Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by
15、blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.35 There are more than 100 million cars in the United States. A normal car gets less than 15 miles from each gallon of gas. It travels about 10,000 miles each year. In that time, it uses about 650 gallons of gas. In all, autos use up some 70 bi
16、llion gallons of gas a year. That comes out to be four-and-a-half million barrels a day.The importance of saving gas, then, cannot be stressed too much. Lets say, for instance, that the fuel used by each car could be cut back just 15 percent. This could be done by making fewer trips each day. It cou
17、ld be done through better driving habits. If it were done, our nations use of fuel would fall by close to two-thirds of a million barrels per day.We can all help save gas. One way is to ride the buses. Some of us could walk to work. We could ride mopeds(机动脚踏两用车) or bikes. Another way is to share a r
18、ide. We could join carpools (合伙使用汽车). About one-third of all cars are used for going to and from work.Go shopping with a friend from time to time. If two people use a car instead of one, we all save. There would be fewer cars on the road. The savings on gas around the nation would come to more than
19、one half million barrels a day.Another way to save is by cutting our useless trips. Can you find one car trip per week that could be handled by telephone? Can you combine trips? If each car took one less 10-mile trip a week, we could save three-and-half billion gallons of gas a year. This comes to n
20、early 5 percent of the total passenger car demand for gas.The way people drive decides how much fuel they save. Careful drivers may get20 percent more miles per gallon than normal drivers. They could get 50 percent more miles per gallon than wasteful drivers. Careful drivers obey the 55-mile-per-hou
21、r speed limit. They get to their desired speed quickly and keep a steady pace.If just one gallon of gas were saved each week for each car in the country, we could all save about five-and-half billion gallons a year.36 To decrease the number of useless car trips, you can use the _.（A）bus service（B） s
22、ubway service（C） telephone（D）airplane 37 What is the main idea of the passage?（A）Americans need to save gas.（B） Gas prices continue to rise.（C） Small cars get good gas mileage.（D）Automobiles cause serious air pollution. 38 The author suggests that better driving habits _.（A）are required by law（B） wi
23、ll not cause any accidents（C） help to keep the car in good shape（D）help save gas 39 If more people shared a ride, there would be _.（A）fewer cars on the road（B） higher insurance rates（C） more highway accidents（D）more cars on the road 40 This article means to say that a careful driver travels about _.
24、（A）75 miles per hour（B） 65 miles per hour（C） 55 miles per hour（D）10 miles per hour 40 George Bernard Shaw, the greatest British dramatist (居作家) of the first half of the 20th century, was born in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a man who drank too much and could not support his family properly. His m
25、other was a disappointed, unhappy woman who found more pleasure in studying music than in her children. Bernard and his two sisters received little love and attention from their parents when they were young.Shaw was a good, bright, curious student in his school years. At fifteen, he went to work in
26、an office. After five years, he decided that he wanted to be a writer, so he left Ireland then and went to London, where he began to write seriously.On September 2, 1882, Shaws ideas on socialism suddenly took shape (成形) when he attended the lecture by an American economist Henry George. The lecture
27、 led him to recognize that economics must be at the centre of socialist thought. He studied Karl Marxs Das Kapital and attended a Marxist reading circle on September 5, 1884, eight months after its founding.In 1898, Shaw married a wealthy, independent woman named Charlotte Payne Townshend. They live
28、d happily together until her death in 1943.By 1915, Shaws international fame was firmly established (树立) and his plays were staged (上演) in many countries all over the world, from Britain to Japan. Shaw won the Nobel Prize for literature (文学 ) in 1925. He came to China in 1932 and 15ecame a friend of

33、 days when Calvin Coolidge came into power. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had moved in several years before. The former Presidents wife was still living in the White House.Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his cloth
34、es, remove a wallet and a watch chain.Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wont take that.“The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why?“I dont mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is on its back,“ the President said.The thief read,“ Presented to Calvin Coolidge.“Are yo
35、u President Coolidge?“ he asked.The President answered “Yes, and the House of Representatives gave me that watch charm. Im fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Lets talk this over.“Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “Ill take this and leave everything else.“Coo
36、lidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then h
37、e counted out $32 and said it was a loan.He then told the young man “There is a guard in the corridor.“ The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.46 What caused the thief to meet the President?（A）He knew the President had lots of money.（B） He knew the President lived in

41、away from their families. They may want to move out of the family home for a while.Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or relative.“It was the break I needed at the time,“ said Richard Lerner. He is talking about the t
42、ime he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15.“It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents.“ Lerner said. He now heads the Institute for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University.Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of th
43、inking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions (解答) to problems.This is different from running away, the experts stress. Runaways are often fleeing serious problems.Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for a while with a rel
44、ative or with the family of a friend.If there is conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until th
45、e late teen years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times.“In the 17th century, children were often sent to live in other peoples homes when they were about 10 or 11,“ he said.Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia. He said parents should listen when a child wants to move
46、 out. They should try to find out why the child wants some time away.Often, parents can help the child find a safe place to stay during that time. In other cases, they can meet the childs needs at home.51 According to this passage, many parents think it _ for their children to live away from them.（A
