For example ,they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars ,there are accidents.Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow traffic.Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic,they will have less business.And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. it wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends,Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.But Bike for a Better City says that is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.61.According to the passage, bicycles_A. are more convenient than cars B. are safer traffic tools than cars C. are ridden by most people in U.SD. are the solution to some city problems 62.The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favoured by _.A. the city government B. some bike ridersC. people living far from downtown D. some store owners63.“Bicycle lanes ”probably means _.A. narrow passages between buildings for bicyclesB. roads full of bicycles C. special parts of the road for bicycle riders onlyD. roads for bicycles only64.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.B. Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes C. The Central Park is situated in the downtown section of New YorkD. In some cities many people use bikes as they have special lanes65.The best title for this passage is_A. Traffic Crowding in New York City B. Air Pollution in New York City by CarsC. Special Lanes for Passengers D. A Solution to Traffic Problems in New YorkPassage TwoTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it,but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese,as early as the eleventh century B.CWe know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use:it became a symbol of honour and authority.In the Far East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe,the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in cmmon use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages,the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority.By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France,and later on in England.By the eighteenth century,the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time,though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made ,in a whole variety of colours.66.According to this passage ,the umbrella was probably first invented_A.in ancient ChinaB.in ancient EgyptC.in ancient Greece D.in ancient Rome67.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about the umbrella?A.No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrellaB.The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sunC.The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth centuryD.In Europe the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella68.A strange feature of the umbrellas use is that it was used as_A.protection against rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symbol of honour and powerD.a way of womens decoration69.In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain_A.in China B.in ancient EgyptC.in RomeD.in Greece70.This passage talks mainly about_A.when and how the umbrella was invented B.why the umbrella was so popular in Europe C.the development of the umbrellaD.the history and use of the umbrellaPassage ThreeIf you are like most people,your intelligence varies from season to season.You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.A famous scientist concluded that climate and temperature have a definite effcet on our mental abilities,and that cool weather is much more favourable for creative thinking than in summer heat.This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of large members of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.One reason may be that in the spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Autumn is the next best season ,then winter .As for summer,it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.71.Generally speaking,it is far fitter for creative thinking when the weather is _A.sunny and fine B.windy and rainy C.warm and wet D.neither cold nor hot72.According to the passage, your intelligence probably_A.varies from month to month B.remains the same all the year round C.varies with the seasons D.changes without stopping73.A scientist arrived at the conclusion that climate and temperature have_A.nothing to do with mans mental abilitiesB.some effect on the intelligence of most peopleC.a great effect on everyones intelligenceD.no effect on womens intelligence74.One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that_A.all nature has come back to life and becomes activeB.it is followed by summer C.all kinds of flowers are in full bloomD.it is warm and pleasant75.Summer seems to be a good period of the year for_A.travellingB.holidays C.reading or writingD.thinking during the vacation Passage FourHow can a single stamp be worth $16,800?Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collcetors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony (殖民地)of Mauritius,a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue st
