  A police officer in the U.S.stopped a large SUV car that was going very slowly and drifting across lanes on a highway.[1] He expected to find a driver who was either very drunk or having a medical emergency.Instead,the officer discovered a five-year-old boy sat on the edge of the driver’s seat.His feet could barely reach the brake,and his head was only just high enough to see out of the windows.The child had taken the keys to the family car while his teenage sister was napping.He then drove three kilometers across town before gtting on the highway.[2] The boy later told confused officers that he was planning to travel to California and buy a Lamborghini sports car.Although he onls had three dollars in his wallet,at least he was driving in the right direction.

1. A. He noticed the driver was too young to drive.
   B. He found there was no one sitting at the wheel.
   C. He thought something must be wrong with the driver.
   D. He saw the driver changing lanes much too frequently.

1.Why did the police officer stop the SUV car?

C.  他认为司机一定出了问题。                 
D.  他看到司机频繁地变换车道。

新闻开头提到，警官拦下了一辆大型SUV，这辆汽车行驶速度非常慢，而且在公路上横穿车道。他本以为会发现司机要么喝得酩酊大醉，要么需要急救，故C项为正确答案。其余三个选项在新闻中均未提及，可排除。

D.去看望他的姐姐。          

新闻末尾提到，男孩告诉困惑的警官，他打算去加利福尼亚买一辆兰博基尼跑车，故A项为正确答案。新闻提及小男孩开车穿行小镇三公里后上了公路，但开车穿过小镇不是他的目的，故排除B；C 项与新闻内容正好相反，男孩私自开车是要去加利福尼亚，而非离开加利福尼亚，故排除C； 新闻提及他趁十几岁的姐姐打瞌睡时拿走了车钥匙，他并非要去看望姐姐，故排除D。

Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.

【听力原文】

  Mobile phones have changed the way we live,how we read,work,communicate,and shop.But we already know this.[3] What we have not yet understood is the way the tiny machines in front of us are changing our skeletons possibly altering not just the way we behave but even the very shape of our bodies.
  New scientific research at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,Australia,suggests that young people are developing extra pieces of bone at the backs of their heads.These pieces of bone are caused by the way people bend their heads when they use the phone.This shifts weight onto the muscles at the back of the head and causes the bone to grow in a way that is not normal.[4]This process can be compared to the way the skin hardens in response to constant rubbing or pressure .The result is a piece of bone like a hom that ticks out fom the head by the neck.

新闻末尾提到，人们长期使用手机时低头的方式会导致后脑勺长出额外的骨头块儿，这一过程可以比作皮肤在持续摩擦或压力下变硬的过程。由此可知，皮肤在持续摩擦或压力下会变硬，故C项为正确答案。其余三项新闻中均未提及，可排除。
