第2题：
John Preston lives in a flat in north London.He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be closer to his daughter’s family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older.It' s easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing.The agent has had the roof repaired and got the gutter replaced.but at the moment John is not satisfied because the window frames need painting and the garden looks neglected.The agent
had the windows painted two years ago, but the painters didn’t do it very well, so they need doing again.John pays over E 1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it's not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing
His daughter, June, and her husband.Peter, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it.They live in a large seai-detached house further out from the center of London than John but they are still near enough to see hin often.They live in the suburbs with a nice garden where their children play.They noved there four years ago to have aore space.The only drawback is that June s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall they are happy with their decision.When they bought the house a lot needed doing to it and it still does.June says, We have a list of things to do as long as your arm- the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending.The bedrooms need decorating and we haven t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory.we need to fix the gate and repair the path- it looks dreadful when you arrive.”(判断正误)

第16题：
Text l Cycling in London is less pleasant than in many European cities.Main roads teem with lorries;winding back streets are hard Lo navigate.The number of bicycle journeys has nonetheless doubled since 2000.Nationally,just 2qo pedal to work.In Hackney,in London's East End,fully 9%do.But only 2%of women cycle to work in London,compared with 5%of men.Blacks and other ethnic minorities are reluctant to do it,too.Bori6 Johnson,London's mayor,oversaw the introduction of a bike-hiring scheme,which was started by his predecessor but quickly became known as the"Boris bike".He pushed for bright blue cycle paths on some busy roads.But the new cycle highways are far more ambitious and permanent.One will run east-west through the City and the West End.Another will run two miles from Elephant and Castle in the south to Farringdon in north London.Four existinE;routes will also be improved,while around 30 0f the city's busiest junctions wiU be made a bit less dangerous.The new superhighways ought io be much safer than London's existing cycle lanes.A raised pavement will keep cyclists away from cars and lorries.Junctions will be redesigned and some parking bays-including a rew for the disabled-will be removed.Cars will be prevented from turning down certain streets.Similar schemes exist elsewhere:since 2007 around 30 miles of protected cycle lanes have been created in New York.In Amsterdam,where lanes have existed for decades,old people and women are far more inclined to cycle.Greens have long lobbied for cycle paths on the grounds that movin8 people out of cars cuts air poUution.A series of highly publicised accidents,including one involving a newspaper journalist,and several deaths in the city have also put pressure on the mayor to make London safer.And the social transformation of the capital has encouraged officials to smile on cyclists.The population of inner London is rebounding as affluenL folk move in.The new inhabitants want cleaner streets and fewer cars,which are viewed as suburban.Cycling was once a means of transport for the poor.But it has become an imporlant marker of an affluent world city,argues Isabel Dedring,the deputy mayor for transport."There's more pressure on cities to be nice places to live,"she says.
Which of the following is true about Boris Johnson?A.He initiated a bike-hiring scheme called"Boris bike".
B.He made great effort to build infrastrucLure for cycling.
C.He is a man with strong ambition and great perseverance.
D.He supervised the construction of the new cycle highway.答案：B解析：细节题。根据Boris Johnson定位到第二段。[A]He iniliated a bike-hiring scheme called“Bons bike”，“他发起名为‘鲍里斯自行车’的自行车租赁计划。”原文明确指出：…a bike-hiring scheme,which was started by his predecessor but quickly became known as the“Boris bike”，由此可见这个自行车租赁计划的创始人是其前任，而非Boris Johnson本人，故该项错误。[B]He made great effort to build infrastniciure for cycling.”他为建设自行车基础设施作出巨大努力。”原文说：He pushed for bright blue cycle paths on some busy roads.“他积极推进在一些繁忙道路上建设宝蓝色的自行车通道。”其中push for表示“为……努力，奋力争取”，等于该项的made great effort；原文cycle paths=该项infrastructure for cycling。故该项表述正确。[C]He is a man with strong ambiLion and great perseverance.“他是个志向远大、坚持不懈的人。”与该项相关的原文句子是：Bul the new cycle highways are far more ambitious and permanent.原文提到这些新的自行车高速公路更长远、更持久，但并未提到Boris是个什么样的人，故该项错误。[D]He supervised the construction of the new cycle highway.“他监督新自行车高速公路的建设。”原文首句提到：Boris Johnson...oversaw the introduction of a bike．hiring scheme.原文说Boris监督自行车租赁计划的引进，并没有说他监督“新自行车高速公路的建设”，该项属于偷换概念。综上，本题选择[B]。 -
