Benjamin Franklin was a creative inventor. He helped 1. draft (起草) the 2. Declaration (宣言) of Independence.His famous 3. experiment (实验) with 4. lightning (闪电) is known to all. The story is that Franklin flew a kite during a storm. A 5. metal (金属) key was 6. attached (绑) to the string which was tied to the kite. A 7. flash (闪光) of lightning hit the kite, and electricity was 8. conducted (导) through the string to the key. However, new research suggests that the story may be 9. fiction (虚构的事) instead of fact. Neither the story nor the details of the experiment (实验) are 10. entirely (完全) true. Similarly,some people have questioned the story about the apple falling on Newton's head, which led him to come up with his 11. theory (理论) of 12. gravity (引力).In fact,more than one 13. account (描述) suggests that there is no 14. proof (证据) that it hit him on the head. The above shows that the 15. procedure (程序) of 16. scientific_experiment (科学实验) must be true.
译文:本杰明·富兰克林是一位富有创造力的发明家。他帮助起草了《独立宣言》。他著名的闪电实验是众所周知的。故事讲的是,富兰克林在暴风雨中放风筝。一把金属钥匙拴在了系在风筝上的线绳上。一道闪电击中了风筝,电通过线绳传到了钥匙上。然而,新的研究表明,这个故事可能是虚构的,而不是事实。故事和实验的细节都不完全真实。无独有偶,有些人也对苹果掉在牛顿头上的故事提出了质疑,正是这个故事使他提出了万有引力理论。事实上,不止一种说法表明,没有证据表明他被击中头部。以上说明科学实验的程序必须要真实。
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Many of the information systems in most vehicles are so distracting that they should not be used while a vehicle is in motion,according to a new study by the University of Utah researchers.The study,led by the psychology professor David L.Strayer, found invehicle information systems take drivers' attention off the road for too long to be safe.
The study reviewed information systems in 30 different vehicles.Participants were required to carry out four types of tasks using voice,touch screens and other technologies. The tasks were to make a call,send a text message,tune the radio or program navigation while driving.
The team developed an advanced rating scale to measure which tasks were the most distracting,how they affect drivers and whether interactions were easier to perform in some vehicles than others.The scale ranged from low to very high demand.
The researchers found drivers using voicebased and touch screen technology took their hands,eyes and mind off the road for more than 24 seconds to complete tasks. Previous research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the risk of a crash doubled when a driver took his or her eyes off the road for two seconds.In the new study,programming navigation was the most distracting task-taking drivers on average 40 seconds to complete.Text messaging was the second most distracting task;audio entertainment,calling and dialing were the easiest to perform.
“We're putting more and more technology in the car that just does not mix with driving,”Strayer said.“We're expecting to see more problems associated with distracted driving as more stuff is at the fingertips of the drivers to distract them,”Researchers said they hoped the new research would help automakers and system designers improve the functions of new information systems and the workload they require of drivers.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents.They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body. ____1____ Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.
America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849.The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device. ____2____ This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.
Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt. ____3____ It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer,Nils Bohlin.His threepoint,lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.
Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place.His invention contained a cloth strap(带子) that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips. ____4____
Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars.This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design for other carmakers.
____5____ He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2002.
A.The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.
B.Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.
C.The design joined the straps next to the hip.
D.There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the seat belt.
E.Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.
F.But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.
G.Claghorn called his invention a safety belt.
[语篇解读] 文章围绕安全带展开话题,介绍了安全带的发明者及最近一项被广泛运用的设计。
1.E [前文谈论安全带的作用,下一句提到安全带在全世界保护了超过一百万人,那么推断中间空白处也应该是讲安全带的好处。综观几个选项,只有E项放进空白处最合适。]
2.G [前文谈论了Edward Claghorn发明了安全设备并申请了专利,后面是讲这个最早版本的安全带如何,可见空白处指Claghorn为该设备命名为安全带。]
3.F [前一句介绍了不同版本的安全带紧随其后,之后详细介绍了Nils Bohlin的设计,他的设计完全就是现行的安全带版本,该设计50年前出现在欧洲,因此F项(100多年过去了,现在的安全带才出现)填入空白处最合适。]
4.C [该段详细介绍了Nils Bohlin的设计,前一句提到设计中的strap,hips,显然此处应接着谈论该内容,因此答案选C。]
5.A [空白处后介绍了他于1995年获得的一项荣誉,由此推断前面应是讲这个瑞典工程师怎么样,所以只有A项放在这里最合适。]
