第3题：
Air pollution
People and air pollution are often in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major kind of air pollution is the gas from cars. Statistics(统计资料) show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities.
Another major kind of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the county.
On the average, we throw away more rubbish than the year before. The burning of rubbish makes air pollution even worse. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes(烟)from iron, steel, chemical, and petrol production add particles(微粒)to the air.
The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode(腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.
26. The key point of the passage is that().
A. the cause of air pollution is people
B. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in cities
C. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to death
27. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. to persuade people to stop polluting the air().
B. to tell the causes of air pollution
C. to tell why cities are bad places to live
28. Why is air pollution more grave in the city than in the country?().
A. Because there are larger populations in cities.
B. Because the air in the city is dirty.
C. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country.
29. The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal().
A. to corrode
B. to twist
C. to turn black
30. In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contribute to().
A. heart disease

Forests for Cities
You are standing in a beautiful forest in Japan. The air is clean and smells like plants and flowers.There are 175 different kinds of trees,and 60 kinds of birds live here.______(1) You are downtown in the city of Nara,Japan,in Kasugayama Forest,the oldest urban forest in the world.It was started more than a thousand years ago,and today it's very popular with tourists and artists.
Cities around the world are working to protect their urban forests. Some urban forests are parks,and some are just streets with a lot of trees.But all urban forests have many good effects on the environment.______(2)They also stop the noise from heavy traffic.They even make the weather better because they make the air 3-5 degrees cooler,and they stop strong winds. Urban forests also have many good effects on people. They make the city more beautiful. In a crowded area,they give people a place to relax and spend time in nature.______(3)
In some countries,people are starting new urban forests. In England,there are now 1.3 million trees in an urban forest called Thames Chase,east of London. It was started in 1990, and it has grown very fast.Walking and bicycle clubs use the forest,and there are programs for children and artists.______(4)
Some older cities don't have space for a big urban forest,but planting trees on the streets makes the city better. Scientists found that commuters（通勤人员）feel more relaxed when they can see trees.Trees are even good for business.______(5)In the future,urban forests will become even more important as our cities grow bigger. In the megacities（超大城 市）of tomorrow,people will need more green space to live a comfortable life. Planting trees today will make our lives better in the future.______(5)
A: People spend more time at shopping centers that have trees.
B: In hot countries,urban forests are cooi places for walking and other healthy exercises.
C: But you are not in rural area.
D: Trees take pollution out of the air.
E: In 2033,it will have 5 million trees.
F: It has many kinds of birds in the country.答案：A解析：从后面一句的“downtown”，可以看出，前面应该有和城市相对应的词。C项的rural是农村的意思。把C项填入后语义明确，说明奈良的城市森林覆盖率高，虽然会给你身在乡村的错觉，但这就是人家的城市风貌。所以选C。
前一句讲到城市森林对环境很有益，后一句“also”明显表明空缺的一句和 also所在句子讲述的都是具体的对环境有益的方面。所以选D。
在表达方式上，B项承接了前一句“In a crowded area, they give people a place to relax and spend time in nature.”，这两个是并列句。所以选B。
前面几句有几个关键词：now 1. 3 million trees,has grown very fast。作为本段的最后一句，一般要根据前文展望一下未来趋势。综合各个选项，E项比较合适。
从前一句Trees are even good for business可以看到，此句要具体说树木会如何促进商业活动。A项正合其意。 -
第7题：
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.
What city once experimented with a very cheap bus service?A.Londo
B.Rom
C.Stockhol
D.None of the abov答案：C解析：参见第三段。 -

第10题：
单选题“On the whole,” Ms. Dennis remarked, “engineering students are lazier now than they used to be. I know because fewer and fewer of my students regularly do the work they are assigned.” The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?AEngineering students are working less because, in a booming market, they are spending more and more time investigating different job opportunities.
BWhether or not students do the work they are assigned is a good indication of how lazy they are.
CEngineering students should work harder than students in less demanding fields.
DMs. Dennis’ students are doing less work because Ms. Dennis is not as effective a teacher as she once was.
ELaziness is something most people do not outgrow.
正确答案： B解析：
文段中丹尼斯女士根据：越来越少的学生做布置给他们的工作这一现象，得出结论：工程学的学生更懒了，所以可知丹尼斯女士以学生完成布置给他们的工作的情况来衡量学生的勤奋程度，故B项是正确的。 -
第11题：
问答题Practice 6 There are poor teachers, to be sure, and I’m convinced the teaching profession in this country must police itself more vigorously. I’ve thought sometimes that an incompetent teacher is worse than an incompetent surgeon, since a surgeon can cut up only one person at a time. However, it is also true that no profession is made healthy by focusing only on what’ s bad, and we must begin to see teachers as part of the solution, not the problem. Perhaps we can learn something from Japanese here. Teachers in that country are heroes of the culture. If we do so, we may come closer to identifying the reason for the differences in school performance in our two countries.正确答案：
【参考译文】
毫无疑问,也有不够称职的老师。我确信,这个国家的教育界应该大张旗鼓地进行整顿。有时我想,一个无能的老师比一个不称职的外科医生还要糟糕。因为一个不高明的外科医生一次只能误诊一个病人。然而,同样确定无疑的是,仅仅把注意力集中职业的消极方面,并不能使其健康发展。我们应该开始把教师看作是解决问题的一部分力量,而不是把他们看成是问题的所在。
在这方面我们或许能从日本人那里学到一些东西。在日本,教师是文化的精英。如果我们也能这样的话,我们就能进一步找出这两个国家在教育方面存在着差异的原因。解析： 暂无解析 -

Bpeople will soon stop using packaging altogether
Cenough research has been done into recycling

正确答案： B解析：
先看四个选项的意思：A“实际上包装很没用，可以被忽略”，B“不久人们就会停止使用包装”，C“在回收再利用方面已经有了足够的研究成果”，D“发掘新材料好过回收利用旧的材料”。由文章可知，只有少数包装是有用的，绝大多数包装只是为了吸引消费者，而消费者对包装并不感兴趣f并且专家认为解决污染问题的唯一途径是不再用塑料包装物。可总结得出：包装并无多大用处，我们可以忽略它。故选A。
