Motorways are, no doubt the safest roads in Britain. Mile (21) mile, vehicle for vehicle, you axe much (22) likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road. On (23) hand, if you do have a serious accident on a motorway, fatalities are much more likely to (24) than in a comparable accident (25) on the roads.Motorways have no (26) bends, no roundabouts or traffic lights and (27) speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70 mph limit is (28) in force, it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30 mph limit applying in built up areas in Britain. Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in groups with perhaps (29) ten meters between each vehicle. The resulting horrific pile-ups (30) one vehicle stops for some reason—mechanical failure, driver error and so on—have become all (31) familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How (32) of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred meters to brake to a stop (33) 70 mph Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete protection from the changing weather. (34) wet the road, whatever the visibility in mist or fog, they (35) at ridiculous speeds oblivious of police warnings or speed restrictions (36) their journey comes to a conclusion.Perhaps one remedy (37) this motorway madness would be better driver education. At present, learner drivers are barred (38) motorways and are thus as far as this kind of driving is (39) , thrown in at the deep end. However, much more efficient policing is required, (40) it is the duty of the police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own foolishness. 22()

A. more
B. far
C. less
D. lesser

The domestic economy in the United States expanded in a remarkably vigorous and steady fashion. The revival in consumer confidence was reflected in the higher proportion of incomes spent for goods and services and the marked increase in consumer willingness to take on installment debt. A parallel strengthening in business psychology was manifested in a stepped-up rate of plant and equipment spending and a gradual pickup in expenses for inventory. Confidence in the economy was also reflected in the strength of the stock market and in the stability of the bond market. For the years as a whole, consumer and business sentiment benefited from the ease in East-West tensions. The bases of the business expansion were to be found mainly in the stimulative monetary and fiscal policies that had been pursued. Moreover, the restoration of sounder liquidity positions and tighter management control of production efficiency had also helped lay the groundwork for a strong expansion. In addition, the economic policy moves made by the President had served to renew optimism on the business outlook while boosting hopes that inflation would be brought under more effective control. Final]y, of course, the economy was able to grow as vigorously as it did because sufficient leeway existed in terms of idle men and machines. The United States balance of payments deficit declined sharply. Nevertheless, by any other test, the deficit remained very large, and there was actually a substantial deterioration in our trade account to a sizable deficit, almost two-thirds of which was with Japan. While the overall trade performance proved disappointing, there are still good reasons for expecting the delayed impact of devaluation to produce in time a significant strengthening in our trade picture. Given the size of the Japanese component of our trade deficit, however, the outcome will depend importantly on the extent of the corrective measures undertaken by Japan. Also important will be our own efforts in the United States to fashion internal policies consistent with an improvement in our external balance. The underlying task of public policy for the year ahead--and indeed for the longer run--remained a familiar one: to strike the right balance between encouraging healthy economic growth and avoiding inflationary pressures. With the economy showing sustained and vigorous growth, and with the currency crisis highlighting the need to improve our competitive posture internationally, the emphasis seemed to be shifting to the problem of inflation. The Phase Three Program of wage and price restraint can contribute to reducing inflation. Unless productivity growth is unexpectedly large; however, the expansion of real output must eventually begin to slow down to the economy’s larger run growth potential if generalized demand pressures on prices are to be avoided. Paragraph 2 mainly deals with ______.

A. economic policy measures suggested by the President
B. the causes of business development for the period
C. the stimulative monetary and fiscal polices
D. the revival of stronger liquidity positions

阅读下面短文,回答下列五道题桥是种固定建筑物,一经造成,便屹立大地,可以千载不移,把它当作地面标志,应当是再准确不过的。《史记·苏秦列传》里有段故事:“尾生(人名)与女子期于梁下,女子不来,水至不去,抱柱而死。”他们所以约定在桥下相会,就因为桥是不会动的,但是,这里所谓不动,是指大动而言,至于小动、微动,它却和万物一样,是持续不断、分秒不停的。车在桥上过,它的重量就使桥身变形,从平直的桥身变为弯曲的桥身,就同人坐在板凳上,把板凳坐弯一样。板凳的腿,因为板的压迫,也要变形,如果这腿是有弹簧的,就可看出,这腿是被压短了。桥身的两头是桥墩,桥上不断行车,桥墩就像凳腿一样,也要被压短而变形。把板凳放到泥土上,坐上人,板凳腿就把人的重量传到泥土中,使泥土发生变形。桥墩也同样使下面的基础变形。桥身的变形表示桥上的重量传递给桥墩了,桥墩的变形表示桥身上的重量传递给基础了,基础的变形表示桥墩上的重量传递给桥下的土地了,桥上的重量终为地下的抵抗所平衡。物体所以能变形,是由于内部分子的位置有变动,也就是由于分子的运动。车在桥上高速行驶时,使桥梁整体发生震动。此外,桥还受气候变化的侵袭。在狂风暴雨中,桥是要摆动或扭动的;就是在冷暖不均,温度有升降时,桥也要伸缩,形成蠕动。桥墩在水中,经常受水流的压迫和风浪的打击,就有摇动、转动和滑动的倾向而在地基中发生移动。此外,遇到地震,桥还会受到水下方向和由下而上的推动。所有以上种种的动而引起的桥的变形,加上桥上重量和桥本身重量所引起的变形,构成全桥各部的总变形。任何一点的变形,都是那里的分子运动的综合表现。桥是固定建筑物,所谓固定就是不在空间有走动,不像车船行走。但是,天地间没有完全固定的东西,桥的平衡只能是瞬间现象,它仍是桥的运动的一种特殊状态。桥的运动是桥的存在形式。 根据第三段提供的信息,以下说法正确的一项是()。

A. 受气候变化的侵袭,桥在狂风暴雨中会摆动、扭曲
B. 温度有升降时,桥有时也要伸缩,形成蠕动
C. 受到水流的压迫和风浪的打击,桥就会摇动、转动和滑动
D. 地震时,桥会受到水平方向和由下而上的推动
