Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation. This decision was suitab

10、le for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead，people live in houses with gardens. In Los Angeles，most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have park

11、ing lots. Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD. .If a city has a CBD，crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work，they need lots of road space. So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in bet

12、ween the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces. Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage，Los Angeles is a city where _.（分数：2.00）A.there is no public transportation systemB.more money is spent on hig

13、hways for carsC.more money is spent on public transportation systemsD.more developed than in other cities(2).“The city grew outward instead of upward“(Line 1，Para.2) means _.（分数：2.00）A.the city became more spread out instead of growing tallerB.there were fewer small houses than tall buildingsC.rapid

17、 studying for their M. D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room . Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600are trying the foreign route. But

18、 gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons, and Canada“s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students-if they ca

19、n master the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain, for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University atBologna;175 at Rome. Mexico“s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students. Despite diff

20、iculties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year student at Louvain has a simpleexplanation for those successes: “Anyone who comes here has to be motivated. You have to learn anew language, the school

21、is constant hard work, and it“s difficult to get back into the States to practice“. Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those

24、0）A.A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants from their own countries first.B.To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C.Th

28、ign RouteD.American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools.五、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted t

29、he idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and

30、interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. Thi

31、s may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but

32、it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make childre

35、tionC.co-operationD.personal benefit(5).The word “sociable“ (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.fond of talking freelyB.friendly with other peopleC.concerned about social welfareD.happy at school六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United Sta

36、tes. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They“re not! Again, they“re voting for representatives, who are called electors. In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take

37、-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent. The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) doe

38、s not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress. If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at le

39、ast 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president.
