4、Years ago our 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 them?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:passengers on the city buses did not have to 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:part of the street is for buses only,so the buses can travel fast.There are no cars or taxies in front of them.
In London,how does they solve the problem of the traffic congestion?
A、They take a completely-free bus servic
B、They experimented a very cheap bus servic
C、Part of the street is for buses onl
D、They closed the streets to car
(  D  )
5、Years ago,a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more,but enjoying it less.That describes the way many of us live today.We are doing more,but enjoying it less.And when that doesn't work,we get the problem.In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction,we try stuffing still more into our days,never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.
The truth is simple;so simple it is hard to believe.Satisfaction lies with less,not with more.Yet,we pursue the myth that this thing,or that activity,will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.
Arthur Lindman,in his very effective book,"The Harried Leisure Class,"described the uselessness of pursuing more.His research focused on what people did with their leisure time.He found that as income rose,people bought more things to occupy their leisure time.But,ironically,the more things they bought,the less they valued any one of them.Carried to an extreme,he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety.That was more than twenty years ago,and his prediction seems more accurate every year.
Lindman of course,is not the first to discover this.The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago.It is better,he wrote,to have less,but enjoy it more.
If you would like to enjoy life more,I challenge you to experiment with me.How could you simplify your life?What could you drop?What could you do without?What could you stop pursuing?What few things could you concentrate on?
The more I learn,the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things.The more I give up,the more I seem to gain.But words will never convince you.You must try it for yourself.
Arthur Lindman wrote__.
A、a popular novel
B、a research paper
C、Ecclesiastes
D、The Harried Leisure Class

6、Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them.Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths.First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves.Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom.It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children.Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
Part of the problem is__.
A、that people feel very emotional
B、that parents worry their children at school
C、that these children think education is a waste of time
D、that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets

7、The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication.Cell phones will be small enough to carry in your pocket.Videophones will let you see the person you are talking to on the phone.Tiny hand size computers will know your favorite subjects.The Internet and email will be everywhere.Technologists believe 2000 will be the year of video messaging.You will be able to see whom you're talking to.
Also in the near future small wireless boxes will pick up information from satellites.In 5 years,computers won't need to be connected through wires.
All of this will be good for rural areas and countries that don't have cable or telephone now.
In 20 years you may only need to think about something and the computer will do it.
Constance Hale is the author of Sin and Syntax,"I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication.People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday.So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations."
If people use email and the Internet more,it could make people better readers and writers.Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better.Will technology make that easier?
The translator also comes in handy in medical emergencies.Tam Dinh says,"Where people are injured it's always important to get as much information as quickly as possible."
Bob Parks is an Associate Editor of Wired Magazine,"Bob's morning begins at about 6:45 am.and Bob is kind of mad,because Bob usually gets up at around 7:15 and likes to cut it close with his morning commute,but I look at my radio and it says that there's a traffic jam on 101 South and I'm gonna need an extra 1/2 hour.And so my radio has got a net connection,wireless net connection as well as a good old power cord to the wall and it has received notice that there's a traffic jam and it has calculated an extra 1/2 hour commute time."
Some day everything may be connected to the Internet.Your refrigerator will add milk to your Internet grocery list when the date on the carton has passed.Light bulbs will be ordered before they burn out.
It's fun to try to guess the future.Usually the predictions are wrong.The one thing we know for sure is that we can't imagine how technology will change.
Why did Bob Parks radio wake him up 1/2 hour earlier than usual?
A、The electricity had gone off during the nigh
B、Bob had set the alarm wron
C、Bob did not want to be lat
D、The Internet had informed the radio of a traffic ja

8、“If there is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因)engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,et
C.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happene
D.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
How many ways does the phrase“to face the music”comes from?
A、1
B、2
C、3
D、4

9、Some college students drink too much alcohol at school.Many of them live on the campus.Heavy drinking has caused many problems.It can cause students to make bad choices and do dangerous things.
One college has decided to ban alcohol.It has gotten a reputation as a party school.Five students at the college have died from drinking too much alcohol.Recently,one student drank too much vodka.He slipped into a coma.The college hopes the new rule will prevent any more tragedies.
The new rule prohibits students from drinking alcohol in the dorms.The first time a student breaks the rule they will receive a warning.If they break the rule again,they will be evicted from the dorm.However,they will still have to pay for the dorm.Some students do not live on the campus.They live in houses near the campus.Those students are also banned from drinking alcohol,even if they are of legal age.
Freshmen at the college are now required to take a special course.The course is called AlcoholEdu,and lasts for two and a half hours.The students learn about the dangers of alcohol.They also take a survey to find out how much they know about alcohol.All first-year students must pass the course.
The college hopes that more information will help students make better choices.

10、Stress makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing,try to relax,and become calm again.Too much stress results in physical,emotional,and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress.Stress can affect the heart.It can increase the pulse rate,make the heart miss beats,and can cause high blood pressure.Stress can affect the respiratory system.It can lead to asthma.It can cause a person to breathe too fast,resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide.Stress can affect the stomach.It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food.These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress.People suffering from stress often feel anxious.They may have panic attacks.They may feel tired all the time.When people are under stress,they often overreact to little problems.For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice.Stress can make people angry,moody,or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses.Depression,an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness,can be the result of continued and increasing stress.Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress.Eating disorders,such as anorexia,are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress.If stress is allowed to continue,then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem.It attacks the body.So,reduce stress:stop the world and rest for a while.
