19、 phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a bloodalcohol level of 0.08, which is the legal limit in most states of America.Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attentionlevels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations.

20、 In dense traffic, cell phoneusers were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers,and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them.Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information thatnon-cell dr

21、iversaregetting,says Strayer.Looking and seeing are not one and the same. By contrast, the researchers found thatlistening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous.

24、.that makes.。细节判断题。文章在第一段第三句和第四句提到了使得开车打电话危险的不是拨电话或是挥动手臂这些动 作， 而是和某个不在跟前的人聊个不停， 即 continuous conversation 。因此答案应该是 C。（2）.Which ofthe following does Strayer want to stress most?（分数：2.00 ）A.

26、od alcohol level of0.08.”。逻辑推断题。 作者在第一段最后一句提到， 打电话会使驾驶技能减弱， 其危险度相当于血液中含有 0.08 的 酒精度， 甚至有过之而无不及。 根据这里的 or worse than ，可以推断出来， Strayer 想要强调的是答案 D。（3）_.The experimentshows all the following EXCEPT that _.（分数：2.00 ）A. the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual informationB. the cell phone d

27、rivers are twice as likely to hit the front carsC. the cell phone drivers response to sudden dangers is slowerD. the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experimentsV解析： 解析 第二段第二、三句“ In dense.says Strayer. ”。 细节判断题。从文中第二段第二、三句可知，开车打电话的司机对紧急情况的反应速度要慢20%，撞上前方车辆的几率要大两倍，获取的视觉信息要少50%。故选项 A、B、C

28、均正确，用排除法，选择D。（4）.Strayerdiscourages drivers from talking about business on cellphones while driving because_ . （分数： 2.00 ）A. they tend to forget the details of a conversationVB. both the driver and his agent happen to be drivingC. it might not be good for the drivers memoryD. the other passengers wo

29、uld overhear the conversation解析： 解析 最后一段第一句“ Whether.driving.”。细节判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句可知，司机很容易遗忘在驾驶时的谈话内容，即文中less able torecall the details.，因此 Strayer 提醒人们在开车时讨论投资策略不明确。（5）_ .Itcan be inferred that the authors attitude toward cell phone yakking is _ .（分数：2.00 ）A. approvingB. disapprovingVC. encouragingD.

30、 indifferent解析： 解析 作者意图把握题。本文的第一段提到开车打电话比酒后驾车更危险。第二段通过具体的实验 验证开车打电话的危险性。最后说开车打电话的内容容易被忘掉，因而建议不要在电话里讨论投资策略。综合全文，可以推断出作者对开车打电话持反对态度。五、 Passage Two （ 总题数： 1，分数： 10.00）Its no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-dayinvolvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention
