to stop.The materials that were sent out cover the top，reclosing Santiaguito's vent and starting the process over again.
   The sizes of the eruptions are never the same，Grocke say.Most often，they tend to small，producing mainly ash plumes（火山灰） that can reach a height of nearly 1，640 feet，lava flows that travel about two miles from the top.However，there are some eruptions they are very hazardous.
   "At times，larger explosions happen，producing ash plumes that rise less than kilometers above the vent." Grocke ways.Such cases can result in hot fast moving flow made up of gas，ash，and rock，which can be deadly to local communities.Volcanic mudflow are also another serious risk.

（1）When did Santiaguito form according to the text？
A．Around 1806.
B．Around 1902.
C．Around 1922.
D．Around 1942.
（2）Which of the following about Santiaguito have scientists understood？
A．When the volcano stops erupting
B．Why the regular activity changes
C．What is happening inside the volcano
D．How fast the magma and gas are rising
（3）What happens after Santiaguito erupts？
A．The vent is closed again.
B．Cooler gases are produced.
C．The fuel inside gradually increases.
D．More openings form at Santiaguito's top.
（4）What does the underlined word "hazardous" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？
A．Weak.

205509. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） A recent study conducted by researchers from Canada's Wilfrid Laurier University found that the snakes actively seek out socialization with their peers （同伴），but also they are extremely particular about who they spend time with．However，snakes used to be thought of as solitary animals．They are seldom seen hanging out in groups．
   A team of researchers led by Morgan Skinner and Dr．Noam Miller selected 40 non-poisonous garter snakes （袜带蛇）．Ten were purchased from a snake keeper and the rest were caught in the wild．After marking each snake with a spot of color to allow for easy identification，the researchers placed ten snakes inside each of the four plastic shelters．
  Skinner photographed each snake group twice a day before removing them from their shelters．After cleaning the areas thoroughly to rid them of any familiar smells，the reptiles were rearranged into different groups，and returned to the enclosure．A camera fixed over the shelters allowed the scientists to track the animals' movements for a total of eight days．
   When Skinner and Miller analyzed the images，they found that regardless of where they were placed，the snakes always slipped back to their original "friends" forming groups of three or eight inside the small shelters． "They can tell others apart，" Miller said．
   Gordon Burghardt，a biologist，says， "The study should help convince people that snakes have more social intelligence than most of us realize．"
   Miller believes the research could help with snake protection efforts．Endangered snake species relocated to safer habitats often leave these areas．Now，conservationists may be able to avoid that by transferring entire snake groups to the new location．Alternatively，they could also spray（喷洒）the new habitat with the species' smells to make transplants feel at "home．"

（1）What does the underlined word "solitary" mean in paragraph 1？
A．Causing fear．
B．Existing only in small numbers．
C．Causing death or illness．
D．Enjoying being alone．
（2）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．The findings can contribute to snake conservation．
B．Snakes like to spray smells on the trees．
C．Snakes are easy to adapt to new locations．
D．Snakes tend to stay in safer habitats．
（3）Which of the following proverbs can be used to describe the findings？
A．Barking dogs don't bite．
B．The early bird catches worms．
C．Things of one kind come together．
D．A friend in need is a friend in deed．
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？
A．Entertainment．
B．Science．
C．Education．
D．Health．

202673. （2020•西安中学•三模） Even though vaccination（接种疫苗） is a powerful defense against disease，some voices are against it．In a recent letter，the American Medical Association（AMA） urged big social media including Amazon，Facebook and Google to take action to defend medical science on their platforms．
   It said that vaccine-preventable diseases that do harm to the public health like measles（麻疹） are on the rise．Measles cases worldwide jumped more than 30% in 2017 compared to 2016，with the largest increases seen among nations in the Americas，Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean．Vaccine-preventable diseases are increasing largely because many people are unwilling to get vaccinated．And some of these people even encourage others to refuse vaccination．So this year，the World Health Organization （WHO） declared the anti-vaccination movement a top-10 health threat．
   "Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease - it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year，and a further 15 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved，" WHO said．
   A research article published in 1998 in a medical journal suggested a link between a vaccine and the development of autism（自闭症） in young children．Although the research has been suspected and many other studies have proved that vaccinations do not cause autism，the article is still impressing people strongly today．Another reason for the growth in the anti-vaccination movement is widespread misinformation on social media，which can turn people against vaccination．If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their Newsfeed that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines，it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children's physicians and public health experts and refuse to follow the recommended vaccination schedule．So access to true information about vaccine safety is badly needed．

（1）What does the AMA require social media to do on their platforms？
A．Unite to develop new vaccines．
B．Stop vaccine misinformation．
C．Give up the anti-vaccination movement．
D．Introduce vaccine-preventable diseases．
（2）Why does the author mention the measles cases？
A．To declare measles can be prevented．
B．To prove vaccination doesn't work well．
C．To show the result of anti-vaccination．
D．To explain the reason for avoiding vaccination．
（3）Which of the following DOESN'T play a role in the anti-vaccination movement？
A．The costs of vaccination．
B．People's concerns over vaccine safety．
C．A research relating vaccination to autism．
D．Misinformation spread on social media platforms．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards vaccination？
A．Doubtful
B．Ambiguous
C．Positive
D．Negative

204981. （2022•铁路中学•高二上期末） A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
   The system，called Driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%-40% that are caused by tiredness.Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
   Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband（腕带）.The device，worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey.After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel（方向盘）.A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.
   Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response time.Usually，a watchful driver would use about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
   In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest.If the driver's response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
   The device has been delivered to the department's laboratories for testing.If these tests，scheduled for six months' time，are successful，the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.

（1）Driver Alert is a device that can         .
A．keep drivers asleep
B．change drivers' response accuracy
C．reduce the possibility of accidents
D．protect drivers when accidents happen
（2）What does the underlined word "fatigue" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Illness.
B．Tiredness.
C．Carelessness.
D．Impoliteness.
（3）How does Driver Alert work？
A．By being used as a nonstop alarm all the time.
B．By squeezing the steering wheel on the way.
C．By reminding or warning drivers if necessary.
D．By being worn on drivers' hands every moment.
（4）What do we know about Driver Alert？
A．It must be fixed on the driver's cars.
B．It aims to prevent drivers from sleeping.
C．It has gone through testing at laboratories.
D．It isn't available to drivers at the moment.
