A
New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school ? So, we should know something about its transport.
In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a.m. to 4 a. m. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less crowed because most people are already at school or at work.
51. The text is mainly about ___________ .
A. the weather of New York B. the transport in New York
C. the people in New York D. traffic accidents in New York
52. The fastest way to travel in New York is by ___________ .
A. subway B. taxi C. bus D. car
53. The most expensive way to travel in New York is by _____________ .
A. subway B. taxi C. bus D. car
54. The phrase “rush hour” in the fourth paragraph means “________ “ in Chinese.
A. 比赛中的冲刺时刻 B. 一小时内所跑的路程
C. （上下班）交通高峰时刻 D. 匆匆忙忙的一小时
55. It you travel around New York in your own car, which of the following is the best time ?
A. From 8 a. m. to 10 a. m. B. From 3 p. m. to 5 p. m.
C. From 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. D. From 10 a. m. to 3 p. m.
B
Computer games are just fun, I have been playing them for years, and I have become really good at it. Some of my classmates think that I’m quite special. What’s so special about that ?
One day I was having lunch at school. Suddenly a girl I didn’t know came and sat next to me “What do you do for fun ?” She asked . “ I am a gamer,” I said in a low voice. “A gamer!” She couldn’t believe what I was saying and she burst into laughter, with all the apple pie out of her mouth.
Most people think gaming is suitable for boys, but not for girls. Maybe I should cut my hair short and change my actions so that I look like a boy.
Actually, most boys don’t feel there is anything wrong with my hobby. I have met many boy gamers— some online and some face-to-face. None of them think badly about me being a girl gamer. I have made some good friends with them.
Playing computer games is also a kind of relaxing. I don’t know why people feel strange about girls who play games. Girls who play games do it for the same reason as boys do: it’s something fun to do in your spare time.
56. The writer can play computer games quite well because ___________ .
A. she is very smart B. she is very special
C. she plays it a lot D. she studies very hard
57. What do some of the writer’s classmates think of her ?
A. Helpful. B. Friendly. C. Intelligent. D. Different.
58. It seems that ____________ are more surprised at the writer’s hobby than ___________ .
A. boys, girls B. teachers, students C. girls, boys D. students, teachers
59. The writer has a __________ attitude towards girls playing computer games.
A. bad B. strange C. negative D. positive
60. The best title for the passage is ______________ .
A. Computer games B. Boy gamer
C. Girl gamers D. Boys and Girls
C
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us ? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pucks us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways, People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robot will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today, Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
61. According to the text, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live __________ .
A. on Mars B. on the moon C. under the sea D. in the sun
62. So far, how long will it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship ?
A. Two or three days B. A few months
C. A few days D. A few years
63. In the future, the students on Mars ____________ .
A. will study mainly through the internet B. will study mainly in a classroom
C. will meet each other face to face every day D. needn’t study at all
64. Life on Mars will be better than life on the earth because ___________ .
A. only a few people will live there B. there will be more space and less work to do
C. there will be much delicious food D. all students don’t need to do any homework
65. According to the text, which of the following about Mars is NOT true ?
A. Transport will be much better and faster.
B. We need to develop a special plant which can produce water.
C. On Mars, we can jump higher than on the earth.
D. Food will be much more tasty.
