A
Car free neighborhoods exist all over Europe.A quarter of households in Britain live without cars.Vauban in Germany is one of the largest car free neighborhoods in Europe.If you live in the district,you are required to confirm once a year that you do not own a car—or,if you do own one,you must buy a space in a multi storey car park on the edge(边缘)of the district.
Vehicles in most of the European car free areas are physically
prevented from entering the streets where people live.Exceptions are made
for emergency vehicles and removal vans(搬家卡车)but not for normal
deliveries.A few parking spaces nearby are available to buy (usually around
one space for every five homes)and a few are reserved for car club
vehicles.Cycling is a vital means of transport.
Car free areas of this kind exist in Amsterdam,Vienna,Hamburg and so on.There is even a small one in Edinburgh.
There is another form of car free development.Recently we have overlooked its potential.Most pedestrianised(步行的)city or neighborhood centers in Britain are almost entirely commercial.But a few farsighted councils have brought back housing and residents(居民),without cars or parking,into city centers that would otherwise be deserted after 6 pm.
Car free UK was set up to improve Europeanstyle car free development in this country.We are not anti car,but pro choice(主张人工流产合法的).We have recently run public meetings in London to set up a new car free association for London,which is beginning to look at areas of the city from which traffic could be removed.We know considerable potential demand exists for traffic free housing in London,and probably in a number of other major cities.
1.Vehicles can only enter the car free areas if ________.
A.they come for special reasons
B.they are proved to be up to standard
C.they own a parking space nearby
D.they are permitted by the residents
2.If you live in the district,you have to ________.
A.leave your car at the edge of the district
B.avoid driving a car except in emergency
C.let people know every year that you do not own a car
D.confirm that you haven't driven a car for a whole year
3.We learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A.car free areas have not been set up in London
B.it's still difficult to promote car free development in London
C.traffic free housing in London is in great demand
D.traffic is a big problem in car free areas
4.The author of the passage is probably ________.
A.a resident of a car free area
B.a promotor of car free areas
C.a resident who wants to move into a car free area
D.a reporter covering news about car free development

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates.The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970,366 of the participants said they were vegetarians—although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106,compared with 101
for nonvegetarians;while female vegetarians averaged 104,compared with
99 for non vegetarians.There was no difference in the IQ scores between
strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported
eating fish or chicken.
Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class,but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female,to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non vegetarians.However,these differences were not reflected in their annual income,which was similar to that of non vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said,“The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults,together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health,may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.”
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,“It_is_like_the_chicken_and_egg.Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?”
5.What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?
A.Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
B.Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
C.Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
D.Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
6.It was found in the research that ________.
A.most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out B.vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians C.female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non vegetarians D.vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non vegetarians
7.Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n) ________ way.
A.doubtful B.favorable
C.negative D.objective
8.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.
B.The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.
C.The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.
D.The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.
9.What's the best title for the text?
A.Get more IQ points!
B.Be a vegetarian,please!
C.Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
D.A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian
详解答案
Ⅰ.
2.选C 根据后面的内容可知,我不再将自己当成是宇宙的中心,即不再以自我为中心。
3.选B 结合上下文尤其是后面句子中的marriage vows可知,B项正确,即我是丈夫的好朋友。
4.选A mean意思是“表示……的意思”,即我努力实践自己和丈夫的结婚誓约。
5.选D 承接前面的I am a good friend to my friends可知此处为省略用法,即they are good friends to me。
6.选C 根据后面的A real life可知,这里应该选life。
7.选 A 根据后面的the bigger paycheck,the larger house可知此处应指工作职位的提升,用promotion。
真正的生活,不是对下一次的晋升、更高工资和更大房子的期望。
8.选D 根据本句后面的内容,尤其是Find people you love,and who love you可知,真正的生活里不只有你,还有你爱的人和爱你的人。
因此alone最恰当。
9.选D 根据后面的it is work和空前的not可知空处的内容与work相反,故D项正确。
leisure 意思是“休闲”,其他选项不合语境。
10.选A pick up意思是“拿起”。
拿起电话(联系他们吧)。
11.选D 这里的that引导的从句和前面一个that引导的从句是并列的宾语从句,作realize的宾语,不可省略,故答案为D。
12.选A waste“浪费,白费”,常指浪费生命、时间、金钱等。
13.选B instead of意思是“(是……)而不是……”,此处表示人很容易生存而不是真正地生活着。
14.选C 根据后面的if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all和本段最后一句中的hardest可知,发生的一定是很不好的事情。
其他选项不合语境。
15.选D lesson意思是“教训,经验”,即从今天看来,那是我受到的最大的教训。
16.选B 与后面的not the destination相对应,即我学会喜欢旅程,而不是终点。
17.选A this指代后面紧接着要说的话。
18.选C 根据deadly“致命的”可知,选illness恰当。
19.选C as表示“正如”。
因为如果按照生活原本的样子来生活你就会活得快乐,充满激情。
20.选D passion意思是“热情,激情”,即快乐地、充满热情地生活。
其他选项delight“高兴”,与前面的joy意义重复;sorrow“难过”,anxiety“焦虑”,均不合语境。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读:本文介绍欧洲尤其是伦敦“无车区”的现状及发展。
1.选A 细节理解题。
从文章第二段第二句可知,一般的车辆不允许进入“无车区”,除非是急救车或搬家公司的车。
2.选C 细节理解题。
文章第一段最后一句说明,如果你居住在“无车区”,必须每年报告一次,证明你没有车。
3.选C 推理判断题。
文章最后一段说明,在伦敦,人们对“无车区”的住房具有很大的需求。
4.选B 推理判断题。
文章最后一段作者说“我们”开会研究在伦敦推行欧洲模式的“无车区”,说明作者是一个“无车区”的组织者或推广者。
语篇解读:研究表明,素食和高智商有一定的关系。
5.选A 细节理解题。
根据第一段中的“people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10”可知A项正确。
根据“it could explain why...”可知这一结果可帮助解释B项中的现象,但B项并非这次研究的结果。
故本题选A。
6.选B 细节理解题。
根据第三段中的“There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken”可知答案。
7.选D 推理判断题。
根据第六段可知Catharine Gale只是客观地讲述研究结果,并没有表示自己的立场。
故选D项。
8.选C 推理判断题。
文章最后一句的意思是:人们成为素食者是因为他们智商高还是因为他们足够聪明而更注意健康问题?由此可见Dr Frankie Phillips认为素食和高智商的因果关系尚未明确,就像弄不清楚是因为有蛋才有鸡,还是因为有鸡才有蛋一样。
故C项正确。
9.选D 标题概括题。
本文介绍了一项研究结果:素食与高智商有关,故D项正确。
作者并未提出建议,所以A、B两项错误;文章中虽然提到了心脏病,但不是文章的主旨,故C项错误。
