The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicagos expressways for each one hundred million miles travelled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6.Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”. Systems like Chicagos are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston. “Chicago has taken the lead,” says New York Citys traffic director, and he adds, “We are far behind.”1What would be the best title for this text?AComputerized Traffic Control SystemBRush Periods Getting LongerCThe Nations Busiest RoadDTraffic Jams in Chicago2How does the controller follow Chicagos traffic?ABy learning how to use a computer.BBy waiting for the red light to turn to green.CBy watching the sensors built into expressways.DBy looking at a set of lights on the map in the control room.3The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.Aa truck which needs repairingBa truck doing repairs on the roadCAustin AvenueDa red light4The system in Chicago _.Ais really effectiveBis actually of very little useCwill be sent to Los AngelesDis looked down upon by New Yorks traffic director三、翻译。1站在那边，你就能够很好地看到这幅油画了。(祈使句and陈述句)_2恐怕我不会允许你做这样的傻事。(permit)_3她拄着拐杖四处走动。(get around)_4我们的新办公楼尚在建造中。(under construction)_5他们对你的建议有什么反应？(react)_答案与解析一、完成句子。1. solution 2. to explore 3. destination 4. permitted 5. react6. construction 7. display 8. limited 9. impressive 10. convenient二、阅读理解。1-4 ACBA1.
