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.

1. What the writer worries about in a big city is ______.

Athe number of traffic lights

Bthe shortage of buses

Cthe lack of motorways

Dthe traffic congestion

2. In London, how does they solve the problem of the traffic congestion?

AThey take a completely-free bus service

BThey experimented a very cheap bus service

CPart of the street is for buses only

DThey closed the streets to car

3. What city once experimented with a very cheap bus service?

ALondon

BRom

CStockholm

DNone of the above

4. In many cities pedestrians are now much safer because _____.

Ano traffic is allowed on some streets

Btraffic is computer-controlled

Ccars move very slowly

Donly one way streets are open to traffic

Social customs and ways of behaving change.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country.Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans.Promptness is important both in England and in America.That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests.There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party.When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

5. "Bad manners" in the last sentence means ______.

Augly

Bdishonest

Cimpolite

Dshameful

6. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?

AThe guest who ate his peas with a knife

BThe other guests who were amused or shocked

CThe host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way

DNone of the above

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.
They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things.Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film.If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward.The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near.But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories.In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory.When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak.This turns on a light to warn people in the factory.At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward.It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.
Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.

9. What made scientists think animal can be made to work for us one day?

BApes have worked in some factorie

CApes may one day be used to gather crop

DAn ape is not a large monke

Every year gray whales migrate from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
Eleven gray whales have died in the San Francisco Bay in the last three weeks.No one knows why the whales are dying.
Last year 270 whales died along the whales' migration route.Many people think starvation is the cause.This year the dead whales seem to have more blubber (fat) on them.
Twenty years ago, the gray whale was listed as an endangered species.
Some scientists think that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food.More whales create more pressure on the food supply, a supply that some scientists say may have dwindled as a result of the warm waters of El Nino.
Most of the whales have been dead for many days before they are found and studied.This makes it hard to find the reason for death.
65 whales have been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area this year compared to 17 last year.The whales could be dying from many diseases, but it may be over-population.

13. Which of the following is NOT a possible reason for whales dying?

APneumonia

BBrain infection

ATwice as man

BThree times as man

CHalf as man

DAbout the sam

The world"s oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday.Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe.
The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans.It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors.
Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice.Both processes are caused by global warming.The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say.But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.
The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data.Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.

17. What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?

AIt causes sea levels to rise

BIt causes sea levels to decrease

CIt causes sea levels to remain unchanged

DIt causes sea flood all over the globe

18. Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to __.

Alower water levels

Bchange their opinions

Cbetter predict climate change

Dbury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai

19. What was the main finding of the study?

AThe warming of the world's oceans is not a threat

BThat not enough is being done about global warming

CThere is a puzzling gap between the model and observations

DOcean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought

20. The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and __.

Alow-lying urban areas

Ball coastal cities

Cpeople who live on the beach

DShanghai
