Speed up or slow down? That was the question Wang Xueliang thought about as he approached the traffic lights. The 45-year-old driver hesitated for a few seconds before stepping on the brakes and stopping his car at a crossing on Beijing's Chang'an Avenue, even though the traffic light was still green. The light turned yellow a second later. For many drivers, passing through traffic crossings has become a guessing game since New Year's Day.

From Jan 1, new traffic laws mean all drivers in China that run a yellow light will have six points deducted (扣除) from the 12 given to their license. Drivers who run yellow lights will receive the same six-point punishment as those who run red lights. Those who forfeit 12 points over a calendar year will have to attend training courses and take exams organized by the local traffic management bureau. The rule was named "China's harshest traffic rule" by many online observers. The new rule also gives strict punishments for speeding, covering up the license plate, making phone calls while driving, and drunken driving. The punishment for covering up a license plate is 12 points.

"On the day the new rules came into force, drivers followed the rules and commonly seen violations, such as ignoring traffic lights , were seen less frequently," according to a report by Xinhua News Agency. The report said the number of accidents decreased sharply on Tuesday in five major cities — Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Jinan — from the previous day. Moreover, no severe accidents were reported.

Although the ministry said on Wednesday that some major cities reported a sharp decrease in urban traffic violations, the new law remains controversial ( 引起爭議的)because drivers find it difficult to predict yellow lights and stop their cars in good time.

64. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

A. Drivers find it hard to decide whether to speed up or slow down while driving.

B. Drivers find it hard to predict when the light turns yellow.

C. Drivers should stop their cars before the light turns red.

D. Drivers should make a guess about the light when passing through a crossing.

65. The underlined word “forfeit” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.

A. increase　　 B. decline　　　 C. lose　　　 D. multiply

66. The following statements are false EXCEPT　　　 ．

A. You will be given a warning if you run yellow lights.

B. You will lose six points if you cover up the license plate.

C.A driver making phone calls while driving will have to attend training courses.

D. Since the new rules were carried out, the number of accidents has greatly decreased.

67. What do you think will be talked about after the last paragraph?

A. The effects of the new traffic rules.

B. Different people’s opinions of the new traffic rules.

C. The benefits of the new traffic rules.

D. The disadvantages of the new traffic rules.

Have you ever wished you could solve complex math problems without thinking? What about learning to play the piano in just three days? Or mastering several foreign languages within a month?

Eddie Morra, the main character in the movie Limitless can do all these things. But he isn’t Superman or Harry Potter. Eddie has taken pills called NZT.

Thriller Limitless came out in China on October 13. In the movie, Eddie is faced with “writer’s block”. He hasn’t written a single word of a novel, and his deadline has passed. And there’s more bad news: his girlfriend breaks up with him. By chance, Eddie runs into a relative who is a drug dealer. He gives Eddie some pills called NZT that allow people to make use of 100 percent of their brains. With the magic pills, Eddie’s life changes completely. He can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard. He gains a sixth sense that allows him to predict future events. He even becomes a kungfu master by simply memorizing actions in Bruce Lee’s movie.

Before long he has finished his novel, won back his girlfriend and stepped into the financial world. He becomes rich incredibly quickly and is soon employed by a powerful Wall Street company. However, bad side effects are just around the corner. The effects of the pill last for only one or two days, and Eddie has to find more supplies of the pills. Meanwhile, the pills start to have other effects on him. Eddies’ mind loses the ability to control the actions of his body. What does destiny hold for him? Will he be able to go back to his normal life?

“Eddie’s fate turns out to be a barbed （諷刺的） joke… a sharp-eyed comic fable for an age of greed (貪婪)and speed.” writes A. O. Scott, a movie critic with the New York Times.

The drug isn’t real-----yet, some researchers say such memory-enhancing drugs might not be far off. Would you take such a pill despite its side effects? Is the ability to remember everything a blessing or a curse?

1.Which of the following happened to Eddie after he took the pill?

A．He can easily call everyone in the world.

B．He can expect what will happen next with his sixth sense.

C．He can control a powerful Wall Street company and becomes rich.

D．He can make a special pill to improve his own memory.

2.What’s A. O. Scott’s opinion of the movie?

A. The movie can help slow our pace in life.

B. The movie turned out to be only a joke.

C. The movie can help invent a memory-enhancing drug.

D. The movie aims to show something is wrong with our society.

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Memory-enhancing is sure to do good to us.

B．More people will take pills to enhance their memory.

C．People are soon likely to remember everything.

D．Such a pill to enhance memories may soon be invented.

4.What is writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A．To give us the information of a new movie.

B．To inform us of a new research on a new drug.

C．To suggest a good way to improve memory.

D．To tell us something about a new drug to enhance our memory.
