    题目列表(包括答案和解析)


    D
    After the September 11 terrorist attacks, some high schools in America wanted the students to pledge allegiance（宣誓效忠） to the flag. Is it necessary or not? Let’s see how the kids think of this requirement.
    Lea Mouallem, Marymount High School
    I believe that saying the Pledge of Allegiance is a way of reminding our country that no matter what happens, we are united. I don’t think our president wants us to go and join the army now, but he wants to tell us that we will be able to overcome the disaster as a whole nation that is working together.
    Harry Chin, 15, Culver City High School
    I am not for the Pledge of Allegiance and I am not against the Pledge of Allegiance because I just say it so many times that it loses meaning. I say it every day at school in the second period. It doesn’t mean anything any more.
    David Tran, 15, Warren High School.
    The Pledge of Allegiance is another sign of country. We should have some respect to it. In many schools, we don’t say the Pledge every morning-we just stand up and let the National anthem ring through the silence. We said the Pledge of Allegiance on Sept. 12.
    Danny Maryanor, 16, Santa Monica High School
    I wonder why we were suddenly asked to recite the Pledge when many of us stopped after elementary school; and the Pledge was recited before the play of “Ode to Joy” （欢乐颂）with recorders. This was not to express patriotism（爱国主义）, or even to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11.
    I feel I cannot support a nation that in this time of crisis looks outward for revenge（报复）instead of inward for peace. Perhaps we should think more about our problems.
    68.Saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag first appeared in American schools______
    A．after Sept. 11, 2000     B．before Sept. 11, 2001
    C．on Sept. 11, 2001           D．after Sept. 11, 2001
    69．Who were for the Pledge of Allegiance?
    A．Lea Mouallem; David Tran        B．Harry Chin; Danny Maryanor
    C．Lea Mouallem; Danny Maryanor    D．Harry Chin; David Tran
    70．Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Harry Chin thought the government required them to join the army.
    B．Lea Mouallem thought the Pledge of Allegiance of no meaning.
    C．Danny Maryanor felt the terrorist attacks happened partly because of America’s own problem.
    D．The Pledge of Allegiance is of another country.
    71．According to the passage, it can be imagined that________.
    A．all high school students say yes to the Pledge of Allegiance.
    B．all high school students say no to the Pledge of Allegiance.
    C．all kids don’t agree to the requirement of saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
    D．all high schools will require their students to pledge allegiance to the flag.

           Copenhagen, one of the world’s most bicycle-friendly cities, has begun turning its extensive network of cycle paths into bike highways in an effort to push more commuters (上下班往返的人) to leave their cars at home.

           Considered one of Europe’s two “bicycle capitals” along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become congested.

           Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade thoroughfare (大街) used by around 36,000 cyclists a day. “You have to elbow your way (挤过去) to go forward and some cyclists aren’t always thoughtful,” complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.

           The creation of bike highways “comes right on time”, says Danish Cyclist Federation spokesman Frits Bredal. “Copenhagen’s roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather,” he says.

           If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycle has assumed that role today, Bredal says.

           “It’s a means of transportation used by all social classes, and even politicians ride bikes,” he says.

           It is on crowded Noerrebrogade — the busiest bicycle street in Europe — that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen’s environmentally friendly streets. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four meters on either side of the road, which will itself be reserved for buses only.

           The idea is to make Noerrebrogade “Europe’s great cycling street”, says Andreas Roehl, the Copenhagen city’s bicycle program manager who is also known as “Mister Bike”.

           But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen’s inner city cyclists: He wants to get suburbanites (郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well.

           His goal is to increase the percentage of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 33 percent it is today to more than 50 percent by 2015. Within the city, 55 percent of all commuters already travel by bike.

           Already Copenhagen stands out among other European capitals for its cycling infrastructure, counting more than 390 kilometers of bike paths.

    61. What is the main idea of the passage?

    A、Copenhagen is planning to build bicycle-friendly highways.

    B、Copenhagen is planning to build highways.

    C、Copenhagen is one of Europe’s two “bicycle capitals”.

    D、Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially common in Copenhagen.

    62. What does Lea Bresell think of the present bike traffic on the main Noerrebrogade thoroughfare?

    A、pleasant                                                     B、Terrible

    C、Cyclists are considerate                               D、Bike paths are not made full use of

    63. We can infer that _______.

    A、most of people in Copenhagen can’t afford to buy cars

    B、hiking is very common in Copenhagen

    C、cars will not be allowed to run on the widened Noerrebrogade thoroughfare

    D、Noerrebrogade thoroughfare will be deserted

    64. How do suburban commuters travel to and from the city in Copenhagen at present?

    A、More than half of the suburban commuters travel by bike.

    B、Almost all the suburban commuters take buses.

    C、Few suburban commuters travel by car.

    D、About one third of the suburban commuters travel by bike.

    65. According to the passage, what do you know about Copenhagen?

    A、Copenhagen possibly has the longest among European capitals.

    B、Copenhagen has the longest history among European capitals.

    C、Copenhagen has the largest population among European capitals.

    D、Copenhagen is the biggest in size among European capitals.

         Considered one of Europe's two "bicycle capitals" along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen(哥本哈根)
    counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become
    crowded. Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade road used by
    around 36,000 cyclists a day. "You have to elbow your way in to go forward and some cyclists aren't
    always thoughtful," complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.
         The creation of bike highways "comes right on time", says Danish Cyclist Federation Spokesman
    Frits Bredal. "Copenhagen's roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all
    kinds of weather," he says. "If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycles
    have supposed that role today," Bredal says. "It's a mode of transportation used by all social classes,
    even politicians ride bikes," he says.
         It is on crowded Noerrebrogade-the busiest bicycle street in Europe, according to the cyclist
    association-that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen's environmentally friendly
    roads. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four metres on either side of the road, which itself
    will be reserved for bikes only. The idea is to make Noerrebrogade "Europe's great cycling street", says
    Andreas Roehl, Copenhagen government's bicycle program manager who is also known as "Mr. Bike".
         But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen's inner-city cyclists: He wants to get
    suburbanites(郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well. His goal is to hike the percentage
    of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 37 percent it is today to 50 percent by 2015.
    1.    Why does Copenhagen plan to build the first bike highway?
    A. Because bike highways are environmentally friendly.
    B. Because it's a part of the city's development program.
    C. Because the inner-city commuters urge that it should be built.
    D. Because too many bicycles cause the paths to be crowded.
    2.    Why do people in Copenhagen want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather?
    A. Because the price of petrol has been going up all the time.
    B. Because the bicycle is viewed as the symbol of freedom nowadays.
    C. Because it's hard for people to find parking space in crowded streets.
    D. Because politicians ride bikes and commuters enjoy following them.
    3.    The underline word "mode" in the second paragraph probably means?
    A. fashion                          
    B. improvement
    C. reform                          
    D. law

    Money Matters for students

    GETTING A GRANT（补助）

    Who pays?

    The local education authority （LEA） for the area in which the student is living.

    Who can get this money?

    Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude（排除） some students from overseas.

    SPECIAL CASES

    If a student has worked before going to college:

    A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money-￡155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ￡615 at 29 or more.

    If a student is handicapped:

    LEAs will give up to ￡500 to help meet extra expenses—such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.

    Banking:

    Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts （in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials）. A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by ￡100 or so, and still don’t make charges （though they do charge interest）.

    1．A student from Japan who has been staying in England for a year and intends to go to college in a few months will         .

           A．get money if he is taking a first degree course

           B．be unable to get money from any LEA

           C．get money from any LEA when he has finished his course

           D．have to open a bank account before he gets any money

    2．A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has worked since she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?

           A．None               B．￡ 155           C．￡615               D．￡515

    3．A student who cannot walk has to buy a wheelchair costing ￡750 to go to classes. How much of the cost will he have to pay himself?

           A．￡150             B．￡250            C．￡500              D．￡750

    4．You are a new student. Why may a bank welcome you as a customer?

           A．They know you receive money regularly.

           B．They charge students extra.

           C．They hope you will be rich in the future.

    D．They need students accounts in term-time.

    5．How much do the banks permit the students who open accounts with them to overdraw?

           A．￡ 155            B．￡ 615          C．￡500              D．￡110
