Since the auto is the main source of
travel in America and distances between major cities are far, a common way of
getting around the country is by hitchhiking. Although it is not illegal, law
enforcers(执行者) and ’most people in authority, especially school administrators,
try to discourage people, especially the young, from traveling this way. Most
people, however, are aware of the dangers which one can encounter by hitchhiking
but the money saved by doing so is often just a compensation for the risk
involved.
The hitchhiker usually stands at the entrance
ramps(坡道) of highways or along the road itself with fingers clenched and the
thumb of the right hand extended and pointing to the direction of the traffic.
This is called "thumbing a ride", an expression coined(创造)in the late 1930s,
which is also another name for hitchh
A. Talk with the driver all along the road.

Passage Two
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letter, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

[单项选择] Passage Two
The two claws of the mature American
lobster are decidedly different from each other. The crusher claw is short and
stout; the cutter claw is long and slender. Such bilateral asymmetry, in which
the right side of the body is, in all other respects, a mirror image of the left
side, is not unlike handedness in humans. But where the majority of humans are
right-handed, in lobsters the crusher claw appears with equal probability on
either the right side or left side of the body.
Bilateral
asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually. In the juvenile fourth and fifth
stages of development, the paired claws are symmetrical and cutterlike.
Asymmetry begins to appear in the juvenile sixth stage of development, and the
paired claws further diverge toward well-defined cutter and crusher claws during
succeeding stages. An intriguing aspect
A. drawing an analogy between asymmetry in lobsters and handed in humans.
B. developing a method for predicating whether crusher claws in lobster will appear on the left or right side
C. explaining differences between lobsters’ crusher claws and cutter claws
D. discussing a possible explanation for the way bilateral asymmetry is determined in lobsters

If two scientists at Los Alamos
National Laboratory are correct, People will still be driving gasoline-powered
cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere--and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.
The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a
concept, which they have patriotically named Green Freedom for removing carbon
dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.
The idea
is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution which would absorb the
carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be extracted and subjected to
chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel. Although they have not yet
built a fuel factory, or even a small prototype, the scientists say it is all
based on existing technology. "Everything in the co
A. introduce a new concept
B. compare different energy sources
C. stress the importance of gasoline
D. discuss solutions to global warming
