11、ed. 阅读理解ATraffic jam and cities, it seems, go hand in hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic; but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large ci

12、ties are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam. But is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unprevent

13、able byproduct of successful cities, and view the“traffic problem” in a different light. Cities exist because they promote social interactions and economic transactions. Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst

14、 traffic problems, while decaying cities dont have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are Americas most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses (经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to

15、postproduction film editors or satellite guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere. Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in l

16、arge, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay. So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility (交通不便) in uncrowded pla

17、ces are almost certainly greater. There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. Thats why, for now,

18、we dont see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like California, and Illinois. 【解题导语】本文就城市交通堵塞现象进行了阐述及分析，并对其造成的影响进行了说明。1We can conclude from the first paragraph that _Atraffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of the big city

19、Btraffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal withCif traffic engineers try their best, traffic jam can be solvedDpublic officials are always criticized for misusing their powerB解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it”可知， 人们对交通堵塞现象无能为力， 说明交通拥挤问题很棘手， 难以解决。2According

20、to the passage, whats the authors opinion towards traffic jam? AIn cities, traffic jam is unavoidable. BTraffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success. CTraffic jam is the consequence of successful cities. DFor a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable. C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句和第四段

21、最后一句可知， 作者认为交通拥挤是城市成功的一个不可避免的副产品， 应从另一个角度来看待交通拥挤现象。3By saying “decaying”(in Para. 3), the writer probably means _AdecliningBdevelopingCrich and successful Dstrong and healthyA解析：词义猜测题。根据该句所在句子中的while(而，却)表对比可知， decaying的意思应与successful相对， 故选A。4What can we learn from the last paragraph? ACalifornia is

22、 as crowded and successful as San Francisco. BThe traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in the capital becoming empty. CThe traffic jam level in Jakarta is lower than that in the US. DTraffic jam has caused terrible bad effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos. D解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知， D项正确， 其他

23、选项均与文中事实不符。BYouve probably never heard of Dr. June McCarroll, but shes truly a woman who left her mark on the world.Born in Nebraska, she was a general practitioner who lived in California. Interestingly enough, her fame lies outside the world of medicine. An accident got her thinking about making o

24、ur highways safer. Her car was sideswiped(擦边)，and she determined to do something about cars that crowded others off the road.Driving on a road that bulged(突起) down its center，Dr. McCarroll noticed that the bulge helped to keep motorists on their own side of the road. That gave her an idea. She tried

25、 persuading the local government to “paint a line down the middle of the road” to set an example and“lead the nation in public safety”She got the typical bureaucratic(官僚的) response. However, she was someone who would not take no for an answer. So she took her idea to the local womens club. The vote

26、was unanimous(一致同意的) in support of the project. Still, she continued to face bureaucratic stubbornness(固执) for seven long years before her idea was put into practice.In 1924 the California Highway Commission agreed to experiment with a centerline on two sections of Route 99. Accidents on both test s

27、tretches were reduced greatly, and soon the entire state marked McCarroll lines on its highways. Most of the world has since followed suit. Message: When you believe in an idea, go after that idea, especially if people you respect believe its a good one.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Dr.June McCarroll是第一个提出在高速公路的中央

28、划分界线的人，她因为这个创意而闻名于世。5What would be the best title for the passage?ASafety Problems on the HighwayBThe Woman Who Drew the LineCA Woman Who Had Her Own MindDHow the Highway Was Made SaferB解析：标题归纳题。综合分析文章可知，Dr. June McCarroll是第一个提出在高速公路的中央划分界线的人，因为她的这个创意，高速公路交通事故大大减少，故B项最能体现文章的中心。6When Dr. June McCarro

29、ll first put forward her suggestion, the local government_Adidnt support herBheld an unanimous voteCasked the local womens club to consider itDthought it was worth tryingA解析：细节理解题。从文章第三段第一句“She got the typical bureaucratic (官僚的) response.”可知，官员们没有理会她。7We learn from the last paragraph that _ADr. June

30、 McCarrolls idea only worked on two sections of Route 99Ba centerline on the highway worked as well as the bulgeCDr. June McCarrolls idea proved to be quite usefulDonly the state of California accepted Dr. June McCarrolls ideaC解析：推理判断题。文章最后一段说明，在高速公路中央画线后，事故大大减少，其他国家纷纷效仿，因此C项正确。8Through the story of

31、 Dr. June McCarroll, the author intends to tell us _Awe can become famous outside our own fieldBa chance always waits for someone who is well preparedCwe should go after our own idea no matter what others sayDwe should never give up our idea if we believe in itD解析：推理判断题。文章介绍Dr. June McCarroll的提议虽然遭到

32、官方的冷遇，但她从来没有放弃，并通过自己的努力最终获得成功。文章最后总结一旦你认为自己的想法是正确的，就应该坚持、不放弃。因此D项符合作者的意图。 七选五In the United States, teenagers can get their drivers license when they are only 16 years old, but it feels like forever until that day comes.

37、if you were caught going outside that route you would get in big trouble. 【解题导语】本篇文章讲述了美国未成年人学驾照的事情，主要讲了得到驾照的好处、所需要的步骤以及在什么情况下允许开车。最后得到驾照，它意味着自由，有时候会让生活变得更好。1D解析：考查对下文的理解能力。“But in my opinion, its worth it because it means having a lot of freedom.”但是在我看来它是值得的， 因为它意味着有很多的自由。此处句意转折， 所以前面应该是学习驾照的艰辛“Get
