hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world.commuters(通勤者)rush to and from their jobs in cars，buses，subways，trains，and even on bicycles.large cities in the united states have two rush hoursone in the morning and one in the evening.but in cities in other parts of the world，there are four rush hours.in athens and rome，for example，many workers go home for lunch and a nap.after this midday break，they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.in tokyo，theres a big rush hour underground.most of the people in tokyo take the subways.the trains are very crowded.subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors place.they make sure that all purses，briefcases，clothes，and hands are inside the trains.in seoul，many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work，to hail_a_cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers.this means theyll pay the cab driver double the usual fare.some people even raise three fingers！theyll pay three times the normal rate.streets in rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行车)during rush hours.the city cant make its streets wider，and it cant build new highways，because it doesnt want to disturb many historic sites in the city，such as the forum and the colosseum.it took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system.construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古学家)in many big cities，there are special lanes on highways for carpools.these are groups of three or more people who driver to and from work together.they share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world.rush hour traffic seems to be a universal problem.31big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are _aspecial lanes on highwaysbmany commuterscfour rush hoursdmany cars on the street32most of commuters in tokyo _atake subway trains to workbare packersctake taxis to workdcarry briefcases to work33to“hail a cab”means to _apay double the normal ratebtry to get a

or not，optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes.japan is a case in point.it has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion.bent stripes，called chevrons(人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down.now the american automobile association foundation for traffic safety in washington dc.is planning to repeat japans success.starting next year，the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents，according to the foundation.to help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speedrelated hazards(危险)are the greatestcurves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half.however，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.chevrons，scientists say，not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.the result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.35the passage mainly discusses _aa new way of highway speed controlba new pattern for painting highwaysca new approach to training driversda new type of optical illusion36the american automobile association foundation for traffic safety plans to _atry out the japanese method in certain areasbchange the road signs across the countrycreplace straight，horizontal bars with chevronsdrepeat the japanese road patterns37what does the author say about straight，horizontal bars painted across roads?athey are falling out of use in the us.bthey are applicable only on broad roads.cthey cannot be applied successfully to traffic rules.dthey tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.38the advantage of chevrons over straight，horizontal bars is that the former _acan keep drivers awakebcan cut road accidents in halfcwill have a longer effect on driversdwill look more attractivecwildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions.although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals.here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.1create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.when trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife.this will also help cut down on pollution.add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.2avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your area.some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.3_by using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.take buses or the subway when you can，turn off electric devices when youre not using them, take shorter showers，and keep your room temperature at or below 68 degrees during the winter.4buy products that are wildlife friendly.dont buy products that are made from endangered animals.keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.5donate money or time to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.you can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife species in your neighbourhood.39we infer that the purpose of this passage is to _atell us why protecting wildlife is extremely important nowbsuggest that we protect wildlife through actionscexplain why protecting wildlife is not as hard as people thinkdgive us some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions40which of the following threats to wildlife is not mentioned in the passage?aanimal diseases.bloss of habitat.cpollution.dhunters.41whats the best title for the third point?ahave a greener lifestyle.buse less water and fewer fuels.ctake a bus when you go out.dtry a new kind of life.42the writer suggests that we _anot buy products made from animalsbshare cars with others when we go outcgrow as many kinds of plants in our gardens as possibledprovide shelters for birds and bats in our gardens or yardsdfourteenyearold richie hawley had spent five years studying violin at the community school of performing arts in los angeles when he took part in a violin contest.ninety two young people were invited to the contest and hawley came out first.the contest could have been the perfect setup for fear，worrying about mistakes，and trying to impress the judges.but hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm.“i couldnt be thinking about how many mistakes id makeit would distract(干扰)me from playing，”he says.“i didnt even remember trying to impress people while i played.its almost as if they werent there.i just wanted to make music.”hawley is a winner.but he didnt become a winner by concentrating on winning.he did it by concentrating on playing well.a characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration on work，rather than on their competitors or future glory or money，says dr.charles garfield，who has studied 1，500 achievers in business，science，sports，the arts，and professions.“they are interested in winning，but theyre most interested in selfdevelopment，testing their limits.”one of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses theyve had and how much theyve learned from each.“not one of the 1，500 i studied defined losing as failing，”garfield says.“they kept calling their lossessetbacks”a healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning，experts agree.“the worst thing you can do if youve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression.you should analyze carefully what went wrong，identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.”garfield believes that most people dont give themselves enough praise.he even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things youve done on the way to a goal.43hawley won the contest because _ahe put all his mind to his performancebhe cared much about the judges feelingsche worried about making mistakes.dhe paid close attention to the people around44high performers is that they tend to concentrate on _aglorybwealthcpleasuredwork45the passage tells us that“praise”in times of trouble _ahelps people deal with their disappointmentbmakes people forget their setbackscmakes people regret about their pastdhelps people realize their goals46it can be learned from the passage that top performers are not _ainterested in winningbfree of lossescaccustomed to failuresdconcerned about setbacksethe opera house in santa fe，new mexico，is one of the most beautiful in the united states.it is small and open，with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience.this opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country，which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer，and because santa fe is a very small city.one reason why the santa fe opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers.they all hope to sing in famous opera houses like metropolitan in new york someday，and they work hard to become wellknown during the summer.the musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队)and operas in the country during their vacations.they enjoy working there because they like to live in santa fe，which is near both the mountains and the desert.it is very beautiful there in summer.the state government of new mexico advertises the santa fe opera in newspapers all over the country，and a great many tourists come to new mexico because of the opera.still，most of the audience does come from santa fe and other nearby cities，and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.there is only one thing that some people do not like about the santa fe opera, and that is the cold weather.because the theater is open，performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine oclock in the evening，and then the mountain air becomes very cool.sometimes people complain about the cold air，but because the operas are good，these people come back again wearing warm coats.47this passage mainly introduces _aa mountain citybyoung musicianscan opera housedthe tourism in santa fe48young singers come to perform in santa fe opera because _athe music quality is highbthey enjoy the climate therecthey want to be famousdthey like the scenery there49it seems surprising that santa fe becomes famous because _ait is only a very small placebit is between the mountain and desertcall the seats are sold for every showdmusicians there are from the best orchestras50from the passage, we can learn that _athe opera house is open without any roofsbmusicians always spend vacations in santa fecthe government advertises to attract more musiciansdperformances are held in santa fe only after it is
