阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。. Which of the following statements is TRUE about a traditional family in Britain twenty years
ago?
B
Don’t drive your kids to school. Let them ride a bike to school.
In England 8.3 million children travel to school every day. It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%), although one in three children would actually like to.
Experts say that to stay healthy, children need at least one hour of moderate (适度的) exercise every day. But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that. One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school.
Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes, ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car, and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills. Also, for many children, riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car.
Most parents know the benefits (益处). Then what’s stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike? Safety is the number one worry for them. But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.
When you decide to buy a bike, you should be aware(意识到) that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous. Don’t try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”. Get the right size in good working order. Generally, 20-inch wheels are on bikes for 5-8 year olds; 24-inch wheels are for 9-11 year olds; 26-inch wheels are suitable for those over 11, and some older children should even take bikes with 28-inch wheels, but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.
45. This passage is mainly written for ________.
A. teachers whose students have asked their parents to drive them to school
B. children who have asked their parents to drive them to school
C. parents who drive their children to school
D. parents who drive to work
46. Which of the following benefits of cycling to school is NOT mentioned in the passage?
C
Lilian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age — 73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lilian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lilian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.
Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again. She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age is the sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as flexible(易适应的) as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting stiff(僵硬). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood and gave her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.
49. The difference between Lilian and her classmates is that
.
A. she works harder at her lessons
B. she is eager to graduate from college

51. The writer wrote the passage in order to show us that ________.
A. a friend in need is a friend indeed
B. one is never too old to learn
C. knowledge is power
D. education is of great importance
52. Lilian could get a higher education when she was old because ________.
A. she borrowed money from the bank
B. her husband and children helped her
C. her classmates encouraged her to get it
D. the reason isn’t mentioned in the passage
D
As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without many living things.
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms (生物体) to be affected are either plants or plankton (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.

How do you think of the following example? Many Japanese never take the vacations they should enjoy, but with the coming of “Golden Week”, several holidays following one after another in late April and early May, they pour out of the country in the tens of thousands.
So when traveling, whether on business or for pleasure, the first thing to think about are hotels. The kind of hotel you choose is decided according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for a very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites (套房), which include two or more rooms connected together — perhaps a bedroom and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.
57. From the example of many Japanese, we can learn that
.
A. they don’t enjoy taking vacations because it’s too expensive
B. they enjoy touring in “Golden Week” because it consists of several holidays
C. they don’t have vacations unless they go abroad
D. they enjoy staying at home unless they have enough time and money
58. A person’s choice of a particular hotel is made mainly according to
.
A. how much he is willing to pay for a night
B. whether he is traveling on business or for pleasure
C. whether the hotel is in the central part of a city
D. how good the services of the hotel are
59. If the president of a certain country comes, he will most probably
.
A. live in a new hotel
B. stay in a single room of a hotel
C. stay in a double room of a hotel
D. stay in a suite of a modern hotel
60. If a person stays in a modern hotel with the latest comforts for a night,
.
A. he will become poor
B. he will have to pay a lot of money
C. he will have to spend all the money he has in the bank
D. he will have to draw all of his money out of the bank
