34、ackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage OneNew Yorks WCBS puts it in a way that just cant be better expressed: “It was an accident waiting to happen.“15-year-old Alexa Longueira was wandering along the street in Staten Island, obliviously tapping text messages into her phone as she walke
35、d. Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path, and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive “really gross, shocking and scary.“Its not all Longueiras fault. The manhole shouldnt
36、have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been set up near the work site. A worker with New Yorks Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the inci
37、dent.Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is certainly at fault for failing to secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would
38、 her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?Detachment from ones environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem-and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and
39、text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involving distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New
40、York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.Following a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?What interested me, at least, is the end of the stow above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewa
41、ge. But since other things are not reported as lost, Im guessing she appears to have managed to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.51. By “It was an accident waiting to happen“ , New Yorks WCBS meant that _.A. the accident should have been avoidableB. this kind of accidents happen freque
42、ntlyC. somebody was glad to see what would happenD. an open manhole is sure a trap for careless pedestrians52. When the girl fell into the open manhole, she _.A. was seriously hurt B. was frightenedC. took a bath in the raw sewage D. cried help to the DEP worker53. According to the author, who was t
43、o blame for the accident?A. The girl herself. B. The DEP worker.C. Both of them. D. Nobody.54. According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?A. Talking on a cell phone while driving.B. Text messaging while walking across a street.C. Operating music players while driving.D.
44、Operating game players while walking across a street.55. The phrase “in the wake of“(Para.5) is closest in meaning to “_“.A. in view of B. on condition ofC. as far as D. with regard to56. The author found it funny that the girl had _.A. lost a shoe in the sewage in the accidentB. reported nothing lo
45、st after the accidentC. got a firm hold of her phone during the accidentD. managed to keep herself upright in the manholePassage TwoAccording to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain t
46、he obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit.Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the comput
47、er. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased.Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who ha
48、d summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group.Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work causes much bigger fluctuations in glucose(葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking.The researchers figure the body reacts
49、 to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brains fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body.Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such “brain food“ is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consu
