，即交通中，司机的素质是最重要的。

44. The word \A. more serious B. more tempting C. disturbing D. Noticeable

解析：结合第一小题，我们应该相当容易完成此题目。It is all very well to blame traffic jam, the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modem life， but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. But是一个关键词，traffic jam, the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modem life这些都不重要，而是but后面的才日益重要。与之匹配的是A选项。答案是A。

45. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors. B. A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road. C. Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam. D. Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.

解析：一目一行浏览第二段尤其是最前面和最后一句话，还可以结合我们宝贵的常识储备。Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.说明现在的司机最不注意的就是礼貌行车。与之匹配的选项是D。答案是D。

46. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that . A. young drivers are more aggressive

B. young drivers would soon lose their good manners C. elder drivers are more cautious

D. elder drivers should improve their driving skills

解析：浏览选项我们发现选项都是说young drivers和elder drivers。此类题目一般而言是没有明明白白清清楚楚的答案的，只能从字里行间弄出暗含的信息了。第一句话：Contrary to general opinion, young drivers have better manners than their seniors.（与一般观点相反，年轻的司机比年老的司机更有礼貌），所以我们可以排除A选项，后面的一句话But this is short-lived in the world....我们可以知道，前面的好礼貌的时间比较短。与之匹配的选项是B。 47. An example of good manners on the roads is .

A. signaling cars to overtake B. manufacturing a gap C. selecting a lower gear D. using the direction indicator

解析：我们一目一行定位答案范围：第四段第一句。Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake，（他们几乎已经放弃了这种习惯），从这句话我们反向思维，说明signaling cars to overtake是good manners on the roads。答案是A。

48. According to the author， a good driver should . A. be technically skilled B. have a good state of mind C. be sympathetic with others D. take good care of his vehicle

解析：前面题目都提及到司机的道路礼貌（good manners on the roads），所以毫不犹豫排除A与D选项。C选项（be sympathetic with others互相同情）与B选项（ have a good state of mind 有一个好心情），这两个选项比较起来，应该是B选项与中心good manners on the roads更合适。答案是B。 Passage Four

On how the world has changed over the last 50 years，not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the companies producing the world's food supplies.

The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food. You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didn't know before. The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificial fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂)to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies. Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years. Today's fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at one time. However, with organic food information you learn that organic food has fifty percent more nutrients, minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grown under intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for this deficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since you will be eating more chemicals that are worse for your health than they are good for you.

Another aspect of organic food information is the production of meat and poultry (家禽). Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all these antibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed， the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside in the meat which are then consumed， digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn't kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.

You have nothing to lose by trying organic product，not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you will never return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some，you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocks organic produce for a reasonable price.

Drinking wastewater? The idea may sound distasteful，but new federally funded research says more Americans are doing so-whether they know or not-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.

Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and, in some cases, may be even safer to drink，according to a report released by the National Research Council. “We believe water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity, especially in coastal areas，” says Jorg Drewes, an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. \can be done reliably
