Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer t
17、o each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.35 Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behaviour in society, and was read
18、ing English literature.At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capita
19、l of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate i
20、n Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.36 What reason does th
21、e author give for Washington not going to college?（A）His family could not afford it.（B） A college education was rather uncommon in his times.（C） He didnt like the young Virginian gentlemen who went to college.（D）The author doesnt give any reason. 37 Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates
22、because he _.（A）lacked practice in public speaking（B） felt his education was inadequate（C） didnt like arguing and debating with people（D）felt that the others were being impractical 38 The reason why Washington didnt visit France was probably that he _.（A）did not really care abut going（B） did not kno
23、w the French leaders（C） could not communicate directly with the French leaders（D）was too busy to travel 39 According to the author _.（A）Washingtons lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life（B） Washington should have gone to France even though be could not speak French（C） Wa
24、shington was not as good as a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison（D）Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen 40 The main idea of the passage is that Washingtons education（A）was of great variety, covering many subjects（B） was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time（
25、C） may seem poor by modem standards, but was good enough for his time（D）was rather limited for a president 40 Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or “bike.“In a great many cities, hundreds of people
26、ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For seve
27、ral years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders: For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were sp
28、ecial lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to trav
29、el by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.41 Ac
30、cording to the passage, bicycles _.（A）are more convenient than cars（B） are safer traffic tools than cars（C） are ridden by most people in U.S.（D）are the solution to some city problems 42 The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by _.（A）the city government（B） some bike riders（C） people living
31、 far from downtown（D）some store owners 43 “Bicycle lanes“ (Line 2, Para.3) probably means _.（A）narrow passages in between buildings for bicycles（B） roads full of bicycles（C） special parts of the road for bicycle riders only（D）roads for bicycles only 44 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to
32、 the passage?（A）Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.（B） Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lines,（C） The Central Park is situated in the downtown section of New York.（D）In some cities many people use bikes as they have special lanes. 45 The best title
33、for this passage is _.（A）Traffic Crowding in New York City（B） Air Pollution in New York City by Cars（C） Special Lanes for Passengers（D）A Solution to Traffic Problems in New York 45 Newspapers, along with reporting the news, instruct, entertain, and give opinions. An important way for reading a large
34、, big-city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, classified ads? Does your paper have other sections?News stories give facts, not the authors opinions. Editorials do the opposit
35、e; you can expect an editorial to take sides. Some newspaper editorials have a by-line with the authors name, but many newspapers have unsigned editorials. These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor.You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can
36、 expect headlines to omit unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.Most of all, the more y
37、ou know about current news, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way for reading newspapers is reading one frequently.46 To read a large newspaper, a good way is _.（A）to read it se

43、ighting was as regular troop members who wore mens uniforms and fought side by side with their male counterparts.
