But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government wants to ban rickshaws. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problem with this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw, If the city bans rickshaws, these men won"t have a job. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.

试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要介绍了黄包车在Kolkata地区的流行以及它的巨大便利，给人们带来了很多方便，成为许多普通大众的谋生手段。
小题1:大意归纳题。根据短文第一段的描述以及最后一句话No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.可知本段的主要内容就是介绍的黄包车的巨大用处；前三项都不如D项概述全面；故选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第二段 But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.可知在大雨天，不受影响的就是黄包车，所以选D。
小题3:词义猜测题。根据短文最后一段开头说政府不认为黄包车是一种好现象，以及If the city bans rickshaws, these men won"t have a job. 可知，ban的意思是禁止；故选C。

What does a policeman do in fact? It is not _ job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic, either on foot in the centre of a town, or in a police car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time driving up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop _ motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the peace, too. If there is a fight or some other disturbance(动乱), we _ _ the police to come and keep order. And they often have to _ the situation at great risk to their own _.
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary(普通) policeman, even if he is not a detective, will often have to help _ _ and arrest criminals.
And _ __ do we call when there is an emergency—an air crash, a _ , a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be _ to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the modern world.
The police do a necessary job, and they do it very well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could ever do the job of a policeman.

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
小题1:We know that the word “cool” has had ________.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings
小题2:In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”
A. see B. show C. know
小题3:If you are ________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of
小题4:The writer takes an example to show he is _______ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about
小题5:In the passage, the writer suggests（暗示）that the word “cool” ______.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting
C. may not be as cool as it seems
New traffic laws (交通法) say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.
Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians (行人) must work together to make the streets safer.
The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.
There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fences (栅栏) along streets.
Do you ride a bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike lane (车道) when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.
Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet (头盔), ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.
Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt (安全带), even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.
If you see a hit-and –run (肇事逃逸), tell the police. They may give you a reward (奖赏). And don’t be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.

In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today, lifelong learning is becoming more common. In many countries, some people return to school in their late twenties, thirties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills after work. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand" s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
小题1:Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.
| A．want to be as rich as their neighbors |
| B．want others to know or to think that they are rich |
| C．don"t want others to know they are rich |
| D．want to make themselves happy |
| A．live outside New York City | B．live in New York city |

| A．correct | B．interesting | C．impossible | D．good |
| A．holding a race | B．riding horses |
| C．holding parties | D．hiring a servant |
