14、n she created a tool that enabled people to write in the dark. Her invention? The Glo-sheet.That night Becky went home, trying to imagine different ways of making her paper glow in the dark. She remembered all sorts of glow-in-the-dark toys like balls and Frisbees and wondered how they were made. Sh

15、ewas determined to find a solution. So they very next day, Beck s dad took her on an outing to the hardwareThey returned with a pail (桶 ) of phosphorescent paint. She tookthe paint andstacks of paper into the darkestroom in the house the bathroom. There, she experimented.“ I d turn on the light, tur

22、ical Association, offers a picture of howrisky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases w

23、ith each additional passenger.The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of

24、 North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higherdeath rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “ reallystupid behavior”than withjust a lack of drivingexperience.“ The basic issue” , he says,“ is that adults who are responsible for issuing licensesefailhowto recognizcomplex and s

25、killed task the driving is.”Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (減輕 ) the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself c

26、apable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions, before graduating to full driving privileges.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of gradua

27、ted licensing system in place, but only 10 ofthose states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest, with a novice (初學者 ) driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.26.

28、e?A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.27. According to Robert Fos

30、ime learning to drive.B. Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.C. Restrictions should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.D. The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers driving accidents.29. A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenage

31、rs driving accidents is that _.A. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB. they should be prohibited from taking on passengersC. the licensing system should be greatly improved D. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p.m.30.

Yet, dark glasses or not , they findthemselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even

33、 snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of“ snow light ” . The United States Armyhas now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse ofbarren ( 少植被的 ) snow-covered

34、 terrain ( 地形 ). So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature eases this irritation by producing more

35、fluid whichcovers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs (模糊 ), then is obscured ( 遮蔽 ), and the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of

36、troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Thei

37、r eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.

38、31. To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are _.A. indispensable and essentialB. usefulC. ineffectiveD. available32. When the eyes are sore tears are produced to _.A. balance the painB. treat snow-blindnessC. clear the visionD. loosen the muscl

39、es33. Snow-blindness may be avoided by _.A. concentrating on the solid white terrainB. searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrainC. providing the eyes with something to focus onD. covering the eyeballs with more fluid34. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _.C. wa

40、rm themselves in the severe coldD. give the men behind something to see35. A suitable title for this passage would be _.A. natures cure for snow-blindnessB. snow-blindness and how to overcome itC. soldiers marching in the snowD. snow vision and its effect on eyesight第二節(jié)( 共5 小題；每小題2 分，滿分10 分 )根據(jù)短文內容，
