6.70多年前，英国的“机动车条例”规定，城镇内自行车速度限制为2英里/小时。到了1903年，由于工业的发展，有必要把速度放宽到20英里/小时。此后五年中，汽车司机们可以随心所欲地以任何速度行驶。现在超速行驶是最常见的违章。围绕这超速违章法令的争论在于它的安全估价，交通部门坚持认为时速限制能减少事故。但是，在美国至少有人建议现在的时速限制应该完全取消。Ⅵ.WritingTitle:ToSolvetheProblemofTrafficSafetyTimelimit:30minutesWordlimit:120～150wordsⅠ.SupplementaryReadingⅡ.QuestionsSupplementaryReadingSupplementaryReading[1]Withitscommoninterestinlawbreakingbutitsimmenserangeofsubject-matterandwidely-varyingmethodoftreatment,thecrimenovelcouldmakealegitimateclaimtoberegardedasaseparatebranchofliterature,or,atleast,asadistinct,eventhoughaslightlydisreputable,offshootofthetraditionalnovel.SupplementaryReading[2]Thedetectivestoryisprobablythemostrespectable(atanyrateinthenarrowsenseoftheword)ofthecrimespecies.Itscreationisoftentherelaxationofuniversitydons,literaryeconomists,scientistsorevenpoets.Fatalitiesmayoccurmorefrequentlyandmysteriouslythanmightbeexpectedinpolitesociety,buttheworldinwhichtheyhappen,thevillage,seasideresort,collegeorstudio,isfamiliartous,ifnotfromourownexperience,atleastinthenewspaperorthelivesoffriends.SupplementaryReadingThecharacters,thoughnormallyrealizedsuperficially,areasrecognizablyhumanandconsistentasourlessintimateassociates.Astorysetinamoreremoteenvironment,AfricanjungleorAustralianbush,ancientChinaorgaslitLondon,appealstoourinterestingeographyorhistory,andmostdetectivestorywritersareconscientiousinprovidingareasonablyauthenticbackground.SupplementaryReadingTheelaborate,carefully-assembledplot,despisedbythemodernintellectualcriticsandcreatorsofsignificantnovels,hasfoundrefugeinthemurdermystery,withitssprinklingofclues,itsspicingwithapparentimpossibilities,allwithappropriatesolutionsandexplanationsattheend.WiththeguiltofescapismfromRealLifenagginggently,wesecretlyrevelintheunmaskingofevilbyavaguelysuperhumansleuth,whoseesthroughanddispelsthecloudofsuspicionwhichhashoveredsounjustlyovertheinnocent.SupplementaryReading[3]Thoughitsvillainalsoreceiveshisrightfuldeserts,thethrillerpresentsalesscomfortableandcredibleworld.Thesequenceoffistfights,revolverduels,carcrashesandescapesfromgas-filledcellarsexhauststhereaderfarmorethanthehero,who,sufferingfromatleasttwobrokenribs,oneblackeye,uncountablebruisesandahangover,canstillchaseandoverpoweranarmedvillainwiththephysiqueofawrestler.SupplementaryReadingHemovesdangerouslythroughaworldofruthlessgangs,brutality,aviciouslustforpowerandmoneyand,incontrasttothedetectivetale,withanear-omniscientarchcriminalwhosedefeatseemsalmostaccidental.Perhapswemissinthethrillerthesecurityofbeingsafelyledbyourimperturbableinvestigatorpastascoreofredherringsandblindavenuestoafinalgatheringofsuspectswhenanunchallengeableelucidationofallthathasbewilderedusisgivenandjusticeandgoodnessprevail.Allthatwevainlyhopeforfromlifeisgrantedvicariously.QuestionsThecrimenovelmayberegardedas______.A.anotquiterespectableformoftheconventionalnovelB.notatruenovelatallC.relatedinsomewaystothehistoricalnovelD.anindependentdevelopmentofthenovelCompletethefollowingstatementsbychoosingthebestalternative(A,B,CorD)undereach.QuestionsThedetectivenovelmaybeconsideredrespectableinthesensethat______.A.peopleneednotfeelashamedofreadingoneB.thereareoftensomewell-drawncharactersinitC.itdealswithconventionalpeopleandscenesD.itiswrittenbypeopleofcultureandintelligenceCompletethefollowingstatementsbychoosingthebestalternative(A,B,CorD)undereach.QuestionsThepassagesuggeststhatintellectualswritedetectivestoriesbecause______.A.thestoriesareofteninfactveryinstructiveB.theyenjoywritingthesestoriesC.thecreationofthesestoriesdemandsconsiderableintelligenceD.detectivestoriesareanacceptedbranchofliteratureCompletethefollowingstatementsbychoosingthebestalternative(A,B,CorD)undereach.QuestionsWhichofthefollowingistheonlyunlikelyaspectsoftheaveragedetectivenovel?A.Itscharacters.
