Over the years many suggestions have been (1) _ to ease transport difficulties. These include from constructing wider roads and an underground railway system to staggering hours for schools to open and close. Once official report pressed (2) _ for working hours to be spaced out to (3) _ congestion at (4) _ periods. In England and other countries this system is called staggering working hours because many business centers use it. It is (5) _ that greater working efficiency can be achieved, employees are happier because they can arrange (6) _personal working hours, buses and trains can be dispatched at suitable (7) _, and so on. The idea of (8) _ working days follows on from staggering hours. Land in Hong Kong is extremely expensive, yet (9) _ and large offices are empty at weekends and most evenings, too. This appears to be a waste of valuable assets and seems (10) _in a place noted for its business (11) _. (12) _, Saturday and Sunday working is not easy. Church-going and family needs cant be ignored, but it should be remembered that many already work at (13) _ hours. Nurses, firemen, doctors, pilots, TV stars, (14) _, have to come to grips with the problems. It seems reasonable to assume that others could do the same.

Error Correction (10 points)Directions: the passage contains TEN errors. Each indicated line contains a maximum of ONE error. In each case, only ONE word is involved. You should proofread the passage and correct it in a right way.For a wrong word, underline the wrong word and write the correct one in the blank provided at the end of the lineFor a missing word, mark the position of the missing word with a “ ” sign and write the word you believe to be missing in the blank provided at the end of the line.For an unnecessary word, cross out the unnecessary word with a slash “/ ” and put the word in the blank provided at the end of the line. It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horribly. Everybody knows that the nicest men (1) _become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exceptional to (2)_ the rule. Perhaps the situation calls on a Be Kind to (3) _Other Drivers campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It took the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers (4) _to resisting the temptation to revenge when subjected to (5) _uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an action of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of (6) _good will and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgement of politeness is all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. Therefore, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. (7) _Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following up (8) _traffic, when a few second later the road would be clear anyway; (9) _or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The samegoes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways arenot covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams once at time without causing the total blockages that (10) _give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists cant even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-owner-ship explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is hightime for all of us to take this message to heart.IV. Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Passage 1 Once upon a time, in the country of Half Mad , which was cut off from the western end of Europe in prehistoric times to prevent the inhabitants from injuring any but themselves, the King fell ill.As he had always been well spoken of, and had established very kindly relations with his subjects , his illness caused a great increase of worries about his family. All the married women saw in the Queen a wife anxious about her husband, with a sick-bed to provide for. All the men saw in the King a fellow-man suffering as they themselves had suffered or might at any moment have to suffer. For sickness is a great Leveller, and consequently a great breeder of sympathy, unlike that Impostor Death, who gives a pompous eminence to even the humblest.And thus, with sympaythy added to loyalty, the nation was in such a state of concern about the King as had never before arisen within living memory. Naturally , the case being one of dangerous illness , it was to the doctors that the nation turned for help and reassurance.1.

What can we infer from the passage?(A)All of the people in the country loved the king.(B)All of the people in the country disliked the king.(C)All of the people in the country hated the king.(D)All of the people in the country had a prejudice against the king.3.According to the passage (A) sickness is a great lover.(B) sickness is a great enemy.

There was a law that when a man was ill he must on pain of punishment send for his parish priest; but this law had been so long disregarded that only a few specialists in church history knew of its existence. Its place had been taken by a law that when there was sickness in the house the doctor must be sent for, and that if the doctor said that any part of a sick childs body must be cut out its parents must have that done at once whether they approved or not, or else be haled before a magistrate and heavily fined, or should the child have died, committed for trial for having killed it. To such powers as this were added extraordinary privileges. For instance, doctors were licensed to commit murder with impunity, provided they did it either by in such a manner that the victim did not die until he or she had been put to bed. Not only was no inquest held and no indictment brought against the doctor, but he was actually paid for his labor, and sometimes invited to the funeral.6.

The latter ，who was still by temperament ，and a school master by trade，selects a beautiful object ， put it straight out before him and his readers， and accumulates upon it all the learned imagery of a thousand years：Shakespeare glances at it and says something of his own ：it is not our intention to say that， as a describer of the external world ， Milton is inferior； in set description we rather think that he was the better. We only wish to contrast the mode in which the delineation is effected. One is like an artist who dashes off any number of picturesque sketches at any moment； the other like a man who has lived at Rome and has undergone a through training ，and by deliberate and conscious effort， after a long study of the best masters， reduces a few great pictures.”11.

He is generally considered to be the greatest playwright of the English-speaking world in the twentieth century, yet detractors insist that his drama of ideas led to a theatrical dead end and that the ideas themselves b
