2024·山东济宁模拟An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving.In the United States,the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older,while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body.A “positive” test result,a result over the legal limit,allows the police to arrest the driver.However,many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “nonalcoholic” energy drink.Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT?Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
First,the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured.All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%.In nine of the 27 drinks,the alcohol level was at least 0.096%.The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be discovered by an ABT.They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.
For 11 of the 27 energy drinks,the ABT did find the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken.However,alcohol could not be discovered for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed.This shows that when the test is taken plays an important role in the test result.The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks,the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.
1.What is the legal alcohol level for a 20yearold driver in the US?

答案: A阅读下列材料,从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。Taking photographs at a birthday or a wedding has become as natural as blowing out candles or cutting the cake. But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them,__according to new research. A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.Dr.Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, described it as the “photo-taking impairment effect”. She said: “People so often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for them—counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves—it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.”
Dr Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum, to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.
A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try and remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.
Henkel's lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it,affects later memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.
Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember the objects, but only if we take the time.
“Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” said Dr Henkel.

(2024·沈阳市二模,A)
The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly,” said Mrs. Brown, a 56yearold woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7yearold cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extraspecial lunch, she called the police. When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white.
“Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer asked. “Well, he's my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS!” said the annoyed
policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a
billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an
empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it.
She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ¥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.
The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.
Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.
文章大意:本文是一篇资讯报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了,她就此请求大家给予帮助。
1.The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A.posters
B.pilots
C.billboards
D.newspapers
答案:A 词义猜测题。警察建议Mrs. Brown “put up flyers”,再根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.”可推知,flyer指的是“an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole”,故答案A海报,符合文义。
