    Years ago our cities were full of cars,buses and trucks.Now the streets are completely congested(拥挤的)and it is very difficult to drive a car along them.Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights.What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years?Will enormous(巨大的)motorways be built across them?With-big motorways cutting across them,full of noisy,dirty cars and lorries,our cities are going to be awful places.How can we solve the problem?
    There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars.In 1989,for example,the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment:passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.
    In Stockholm there was another experiment:people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus,trolley bus,train or tram in all the city.
    In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles,and pedestrians are safe there.
    In London there is another experiment:part of the street is for buses only,so the buses can travel fast.There are no cars or taxies in front of them.

    In many cities pedestrians are now much safer because__.

    A.no traffic is allowed on some streets
    B.traffic is computer-controlled
    C.cars move very slowly
    D.only one way streets are open to traffic

    答案:A
    解析:

    单选题
    Passage 1Every day 25 million U.S. children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation's school children are transported to and from school safety.Even though the number of school bus casualties is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done particularly whether seat belts should be mandatory.Proponents of seat belts on school buses-many of them parents and medical organizations argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is those seats belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.Opponents of seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that adhere to the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administrations(NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won't wear seat belts anyway and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.A new Research Council report on school bus safety suggests that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.The report sponsored by the Department of Transportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.The title below which best expresses the idea of the passage is___________.
    A

    Making School Buses Even Safer for Children

    B

    Seat Belts Needed on School Buses

    C

    Alternate Safety Devices and Procedures

    D

    【录音原文】
    Because soot promotes the melting of snow and ice, it may exacerbate the problem of rising seas. The good news is that reducing the amount of soot in the air by installing exhaust filters on diesel trucks and buses and better managing forest fires is probably easier than getting Americans to give up SUVs. Fires are the source of about half the world’s soot.
