解析:

36.A　根據(jù)句意可知這里需要用表示讓步的?連詞?。?

37.C　根據(jù)上下文，該句意思是道路養(yǎng)護(hù)得很好。既然養(yǎng)護(hù)得好，那前提條件應(yīng)該是原來不錯(cuò)，所以選smooth“平坦的”。?

38.B　以although引導(dǎo)的狀語從句談的都是公路好的、有利的方面。那么道路上彎道少是有利的方面。彎道是可數(shù)名詞，所以選few。?

39.D　此題考查名詞意義的區(qū)別。selections意為“選擇”；separations意為“分離，隔開”；divisions意為把整體“分開，分割”；sections指事物的“段，部分”，鐵路的“段”，所以應(yīng)選sections。句意為“彎道少，直線路段多”。?

40.C　做該題應(yīng)考慮到整句的意思。該句的狀語從句談的是公路好的、有利的方面。但后面的語氣一轉(zhuǎn)，意思就變了。所以選enjoyable。?

41.D　考查固定搭配，pass by意為“經(jīng)過”，符合該句的語境。pass to意為“轉(zhuǎn)到”；pass into意為“變成”；pass over意為“忽略”。?

42.B　該句的意思是“這些公路一般都連接大城市中心”。connect正是“連接，相連”的意思。而lead必須與to連用才能表達(dá)這個(gè)意思。?

43.D　這里的意思是“車輛多，交通擁擠”。heavy traffic是“交通擁擠”的意思。?

44.A　該空格所在句子是個(gè)非限制性定語從句，表示的是時(shí)間，所以選關(guān)系副詞when。?

45.C　從語法角度看，這里應(yīng)填副詞�？崭窈蟮年P(guān)聯(lián)詞是always,意思是“總是”。此句意思是“如果你不著急，幾乎總能有另一條路可走”。almost意思是“幾乎，差不多”，符合該句的意思及語境要求。?

46.B　從語法角度看，這里應(yīng)填連詞，引導(dǎo)狀語從句，意思是“如果你不著急”。所以應(yīng)選if。?

47.A　空格后是形容詞new，該空格處應(yīng)填副詞。后面句子中的older是比較級(jí)，那么前面的形容詞new也應(yīng)有比較的意思。所以選relatively。?

50.C　該句的意思是“這些道路，有些是平坦的雙車道，有些則不平坦，蜿蜒經(jīng)過田野”。

51.B　該句的意思是“這些非主干道路可以爬上陡峭的斜坡，沿著懸崖延伸，或又轉(zhuǎn)下可怕的山坡”。從上下文看，爬上陡峭的斜坡必然沿著懸崖延伸，而不沿著大道或小路。?

52.A　lying意思是“坐落”，是lie的現(xiàn)在分詞和動(dòng)名詞形式。?

53.D　從語法角度看，這是個(gè)定語從句，關(guān)系副詞where修飾先行詞places。?

54.C　have a chance是固定詞組，表示“有?機(jī)會(huì)?”。?

55.A　此句的意思是“有機(jī)會(huì)欣賞到人間清新、潔凈的景色”。view意為“景色”。

I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions

Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks,   people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by means of time, not miles. “ How far away is the post office?”

You ask. “Oh,” they answer, “ It’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of gibing you the direction, a Greek will often say, “ follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan think that “ I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

One thing will help you everywhere ---- in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!

The passage mainly tells us that ______________.

       A there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest

       B never carry a map for travel

       C there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world

       D New Yorkers often say, “I have no idea,” but people in Yucatan, Mexico, Never say this

The passage says, “ In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions.” The word “l(fā)andmark” means _______.

A street names                      

B building names

C hotels, markets and bus stops 

D buildings or places are easily recognized

In which place do people tell distance by means of time?

A Japan                             B American Midwest

C Los Angeles, California.              D Greece

Which of the following is wrong?

  A Travelers can learn about people’s customs by asking questions about directions.

B People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions by means of time.

C A person’s body language can help you understand directions.

D People in different places always give directions in the same way: They use street names.

Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.

In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards (回報(bào)) to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.

Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United Sates also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.

It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the

different trends (趨勢(shì)) in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡)?

 

56．From the text we know that the author ___________.

       A．believes that longer working hours is better

       B．prefers shorter working hours to longer ones

       C．says nothing certain about which pattern is better

       D．thinks neither of the patterns is good

57．Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?

       A．Spain.                                             B．France.

       C．Germany.                                        D．America.

58．In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to __________.

       A．family life                                        B．situations

       C．other values                                     D．trends

59．What message can we get from the text?

       A．The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.

       B．Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.

       C．People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.

       D．Americans are happier than Europeans.

60．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

       A．Americans and Europeans.                B．Staying at Home.

       C．Work and Productivity.                     D．Work and Happiness.

Joe Templer should have known better. After all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If _________________, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.

Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.      

Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation（緩刑）, not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.

One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.
