The latest generation of Honda's solar cars, the Dream, broke the record in this year's World Solar Challenge (WSC). Starting in Darwin on Sunday, 26th October, the two-man, four-wheel vehicle completed the 3010-kin-course to Adelaide in just 33 hours and 32 minutes, taking two and a half hours off the remarkable time set three years ago by the previous Honda Dream team in a lighter, one-man, three-wheel vehicle.
The latest Dream managed an average speed of 89.76 km/h, compared to 84.96 km/h for the previous one, despite stormy winds and uphill slope slowing all the competitors during the event's second day. However, during the final day's run from the South Australian desert mining town of Coober Pedy to Adelaide, the Dream cruised(以发动机效率最高的速度行驶) at 100 km/h, occasionally accelerating to 110 km/h. "We are very tired and very happy," the Dream team's project leader, Masashi Kitagawa, told the crowd of reporters waiting at the finish line at Adelaid's Technology Park.
The School of Biel team placed second, an hour and 28 minutes behind the Dream, having averaged 86 km/h. The Swiss engineering school is Honda's perennial rival(竞争对手) in this event, having beaten Honda in 1990 to set a course record of 38.50 hours. However, they placed a distant second to the Honda Dream in the 1993 event. A full report, along with pictures, will appear in the next issue of Honda: The Magazine.
The phrase "the latest generation of Honda's solar ears, the Dream" implies that ______.
A.Honda is a car maker
B.the Dream is a model of solar car produced by Honda
C.Honda's solar technologies are being improved over time
D.all of the above

Passage Four:Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移…注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
第66题:Interpersonal relationships are important because ________.
A) they are indispensable to people’s social well-being
B) they awaken people’s desire to exchange resources
C) they help people to cope with life in the information era
D) they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc

Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber. All living creatures, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about it is: a bizarre animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets.
For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tubefeet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats.
Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present.
Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sand-color and white. One form. even has vivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumber-shaped hence their name and because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.
Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become motionless and live at a low metabolic rate — feeding sparingly or not at all for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.
But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs. When attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into the water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate itself when it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted.
The passage mainly discusses
A.the reason for the sea cucumber's name.
B.what makes the sea cucumber unusual.
C.how to identify the sea cucumber.
D.places where the sea cucumber can be.

听力原文: This is John Roberts reporting from Cardiff. Tile result of the match which finished at four this afternoon between France and Wales was a draw. Neither side scored. The Dutch referee did not allow the one goal which France managed to kick. The reason for this was that a French player was unfortunately off side. So both teams went home disappointed. This means that neither the French nor the Welsh team will reach first place in this international competition.
However, I can say that the spectators were delighted with the game. They particularly admired the French forwards, who were already fast and often threatened the Welsh defence. Once it looked as though the Welsh goalkeeper was in serious trouble. He dived to his right to save a shot from the French center forward and crashed his head against the goal post. A doctor examined him but he soon began to play again. Of course the large, friendly crowd applauded him.
This report is about a game of ______.
A.baseball
B.football
C.basketball
D.tennis

The controversial Anglo-French supersonic transport plane, the Concorde, had attracted much attention because it is unusually loud. A late-model jumbo 747, for example, creates 100 or more decibels of sound over an eight-square-kilometer area. The Concorde spreads a 100-decibel-plus blanket of noise over some 140 square kilometers. On takeoff, the Concorde sounds like four F-4 fighter jets taking off at once. Its penetrating, low-frequency rumble makes the Concorde "completely distinctive" from other jets.
What bothers noise experts is that plenty of commonplace machines are just as loud as, or even louder than, the Concorde. A sanitation truck can be noisier, and so can a heavy diesel truck pulling away from a stop sign. One expert who has gone out of his way to dramatize the prevalent offensiveness of the city sound-scale is Dr. Thomas H. Fay, director of speech and hearing at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. Dr. Fay took a sound-meter into a New York City subway and proved that an approaching train can be twice as loud as the Concorde.
Since World War Ⅱ, the number of the high-powered noise-makers, from trucks and motorcycles to air conditioners and sirens has increased almost geometrically. It' s no wonder that in many areas of the country, especially in the suburbs, the average sound level has doubled in 20 years. Noise experts estimate that city noises are increasing a half-decibel a year. They found that in 1971 the quietest parts of Los Angeles--thought to be a relatively quiet city--were louder than the loudest districts of New York in 1937.
This passage mainly talks about ______ .
A.the problem of the supersonic transport plane, the Concorde
B.a comparison between the Concorde and other machines
C.the problem of noise
D.noise in the suburbs

Many years ago when the summers seemed longer and life was less complicated, we had rented a cottage 31 a river in the heart of the country 32 the whole family was going to 33 a three-week holiday. There were four of us: me, Mum and Dad, and Mum‟s sister, Auntie June. Oh, and I mustn‟ t forget to 34 Spot, our little dog. I was 35 to go off by myself all day, 36 I promised to be careful and took Spot with me for 37.
One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the 38 followed by a scream and splash. I was a bit 39 so I called Spot and we both hid 40 a bush where we could see but not be 41 . After a few moments, a straw hat came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a picnic basket and 42 oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but it was 43 upside down ! A few seconds later my Dad and Auntie June came running 44 the river bank, both wet 45 . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My Dad got really angry 46 me for not trying to catch the boat as it went past. Luckily, 47 , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them 48 my sandwiches. Dad and Auntie June both made me 49 not to tell Mum what had happened 50 she would be worried.
