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 transpor- tation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam.But is traffic jam a sign of failure？ Long queues at restaurants or theaters 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 unpreventable by-product of successful cities， and view the “traffic problem” in a different light.Cities exist because they promote social inter- actions and economic transactions.Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst 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 post-production 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 large， 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 places 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， we dont see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago， heading for cities like California， and Illinois. 1. We can conclude from the first paragraph that _.A. traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of the big cityB. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal withC. if traffic engineers try their best， traffic jam can be solvedD. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power2. According to the passage， whats the authors opinion towards traffic jam？A. In cities， traffic jam is unavoidable. B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success.C. Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities.D. For a successful city， traffic jam is not unpreventable. 3. By saying “decaying” (in Para. 4)， the writer probably means _.A. decliningB. developingC. rich and successfulD. strong and healthy4. According to this article， which statement about “New York” and “Los Angeles” is TRUE？A. The traffic jam in the two cities has been worsened.B. New York and Los Angeles are the most success- ful cities in the USA.C. It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in the two cities than in other cities.D. Despite the traffic jam in LA， youll find a satellite- guidance engineer more quickly there.任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格填1个单词。(2012泰州高二检测)One of the advantages of being self-employed is that the profit the business makes belongs to the owner. If the self-employed person is successful in business， he or she has the chance to earn plenty of money and even become wealthy. The profit earned by a self-employed person is the reward for his or her effort， ability， and creativity. Thus， a second advantage of being self-employed is that a persons intelligence and abilities have a direct effect on his or her earnings. People who have outstanding abilities or intelligence often find they can earn far more through self-employment than they can through working as an employee. A third advantage of being self-employed is that a person can control their working hours. While not all self-employed people are completely free to choose whatever hours they want to work， most of them have more control over this area than the people who work for salaries or wages.As with most things in life， being self-employed is not without problems first， being ones own boss places the responsibility for success directly on that individuals shoulders. Abilities and intelligence will be put to the test. Everyone has some weaknesses and is less capable in some things than in others. These weaknesses will affect how successful a self-employed person is. Second， though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business， losses can force them out of business and， in some instances， place them in debt. A third disadvantage concerns income security. Self-employed people have no guaranteed income. Their earnings can vary greatly from year to year， depending on business conditions. Salaried people， on the other hand， can generally count on continued earnings from year to year. In addition， salaried people often enjoy fringe benefits(额外补贴)， which are all of the benefits provided for employees in addition to wages and salaries. One of these benefits may be insurance paid for by the employer that continues the employees salary in the event of sickness or accident. Many self-employed people do not have such protection， unless they put money aside themselves.Self-employed people8._Advantagesmaking profits2._earning plenty of money and becoming wealthycounting on 9._ earningsessence(本质)3._ for effort， ability and creativityintelligence and abilities 4._ their earnings directlyenjoying fringe benefits 10._ wagesworking hours are 5._ free1. _shouldering the 6. _ for successnot free at working time7. _out of business， even in debthaving no guaranteed income答案与解析.1. anniversary 2. user-friendly 3. enlarged 4. prime 5. undertake 6. postpone 7. convey 8. choke 9. unbelievable 10. unfortunately.1. permit 2. drop off 3. convey 4. unbelievable 5. undertake 6. function as 7. link up 8. choked 9. has been postponed 10.
