第5题：
Californian Michael Schwabe said goodbye to the gas pump two years ago．He leased an electric car．Schwabe says he gets more out of driving an electric car than just a charge.
"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air,it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road."
On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars．By 2003,ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions．This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time.
Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says,"The technology(for zero emissions)isn't here yet;it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience."
Auto makers blame it on the batteries．Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles．However,some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge．Batteries are expensive．Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.
Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says,"The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so,so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off."
Right now the California Air Resources Board requires that a percentage of new cars sold should be free of emissions．What is that percentage?A.1%．
B.5%．
C.10%．
D.100%.答案：C解析：参见第三段：加利福尼亚州要求到2003年，加州的道路上应有l0%的新车是不排放污染气体的。 -
第6题：
Text 4 Visiting Oxford Street,a rwd fiUing wilh tatty shop,and overcrowded with people,is plainly a trial.Less plainly,levels of nitrogen dioxide（NO2）,a noxious gas,have been found to be around three times higher there Lhan the legal limit.In 2013 the annual mean concentration of N02 0n the street was one of the highest levels found anywhere in Europe.British air is far cleaner than it was a few decades ago.Fewer people use coal-burning stoves;old industrial plants have been decommissioned.But since 2009 levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter,coarse or fine particles that are linked to lung cancer and asthma,have fallen more slowly.The exact iiumber of deaths caused by dirty air is unknown.But in 2010 a govemment advisory group estimated that removing man-made fine particulate matter from the atmosphere woulcl in crease life expeclancy for ihose born in 2008 by an average of six months.Much of the slowdown is the result of fumes from diesel cars,which were championed by successive governments because they use less fuel and thus produce less carbon dioxide than petrol cars.In 2001 0nly 14%0f all cars ran on diesel;by 2013 the proportion had increased t0 35%.（Greener"hybrid"and elecLric cars have increased nine fold since 2006,but account for just 0.5%of the entire fleet.）Second-hand cars are particularly noxious,but even newer ones have not been as clean as hoped.Many cars that let out few pollutants in tests procluced more on the roads.Government's hesitation has not helped.Part of the problem is that several departmenLs are responsible for air pollution.This means nobody has taken a lead on it,complains Joan Walley,a Labour MP who chairs an environmental committee that has released a series of damning reports.And few politicians are keen to fire drivers.However,some improvements have been made.In 2008 a"low-enussion zone"was created in London,which targets large vans and coaches.A smaller"uhra low-enussion zone"has been proposed for 2020,which would charge all vehicles that are not of a certain standard 12.50 pounds a day.European Comnussion fines for breaching limits may encourage cities to do more.But oLher countries are more ambitious:60 such zones exist in Germany,targeting private cars as well as vans.In December Anne Hidalgo,the mayor of Paris,announced that she wanted to ban diesel cars by 2020.
Successive governments have advocatecl diesel cars becduse______A.they are much cheaper than pelrol cars
B.they use less fuel and save more money
C.they produce less carbon dioxide than all cars答案：C解析：细节题。定位到第三段。根据successive govemments，diesel cars等关键词定位到该段首句：Much of the slowdown is the result of fumes from diesel cars,which were championed by successive governments because they use less fuel and thus produce less carbon dioxide than petrol cars.其中，champion表示“拥护，支持”，等于题干的advocate“主张．拥护”。而答案句来自because-句。选项[A]they are much cheaper than petrol cars“柴油汽车比汽油汽车更便宜”；其中much cheaper纯属无中生有，故排除。[B]they use less ruel and save more money“柴油汽车耗用燃料更少且更省钱”；后半句的save more money也是无中生有。[C]they are more envIronmentally friendly“柴油汽车更加环保”；该项与原文produce less carbon dioxide“产生更少二氧化碳”是同义替换。[D]they produce less carbon dioxidelhan all cars“柴油汽车比所有汽车产生更少的二氧化碳”；其中all-词过于绝对，下文明确提到greener hybrid and electric cars“更加绿色环保的混动汽车和电动汽车”，可见该项表达是错误的。综上，本题答案为[C]。 -

The scale of the obesity epidemic is such that the world needs a global pact on the best ways to tackle it. At present, according to Professor Philip James, an expert on nutrition, obese children outnumber the malnourished by two to one. This worldwide weight gain is sparking a marked rise in some diseases—the number of people with type two diabetes is expected to double to 366 million by 2030. According to Professor James, there is no point in blaming individuals for being overweight—we need real political leadership to change the environment that is rapidly making the world fat. The fat content of food needs to be labelled clearly, advertisers must be prevented from targeting children and governments must encourage people to get out of their cars.
Q: Which of the following ways of losing weight is mentioned in the news item? -

问答题Cars have become household in China. It brings convenience and pollution at the same time. Write a composition of no fewer than 120 words entitled “Cars—a Must in China?”based on the previous opinions and your own one. Now write the composition on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
Cars—a Must in China?With the living standard increasing rapidly, more and more people own private cars in China now. However, does cars a must in China?
Surly, cars bring us many advantages. It’s much more convenient to have a car for it allows us to go wherever we want at any time we like efficiently. At the same time, owing a car gives us a sense of achievement. However, cars do have their demerits. They are the main source of air pollution and traffic jam in the city. Meanwhile, they are big consumers of fuel, our limited and precious resource.
Weighing up the pros and cons, I don’t think car is a must in China. We can get the same convenience by bus, subways and bikes as well, which are much cheaper.解析： 暂无解析 -

第14题：
Motor vehicles powered by the internal combustion engines are responsible for over 80 percent of the deadly carbon monoxide as well as the cancer-causing substances in the air. Eighty-nine percent of the vehicles on the road in Massachusetts are privately owned and are often operated with only one person in the car. If people would use public transportation instead of their cars, air pollution levels could be significantly lowered. Thirty percent of the land in downtown Boston is devoted to cars. Where there are garages, there could be gardens. Where there are highways, there should be homes and places to work and play. Studies show that people today show a greater hearing loss with age than ever before. Much of this is due to car-horns, loud engines and general traffic noise.
The cost of a personal car is high to the individual. The average person pays about $2,000 per car per year in gasoline, insurance, taxes, and maintenance. But for society as a whole, personal cars are a luxury we cannot afford. We pay in death from auto accidents, in poor health from air pollution, in loss of hearing from noise pollution, and in the destruction of our cities by the ever-increasing number of highways.
1、It is ____ that are the main cause of the air pollution in Boston.
A、vehicles in general
B、the public transportation systems
C、carbon monoxides
D、personal motor vehicles
2、The writer’s purpose in writing this article is to _____.
A、remind people of the danger of air pollution
B、warn people of the danger of accidents
C、urge people to use private cars as less as possible
D、ask the Boston government to build more homes and gardens
3、According to the last paragraph, ______.
A、the cost of personal cars is high to the individuals but not to the society
B、an average car costs about $2,000 inBoston
C、personal cars are so expensive that most people cannot afford
D、society as a whole suffers much from the ever-increasing number of cars
4、It is implied but not stated that ______.
A、garages, highways and parking areas occupy nearly one third of the total Boston downtown area.
B、because of highways, people in Boston have no more homes and places to live, work and play.
C、C garages have replaced most of the gardens in Boston
D、Boston is the most seriously polluted city in the U.S.

A Ride in a Cable-car
A ride in a cable-car is one of the exciting and enjoyable experiences a child can have.In
Switzerland,which is the home of the cable-car,it is used mostly to take tourists up the slope of a mountain,to a restaurant from which one can have a bird-eye view of the surrounding country, or to a top of a ski-run,from which,in winter,skiers glide down the snow covered the slope on skis .In Singapore,however,the cable-car takes one from the summit of a hill on the main island to a low hill on Sentosa,a resort island just off the southern coast.
The cable-car is really a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air.
It moves along the cable with other cars on pulleys,the wheels of which are turned by electric motors. The cars are painted in eye-catching colours and spaced at regular intervals.Each car can seat up six persons.After the passengers have entered a car,they are locked in from outside by an attendant,they have no control over the movement of the car.
Before long,the passengers get a breath-taking view through the glass windows of the modern city,the bustling harbour,and the several islands off the coast. The car is suspended so high in the air that slips on the sea look like small boats,and boats like toys.On a clear day,both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue.
In contrast to the fast-moving traffic on the ground,the cars in the air move in a leisurely manner,allowing passengers more than enough time to take in the scenery during the brief trip to the island of Sentosa.After a few hours on Sentosa,it will be time again to take a cable-car back to Mount Faber. The return journey is no less exciting than the outward trip.Which of the following about the cable-cars is true?
A: The cars move along the steel cable.
B: The cars are operated by a driver.
C: The cars are controlled by the passengers.
D: The cars move on wheels.答案：A解析：选项A、B和D所涉及的情况都在瑞士，这在第一段可以看到。唯有C选项谈新加坡的情况，所以选项C是正确答案。
缆车是由马达带动的，没有驾驶员和轮子，也不受乘客控制。根据文中提示“The cable-car is really a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air.”所以正确答案是A。
从上下来看，乘客所看到的惊险景色是因为“The car is suspended so high in the air that ships on the sea look like small boats , and boats like toys.”所以答案选B。
旅程虽短，但是“The cars in the air move in a leisurely manner, allowing passengers more than enough time to take in the scenery”，所以答案应该选A。
no less than意为“不比……少”,“和……一样”，所以正确答案应该选C。 -

Car Crime
1. A million motorists leave their cars filled up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition every day.The cars are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel.The Automobile Associ-ation(AA)has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes and some-times longer as drivers buy drinks,sweets,cigarettes and other consumer items.With payment of credit cards becoming more and more common,it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes,providing the car theft with a golden opportunity.
2. For more than ten years there has been a big rise in car crime than in most other types of crimes .An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into or stolen in the UK.Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offenses with no signs that the trend is slowing down.
3. Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft,almost 90 percent of car theft is committed by the opportunists.Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness.The AA recommends locking up whenever you leave the car and for however short a period.A partially open sunroof or window is a further come-on to thieves.
4. There are many other traps to avoid.The AA has found little awareness among drivers about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots-ust the places thieves' love.The AA advises drives to park in places with people around-thieves don't like audiences.Most car thefts should be blamed on______.
A: the carelessness of the drivers
B: increase in the number of cars stolen
C: non-professional thieves
D: lack of parking space
E: safe parking spots
F: professional thieves答案：A解析：该段最后一句（总结句）提到司机的离车不锁车门给盔车造成很好的机会。
第二段段首句的含义为“近十多年来，汽车犯罪比其他犯罪有一个大的增长。”而B句的含义为“汽车盗窃的上升”，此句义与该段段首句的含义吻合。因此，B是合适的选择。
第三段段首句的含义为“尽管参与汽车犯罪中有职业的罪犯，但90％的汽车盗窃是由抓住机会盗窃的人干的。”而选项C中就包含了opportunity这一线索词，因此C是合适的选择。
第四段段首句的含义为“有许多其他的陷阱需要避免。”选项A说“安全停放车辆”，选项D说“反盗窃的组织”，而很容易就能在第四段中发现多处parking这样的词，依据此判断A是合适的选择。
to blame… on…含义为“把……归罪于……”，此问题句的语义为“大多数的汽车犯罪应归罪于什么”，根据做前面的题所了解的信息可知司机的不小心是诱因，所以答案是A。
在选项B、C、D、E和F这些备选答案中，big只能与选项B中increase连用，所以答案肯定是B。
此问题句的语义为“大多数的汽车犯罪是由……造成的。”，根据做前面的题所了解的信息可知应该是非职业的罪犯干的，所以答案是C。
