题型：不详难度：来源：
New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation.
In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However（但是）, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially（尤其是）when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident（交通事故）on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9am to 4 pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work.

day.

s of miles a day, just as their wish. They can stop wherever they want to see something interestin

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. It means a little cold at first. As time changes, the word gets many different meanings. We can use “cool” when we talk about something wonderful or somebody looking smart. For example. When you see a beautiful and expensive car in the street, you can say, “It is cool.” You may think the popular singer Jay Chow is cool. You can also use the word to mean something new and surprising. Here is an example. One day a teacher took the students to a farm and then asked them to write something about the visit. One of her students just wrote, “The farm is so cool.” Because he thought “cool” was the best word to show what he saw and felt. It also shows some people don’t have enough words. Without “cool”, they seem to have no other words to use. Can you think of any other words like “cool: with so many meanings? If you can they are also very “cool”.
小题1:The meaning of the word “cool” ______.
| A．is always the same | B．changes a lot |
| C．is “wonderful or smart” | D．is “new and surprising” |
| A．a little cold | B．a little hot | C．new and surprising | D．good-looking |
| A．excited | B．happy | C．surprised | D．worried |
| A．Meanings of the word “Cool” | B．“Cool”, the Best Word to Use |
| C．People use “Cool” Too Much | D．“Cool’ Is A New Word |
A kind of little cars may take the place of today’s big ones many years later. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.
The little cars of the future will cost less. Driving will be safer, too, since these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for going around a city, but they will not be useful for a long way. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline (汽油). If big cars are still used with the small ones, two kinds of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.
小题1:.There is much pollution in the air today because _____.
| A．people drive big cars |
| B．people drive little cars |
| C．small cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline |
| D．the usual size of cars today is too small |
| A．much smaller than the future one | B．as big as the future ones |
| C．as small as the future ones | D．bigger than the future ones |
| A．there will be too many cars in the future |
| B．more and more people will go to cities |
| C．big cars run faster and little cars run slower |
| D．it looks more beautiful to have two kinds of roads |
English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.
English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and“tea”came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sello tape”(透明胶带) was a name given by the company that first made the product.
小题1:New English words are needed because _____.
| A．people use old words in a new way |
| B．the population is bigger now |

| D．new ideas and new inventions appear all the time |
| A．Tea. | B．Earthquake. | C．Airplane. | D．Sello tape. |
| A．Three. | B．Four. | C．Five. | D．Six. |
| A．that the English language is always changing |
| B．that there are new ideas in England today |
| C．how people name new products and inventions |
| D．how people use old words in a new way |
