The chances of success are perhaps even less. No law of causality (因果关系) exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But its not unlikely. The odds depend on the length and the rigorousness (严密) of the trip. Some friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束，终止). Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. Ill confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing ones goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone. Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel. 45.Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because _.A. one may lose a friendB. one may suffer financial lossesC. one may be trapped in the dangerous situationD. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriage partner46.When intimate friends travel together, _.A. the trip will hasten their dissolutionB. the trip will make them closer to each otherC. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to their relationshipD. they will make more friends on trip47.It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talked about here is the person _.A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship withB. one can travel with merely for companyC. one can count on for a free travelD. one can learn much from48.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Choosing a travel companion wont lead to the loss of friends.B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.D. Like-minded people should travel together.49.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar ExperiencesB. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky MatterC. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?D. Should One Travel Alone or in Anothers Company?Questions 50 to 54 are based on the same passage or dialog.During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. It was hot that summer: 100 Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30 hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet werent touching the floor. I couldnt blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didnt even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old ladys neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. 50.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.51.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasnt tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldnt move.52.The old lady in the incident described _.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head53.When the incident with old lady happened, _.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writers employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected54.What is the writers attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 55 to 59 are based on the same passage or dialog.Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but todays ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them. As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond. Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks. 55.According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are _.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime56.The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because _.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC. people feel anonymous thereD. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals57.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the inner areas because they _.A. dislike having to travel far to workB. have been forced by circumstances to do soC. dont like the idea of living in the suburbsD. have turned against society58.Architectural changes have affected city life by _.A. scattering long-established communitiesB. giving the individual a say in planningC. forcing people to live on top of each otherD. making people move to the suburbs59.The authors general argument is that urban life would be improved by _.A. moving people out of tower blocksB. restoring old buildingsC. building community centersD. preserving existing social systems Part 7 Fill in the Blanks (with the right preposition or adverb) (Each item: 1) Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with an appropriate preposition or adverb.
