15、rucks. 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) motorways be built across them? With big motorways cutting across
16、 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: passengers on the city buses did not have to
17、 pay for their tickets.In Stockholm there was another experiment: people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus, train or tram in all the city.In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles, and pedestrians are safe there.In London there is another experiment:

21、.D.Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲)
22、. It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry b
23、read. If the man could not eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his a
24、ppetite and does not want to eat.（分数：12.00）(1).We must have good eating habits because_.A. we want to eat more B. we want to enjoy our mealsC. we want to be healthy and strong D. we want to grow up quickly（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It is good to eat sweets and ice-cream_.A. when we are hungry B. when we w

They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost co
27、usin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened. “Who did this?“ my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. “This is all your fault, Katharine,“ my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.From the time we were little, my sister, brothe
28、rs and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table. But the Whites didnt worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car
29、 trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new drivers license(驾照), Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone
30、she met. The big sisters shared the driving of Sarahs new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a sto
31、p sign. Whether she was nervous or just didnt see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that Ive eve
32、r done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few
33、cuts on the head; Amys leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simpl
34、y said, “Were so glad that youre alive.“I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign. Mrs. White said, “Janes gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But A
35、my has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death?“They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. Shes also a mother of
36、two little girls of her own, the older named Jane.（分数：9.00）(1).The author of the passage is_.A. Mrs. Whites nieceB. Janes school friendC. the Whites cousinD.

37、d sorry for the rest of her lifeB. Amy was badly injured herself and they didnt want to add to her painC. they didnt want to blame their children in front of othersD. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).From the passage we can learn that_.A. Amy has never reco
38、vered from the shockB. Amy changed her job after the accidentC. Amy lost her memory after the accidentD. Amy has lived quite a normal life（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.“Dad, in a hurry to get home b
39、efore dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belta mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most commo
40、n.Myth Number One: Its best to be “thrown clear“ of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear“ is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are youll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show,
41、 that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.“Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap“ people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry, again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing sa
42、fety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles
43、 per hour (mph).Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.（分数：15.00）(1).Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead“?A.

46、seatD. may get caught in the car door（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe_.A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentC. they will be caught when help comesD. cars catch fi

48、ked for only a few minutes when it suddenly occurred to him that he was being followed. There was no evidence for it except a slight tingling (隐隐作痛) of the scalp (头皮) and an extra awareness of the people near him, but he had faith in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in from of the shop window
49、he was passing and looked casually back along 46th Street. Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was sheltered from the sun. There was no sudden movement into a doorway, nobody casually wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition,
