kilometers off the center. wow!all cities of this size suffer from the modern problem of air pollution, which is the biggest problem at present. you must disagree that overcrowding affects every part of our lives in the city. heres an example. we often face difficulties with both public and private transport. buses can be slow and uncomfortablebecause all the people are using them. and using cars is almost impossible in some cities. youve guessed the resulttraffic jam! parking in the rush hour? forget it! another area of our lives that is affected is the actual space were living in. space? thats a joke! in cities people often have to share narrow stairs with strangers and move around small rooms.and 99% of homes have no gardens. this can cause problems with neighbors and stress within families. there are two main things that could be done. my first suggestion is that there should be more planning. letsuse all the existing free space in the cities. my second advice sounds a little difficultthe government should encourage areas outside big cities to become less dependent on city centers. 答案: 610.bcaba 1115.abbab 1620.bacab 第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)阅读下列短文,

end of the line). the market street station is located at the 16th street market(take the free bus to the north end of the line). youll be able to find all schedules for buses in the rtd system. youll also be able to buy any pass, etc. . all monthly passes and 10 ticket coupon(优惠券)books(pay for 10 bus rides at a time)can be bought at any king sooners store in the denver subway area. all buses have bike holders on the front of the bus. these can be used at no extra charge, but it is your responsibility to load and unload your bike. the driver is not allowed to assist you. you can bring a bicycle on the light rail trains during off peak hours(非高峰时间)it doesnt cost extra. they just ask that you board at the back of the train. all buses are wheelchair accessible. the trains go from 30th & downing streets to santa fe & mineral every 15 minutes or sodepending on the time of day. fares $1. 25 for all stops between downtown and hampden ave and $2. 50 for any trip further south than that. bicycles

the passage, the underlined word“pass”in paragraph 1 may refer to _ . a. the ticket for entering or leaving the bus stationb. the book for 10 ticket coupon or for free chargec. a long time ticket for admitting a passenger to a busd. the book containing all the service information【解析】选c。词义猜测题。由第一段“all monthly passes. . . ”可知实际上指的是月票, 故pass在文中应当是指车票, 故选c项。23. the biggest advantage of the rtd bus

乘客可以将自行车带到轻轨火车上去, 故选d项。根据上文, 司机是不允许帮助乘客搬动或卸下自行车的, 故a、b两项不对; 在高峰时间车上不得装载自行车, 故c项不对。24. from the passage, we can infer that _ . a. many people turn to riding bikes during rush hoursb. many people prefer sitting on wheelchairs on busesc. it takes 15 minutes to go to santa fe & mineral from 30th & downing streetsd. the fare for the trip from downing streets to hampden ave is $1. 25【解析】选a。推理判断题。由文章的内容可知, 在高峰时间一般是不允许将自行车带到汽车或火车上的, 那么更多的人就会改骑自行车, 故选a项。轮椅并不是任何人都可以坐的, 故b项错误; 由第二段的内容可知, 从30th & downing streets到santa fe & mineral的火车大约每15分钟一班, 并不是坐车15分钟就到了, 故c项错误; d项不能从原文中得到答案。bon tuesday, official chinese media said that 9, 500 kilometers of railway lines will cross the region of 100 million peopleawkwardly called jing-jin-jiby 2020. under the plan, residents of the two-city, one-province urban jungle will be able to travel between major centers by rail in just 60 minutes. that should be good news to beijings commuters(通勤者), many of whom use private cars to get to work giving rise to some of the worst traffic congestion in the world. every workday in 2013, traffic jams in the city lasted one hour and 50 minutes on average, up 25 minutes from the year-earlier period. during vacation periods, traffic jams can sometimes be even worse as many people take to the roads to escape the capital. in the recent may day holiday, a traffic jam of 55 kilometers in length formed on one of the highways leaving beijing, according to the website of state-controlled china radio international. for now there appears to be no sign of a let-up in chinese desire to own a car. last year almost 18 million passenger cars were sold in the country, making it the worlds largest market. consultancy ihs automotive forecasts that figure to grow by just over 10% this year. experts say poor urban planning is also at fault and say cities like beijing put too much stress on building infrastructure(基础设施)and not enough on integrating(整合)different transport modes such as rail and road or building up public transportation systems. still, beijing city planners increased attention to suburban rail offers some hope that life in what combined would be the worlds largest city might be about to get a little easier. 【语篇概述】本文介绍了到2020年, 拥有1亿人口的京津冀将形成9 500千米的铁路网。根据这一计划, 这两市一省的居民坐火车只需60分钟就能完成京津冀主要中心之间的穿行。25. how do most of beijings commuters go to work now?a. by train. b. by bus. c. by plane.

by insects hard outer shells. the materials inventors said it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. the material, made from shrimp(虾)shells and proteins produced from silk, is called“shrilk”. it is thin, clear, flexible and strong. a major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. plastics toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. decades later, however, plastics very durability(耐用性)is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. what is the point of making something that lasts 1, 000 years?shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料), and so will enrich the soil. shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. that makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible. work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. the inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so theyre exploring ways to use it in wet environments. theyre also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. theyre even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties. 【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了一种新型材料shrilk。由于其低成本、环保等诸多优点, 有望成为塑料的替代品。29. paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilks. a. remarkable designb. interesting namec. major featuresd. basic

concern about plastic?a. using it properly. b. producing it cheaply. c. developing its properties quickly. d. evaluating its contributions fairly. 【解析】选a。细节理解题。由第二段中“. . . plastics very durability is

conditions. c. making shrilk out of used household goods. d. improving shrilks flexibility for medical purposes. 【解析】选b。细节理解题。由文章最后一段前两句“work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. the inventors said the
