In this case. the argument for strict regulation is compelling. (16)Water scooters are a particularly deadly form of water recreation. For example, two women were vacationing in Longboat Key. While they were floating on a rubber boat along the shore, a water scooter crashed into them and killed them. Also, water scooter operators have been killed and seriously injured in collisions with other water craft. Others have been stranded at sea when their scooters either failed or sank far from shore. (17)Many water scooter operators are inexperienced orant of navigational rules, which increases the potential for accidents. The increasing popularity of the scooter has aggravated the problem, providing more water vehicles to compete for the same space. Crowded waterways are simply an open invitation to disaster. In addition to the inherent operational hazards of water scooters, (18)they to be an environmental nuisance. Beach residents complain of the noise of the scooters. The Pacific Whale Foundation on the west coast expressed concern that (19)the scooters are fri htenin awa an enddangered species of whale that migrates to Hawaii for breeding Regulations, such as minimum operating age,restricted operating , and compulsory classes in water safety. are essential.

Passage Two
It seems to me that neighbors are going out of style in America. The friend next door from whom you borrowed four eggs or a ladder has moved and the people in there now are strangers. Some of the traditional stories of neighborliness are impractical or silly, and it may be just as well that our relations with （ 20 ）our neighbors are changing. The saying in the Bible "Love Thy Neighbor" was probably a poor translation of what must have originally been -Respect Thy Neighbor." Love can't be called up on order. (21)Fewer than half the people in the United States live in the same house they lived in five ears a o, so there's no reason to love the people who live next door to you just because they happened to wander into a real estate office that listed the place next door to yours. The only thing neighbors have in common, to begin with, is proximity, and unless
something more develops, that isn't reason enough to be best friends. It sometimes happens naturally, but the chances are very small that your neighbors will be your choice as friends. Or that you will be theirs, either.(22)The best relationshi with nei hbors is one of friendly distance. You say hello, you small-talk if you see them in the yard, you discuss problems as they arise and you help each other in an emergency. The driveway or the fence between you is not really a cold shoulder, but a clear boundary. We all like clearly-defined boundaries for ourselves.
20. What does the speaker say about the relations among neighbors nowadays?
D)【精析】事实细节题。对于现在的邻里关系，文中明确提到，我们与邻居的关系正在发生变化。
21. Why does the speaker say it may be difficult for people to love their neighbors?
B)【精析】目的原因题。文中提到，不超过一半的美国人在一个地方的居住时间超过五年，很难建立深厚的邻里友谊，所以这也是人们很难喜欢邻居的原因之一。B)是对此句的简短概括。
22. What should neighbors do in the speaker's opinion?
C) 【精析】事实细节题。对于处理邻里关系，短文在结尾处提出了建议：最佳的邻里关系是保持一种友好的距离；C)是对该意思的同义转述。
Passage Three
Articles in magazines and newspapers and special reports on radio and television reflect the concern ol many Americans about the increasing dropout rate in our junior and senior high schools. (23)Coupled with thi~, fact is the warning that soon we will no longer have a workforce to fill the man 'obs that re uire ro erl educated personnel. The high student dropout rate is not a recent development. Ten years ago, many urban schools were reporting dropout rates between 35 and 50 percent. Some administrators maintain that dropouts remain the single greatest problem in their schools. Consequently, much effort has been spent on identifying students with problems in order to give them more attention before they become failures. (24)Since the dro op_9_~ problem doesn't start in senior high school, s cial ro rams in "unior hi h school focus on students who show promise but have a record of truancy, that is, staying away from school without permission. Under the guidance of counselors, these students are placed in classes with teachers who have had success in working with similar young people. (25)Strategies to motivate students in high school include rewarding academic excellence~ scholars of the month,or by issuing articles of clothing, such as school letter jackets formally given only to athletes. No one working with these students claims to know how to keep all students in school. Counselors, teachers and administrators are in the frontlines of what seems at times to be a losing battle. Actually, the problem should be everyone's concern, since uneducated, unemployed citizens affect us all.
23. Why are many Americans concerned with the increasing dropout rate in school?
D)【精析】目的原因题。短文开头就提到学生辍学率不断提高所带来的不良影响：会导致将来缺乏具有适当教育水平的社会劳动力，该结果也正是许多美国人担心此事的主要原因。
24. What do we learn about the student dropout problem in America?
B)【精析】综合理解题。对于美国学生辍学这一问 题，文中提到辍学现象不是开始于高中，而是在初中就已经出现了。换句话说，辍学现象对初、高中都产生了影响。
25. What is mentioned as one of the strategies used to motivate students?
