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.

America is the land of the automobile. This county has only 6 percent of the world’s population out of 46 percent of the world’s cars. Right now, there are 97 million privately owned cars consuming 75 billion gallons of gasoline and traveling an estimated 1,000 billion miles a year. The figures also affirm something we know every time we refill our gasoline tank. The automobile is a very thirsty piece of technology. Of the total petroleum supply in the United States, 30 percent goes to quench that thirst. Every year for each passenger car, about 800 gallons of gasoline are consumed.
Other aspects of our commitment to the automobile also bear mentioning here. It takes a great deal of energy to manufacture one automobile－about 150 million BTU's of energy. This is equivalent (相等的) to 1,200 gallons of gasoline, enough to run a car for about 1,600 miles. We expend(消耗) energy in the process of shipping cars from factories to showrooms, displaying them for sale and making replacement parts for repairs. One out of six jobs in the nation is

associated with the automobile business. About two gallons of gasoline are consumed in the process of making every ten gallons that are pumped into an automobile's gas tank.
Building highways and parking lots has used up much of our land. It has been estimated that we have paved over 21,000 square miles of this country's surface, and most of it to accommodate the automobile. The automobile is also the largest contributor to our nation's air pollution problem and a very serious one because most of its pollutants(污染物质) are emitted(散发) in our large metropolitan(城区的) areas.
51. To make an automobile, we need . A. 75 billion gallons of gasoline B. 150 million BTU's of energy
C. 1,200 gallons of gasoline
D. 800 gallons of petroleum

C. Little of land in America is occupied by building highways and parking lots. D. The automobile has caused serious air pollution.

Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i. e. to transplant a chip into human brain. This may make everyone's dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up. Experiments have started on animals. In 2003, a transplanted experiment performed in the US turned a bear into a dolphin.
The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted's brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin's brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.
Recently, another comprehensive(复杂的) memory transplanted was performed at the Motor
Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The memory transplanted in the
experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was what the largest such experiment done so far. The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all

the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.
55. The purpose of the experiment is . A. to combine the computer and the human brain B. to make bear swim C. to make some stupid dog turn clever D. to enlarge the applicable capacity of human brain 56. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip with useful information in Tallin's brain. B. The comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research
University. C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area. D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment. 57. What does the underlined word “success” refer to? A. The two dogs woke up.
B. They were both good at memorizing.
C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius. D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of the Idiot.
58. According to the text, we can infer . A. a person can know more after the experiment
B. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with relevant useful information C. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory area D. any animal is more clever than before
C
Why are so many people afraid of failure? Quite because no one tells us failure is an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every people has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hastily made(急速赶制成的) table as “perfect” even though it doesn't stand still. Another way is to shift (转移) blame. If John fails science. His teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure-prevention devices(方法) is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time－and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. A child who's not invited to a birthday party feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations(安慰), prize or say, “It doesn't matter.” The young should be allowed to experience disappointment－and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Ask yourself “Why did I fail?” Don't blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don't be shy about inquiring.
Success is not nearly as good as a teacher as failure. Even a failure that seems definitive can cause fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine got an interview with a professional company. She was turned down. “Would further train help?” she
