accidents due to “baby on board” signs and childrens toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research.one in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collisionequivalent to 1.85 million of britains 37 million drivers.the discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charitybrake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.deputy chief executive julie townsend said “baby on board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash.“this help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isnt in the car，” she said.“worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs.drivers priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”a survey arranged by price comparison website c found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety.but 46 percent admit doing so at all timesregardless of whether or not their child is in the carand 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value.the poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.“there are benefits and dangers to baby on board signs.they can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，” said a c spokesman.49what do we learn about

either have it, or you donta sense of direction. but why is it that some people could find their way across the sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. one theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. research being carried out at liverpool university supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says jim maryland, research director of the project. “however, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”jim maryland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. he makes the following suggestions:l if you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing.l if you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a treesomething easy to recognize. note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. when you return, go back along thesame route. l simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.now you will never get lost again!53. scientists believe that _.a. some babies are born with asense of directionb. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderc. people never lose their sense of directiond. everybody has a sense of direction from birth54. what is true of 7-year-old children according to the passage?a. they never have a sense of direction without maps.b. they should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.c. they have a sense of direction and can find their way around.d. they can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.55. if you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.a. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenb. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isc. avoid taking the same route when you come back to itd. remember something easily recognizable on the route56. according to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to _.来a. ask policemen or other people around for directionsb. use wells, streams, and streets to guide yourselfc. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsd. count the number of landmarks that you seedyoung men often give flowers to young women when they are in love. this tradition may have come from turkey. in the 1700s in turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to send each other baskets full of strange things. the baskets were delivered secretly to the person who was receiving it. usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the persons door. these baskets included a variety of “gifts”: flowers, stones, feathers, wax, and even charcoal. each thing in the basket had a special meaning. by figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feeling of the person who sent it. this idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to germany, france, and england. however, as time passed, only flowers remained popular. an innocent bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feeling in the hearts of young men. each different flower held a different meaning. for example, the flowers from an orange tree meant, “you are beautiful and pure.” pink carnations meant, “my love for you is strong and great.” yellow roses, on the other hand, meant, “i saw you with someone else.” many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. not all of the dictionaries agreed, however, on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send. by the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.57. what did the items in the basket explain to the receiver? a. the receivers appearance.b. the senders emotions. c. the feeling of the receiver.d. the love between them.58. if a french young man of the 1850s wanted to send his beloved girl a gift, he would probably choose . a. flowers and feathersb. yellow roses c. pink carnationsd. nothing except a love letter59. the text suggests that . a. turks still keep their tradition of sending baskets b. flower dictionaries were made to help young ladies c. people still use flowers to send secret messages d. people dont use flower dictionaries any longer60. what is likely to be the title of this text? a. say it with flowersb. flowers and secretsc. strange traditiond. love for flowers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框af选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。a. gift giving proven to be valuable.b. memories from gift giving.c. moments and events for gift giving.d. various functions of gift givinge. gift giving as a wasteful practice.f. gift giving as a two-way social activity.gift giving61_there are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies; birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, new year, it is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. in addition, special events, such as one s first day of school or graduation fromuniversity, often require gift giving.62_what is happening when we give gifts? most important, we are exchanging gifts. if someone gives me a gift for my birthday, i know that i am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. a gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务).63_gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. people say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person“feel special.”we want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. we give presents to say “im sorry. ”sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. in all these cases, the gifts are sending out messagesoften very expressive ones.64_people tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. a woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. these were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “iappreciatethese, and they mean something to me, ” the woman said, “because i remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we
