The situation had been 42 but he had got caught up in some ugly scenes and the 43 happened just outside the parliament building.Crowds of people rushed out onto the street, and some were 44 the President, and some were against.

Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in drivers education. However,unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license. Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back. Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly. After the student has passed the drivers education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old),they can go to a designated state office to take their drivers test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a drivers license. If the person did well in his or her drivers education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a drivers license.56.In America, the drivers course mentioned above .A. is considered as part of the advanced educationB. is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers licenseC. is carried on at the same time as other coursesD. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools57.To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car .A. has a sign inside it B. has two sets of brakesC. is big enough to hold five persons D. cant run very fast58.We can infer that the students are required to_ in their whole driving practice.A. go out driving for twelve times B. spend at least six hours drivingC. drive for two-hour blocks of time D. get half an hour driving59.Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their drivers license?A.

Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self proved statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the importance of greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people are using these spaces. As to this subject, I shall within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect (方面) only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation far from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.61.The importance of greenspaces in the city environment .A. has been recognizedB. is paid little attention toC. is accepted on the base of scientific proofD. is still unknown62.For many years town and country planning has _.A. brought living areas and places of entertainment close togetherB. separated recreation facilities far from homeC. improved recreative possibilities in the neighborhoodsD. enabled people to reach the best standard of living63.According to the author, greenspaces should be designed .A. to reduce the number of recreative activitiesB. to attract more and more peopleC. for people to use more convenientlyD. for people to do recreative activities at the street door of the house64.The main idea of this passage is that _.A. attention must be paid to the improvement of recreationB. green space facilities should be used better to improve the quality of lifeC. the city environment is providing more recreative activitiesD. we should try our best to raise our living standardCThis is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents.

Rex White knows too many seamens stories to want to add to them. Besides, this happened on land. It happened in Lytham, a town on the River Ribble, near to the place where the river flows into the Irish Sea. The shape of the trees along the Lytham beach road is proof of the great strength of the wind which comes in off the sea. It blows hard across the grass, the car-parks and the open road beside the river, and there is nothing to stop it. Rex White was a ships pilot. It was his job to guide ships up the river, between banks of sand, into the port of Preston. Mr White lived in a village some kilometers from the coast, so he had to drive to Lytham and leave his car in one of the car-parks beside the river. Then he used to row out to the pilot boat, and await the particular ship that it was his duty to guide.Early one morning, Mr White returned to Lytham from a night on duty, to find that he could not start his car. He had driven from his village the evening before, and had left his car in the car-park as usual. He had rowed out to the pilot boat, and gone on board the S.S. Kilkenny, which was on her way from Ireland. Then, in the early hours of the following morning, he had returned to Lytham in the pilot boat, expecting to drive home to a cup of hot chocolate and a warm bed. But no matter what he did, he could not get the engine to start.It was a cold and windy night; there was no one about, and here was no garage open to which he could turn for help. He was just about to give up, and spend the rest of the night on the back seat of the car, when he had a bright idea. He pushed his car round so that it was facing in the direction of the wind, opened all four doors, pushed it along a short way, and then jumped in. The doors acted like sails, and in no time the wind had taken him right out of the car-park, and away down the beach road. When he tried the starter-switch once more, the engine roared to life immediately. All he had to do then was to stop the car and shut the doors. He went to bed later than usual, but he did not go without his cup of hot chocolate. Mr White was not a seaman for nothing.70.We can tell how strong the wind is along the beach road, by_ .A. the way the river flows into the Irish SeaB. the fact that the open road is beside the riverC. looking at the shape of the treesD. remembering that this is a true story71.“There is nothing to stop it” means .A. the wind always blows strongly without stoppingB. there is nothing in its way to break the force of the windC. there is nothing anyone can do to stop the wind blowingD. the cars do not find it easy to stop on the open road72.Because he did not live in Lytham, he had to .A. drive some kilometers to work each dayB. row out some kilometers from the coastC. travel by pilot boat from Preston to LythamD. work during the night and sleep during the dayEPeople can be addicted to different thingse.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的): they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders英才苑feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that the
