Each year,road accidents kill a million people and injure millions more.The economic costs are greatest for developing countries.Earlier this year,the United Nations called for a campaign to improve road safety.
One way to avoid accidents is better driving.Another is better roads and bridges.Engineers in the United States have designed ten new concrete mixtures that they think could make bridges last longer.
Professor Paul Tikalsky leads the experiments by a team at Pennsylvania State University.He says bridges made of concrete now last about twenty-five to thirty-five years.But he says the new mixtures might extend that to seventy-five or even one-hundred years.
Concrete is made of stone,sand,water and cement (水泥).The materials in the cement hold the concrete together.Ancient Romans built with concrete.Yet strengthened concrete bridges did not appear until the late 1800s.People keep looking for new ways to improve concrete.Professor Tikalsky says it is one of the most complex of all chemical systems.
The new mixtures designed by his team contain industrial waste products.He says these make the concrete better able to resist damage from water and salt over time.One of the products is fly ash.This is released into the air as pollution when coal is burned.
Professor Tikalsky says particles (颗粒) of fly ash are almost exactly the same size and chemical structure as Portland cement.This is the most costly material in concrete.So using fly ash to replace some of it would save money.
Over the next two years,engineers will study ten bridges in Pennsylvania.These were built from the different cement mixtures designed by Professor Tikalsky’s team.He says longer-lasting bridges could save the state more than 35 million dollars a year.And he says the materials would be environmentally friendly.
The federal government is paying for part of the research.Engineers anywhere can use the technology.Professor Tikalsky says some of the ideas have already been put to use in China,the Philippines and other countries.
41.Why did the United Nations launch the campaign?
A.Because the United Nations wanted to reduce road accidents and economic costs.
B.Because two million people were killed in the accidents.
C.Because engineers wanted to design ten new concrete mixtures.
D.Because the United Nations made bridges of the new mixtures which could last for about 20 to 35 years.
42.What does the underlined word “This” in the sixth paragraph refer to?
A.Fly ash.
B.Portland cement.
C.Sand.
D.Chemical.
43.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Ten new concrete bridges have already been built in the United States.
B.A new concrete bridge could last 50 more years than an ordinary concrete one.
C.People didn’t know how to build with cement until the late 1800s.
D.Water and salt won’t do any damage to bridges over time.
44.What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Engineers have to pay a lot of money to use the new bridge technology.
B.Pennsylvania State University is paying all the money for the research.
C.Bridges built with fly ash are cheaper than common bridges.
D.Fly ash is much more expensive than Portland cement.
45.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.The causes of road accidents.
B.The advantages of fly ash.
C.The measures of avoiding road accidents.
D.Latest information about long-life concrete bridges.

Ⅰ.单项填空
1.C the fact后面的that引导的是同位语从句,that引导同位语从句时,不作成分,但不能省略。
2.C can’t help后跟v.-ing,表示“禁不住……”,persuade与主语之间是逻辑动宾关系,所以用被动形式。
3.D 由they’re twins可知他们两个长得很像,resemble像……,类似于;imitate模仿。
4.A it在句中作形式宾语,代表连接副词引导的从句。当enjoy/like/love/appreciate/hate/dislike等表示情绪的动词后接when或if从句时,通常要用it作形式宾语。
5.A 此题考查形容词短语作伴随状语。
6.C 句意为:“尽管这种药能治愈你的病,但是有副作用”。

15.C by contrast与此相反,相比之下,在句中作插入语。contrast with与……相比,with后应加宾语。
