Today, with modern techn

16、ology, the opposite is true. An engine operating under road conditions will warm up faster and run more efficiently than the one that is idling. Idling just burns gas ( on average, about a gallon an hour). When you have a full tank of gas, park the car downhill. This will prevent any gas from coming

17、 out of the tank. Parking in areas of less or no sunlight helps prevent the gas from steaming that would occur if you parked in the hot sun. Your car will stay cooler, too, and that means less gas consuming work for the air conditioner once the engine is started. Stay away from wide-track tyres if y

18、ou want top mileage (汽车耗费 1 加仑油所行驶的路程) . Narrow-track tyres produce less friction and thus less rolling resistance. The same effect is achieved by adding three to five pounds above recommended pressure to each tyre: while this wont noticeably affect you cars sliding quality, it will increase tyre li

19、fe and gas mileage. Check tyre pressure often, especially when the weather turns cold. The difference between winter and summer tyre pressure can be as much as eight pounds. This could cost you two miles per gallon.（分数：10.00）(1).The main purpose of the passage is to tell us_.（分数：2.00）A.how to drive

20、fasterB.how to drive a car properlyC.how to make a car run smoothlyD.how to make your car consume less gas(2).According to the passage, keeping the engine running idly_.（分数：2.00）A.will just waste gasB.will warm it up more quicklyC.will make it work more efficientlyD.is necessary in cold weather(3).P

21、arking your car in a cool place_.（分数：2.00）A.will take it longer to warm up the engineB.means less gas consumption for the air conditionerC.prevents any gas from coming out of the tankD.helps start your car more easily(4).Wide-track tyres_.（分数：2.00）A.wont noticeably affect your cars sliding qualityB.

22、can increase tyre lifeC.will increase rolling resistanceD.helps attain top gas mileage(5).Tyre pressure changes_.（分数：2.00）A.in different weather conditionsB.when narrow-track tyres are usedC.in different road conditionsD.when wide-track tyres are usedA major incentive (动力) for college attendance is

23、the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. Even if the return of your education isnt as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relatively poorly paid lawyer

24、than a secretary or a construction worker: you would probably rather be a manager than a managee. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off. It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgement to sa

25、y that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more toler

26、ant people. Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In ad

27、dition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in you hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people than you re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons. As a result of formal and

28、informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.（分数：10.00）(1).It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because they believe（分数：

29、2.00）A.a college education will provide them with a guarantee of success in lifeB.the economy of their country cant absorb an army of untrained youngstersC.a college education will make them better qualified for a careerD.the investment in a college education can bring a higher economic return than

30、before(2).We can learn from the second paragraph that_.（分数：2.00）A.college can hardly help people become better citizensB.most college graduates refuse to make any comment on their college educationC.a college education may not be the best thing for everyoneD.people consider their college education t

31、o be of great worth(3).The word “dedicated“ (Line 3, Para. 3 ) could best be replaced by_.（分数：2.00）A.hardworkingB.competentC.intelligentD.conservative(4).According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.A college student can enrich his knowledge and broaden his mind

32、 through formal and informal learning.B.A college education is likely to be a required credential (文凭) for the career a person wants.C.A college student who doesnt work hard can get nothing out of the courses he takes.D.A college education tends to have long-range effects on a persons knowledge and

33、values.(5).This passage is primarily concerned with_.（分数：2.00）A.the change of peoples attitude toward their college educationB.the benefits of a college educationC.the result of formal and informal learningD.the intercommunication among college studentsFor the most part, rapid economic development h

34、as been a favor. But there is a down side to developmenthealth problems such as overweight are all becoming more common, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labour-saving devices become more popular. An increasingly fast pace of life makes it difficult for p

35、eople to spend time playing sports. “ I know exercise is good for your health, “ a young lady said, “ But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watching TV and going to sleep. “ That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban a

36、dults in China have heart problems. Local researchers found that 31. 2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got enough physical activity. Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young p

37、eople, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesnt require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs an

38、d dancing are all helpful methods to improve ones health. The benefits of adding a little more activity to your life are priceless. “ There is no need to be an athlete (运动员) , however, “a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in some other physical activities three

39、 to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.（分数：10.00）(1).By referring to rapid economic development as “a favor“ at the beginning of the passage, the author means that_ .（分数：2.00）A.it has benefited the general public great

40、lyB.it has done harm to peoples health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a healthy lifestyle of the public(2).Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use

44、lowest type.When he was young, Jacob Lawrence often walked more than sixty blocks from his home in the Harlem section of New York City to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Jacob wanted to be an artist, and he believed that studying the famous painting hanging in that museum would help him. The year wa

45、s 1930. The depression (经济萧条) had brought hard times. As he walked through Harlem, Jacob noticed the people on the sidewalks. He looked hard at the churches, the funeral parlors and barbershops. Jacob stored those images in his mind, along with the images of paintings he saw in the museum. Jacob cam

46、e from a poor family. His mother believed there was little chance that her son could grow up to be a successful painter. She wanted him to aim for something more practical. But Jacobs teacher in an after-school art program saw that the youngster was talented. Alston showed him how to use poster pain

47、ts and crayons (蜡笔) to make masks and stage sets. As time passed, Alston let Jacob rent work space in his own studio. That was an exciting place for a young black man struggling to become an artist. Many creative people gathered there to talk about art and literature and history. From these conversa

48、tions, Jacob learned that history books often ignored the accomplishments of African Americans. He decided to paint a series of pictures dramatizing the story of a black hero. He chose Toussaint, a slave from the Caribbean island of Haiti, who had helped free his people from French ruling. Many peop

49、le admired Jacobs pictures, but he needed more than admiration. To help his family, he often had to work at jobs that took him away from painting. Then something encouraging happened. The government set up the Federal Art Project to help struggling artists survive the depression, and a sculptor (雕刻家) named Augusta got Jacob a job with the project
