19．Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind．
Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．
Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted．And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting．
Despite back-to-back hearings this  week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed．
Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems．
Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference（油门踏板故障）or sticky gas pedals（刹车）．Outside experts have suggested electronic problems．
House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company's founder．
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model．
Toyota has recalled 8.5million cars，more than 6million of them in the United States．
It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars．
Toyota's January sales already fell 16percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30percent to 40．Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that．
It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．

66．The best title for this passage isA．
A．Toyota is in trouble    B．Toyota is under hearing

B．America wants to get Toyota out of the US market．
C．America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty．

10．We're looking for personality
HAVE you ever made a profit from walking a dog？Do you like working alone or in groups？Have you ever set a world record in anything？Answer those the right way and you could land a job at Google．
In its desperate search for more engineers and sales representatives for its rapidly growing business，Google has created an automated way to look through the more than 100，000 job applications it receives each month．
Instead of simply looking for people with straight-As，it's starting to ask applicants to fill out an in-depth online survey that examines their attitude，behavior and personality．
Questions concern everything from the age the applicant first got excited about computers to whether the person has ever tutored．They also seek out non-traditional information．This can include what magazines the applicant subscribes to or what pets that person has．
The answers are fed into a series of formulas created by Google's mathematicians that spit out a score from zero to 100．This is meant to predict how well a person will fit into the freewheeling，competitive company culture．
"Google has doubled its number of employees in each of the last three years．As we get bigger，we find it harder and harder to find enough people，'said Laszlo Bock，Google's vice-president for people operations．"Interviews are a terrible predictor of performance．With traditional hiring methods，we might overlook some of the best candidates，"he said．．
The online survey is based on the answers to 300questions sent out last summer to every employee at the head office in California's Silicon Valley．Now about 15per cent of applicants take the survey．It will be used for all applicants starting this month．
Whether this method will help Google find the right people is yet to be seen．"We wanted to cast a very wide net，"said Bock．"It is not unusual to walk the halls here at our office in Silicon Valley and bump into dogs．Maybe people who own dogs have some personality trait that is useful．"

60．In terms of finding the right people，the passage is mainly aboutA．
A．Google's attempts           B．Google's success
C．Google's results             D．Google's failure
61．What is not included in the online survey？C
A．attitude     B．behavior    C．grades   D．personality．
62．Why does the author mention dog owners？D
A．Dog owners like to work at Google．
B．Dog owners make the workplace happier．
C．Dog owners are more clever than other people．
D．Dog owners have a non-traditional personality．

7．George Zimmerman's first court appearance before a Florida judge came on Tuesday in connection with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin．The case has caused a national debate in the United States about race，self-defense laws and gun control．
It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman．The judge said he had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally charged on May 29th．
Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night，just before special prosecutor （检举人）Angela Corey announced the charge against him．
Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin．
"It's the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for"Corey said．
Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community where Martin's father lives．He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict．The shooting caused a national cry led by Martin's parents who insisted their son was murdered．They also accused Zimmerman of targeting their son because he was black．

"It was long overdue （迟到的） and I am glad they decided to do something，"another said．
Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force．Prosecutor Corey say：
''I'm prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in court''．
Mark O'Mara，Zimmerman's lawyer，would not make his plan public，but he said his client （委托人） was worried about the trial．
"If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge，Zimmerman could face up to life in prison．"，O'Mara said．

66．Why did the case draw so much attention around U．S．A？C

14．I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling．I wish it were so．At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents．You should be learning to stand on your own two feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents．Instead of striking out boldly （大胆地） on their own，most of them are attempting to seize one another's hands for reassurance．
They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes．They set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it．They have come out of their cocoon （蚕茧）-into a larger cocoon．
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way．Industry has firmly carved out （创造出） a teenage market．These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be．And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．
But the barrier is worth climbing over．The path is worth following．You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records．You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates．Well，go to it．Find yourself．Be yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That's the only kind of popularity that really counts．

11．A weather map is an important tool for geographers．A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes．Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts（冷暖空气团接触的锋）to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front is increasing or decreasing in intensity．They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving．Thus，a most significant function of the map is to reveal a synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time．
All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately．Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area．They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe．The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms，floods，frosts，droughts，and all climatic conditions in general．Twice a month it issues a 30-day"outlook"which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States．These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels which often set the stage for the development of air masses，fronts，and storms．
Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions．With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites，enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations （气象站）．Extensive experiments are also in progress for weather modification（改变）studies．But the limitations of modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding of super-cooled，upslope mountainous winds which have produced additional orographic （山岳形态的） precipitation on the windward side of mountain ranges．Nevertheless，they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements．

72．By reading weather maps，students majoring in geography canC．
A．design a project of weather modification
B．interpret the weather condition before the time of observation
C．obtain data on atmospheric conditions over a wide area
D．survey ever-changing fronts in local meteorological stations
73．A thirty-day forecast is determined by examiningB．
A．daily weather maps
B．upper air levels
C．satellite reports
D．changing fronts
74．The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous becauseD
A．electronic instruments are used
B．it enables man to alter the weather
C．it makes weather prediction more time-consuming
D．information not obtained readily otherwise can be gained
75．At the present time，experiments are being conducted inA．
A．controlling and influencing weather
B．determining density of pressure groups
C.30-day"outlooks"
D．predicting storms．
