15、cities were full of cars, buses and trucks. Now the streets are completely congested (拥挤的) and it is very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years? Will enormous (巨大的) motorways be built across t
16、hem? With big motorways cutting across them, full of noisy, dirty cars and lorries, our cities are going to be awful places. How can we solve the problem? There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars. In 1989, for example, the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment: passe
17、ngers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.

21、age Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)As far back as he could remember, Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star. The young man“s hopes for success were broken again and again, however. Hollywood just did not seem interested. When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and
22、 return home without success. Therefore, he kept on trying. Someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come. Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood“s big restaurants. His pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living. O
23、ne day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture. Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he stopped, jumped out, and ran over to th
24、e director. “Excuse me, sir, but I think it“s only fair to tell you that it“s now or never if you want me in your next picture. A lot of big companies are after me.“ Instead of pushing away the boy, the director got interested in Larry“s words and stopped. “Yes? Which companies?“ he asked. “Well,“ r
25、eplied the boy, “there“s the telephone company, the gas company, and the electric company, to tell you only a few.“ The director laughed, then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man. “Come and see me tomorrow.“ Larry got a small part in the director“s next film.

29、tor PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain“s outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws. Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen“s Speech next week. Some publi
30、c bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours. Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 11 p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same t
31、ime. The move will be opposed by some MPs (下院议员) who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism, drunken behavior and crime. But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day. Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be
32、turned down. Mr. Blair said: “We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing. In the end, the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior. At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pu
33、bs and city centers at particular hours of the evening.“ The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities. In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement, the Government is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of o
34、ffences from vandalism. The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.（分数：12.00）(1).The “Bill“ in the second paragraph refers to _.（分数：3.00）A.some new pubs and clubs will be openB.some pubs and clubs will be closedC.pubs and clubs can be ope

36、l go to pubs with other customersB.the police will commit crimes if they drink too muchC.the police will watch people closer to prevent crimesD.the police will catch potential criminals(4).Underlined words “petty crime“ in the last paragraph means _.（分数：3.00）A.the crime which is not very seriousB.th
37、e crime which is very seriousC.violent crimeD.car crime八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don“t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a
38、table with people you don“t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free re
39、fill. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can“t finish your
40、 meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag“. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner“. This is an especially big
41、 noon meal. Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitres

47、ople still can“t fly. Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moller has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests.
