阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A trucker relates that he was traveling through rural North Carolina on I-95 when a
brown car combined onto the highway. It came back and forth between lanes, causing the
driver of the truck to change into a lower position. At first he thought the driver was drunk,
but when he came closer, the trucker saw an old man shaking uncontrollably behind the
wheel. He noticed a Citizen's Band aerial(天线)shaking to and fro as the car pulled suddenly
between lanes, so he called on the radio: "You in the brown Chevy, if you can hear me, pull
over. Pull off the road!”
Amazingly, he drdf The trucker pulled up behind the car and climbed from his cab(驾驶
室). The elderly man staggered(蹒珊)from his auto and fell into the trucker's arms. He
poured out a story of months of fear and pain that accompanied the illness of his only
daughter.
Now he was returning from the hospital where it was decided that she would stop any
further treatment. In the hospital he remained "strong", but out on the road he fell apart.
The two men talked for the good part of an hour. The father eventually decided to share
his pain with his daughter and said he felt good enough to drive home. The men embraced and
the trucker followed him for 50 miles. As they drove along, the two talked together on the
radio.
The older man finally acknowledged that his son was ahead and thanked his new friend
again for the help. The trucker asked if he could make it home all right and, suddenly, a third
voice broke in on the conversation: "Breaker 19, don't worry, good buddy. Go your way. I'll
see him home" Glancing in his mirror, he saw another truck move into the exit lane behind
the brown car.
I think there are good people the world over. People who will gladly give that caring
touch, a needed warm embrace or a patient and listening ear. They are like angels who lift us
to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

A credit card that won't work unless its owner's voice is heard may become an important
weapon in the fight against economic fraud(款诈).
The card using a built-in voice-recognition chip requires users to give a spoken password
that it recognizes. The idea is to prevent thieves from using a stolen card to buy goods online.
A model built by engineers in California packs a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery
and a voice-recognition chip into a standard-sized credit card. The card is the length and width
of an ordinary credit card but about three times as thick. The company now plans to make it
thinner.
The voice card is based on an earlier Beep card technology designed to prevent fraud in
online deals. The Beep card has no microphone, but has a built-in loudspeaker to utter an
audible (听得见的) ID signal by a computer's microphone to an online service(服务器). By
confirming that signal matches the information in the card, the server can make sure that the
user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card in his hand. The ID
code, which only the server knows, changes each time the card is used.
This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing
back the audible ID when they key in the details later. But this earlier Beep card technology
cannot prevent illegal use of stolen cards. The new voice card can. The new voice card doesn't
identify itself by its lD until it has confirmed the real user's spoken password. Thieves will be
unable to use the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to
copy the owner's voice with a high degree of accuracy. The challenge for Beep card has been to
develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry(芦音电路).
The voice-recognition credit is powered by a mini battery. To extend batter life, the
electronics have only to be switched on when the card is being used. Pressing a button on the
card's surface allows one to hear a female voice saying, "Say your password. " If the voice-
recognition software proves that the password is real, it sends its ID, which the server then
identifies, allowing the deal to continue.
28. The voice credit has become important because .
A.it makes it easy to shop online
B.it is cheap to make and buy
C. it makes economic fraud more difficult
D.it has the function of leaving voice message
29. What is the difference between the ordinary credit card and model card?
A. The latter has no loudspeaker.
B. The latter is thicker than the former one.
C. The latter can't be used online. .
D. The latter is larger than the former one.
30. We know from the passage that
A. the user of the earlier Beep card doesn't need to key in the credit card number
B. thieves can use the voice card once it is stolen
C. the earlier beep card has a microphone and a built-in loudspeaker in it
D. the lD code number of the voice card is not all the same
31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________ .
A. male customers won't like using the voice card
B. there need further improvements to extend battery life
C. we can use the voice card at will .
D. female voice is the only voice heard

In 11 states across the United States, school buses are now doing more than just sending
students. They also carry advertisements on the outside. Restaurants, companies, banks, and
other businesses pay for the ads, hoping to attract more customers. And it's a way for the
schools to make money.
"We've seen a lot of income produced by the advertisements," said Devra Ash, who is the
spokesperson for School District 11 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She is also the mother of a
third grader. Last year, District 11 made more than $ 15,000 from school-bus ads.
. Besides Colorado, states such as Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas allow ads on the
outside of their school buses. The idea appears to be spreading. In Georgia, some school-
district leaders are suggesting putting ads on their buses ioo.
School districts need to make sure that the ads are proper for kids, according to Michael
Beauchamp, an officer of Alpha Media. This company works with businesses in several states
to create ads for school buses. "The districts won't allow ads for things like beer, cigarettes,
or politics," Beauchamp said.
But not everyone is in favor of school buse.s having ads on the outside. That includes
Georgia's Department of Education. Spokeswoman Dorie Nolt said, "We strongly believe that
advertising on the outside of school buses distracts(侵分心) drivers and children. "
Parents also hold different opinions about this. "If the advertisements can bring in money
for the schools and help save some programs, that is great. " said Glenn Herdling of River
Vale, New Jersey. His son is in second grade.
Cindy Tomarchio of East Windsor, New Jersey, feels differently. "I know the schools
can use the money, but kids already see enough advertising every which way they turn," she
said.
32. Why are advertisements put on the outside of the school buses:l
A. To draw the attention of the public.
B. To make some income for schools.
C. To win the support of other organizations.
D. To make students learn about advertisements.
33.In the opinion of Michael Beauchamp, _
A. all kinds of ads should be allowed to be o~school buses
B. students should be taught what advertisements are proper
C. ads about beer, cigarettes, or politics are improper for kids
D. watching advertisements is bad for the growth of chilciren
34. Who are against the idea of putting ads on the ouiside of school buses?
A. Devra Ash and Michael Beauchamp.
B. Michael Beauchamp and Glenn Herdling.
C. Glenn Herdling and Dorie Nolt.
D. Dorie Nolt and Cindy Tomarchio.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
