第一节阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

The United States of America is faced with serious traffic problems. Too many cars travel on the freeways to and from the city. This heavy traffic causes delays and lots of pollution from cars that are using their engines but not moving anywhere. Many cars going nowhere is called a “traffic jam”.

While many cities in the United States have traffic problems,some of the worst are in Los Angeles,California,which is a big city with a large downtown area. One of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get around.

Experts say one possible solution to the traffic problems in Los Angeles would be to make people want to use the public transportation system of buses instead of their own cars. People say the buses should be made easier,faster,less costly and more dependable than driving a car.

One suggestion is to reduce the cost of taking the bus. Also,Los Angeles could make the buses easier for people to use. The buses could travel to more places in the city. And there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive in. These changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car.

Other experts have said that the best way to ease traffic problems is to charge people money to drive on the freeways. These charges,or tolls,would be for the most crowded roads. The tolls would be in effect during the times of a day when most people drive to work and home. These times in the morning and late afternoon are called “rush hour”. People would try to avoid driving on these roads,which would decrease the amount of traffic. Also,the money collected from these tolls could be used to improve the roads and public transportation system.

   A. Money charged when driving cars.

   B. Causes of the heavy traffic jams.

   C. Reasons to take public transportations.

   D. Solutions to solving traffic problems.

37. Why does Los Angeles have some of the worst traffic problems?

   A. Because it is a very big city with a large population.

   B. Because most people like to get around by car.

   C. Because public transportation is very popular there.

   D. Because there are not enough roads there.

38. From the passage we can infer that .

   A. driving their own cars cost less than taking buses

   B. taking buses is faster than driving cars in downtown area

   C. public buses usually come to the stop on time

   D. it is much easier to take buses than to drive cars

39. By marking out more special lanes on the freeways,they hope .

   A. buses can travel to more places in the city

   B. private cars can run much faster on them

   C. buses seldom get stuck in the traffic jams

   D. passengers can get on and off the buses easily

40. If people are charged on the most crowded roads during “rush hour”, .

   A. less air pollution would be produced

   B. there would be no traffic jam

   C. the freeways would be more crowded

   D. the number of cars on them would be smaller

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.

One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well,I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least 1 could do Please,I insist." Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.

One by one,the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked ,“Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy's heart sank. “With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“Sorry,I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

C(2013 •天津) 

When asked about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,an absolute delight,which seems to get rarer the older we get.

For kids,happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的) .

In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

In adulthood the things that bring deep joy — love,marriage,birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults,happiness is complicated (复杂的) .

My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,and even good health.

I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing,which I love. When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother,who raised 14 children,had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family,and maybe this is what satisfied her.

We,however,with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area,have turned happiness into one more thing weVe got to have. We5re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.

Happiness isn’t about what happens to us it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do possess.

46. As people grow older,they .

   A. feel it harder to experience happiness

   B. associate their happiness less with others

   C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

   D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness

47. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

   A. She cares little about her own health.

   B. She enjoys the freedom of travelling.

   C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life.

   D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework.

48. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7 ?

   A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.

   B. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma's case.

   C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings.

   D. Grandma?s happiness came from modest expectations of life.

49. People who equal happiness with wealth and success .

   A. consider pressure something blocking their way

   B. stress their right to happiness too much

   C. are at a loss to make correct choices

   D. are more likely to be happy

50. What can be concluded from the passage?

   A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.

   B. Each man is the master of his own fate.

   C. Success leads to happiness.

   D. Happy is he who is content.
