Often the surrounding context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word. Even if you cant work out the meaning exactly, you may be able to get a vague idea, enough to enable you to continue reading.Sometimes it is impossible to guess the meaning of a word from the context and then you will have to decide whether the word is important enough to make it worth stopping and looking it up in a dictionary, or whether you can just pass it by.Many times in your reading, you will come across words which you dont know, but do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text. You can make your dictionary much more efficient if you only look up the words which are necessary to understand the text, and this means that you must develop the skill to decide whether the words are worth looking up.47. The passage mainly tells us in our reading what we should do_.A. without knowledge of EnglishB. when we look up words in a dictionary C. when we are guessing new wordsD. without using a dictionary48. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?A. We can guess all the words we dont know from the context.B. Sometimes we can pay no attention to the new words which are not very important.C. We can try to guess some new words and get a clear meaning from the context.D. Its unnecessary for us to look up all the new words in a dictionary.49. Even if you cant work out the meaning exactly, you may be able to get a vague idea. Here “vague” means_.A. mysterious B. not clear C. exact D. important50. In our reading some words which we dont know_.A. help us to understand the text wellB. dont prevent us from understanding the main points of the textC. will be remembered foreverD. are borrowed from other languages51. In this passage the writer_.A. advised us to use the dictionary as much as possibleB. told us not to be discouraged by the sight of a dictionaryC. gave us some advice on how to deal with these unknown wordsD. introduced some ways to take notes in the course of reading CToday the car seems to make great progress in many ways. A variety of technologies that assist drivers are appearing on new cars. A developing technology called Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication, or V2V, is being tested by car producers to help reduce the number of accidents. V2V works by using wireless signals to send information back and forth between cars about their location, speed and direction, so that they keep safe distances from each other. Another new technology being tested is Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication, or V2I. V2I would allow vehicles to communicate with road signs or traffic signals and provide information to the vehicle about safety issues. V2I could also request traffic information from a traffic management system and access the best possible routes. Both V2V and V2I have the potential to reduce around 80 percent of vehicle crashes on the road.More and more new cars can read traffic signs, maintain a safe distance in steady traffic and brake automatically to avoid crashes. Moreover, a number of firms are creating cars that drive themselves to a chosen destination without a human at the controls. It is predicted that driverless cars will be ready for sale within five years. If and when cars go completely driverless, the benefits will be enormous. Google, which already uses prototypes(雏形) of such cars to ferry its staff along Californian freeways, once put a blind man in such a car and filmed him being driven off to buy takeaway hamburgers. If this works, huge numbers of elderly and disabled people are able to travel around on their own more conveniently. The young will not have to pay expensive motor insurance, because their reckless(鲁莽的) hands and feet will no longer touch the wheel or the accelerator. People who go to work by car will gain hours each day to rest or read a newspaper in the car.52. Which of the following statements is true about V2V?A. V2V communication has been very well developed.B. Through V2V, a car can go around beyond the speed limit.C. Through V2V, drivers can chat with each other on the road.D. V2V is designed to decrease crashes by keeping safe distances.53. What does “infrastructure” in Vehicle-to-Infrastructure probably refer to in this passage?A. Traffic signs and information systems. B. Roads, bridges and buildings.C. Knowledge and rules about safe driving. D. The traffic department of the government.54. Which of the following is NOT a potential(有可能的) benefit of driverless cars?A. The elderly can travel around freely by themselves.B. “Drivers” can sleep in the car on their way to work.C. People can have a thrilling car race in the street.D.
