Passage A:
Too many cars
have created a lot of
serious problems in
our world. Besides
congestion,
accidents and fast
fuel consumption
are responsible for a
good part of air
pollution in big
cities. All the time,
they are pumping
huge amounts of
waste gases into the
atmosphere. These
gases are very
harmful, causing
disease and even
death. Last winter,
car fumes formed
heavy smog over
Beijing, making the
sky gloomy for
weeks and
deteriorating
people's health.
One possible
solution is to design
and develop clean
cars and clean fuels.
In Tsinghua
University, campus
buses are driven by
electricity. In
Beijing some of the
public buses begin
to run on natural gas,
which does not give
off as much carbon
dioxide as the petrol.
But it may take
decades for the new
models of clean cars
to completely
replace the
traditional ones.
Another solution is
to develop modern
public transportation
systems and restrict
the use of private
cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments. This problem will be solved only with the help of science and technology.
1. Which of the following is not caused by too many cars?
A. fast fuel consumption
B. waste gases
C. traffic accidents
D. drought
2. On the whole, the
elimination of air
pollution needs
______.
A. the efforts from
government
B. the efforts from
the public
C. the efforts from
the environments
D. all of the above
3. Which of the
following is NOT
true according to the
passage?
A. The waste gases
pumped from the
cars are very
harmful, causing
disease and even
death.
B. Last winter, car
fumes formed heavy
smog over Beijing.
C. The new models
of clean cars will
completely replace
the traditional ones.
D. In Beijing some
of the public buses
begin to run on
natural gas.
4. According to the
writer, the problem
on the elimination of
air pollution______.
A. will be solved
only with the help of
science and
technology.
B. has been solved.
C. can’t be solved.
D. will be solved
only with the help of
government.
5. The best title for
this passage would
be _____
A. Cars and
Pollution B.
Environmental
Protection
C. Traffic Accident
D. Buses
D D C A
A
Passage B:
With the
fantastic spur both
in industry and in
economy in China,
the number of
people who own
private cars is on the
rise. Some people
have bought cars of
their own, and
others are planning
to buy cars. But
there have been two
quite different views
on this phenomenon.
Some claim that
there are many
advantages brought
about by cars. First,
the automobile
industry provides
jobs for countless
workers and strong
support for other
industries. Second,
if conditions permit,
owning a car can
make us work more
efficiently. Finally,
life will become
more convenient. A
car allows one to
move freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.
However, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars. They hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems. In the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. Next, private cars contribute to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gained
in comfort and
freedom are
often cancelled out
by the frustration
caused by traffic
jams. The last
problem is the
increasing number
of car accidents that
have killed and will
kill a lot of people in
a friction of a
second.
In my opinion,
although
automobiles have
been playing a vital
part in the daily
activities of our
society, they also
bring us numerous
troubles such as
more serious
environmental
pollution, more
traffic accidents and
more energy
consumption. They
drink up huge
amounts of fuel and
throw out huge
amounts of
pollutants. Traffic
accidents kill
thousands and
thousands of people
each year and
cripple more. Jams
waste our precious
time. Therefore I am
against developing
private cars.
1. Nowadays, the
number of people
who own private
cars is_______.
A. on the rise
B. getting fewer and
fewer
C. just the same as
before D. 10
million
2. Some claim that
the automobile
industry can
______.
A. provide jobs for
countless workers
B. provide strong
support for other
industries
C. make us work
more efficiently
D. all of the above
3. Which of the
following is NOT
true according to the
passage?
A. Some hold that
automobiles will
give rise to a series
of problems.
B. The increasing
number of car
accidents have
killed and will kill a
lot of people in a
friction of a second.
C. Too many cars
will cause a large
volume of
poisonous gas.
D. The private cars
don’t contribute to
traffic congestion
4. What’s the
author’s opinion
about private cars?
A. positive
B. negative
C. neutral
D. no idea
5. The best title for this passage would be _____ A ．Cars
and
Pollution B. Private Cars
C. Traffic Accident

Disadvantages of
Private Cars A D D B

Passage C: Americans like to go out by car. Although more and more Chinese own cars, most Chinese still like to ride bicycles, This is determined by a lot of factors.
As we all know, the bike advances slowly by manpower, but it can be placed wherever
it
is
convenient However, as for the car,
although it can run
fast by engine, it
must be parked at parking places. Most Americans live in the suburb which is far from urban areas and their working places. So
they need cars to go
shopping and go to work. And they also
like traveling far. Thus a car brings them
great
convenience. On the contrary,
most
Chinese live near their working areas and markets. They don't need a car to go to work or go shopping.
I would like to ride a bike, because it costs little and it is easy to use and won't cause
pollution.
1. From the passage,
Americans like to go out ____________. A. by car B. on foot C. by
a
motorbike
D. by a big truck 2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Most Americans live in the suburb which is far from urban areas and their working
places.

convenience. C. Most Chinese live
near
their working areas and markets. D.
All
of
the
Chinese people go out by bike. 3. According to the author, what are the benefits from riding a bike?
A. It costs little.
B. It won ’t cause pollution
C. It causes no traffic
accident
D. A and B. 4. According to the passage, what is the author ’s opinion? A. The author likes to ride a bike. B. The author likes to go out by car. C. The author likes neither car nor bike.
