The purpose of this research mentioned in the passage is _.A. to encourage people to swear when they feel pain.B. to explain the benefits of swearing.C. to indicate the relation between swearing and pain tolerance.D. to prove that people repeating a swear word are stronger than non-swear speakers.57. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE?A. The more frequently you swear, the better your ability to stand pain will be.B. The heart rate of the participants will be increasing while they are swearing in the experiment.C. If you repeat a swear word in moderation, you will relieve much of the pain for a long time.D. Swearing plays a very important role in relieving the pain and comforting yourself.58. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The effect, to some extend, that swearing has on relieving the pain is limited.B. The non-swear speakers must feel more pain than the speakers who swear.C. If you swear all the time, you wont get the same effect.D. The participants of this research must put their hand into cold water for a long time.59. Whats the best title of this passage?A. More swearing, less Pain.B. Swearing: the best way to relieve pain.C. Lets swear together.D. Swearing can be good for you.BMIT researchers have developed an algorithm (计算程序) that can detect drivers whore likely to drive straight across a red light - before they do so.The monitor watches deceleration (=slow down) and distance from a light - and guesses which cars are likely to break the Highway Code.Most importantly, the software can provide two seconds warning if someone else is about to shoot across a crossroads - enough time for other drivers to hit the brakes.Jonathan How, the Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, says smart cars of the future may use the system to help drivers foresee and avoid potential accidents.The researchers tested the algorithm on data collected from an intersection (十字路口) in Virginia, finding that it accurately identified potential violators within a couple of seconds of reaching a red light enough time, according to the researchers, for other drivers at an intersection to be able to react to the threat if alerted (发出警报).Compared to other efforts to model driving behavior, the MIT algorithm brought fewer false alarms, an important advantage for systems providing guidance to human drivers.The researchers report their findings in a paper that will appear in the journal IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems.60. Whats the meaning of the underlined word in the first paragraph?A. warnB. tellC. noticeD. direct61. Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of this algorithm?A. It will raise the alarm when the driver breaks the traffic rules.B. It usually produces fewer false alarms.C. It helps drivers avoid potential accidents by judging the threats.D. The monitor of this algorithm can judge the traffic condition from the lights of other vehicles.62. According to Jonathan How, we know that his attitude towards the future of this algorithm is _.A. worriedB. pessimisticC. optimisticD. puzzled63. We can learn from the passage that the algorithm _.A. has been in use on a large scale.B. can send out a warning a few minutes earlier.C. must be connected with a powerful computer.D. is still in a theoretical stage.CLet Baby CryThe parents with their three-year-old son went to see a film.When they walked into the cinema, the attendant said to them, “youll have to go out if your son cries. But well refund you the tickets.”About half an hour later, the husband asked his wife, “What do you think of the film?”“Ive never seen such a boring film.” His wife answered. “Its not worth seeing.”“I dont think much of it, either.” The husband said. “Wake the child up and let him cry.”Blindfold ThemStan: I won 92 goldfish.Fred: Where a
