The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.

Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well­being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.

Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in­vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.

These include custom­made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.

“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”

Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.

“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.

“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”

1．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?

A．To explore new means of transport.

B．To design new types of cars.

C．To find out older drivers' problems.

D．To teach people traffic rules.

2．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?

A．It keeps them independent.

B．It helps them save time.

C．It builds up their strength.

D．It cures their mental illnesses.

3．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?

A．Improve their driving skills.

B．Develop driver­assist technologies.

C．Provide tips on repairing their cars.

D．Organize regular physical checkups.

4．What is the best title for the text?

A．A new model electric car

B．A solution to traffic problems

C．Driving services for elders

D．Keeping older drivers on the road

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了老年人开车会面临的问题及相应的解决方法。

1. C　细节理解题。题干关键词为DriveLAB。题干中的purpose对应原文的in order to。根据首段的“…in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.”可知，该实验室是为了发现老年司机的一些问题，故选C。

2. A　细节理解题。题干关键词为driving important和for older people，由此可以锁定第四段末句，由该部分的“…driving is important for preserving their independence…without having to rely on others.”可知选A。

3. B　细节理解题。由第三段可知研究者正在研发“in­vehicle technologies for older drivers”以帮助老年人继续开车，即研发驾驶辅助系统。

4. D　主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了一些帮助老年人继续开车的解决方案，以确保老年人能克服一些身体上的不便，以便能继续开车。故选D。

【名师点睛】主旨大意题可分为篇章主旨和段落主旨。开门见山提出主题是大多数文章的写作方法，新闻报道、调查报告、科普性文章大都采用演绎法，本文就属于科技报告类，在文章开头提出了中心，然后详细介绍这种技术，由此可以判断文章的中心话题。

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7­ to 12­year­olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.

How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: Most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school­age children, ten hours is ideal. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10­ to 12­year­olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.

“More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone，” says Dr Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.

Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.

5．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?

A. American kids' sleeping habits.    

B. Teenagers' sleep­related diseases.

C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness.  

D. Learning problems and lack of sleep.

6．How many hours of sleep do 11­year­olds need every day?

A. 7 hours.      B. 8 hours.   C. 10 hours.      D. 18 hours.

7．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?

A. They are affected by certain body chemicals.

B. They tend to do things that excite them.

C. They follow their parents' examples.

D. They don't need to go to school early.

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了当今美国青少年晚睡的坏习惯，以及产生的原因和应对措施等。

5.A推理判断题。根据文章第一段首句"Getting 1ess sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids."，同时结合下文“According to a new survey (调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10to 18…60% of 7- to 12-year-olds…and 15% said…”可知，该调查主要关注的是青少年的睡眠习惯,所以选A项。

6. C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For most school­age children, ten hours is ideal (理想的)．”可知，11岁左右的青少年最佳的睡眠时间是10小时，故答案选C项。

7. B　推理判断题。根据第三段“…with more homework…She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.”可以推断，由于青少年晚上的活动都过于使人兴奋，所以青少年们很难马上静下心来睡觉，从而导致晚睡，故答案选B项。
