題目列表(包括答案和解析)


Driving In America
Keep Right
The traffic follows the “keep right rule”. While driving, drive on the right side of the road. On one-way, multiple lanes(車道) road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest.
Hand Signals
Though indicators(車的指示燈) are used for the purpose of showing which direction you are going, knowing some hand signals is very important and are usually always asked in a driving test. When you want to turn right, you can put your left hand out of the window and point upward. When you want to make a left turn, you can reach your left arm out of the window and point to the left. If you want to slow down or stop, you can just point downward.
School Buses
Yellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side. The drivers use these warning signals when letting pupils on and off. No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop. It’s the law. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed.
Using the Horn
Using horns is not common in America. Actually they are very rarely used. You may use your horn to warn walkers or other drivers of possible trouble or to avoid accidents. Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’ mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster.

C

Snoopy and Lou were robbers. Half a year ago, they decided to plan another bank robbery. It was to be their last one. Then they would give up this business and live a comfortable life. The job was so well done that the judge who sent them to prison for fifteen years each said it was the cleverest robbery of the century, and what a pity it was that their car had used up its petrol not far from the bank.

After they were in prison for a few weeks, Snoopy and Lou decided to escape. Soon they worked out a plan as good as any they had ever made. Even the smallest points were considered carefully. They planned as a team because they lived in the same room, and because the guards, who had a great deal of respect for the famous robbers, left them very much alone. They decided the quickest and safest way to escape was to squeeze themselves along a drain form their present workplace in the prison to a quiet country road on the other side of the prison wall.

The great day arrived, and the pair started along the drain. With great difficulty, they squeezed themselves along for what seemed ages. In half an hour , they could see daylight. When they got out, the men were so pleased with themselves at their success that they sloped each other on the back. It was only then that they realized they were not alone. They looked around, they found themselves facing thirty astonished policemen, who were carrying musical instruments of various sorts. The next morning, the same judge seemed very sorry as he told Snoopy and Lou that the plan of the prison drain system, which they had studied so carefully, was more than twenty years old, and that the quiet country road was no longer there. The drain now led directly to the parade ground where the police band had just finished practicing when the two robbers appeared before them.

64．What was Snoopy and Lou’s plan to escape from the prison?

A．They planned to run away while working

in the prison workplace.

B．They planned to climb over the prison wall, on the other side of which was a quiet country road.

C．They planned to crawl along the drain which led to a country road

D．They planned to get to the parade ground through the drain which was empty when the police band was not practicing.

65．Snoopy and Lou failed in their plan to escape because_________.

A．they did not play well before hand

B．they were not quick enough in their action

C．the policemen had been keeping a watchful eye on them

D．the map of the prison drain system they used was out of date

66．According to this article, which of the following statements is true?

A．When Snoopy and Lou went out of the drain, thirty policemen were waiting for them.

B．When Snoopy and Lou found themselves facing thirty policemen, they turned round and ran in the direction of the country road.

C．The policemen caught Snoopy and Lou by chance

D．The policemen were frightened more than surprised when the two robbers suddenly appeared before them

67．It seemed the judge________.

A．a(chǎn)dmired Snoopy and Lou for their cleverness

B．felt very proud to try the two famous robbers for their crime

C．was very angry at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law again and again

D．was sad at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law again

　　The European capital cities, Berlin and London, running the third and the fourth richest economies in the world, both produce about a metric ton of rubbish for each household per year．But when it comes to disposing of their citizens’ waste, the comfortable similarities end．

　　London, and Britain as a whole, is in the middle of a waste crisis．Today, the environment secretary, Margaret Beckett, is presiding over a waste summit to try to find out why the UK is not going to reach its 25％ recycling and composting(轉(zhuǎn)制成堆肥)target by 2005; currently, it is managing 11％．

　　By comparison, Berlin and Germany know exactly where they are going．Although Berlin has been the capital for less than a decade, and has had east and west to unite, it has already reached 40％ recycling．The city has one ambition：to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 year’s time．So far, the city has not decided quite how, but it is developing new technologies and moving steadily in the right direction．London, by comparison, has a chaotic system．The 33 boroughs all have different recycling systems．

　　Ken Livingstone, who since taking office as mayor has published a brand-new waste management strategy for the capital, is responsible for sorting out this hotch potch(雜亂的一堆東西)．One of the most contentious issues both for London and Berlin is incineration(焚燒), with both cities burning a large proportion of their waste－London 20％ and Berlin 32％．

　　Here again Berlin has made decisions and London is uncertain．Berlin has a state of the art incinerator in the 1970s and upgraded constantly until in the 1990s it is impossible to detect any emissions but warm gases．The city has abandoned plans to build another and instead wants to make the existing one redundant by reducing the waste so there is none to burn．

　　London boroughs have plans to increase the size of the incinerator at Edmonton and there are plans to build more elsewhere．But Livingstone is resisting and the government is already rethinking its current energy from waste policy．

　　Samantha Heath, the chair of Greater London Authority’s environment committee, wants to invest in the market for recycled goods so there is somewhere for the material to go and a prospect of selling it, or at least disposing of it for less than the price of incineration or landfill

　　Ingolf Rank, spokesman for Berlin’s City Cleaning company has some advice：“The first task is to get the public on your side．” Each household has to pay 40 pounds every three months to dispose of its rubbish．In future, the less they create, the more they recycle and compost, the less they will have to pay, he says．

　　Each house in Berlin has a series of different coloured bins for refuse so glass, paper and plastics can be separated for recycling．This allows 800 000 tonnes of rubbish a year to be turned back into useful items．

　　But Berlin has ideas that have not ever been heard of in London．For example, at this time of year, thousands of trees that line Berlin’s streets shed their leaves．Rather than put these leaves into general rubbish and add to the problems of disposal, they are collected up in large vacuum cleaners and turned into garden compost．Most of London has no composting service at all．

　　Another system that stops material even being called rubbish is a collection service for second-hand furniture and electrical goods less than seven years old．Each offering is inspected, taken to a central shop, and sold at low cost to poorer people．It saves a lot of material being dumped．

　　Not all goes according to plan in Berlin, however．Rank says that people dump waste in the streets, like mattresses, old furniture or just general rubbish cost the city 2.8 million pounds a year．

　　One problem the city has tried to solve but failed, is the excreta of 150 000 dogs．Rank says it is the owners’ responsibility to clean up after their pets but police who tried enforce the law were “sometimes bitten(by the dogs), insulted by the owners and even beaten up．As a result we still have to clean up 40 tonnes of droppings every day．Nobody is happy about that．”

(1)

Which of the following is correct? _________

[　　]

A．

By 2005, UK is going to reach its 25％ recycling and composting target．

B．

UK has survived a waste crisis already．

C．

Berlin has 33 boroughs with different recycling systems．

D．

Germans are ambitious to have no rubbish to dump or burn in 20 years’ time．

(2)

Which is the main way for the two countries to deal with rubbish?

[　　]

A．

To bury．

B．

To incinerate．

C．

To sell

D．

To compost．

(3)

Inferring from the passage, which of the following is the main factor for Germans’ abandoning the incineration system?

[　　]

A．

Citizens’ protest．

B．

High opportunity cost．

C．

Air pollution．

D．

Less produced rubbish．

(4)

What do people in Berlin do with the fallen leaves?

[　　]

A．

Landfill．

B．

Burning．

C．

Putting then into the dustbin．

D．

Turning them to fertilizer．

The writer uses the _________ as a figure of speech．

There are two key elements to Nadal’s victories over Federer--speed and left-handed ground strokes.

       If tennis court surfaces get any faster, left-handed Rafeal Nadal, may eventually dominate（支配）right-handed Roger Federer, for the simple reason that left-handed sportsmen in general have naturally quicker reflexes（反應(yīng)）.

       French sports researchers, led by Dr. Guy Azemar, are convinced, after 15 years of experiments, that the growing domination of left-handers in tennis can no longer be put down to their unorthodox（非正統(tǒng)的）technique. They say that everything points to left-handers having several thousandths of a second more time to react.

       The researchers were struck by the disproportionate(不相稱的) success of left-handers. Left-handers dominate at the top although 90 percent of people are right-handed. Of the world's200 top tennis players, 16 percent are left-handed but five of the top 20 and three of the top four are left-handers. Federer, therefore, is considered to be an exception--a right-hander who can make up with technique what he loses in reflex.

       Dr. Azemar is convinced that the advantage is explained by the way messages are carried from the brain. "We want to show that the sorts of information needed in sport-speed and direction of attack-are treated by the right-hand side of the brain which handles the organization of time and space," he said. "With left-handers the message is transmitted direct to the left-hand side of the brain first, the side which treats logic. Then it is passed to the other side causing a loss of thousandths of seconds. "

1．It is implied in the first two paragraphs that              .

       A．Nadal is a better player than Federer

       B．Nadal can play as well as Federer

       C．Federer has naturally quicker reflexes

       D．Nadal has naturally quicker reflexes

2．The increasing domination of left-handers in tennis                       .

       A．was once considered the result of unorthodox technique

       B．is possible after 15 years of experiments

       C．is due to their unorthodox technique

       D．can no longer be controlled

3．How many left-handers are there among the world's 200 best tennis players?

       A．16                      B．20                       C．32                      D．90

4．The author suggests, but does not directly say, that Federer wins because           .

       A．he uses right hand                                                               B．he is the best player

       C．he has quicker reflexes                         D．he has better technique
