Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he had a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels.
There are some reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
Also the American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.
Most Americans feel they are poor when they______

A. are out of work
B. have no food
C. have no money
D. have no car

Motorways are, no doubt the safest roads in Britain. Mile【41】mile, vehicle for vehicle, you axe much【42】likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road. On【43】hand, if you do have a serious accident on a motorway, fatalities are much more likely to【44】than in a comparable accident【45】on the roads.
Motorways have no【46】bends, no roundabouts or traffic lights and【47】speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70 mph limit is【48】in force, it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30 mph limit applying in built up areas in Britain. Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in groups with perhaps【49】ten meters between each vehicle. The resulting horrific pile-ups【50】one vehicle stops for some reason—mechanical failure, driver error and so on—have become all【51】familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How【52】of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred meters to brake to a stop【53】70 mph? Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete protection from the changing weather.【54】wet the road, whatever the visibility in mist or fog, they【55】at ridiculous speeds oblivious of police warnings or speed restrictions【56】their journey comes to a conclusion.
Perhaps one remedy【57】this motorway madness would be better driver education. At present, learner drivers are barred【58】motorways and are thus as far as this kind of driving is【59】, thrown in at the deep end. However, much more efficient policing is required,【60】it is the duty of the police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own foolishness.
