第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

              All around the world,people are working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestriand(行人) .Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets,made streets narrower,put in traffic lights and speed bumps(減速帶) and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.

              Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia,named David Engwicht. His  book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple!message. 36  Kids played there,and neighbors stopped there to talk.

              But now,streets are just for cars and trucks,j People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic,and we lose contact with our neighbors. 37  People need to take back their streets. Engwicht travels around the world,helping people think differently about pedestrians,streets,and neighborhoods. 38 He has worked in neigh?borhoods from Honolulu to Scotland. 

              While Engwicht was writing his book,he learned how neighbors in the city of Delft,in the Netherlands,stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches,tables,and planters in the street. 39 When the police arrived,they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down,and “calm” the traffic.

              Engwicht says we should think about streets as our “outdoor living room”. 40 In the future,streets will be safe places for children again,and our neighbors will become our friends.

   A. Cars and pedestrians crowded the street.

   B. Calming the traffic is just the beginning.

   C. Cars could still pass,but they had to drive slowly.

   D. He says that in the past,streets belonged to everybody.

   E. It's hard to take measures to solve the traffic problems.

   F. Besides his books and articles,he gives many speeches.

   G. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation.

話題:交通

本文是記敘文。澳大利亞人Engwicht倡導(dǎo)回收街道,解決交通問題,使街道成為 家庭和鄰里交往更安全的地方。

36. D. 下文的 Kids played there,and neigh?bors stopped there to talk 是對 D 項(xiàng)中的 streets belonged to everybody的解釋。

37. G. 由下文的 People need to take back their streets和Engwicht所做的努力可知,Engwicht認(rèn)為街道不僅僅只是交通通道,還蘊(yùn)含著更多的意義。

38. F. Engwicht致力于改善城市街道環(huán)境,由他四處宣講他的想法可知,他不 僅寫書,還做演講,并在社區(qū)中做工作。故選F項(xiàng)。

39. C. 由下文的 made the streets safer … make cars slow down 可知,雖然 Delft 的市民在街道上放了很多東西,汽車仍可通行,但需要減慢速度。

40. B. 由上文 Engwicht 說的 streets as our “outdoor living room”可知,減緩汽車的通行速度僅僅只是開始,最終目的是讓街道成為人們的“戶外客廳”。

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D) 中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

                                      A

             Founded nearly a century ago,the House of Prada is recognized around the world for its simple and eye-catching creations.

             Mario Prada started the Prada label in 1913. He designed and sold luggage,handbags,and shoes in two small stores in Milan,Italy,and had customers across Europe and the US. When the big-name Prada suitcase,made from heavy walrus (海象) skin,proved unsuitable for aif travel,Prada concentrated on designing excellent leather goods and waterproof handbags.

             In 1978,Mario's granddaughter,Miuccia Prada who was clearly fashion-conscious,took over the company. The label was well known as a leather goods manufacturer,but had been struggling financially for several years. It looked like it was going to continue to do so. There was competition from other fashion houses like Gucci,but Miuccia turned the business around and brought the House of Prada into the? world of haute couture (高級(jí)時(shí)裝) .

              Miuccia had been making jet-black waterproof backpacks since 1970,out of a nylon fabric called “Pocone”. She produced the classic Prada handbag which was simple,black nylon,and in 1985 it became a worldwide hit. The bag was functional,practical -and fashionable. The high price tag that accompanied the handbags was bound to encourage other companies to make similar cheaper bags in order to take advantage of the market. This only helped to make the genuine Prada articles more in demand.

              In 1989,Prada hit the fashion shows with its ready-to-wear collection of elegant,simple clothing. The fashion world took notice,and Prada's popularity soared(飛漲) .By the beginning of the 1990s,it was clear that Prada was going to be the leading force in fashion. Luxurious fabrics and simple styles,mostly in basic colours such as black,brown,grey and cream became the typical Prada look.

              In 1992,Miuccia created the more affordable Miu Miu line,aimed at younger buyers,followed by,the Prada Sport label,a line of mens wear and a lingerie(女士內(nèi)衣) collection.

              Although the Prada look has developed over the years,and Miuccia has introduced many innovations(創(chuàng)新) in fabric and design,the quality of the finished product has never changed.

1. At first,the suitcases Mario Prada made  .

   B. had been faced with fierce competition

   C. had entered the world of haute couture

   D. had been famous for its functional products

3. What influence did the similar cheaper bags have on Prada?

   A. The real Prada products were taken off the market.

   B. More people wanted to get the real Prada products.

   C. The company had to lower the price of its products.

   D. More younger buyers could afford the real Prada products.

4. What is the best title for the text?

   A. Milan: The fashion capital of the world

   B. Miuccia: From Prada to Miu Miu

   C. Pocone: The classic nylon fabric

   D. Prada: From Milan to the world

5. How does the author develop this text?

   A. By using numbers.

   B. By making comparisons.

   C. By telling interesting stories.

   D. By following the order of time.
