13.Marc had worked in the city hall's engineering department for so long that the city was laid out in his mind like a map,full of names and places.And then something happened that filled him with shock.
One August afternoon,he discovered a card saying GREEN BOTTLE STREET at the back of the drawer.He checked the listed details.It was not there.It was a lost,a forgotten street,which existed in the heart of Montreal,not half a mile from city hall,and no one had known.He put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart.
At his first glance,Marc realized how it had gotten its unusual name.It was exactly like a bottle in shape.With the sun shining on the garden plots,and the blue sky overhead,the street gave him a sense of peace.A woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right.
He announced,"I'm from the city engineering department,madam."
The woman recovered herself and set her watering can down.
"So you have found out at last,"she said."We paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officials.Then,after a while,we were sent no notices,so we paid no more taxes.No one bothered us at all.It was a long time before we understood that in some way they'd forgotten about us."
Marc nodded.Of course,if Green Bottle Street had been ignored by the city hall,no inspectors would go there,no tax collectors.All would pass merrily by.
"For several years,the tenants(租户) here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlord.The owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he died.I have lived here for more than twenty years.I hope to end my days here as well."
She smiled pleasantly at him,apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces.
"You remind me of my nephew,"she said suddenly."He was a dear boy.I was heart broken when he died.I'm the last of my family,you know."
Marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighbors.He could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwill.His heart warmed to this old lady."I wonder,"he said slowly,"I am a good tenant,and I wonder…"
"Oh yes,"she leaned forward eagerly,"you could have the top floor of my house.I'm sure it would suit you."
Marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can.As far as he was concerned,Green Bottle Street would remain mislaid forever.
61.The underlined sentence"So you've found out at last"shows that the woman was.A
A.disappointed      
B.puzzled      
C.curious      
D.excited
62.It can be inferred that Marc.D
A.carried a bomb in his pocket
B.hated inspectors and tax collectors
C.looked for the long-lost street happily
D.would probably move to Green Bottle Street
63.Marc tore the card into pieces mainly because.D
A.he fell in love with the woman
B.Green Bottle Street got mislaid
C.it presented the wrong information
D.he treasured the peace in Green Bottle Street
64.From the passage we may know that.B
A.the woman's nephew resembled Marc a lot
B.the woman was attached to where she lived
C.tenants in Green Bottle Street often had conflicts
D.Marc's landlord gave away what he had when he died.

3.BEIJING changed the office hours of many institutions starting April 12 in the hope of reducing traffic jams during rush hour.
    The new policy asked 800,000 employees to replace their former working schedule of 8:30 am to 5:30 pm with the new working hours of 9 am to 6 pm.
    This is just one part of the Beijing municipal government's plan to fight traffic jams.Starting April 1,daytime parking fees in 13 downtown areas were raised to encourage less driving.On April 2,the government announced limitations launched after the Beijing Olympics would be extended until April 2012.These ban Beijing's 5.8 million drivers from driving one workday each week.The ban is based on the last number of the car license plate.
    A multi-billion yuan fund has also been set up to build more underground ring roads in heavily populated areas.Major roads above ground will also be expanded.
    According to Beijing's traffic authorities,key projects include repairing major ring roads and expanding the subway network.The city will also create more taxi stops and bike rental stations,probably under the hundreds of overpasses (天桥) citywide.
    Beijing's fight against traffic jams is a smaller example of what is happening all around China.The central government is now supporting new ideas that will change the future of Chinese roads.
    Bus rapid transit (BRT,快速公交系统) is one such idea.Special bus lanes carry almost as many passengers as a subway system.They cost less and are becoming popular in many big cities.Now Beijing has five BRT lines
    Shanghai is dealing with traffic problems by charging higher fees for license plates(牌照).The city is also controlling the total number of plates sold.Now,it is considering a plan to charge cars for entering the central business district,as London does.
    Meanwhile,there are signs that Chinese are more aware of the serious problem of traffic.For example,there has been a sharp increase in the number of posts looking for carpooling (拼车) partners on major websites.
    By the end of March,2010,China had 192 million cars,according to the Ministry of Public Security.

4.Dear Editor,
Recent reports have indicated an additional 1,400Marines(海军陆战队)are being sent to fghanistan in the coming weeks.This means it costs over $1million annually on the ground over there.I do place a higher level of blame on the policymakers who send soldiers off to kill and be killed in the field.I think the human race needs to think more about killing.
One needs to do the introspection:"Are these wars JUST?"I believe that all of our wars since 1945have been illegal,under international law as well.I suggest that all your readers examine their conscience as it relates to the matter of making war.The fact that many soldiers are motivated by a strong sense of duty does not give them some unqualified(绝对的) moral right to support these wars or any other.It's responsible for all the troops,and the entire population,to determine whether the Afghan or Iraq wars are in accordance with(符合) the development of the state.
I wish someone would give me one or more logical reasons why we are still fighting in Afghanistan and what our goals are.I certainly don't understand it and neither do many who are more knowledgeable than I.
Outsiders have tried unsuccessfully for centuries to conquer Afghanistan,and we seem to be no more successful.We are trying to develop a stable central government,but the country is badly divided into ethnic and tribal groups,and the current government is corrupt(腐败的).Moreover,we are apparently regarded as undesirable occupiers by many of its people,most notably(尤其) the Taliban(塔利班).
If we are to continue spending billions every year in Afghanistan and killing hundreds of our people and many of theirs,our government must provide us with a reasonable explanation of why we are doing so and what we can expect to accomplish.

2.China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However,people still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors---silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks(人行道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a"pack"of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
21.According to the author,why are bicycles still popular in China today?B
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
22.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intendedC.
A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
23.How did the author feel about his street crossing?B
A.It was boring.
B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.
D.It was wonderful.
24.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?D
A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C.The author was praised by the other bikers.
D.The author took great pleasure in biking.
