A
“We don`t have rush hours any more,” said Charles M.Mclean ,who runs the nation`s busiest road.” We have rush periods, and they keep getting longer and longer.”McLean was describing Chicago`s 235 miles of expressway. But the same might be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of American city life and about the heavy traffic that often blocks them.
In Chicago, a computerized system(系统) has been developed that controls traffic on the city`s seven expressways. Now one man-a controller can follow the movement of Chiago`s traffic by looking at set of lights.
The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile apart. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room.
A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic-cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
“See that red light near Austin Avenue?” the controller asked a visitor.“That`s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffi c has to go around it.”
At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again. “A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,” the controller explained.They can`t speed up as fast as cars.”
The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system and lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago`s expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing.” Systems like Chicago`s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston. “Chicago has taken the lead,” say New York City`s traffic director; and he adds , we are far behind…”
56. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Computerized Traffic Control System
B. Rush Periods Getting Longer
C. The Nation`s Busies Road
D. Sensors on Expressway
57. How does the controller follow Chicago`s traffic?
A. By learning how to use a computer.
B. By waiting for the red light to turn to green.
C. By watching the sensors built into the expressways.
D. By looking at a set of lights on the map in the control room.
58. What color shows that the traffic moves the fastest?
A. Red
B. Yellow
C. Green
D. It`s uncertain
59. The underlined word “it” in the 6th paragraph refers to ______.
A. a truck which needs repairing
B. a truck doing repairs on the road
C. Austin Avenue
D. A red light
60. The system in Chiago______.
A. is really effective
B. is actually of very little use
C. will be sent to Los Angeles
D. is looked down upon by NewYork`s traffic director
B
Mt. Qomolangma was first conquered(征服) in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the first climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain , but not all successful, yet every climber knows the dangers. This doesn`t stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top.
Two such climbers, and two unlucky ones, are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the mountain. A rescue team found him and his friend, but didn`t manage to
bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. .New Zealander Rob Hall, another experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something in common: they were both guides and always took a “tour” of less experienced climbers up the mountain.
There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt. Qomolangma: a sudden change in weather conditions or a wrong turning. Planes will only be sent to rescue if they have been paid for in advance. In spite of all these, there is a business in leading guided tours to the top. Wealthy mountain climbers can now pay $64,000 or more to achieve their aim.
Many people wonder how guides can hope to look after their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive. Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt. Qomolangma, believes that they are safer than other, because the guide can ask a weak climber to turn back at any point if he feels that climbers is a danger to the team.
Whether these expeditions (远征) are safe or not, many climbers feel they have turned Mt. Qomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich people . One truth, however, will always remain: it doesn`t matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt. Qomolangma, the possible result will be death.
61. From the passage we can know________.
A. before 1953 people had tried to reach the mountain top over 750 times.
B. It`s difficult and dangerous to get to the top of Mt. Qomolangma.
C. Only a few climbers become successful
D. Up to now the climbers have conquered the mountain around 750 times
62. In the second paragraph the underlined word “tour” refers to “_________’.
A. trip
B. climb
C. guide
D. group
63. The plane will be sent to ________.
A. rescue the climber in danger without rescue prepaid
B. rescue any climber in danger
C. show the team with its guide the way to the top
D. show the team to the safety

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his course in playwriting at Harvard, joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching composition in New York University.
I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and to make him feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears, of his readiness to quote(引用) in detail(细节) from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his powers of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine-o`clock classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around. He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hestitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colours each student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the
blackboard , spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window. As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the coutrary, was wholly clam as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I`ll remember it all.”
71. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Thomas Wolfe`s teaching work..
B. Thomas Wolfe`s course in playwriting.
C. Thomas Wolfe`s ability of explaining.
D. Thomas wolfe`s genius（天才）
72. What did the author think of Thomas Wolfe?
A. He was not able to do his job.
B. He felt uncomfortable in his work.
C. He was not good at teaching.
D. He was unfamiliar with his students.
73. What is the student`s opinion of Thomas Wolfe?
A. He was a good storyteller.
B. He was willing to protect his students.
C. He was ungrateful.
D. He was easy to get along with.
74. What do we learn about Wolfe from the passage?
A. He tried hard to remember what was in the classroom.
B. He stayed in the classroom for a short time.
C. He quickly drew a picture of Washington Square.
D. He followed the author into the classroom.
75. What can be inferred(推断) from the passage?
A. The author was happy to see the test result.
B. What the students said was hardly true.
C. Wolfe would remember forever what the author had done.
D. Wolfe felt joyful after he had been tested
