26、, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children. Judys parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in an
27、other city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judys children. They often sent the children presents. Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming
28、to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didnt surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldnt think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me
29、there was no deed for me to move, for they hadnt yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally Im worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. Well wait a bit and see wh
30、at happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds.” That was six months ago. During this time Ive heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go the
31、re.

36、found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的
37、) although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the g
38、overnment has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒危险) their lives by
39、 dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it
40、 a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage? （分数：2.00）A.Taller trucks can pass under them.B.Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C.They are safer for pedestrians and c
41、an keep traffic moving at the same time.D.They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.(2).Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing? （分数：2.00）A.Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B.Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C.Because they save money
42、for the government.D.Because they save time for the pedestrians.(3).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B.Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C.Overhead bridges are found in many parts
43、 of big cities in China.D.Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.(4).The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean _. （分数：2.00）A.a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB.a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and
44、white stripes on its bodyC.a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD.a safe place across a road for children to play a game(5).What is the writers attitude towards overhead bridges? （分数：2.00）A.It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B.It is much safer for pede
45、strians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult,C.An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D.To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage Three There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immedia
46、tely stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off. You cant entirely blame men for this change in manners, th
47、ough. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on
48、treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and shell probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea. Its no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the mans active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men. Maybe i
