jams(交通拥堵) are really a problem. traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. although its impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.check for traffic jams before you leave. you can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. if the way you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.look for a different road all the time. most traffic jams happen on busy roads. using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic. although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.set your car radio

your journey if necessary.try traveling at different time. most traffic jams usually happen during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. some jobs offer flexible(灵活的) working hours

ever. it was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎). my husband and i stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on monday. local relatives would help dad get home from hospital and look after him. but i wished to be able to let him know that we cared too, even when we werent with him. then i remembered a family tradition when our children were small. when leaving their grandparents home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. they hid notes in cereal(麦片) box, under a hairbrush or next to the phone. for days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these reminders of our love. so as i tidied dads kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, i wrote some notes. “dad, i put the food in the fridge so it wouldnt spoil(变质).” some expressed my love, “dad, i hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks, but one note i hid upstairs under his pillow, “dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. we are so glad!” just like his medicines strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins” would improve his health, too. several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, i asked dad how he was going. he said, “pretty good. i just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”24. we can infer from the text that the writers father _. a. had got the same illness before.b. lived with her family c. asked her to return to workd. felt lonely without her25. the children hid notes in their grandparents home in order to _. a. follow a family tradition b. play jokes on their grandparents c. show their gifts to their grandparents d. make their grandparents feel pleasantly surprised26. after heard what her father said, the

talking with her father. c. the writer tried to comfort her father with love. d. the writer thanked her children for looking after her father.c“have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked jamie taylor of the wave energy group at the university of edinburgh. “there is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said. scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “the wind starts out by making little ripples(涟漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” taylor said. “waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.” when waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机). the turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity. “the resource is huge,” said janet swain of the world watch institute. “we will never run out of wave power.” besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. oceans cover three quarters of the earths surfacethat would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.swain said that wave power still costs too much money. she also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. what is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. “demand for energy to power our tvs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world,” swain said. in the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!28. the writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to .a. test the readers knowledge about wavesb. draw the readers attention to the topicc. show jamie taylors importanced. invite the readers to answer them29. the underlined phrase “picking up” is closest in meaning to . a. starting againb. speeding up c. improving d. gathering30. we can make better use of wave energy if we .a. shorten its journey to thousands of homesb. build more small power stations on the oceansc. reduce the cost of turning it into electric powerd. quicken the steps of producing electricity31. it can be inferred that someday we might not worry about . a. our power supplyb. our boat traffic c. air pollutiond. our supply of sea fishdthey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰). yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. a generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.professor julia twigg, a social policy expert, said, “women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. in the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. it was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly. ”professor twigg analyzed family expending（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the sameand 5 or 6 per cent of spendingthe amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.the professor said, “clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the far east. in the 1960s leeds was the heart of the british fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”fashion designer angela barnard, who runs her own fashion business in london, said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years .she said, “when people see stars such as judi dench and helen mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. older women are much more aware of celebrities. theres also the boom in tv programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. when i started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what i would call ordinary women. my own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago.”32. professor twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _.a. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%b. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%c. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesd. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%33. what can we learn about old women in terms of fashion？a. they are often ignored by fashion designers.b. they are now more easily influenced by stars.c. they are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.d. they are more interested in clothes because of their old age.34. it can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because .a. they get tired of things more quickly b. tv shows teach them how to change their look c. they are in much better shape now d. clothes are much cheaper than before 35. which is the best possible title of the passage?a. age is no barrier for fashion fans b. the more fashionable, the less expensivec. unexpected changes in fashion d.
