called bike for a better city. they declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.for several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. for example, they want the city to draw special lanes（车道） for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. bike for a better city feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.but no bicycle lanes have been drawn. not everyone thinks it is a good ideathey say it will slow traffic. some store owners on the main streets dont like the ideathey say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.the city government has not yet decided what to do. it wants to keep everyone happy. on weekends, central parkthe largest place of open ground in new yorkis closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.but bike for a better city says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 56. in new york , a group of bike riders_.a. are keeping practising for healthb. have no cars of their ownc. are complaining（埋怨） there are not enough busesd. are trying to settle the problem of air pollution57. the bike riders suggest that_.a. bicycles should be used

cars and buses run slowlyb. they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parksc. they will make the city more beautifuld. the lanes will prevent accidents59. the government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn_.a. so that everyone is disappointedb. because there are different opinionsc. because most people travel by traind. because bike for a better city is not strong enoughbinspector joseph koehler has worked for the us customs service for years. one day a group of passengers arrived on a flight from belgium.koehler took special notice of one of the women among them. at first he did not know what made him pick her out of them the womans baggage was made of a purse and two suitcases. she showed no sign of fear when koehler opened them. yet koehler could not rid himself of the feeling that something was wrong.suddenly he knew what it was. the woman was too tall. this womans height didnt seem right somehow. then it was found that the bottom parts of her shoes were filled with something.the inspector opened them. a handful of diamonds fell out on the floor. more jewels were found under a false bottom in one of her suitcases. their total weight was 3,387 carats. it was one of the largest diamond hauls (缴获) ever made by the us customs.60. from the passage, we can know that joseph koehler _.a. only asked the women passengers to pay taxes on the valuable goodsb. had worked for almost one year in the us customsc. opened every passengers package when they passed the customsd. found a false bottom in one of the womans suitcases61.the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_”.a. the tax the woman should payb. the reason to pick the woman out c. the womans baggaged. the inspectors duty62. we can learn from the last paragraph that _.a. the woman was fond of making jokesb. the jewels were of high qualityc. koehler made great contributions to us customsd.us customs are in great need of inspectors like koehler63.which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. koehler was attracted by the womans beauty.b. the woman made some changes to her baggage. c. the job of a customs inspector is dangerous.d. the jewels were damaged by the us customs.cpeople often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways. it is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. so does laughter or crying. fear is another emotion(情感) that is shown in much the same way all over the world. in chinese and in english literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. however, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in chinese whereas in english it means surprise. in chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “stretching out your tongue” in english is an insulting(侮辱的, 无礼的)gesture or expresses strong dislike. even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. experiments in america have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. other studies show that older people usually find it easier to understand body language than younger people do. 64 which of the following is true according to the text? a. we can easily understand what peoples gestures mean. b. it is difficult to tell what peoples gestures really mean sometimes.c. gestures can be understood by most people but words are not. d. words can be better understood by older people.65.peoples facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because _ . a. people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressionsb. people speaking different languages have different facial expressionsc. people of different ages may have different interpretations (解释)d. people of different sexes may understand a gesture differently66.from the passage, we can conclude(得出结论) that _ . a. words are often more difficult to understand than gesturesb. gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelingsc. gestures can be used to express feelingsd. gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelings67.the best title for this passage can be _ . a. gestures b. feelings c. culture and understanding d. gestures and feelingsdnowadays, the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government. the government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further. rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people, but since farm products are needed every day, the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for them.many people may think the increase will help farmers. but have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers? as the fact shows, just increasing prices of farm products will have negative influence on the entire economy. on one hand, the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena(现象), which hurts farmers interests. on the other hand, resources(资源；物力) will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products, which would finally create negative effect on the whole economy. in such a case, it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products prices to protect the interests of farmers. actually, such a way will be better for farmers in the long run. 68. what does the author mainly want to tell us by writing the passage? a. farmers benefit a lot from the price increase. b. price increase has not helped farmers.c. we should be sorry for farmers.d. price increase has a bad effect on economy. 69. many people think the increase in the prices of farm products benefits _ . a. nobody b. the country c. middlemen d. farmers70. the following statements are true except _ . a. the government has done something to prevent the prices from rising furtherb. it is better for farmers to leave the market to decide the prices in the long runc. natural disasters did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatlyd. rising housing prices has made life very difficult for people71. what is probably the authors attitude to raising the farm products prices? a. negative. b. indifferent.(漠不关心的) c. enthusiastic. d. positive.evisitors to britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation(发行). the daily mirror and the daily express both sell about four million copies every day. british families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on sundays. besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the british press which sells almost as many copies. local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. almost every town and country area has one. nearly all of them hold their own finance and many of them are very profitable(赚钱的).these papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings, deaths, council(议会)meetings and sports. editors prefer to depend on people who know the district well. a great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news.the editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depend on advertising. they are usually for this reason. but if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the business are grateful for the chance to keep their products in the public eyes.72. local newspapers have_.a. a circulation as large as that of national newspapersb. a daily circulation of 13 mill
