Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense, too. It takes the most level-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to get their revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little courtesy goes a long way towards relieving the tensions and frustrations of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of good will and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.
Contrary to general opinion, young drivers (especially sports-car owners, who take pride in their driving) have better manners than their seniors. But this attitude is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any quarter. This may be a commendable trait on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.
Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Their drivers couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. Others, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged (多占) the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps. "They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning." Slanging-matches (互相谩骂)and even punch-ups are quite common. It can't be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used: we can then call our dual carriageways duel carriageways, and solve a spelling problem in the process.
Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be, he can't be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.
Ironically, misplaced courtesy can also be dangerous and selfish. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a lone car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a pedestrian crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not littered with the corpses of these grannies.
Road courtesy is good sense because ______.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文： [26] In America, driver's education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
[27] The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know. Driving time is a chance for the students to practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning comers, and all the other maneuvers required. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and the "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
[28]Driver's education cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. [281On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.

听力原文：W: Hi, Professor Higgins.
M: Hi, Julia.
W: [22] Would you be able to help me organize my essay？
M: Certainly. What topic have you chosen？
W: Women in Politics.
M: [23] That topic is very broad. I think you should narrow it down.
W: Do you think I could just do women in English speaking countries—say the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain？
M: Well, that would be better.
W: I am interested in the pattern of political involvement of women in those western democracies. With New Zealand and Australia leading the way, women in those countries had the vote soon after the end of World War I.
M: [24] It would be good to begin with a discussion of when women got the fight to vote and how they use it.
W: The record of women in politics in all those countries has been similar. None of them has women represented more than 10 percent of members of the national legislature.
M: Remember, it is not what you think. [23] You must back up your opinions with facts. Support for all your ideas is essential. I think you should check the statistics on what percentage of women hold political office in the national governments.
W: Okay, I also plan to discuss the role of organized women's fights.
M: That is a good idea, but remember this term-paper is only 5,000 words so [23] you must keep your topic focused.
W: Could I bring you a rough draft next week？
M: [25] I would prefer if you broughht an outline, breaking down your main topics and subtopics. It may be a good idea to bring some of your reference materials along.
W: Sure, I will do that. Thank you very much.

Are new government regulations threatening the company's profitability？ Only after the fundamental needs of a corporation have been established can the basic objective for a corporate program be isolated; without such a clearly defined objective the campaign will have little effect.
Note that we have spoken of "an objective," not a set of objectives. One cannot create at favorable climate among the financial community, emphasize one's concern for the environment, seek to attract new employees by the creation of a progressive image, give direct support to sales staff, and emphasize social responsibility, all in a single campaign. A scattering of diverse messages will confuse the reader and in the end he will absorb nothing.
After the prime reason for investment in the campaign has been decided upon, the second step is to collect all the information that one wishes to convey to the selected audiences. Since there is only objective for the campaign, one assumes that the audience has already been clearly identified during the selection of the objective.
The third step involves the selection of the best possible media to be used in the campaign. It is alarming how many advertising experts first create the campaign and then select the media. The print media are quite distinct from such media as radio and television in their advertising capabilities. Even within the print media there are critical differences in style. and approach which must be noted by anyone designing an advertisement for printing in a newspaper as opposed to a magazine. Magazine advertising in turn is not one unified field, for there are many different types of magazines and journals directed to entirely different audiences.
The fourth and last step is to find a suitable creative approach. If the objective is to develop a receptive climate among the financial community, for example, it would be a mistake to work with too much illustration and too few detailed data, too many clever words and too few facts and figures. In a campaign aimed at fixing in the consciousness of the general public an image of the company as a progressive and innovative leader in its field, on the other hand, it might be appropriate to emphasize dramatic illustrations and not take the chance of boring the audience with facts.
According to the author, the most important step in developing an effective campaign is ______.
