All around the world, people are working hard to make theircites safer and more pleasant for pedestrians (行人). Cities havepainted crosswalks on their streets, made streets narrower, put in trafficlights and speed bumps (减速带) and madeplans to help more kids walk or bike to school.
Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia,named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simplemessage . Kids playedthere, and neighbors stopped there to talk.
But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stayinside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contactwith our neighbors . People needto take back their streets. Engwicht travels around the world, helping peoplethink differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. . He has workedin neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.
While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned how neighbors inthe city of Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on theirstreet. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the street. . When thepolice arrived, they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Sooncity officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and“calm”thetraffic.
Engwicht says we should think about streets as our “outdoorliving room”.
In the future, streets will be safe places for children again,and our neighbors will become our friends.
a.Cars andpedestrians crowded the street.
b.Calming thetraffic is just the beginning.
c.Cars couldstill pass, but they had to drive slowly.
d.He says thatin the past, streets belonged to everybody.
e.Itshard to take measures to solve the traffic problems.
f.Besides hisbooks and articles, he gives many speeches.
g. Engwicht says that weshould use streets for more than just transportation.

【答案】d;g;f;c;b
【解析】本文属于记叙文,现在的街道主要起交通的作用,但以前的街道不仅仅是行车,而且还是人们交流的地方。本文中介绍了人们努力让街道回归最初的作用。
(1)D 根据横线后两句Kidsplayed there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.可知孩子在街上玩耍,邻居在街上聊天。再根据第三段第一句Butnow, streets are just for cars and trucks.现在的街道是车辆的天下。那么以前的街道就是大家的。故D正确。
(2)G 根据横线前一句Peoplestay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we losecontact with our neighbors.人们待在家里摆脱噪音和危险的交通,于是我们和邻居失去了联系。我们要更多的使用街道与邻居朋友进行交流。再根据横线后一句Peopleneed to take back their streets.人们需要回到街上去。说明应该增加街道的功能。故G项正确。
(3)F 根据横线前句Engwichttravels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians,streets, and neighborhoods.他四处奔走宣传,要求人们不仅仅把街道当成交通的工具,而应该发挥更多的作用。本句继续解释她的努力,所以F项“Besides his books and articles, hegives many speeches.除了书之外,他还发表了很多演讲。”与上下文一致。
(4)C 根据横线前一句Theyput old couches, tables, and planters in the street.叙述荷兰人把旧家具放在路上,减慢车速以增加道路的安全性。所以C项“Cars could still pass, but they hadto drive slowly.汽车仍然可以通过,但是要慢点开”与上下文一致。
(5)B 根据后一句Inthe future, streets will be safe places for children again, and our neighborswill become our friends.未来街道将成为孩子们更安全的地方,邻居们会再次成为朋友。说明前面一段最后一句“.......tomake cars slow down, and“calm”the traffic.”中的calmthe traffic只是刚刚开始。故B正确。

【题目】阅读理解
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
(1)What is the passage mainly about?
A.Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B.The Internet is influencing young Britions' career choice.
C.The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D.Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
(2)Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A.Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B.There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C.The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D.Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
(3)What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A.Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B.A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C.People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D.Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
(4)What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A.Learn from others.
B.Become an online hit.
C.Hold running races.
D.Mix jobs with hobbies.

Dear Mandy,
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true. I work really hard, often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard, and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair! The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad,all he said was, “You mustn't waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons!” I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours,
Lisa

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
The Price of Success
One problem for schools is that many students do not want to study hard. As a result, they perform (表现) poorly in their classes. This is especially true in the United States, where average scores for math and science are lower than in many other countries. In recent years, schools and charities have been looking for ways to help students get better grades in these subjects. An organization called the LMD Foundation introduced a program called Learn and Earn recently.
In the program, money was used to get a group of students to study harder in math and science. In addition to the normal school day, they went to after-school classes for four hours each week. The students were paid eight dollars for each hour of after-school class. By the end of the year, the students in the program had higher grades than a similar group of students who had not taken part.
Not everyone thinks that this is a good idea, though. TV reporter John Tulenko studied data (数据) from a similar program. He found that students' grades went back down when they stopped getting paid. Many people are worried about this. They think that the students study because they want money, not because they enjoy learning. Also, some people believe that these types of programs are a bad idea because it is a large part of a teacher's job to get students to study. If students are given money, some teachers might stop trying to do this.
However, others believe that these learning programs can be helpful for students from poor families. Many of these students do part-time jobs after school, and some even quit school at a young age to work. Some do this to help get money for their families. Others feel that they can learn more by working than by going to school. Programs like Learn and Earn let these students stay in school and still make money.
(1)What is true about many students in the United States?
A.They are not allowed to receive help from organizations.
B.They study more than students in other countries.
C.They are doing poorly in math and science.
D.They do not help their classmates get better grades.
(2)Students in the Learn and Earn program ________.
A.were asked to help other students with poor grades
B.were given money if their grades went up
C.were made to go to school during summer vacation
D.were paid to go to extra classes after school
(3)Why do some people think that programs like Learn and Earn are a bad idea?
A.Students' grades only improve a little during the program.
B.Students stop studying when they are in the program.
C.Teachers might stop trying to do a big part of their job.
D.Teachers have started giving low grades to save money.
