Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams.Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk. At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in Londons Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home.Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, they always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. Instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city, but I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.61. What does the writer say about the car drivers in Tokyo?A) They always drive as fast as they can.B) They are not worried by the time wasted.C) They ignore people walking on the street.D) They often have to stop and drive slowly.62.

Which of the following is the least possible place where this passage was written?A) London. B) Tokyo. C) Oxford. D) Shanghai.Passage TwoQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Every year in Britain, nearly six thousand people are killed on the roads. Although the percentage of casualties (伤亡) is not as large as in some other countries, the government is seriously worried by this problem. They fear that with the increasing number of vehicles coming on to the roads each year the total number of casualties will also continue to grow. One of the greatest problems in Britain is the lack of space. It is extremely difficult, especially in the cities, to obtain any extra land in order to improve existing roads and the acquiring of sufficient land on which to build new roads often seems nearly impossible.In spite of all the difficulties, however, improvements are being made, although motorists and pedestrians (行人) are still not satisfied with the rate of progress particularly when they think of the taxes they have to pay!It remains true, however, that the standards of safety on the road will not be improved simply by improving the roads. The attitude of the users of the road is the most important factor in improving road safety. This is why the government and local authorities devote time and resources to promoting the idea of Safety First. Broadcasts on the radio, special Safety First weeks are some of the means employed.It is probably true to say that the British motorists are as careful as most others in the world. (The same is not, perhaps, true of the pedestrians, who are rather spoiled.) Even so, their standards must be raised considerably higher if the country is to succeed in its attempt to Keep Death off the Road.66. Why is the British government worried by road safety?A) Because more cars will be produced in the future.B) Because there will be more casualties in the future.C) Because more vehicles will be damaged on the roads.D) Because Britain suffers more casualties than other countries.67. What are the improvements mentioned in the second paragraph?A) People do not have to pay high taxes.B) More and better roads are being built.C) People are less worried by the road conditions.D) Sufficient land for new roads in the cities has been found.68. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) Road users should be responsible for the road safety.B) Road improvement is more important than the attitude of road users.C) Certain time periods are set specially for promoting road safety every year.D) The government and local authorities are seriously concerned with road safety.69. What is the writers attitude towards the people walking on the streets?A) Friendly. B) Critical. C) Positive. D) Casual.70. What is the writers opinion on the British motorists road behavior?A) It is troublesome. B) It is quite satisfactory.C) It needs to be improved. D) It is better than that in other countries.Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Most people are unaware of the fact that a new illness has developed among subway users.Called subway syndrome (地铁综合征), it causes people to turn pale and cold and even to faint. They complain of sharp chest pains and disgust, and rush to hospital emergency rooms, in the belief that they are about to die of a heart attack. Hearing that their heart attack is only a case of nerves makes them feel better.What makes people get sick on subways? One is that they rush off to work in the morning without having eaten a proper breakfast. That makes them feel weak. A second ca
