2.Beijing isn't the only city with traffic problems.You can get stuck in a traffic jam anywhere in the world.For example,in Europe,most capital cities were planned and built before cars,and traffic jams in city centre (61)have been(be) part of daily life since the 1960s.The situation in central London,(62)where drivers spent fifty percent of their time in queues,became so bad that the local government decided to do something about it.In February 2003,the Mayor of London introduced a"congestion charge"-a tax for cars (63)entering (enter) the centre of the city.The idea was simple:every car that came to the centre had to pay 5pounds (64)a day.Most Londoners were not happy (65)with the idea.But there were a few people who thought the charge should be much (66)higher (high),because this would keep more cars out of central London,and the roads would be (67)nearly (near) empty.
Did the congestion charge work?Two thirds of the (68)investigations(investigate) carried out at the end of 2003suggested it did.After only six months,cars in central London(69)were reduced (reduce) by about 30percent.More people used public transport,and bicycles were suddenly very popular.What's more,central London shops did not lose business (70)though/althoughthere were fewer cars.
分析 北京不是存在交通问题的唯一城市,在世界上的任何地方都会遇到交通拥堵,欧洲早在上世纪六十年代就出现了交通拥堵问题.在伦敦市中心司机甚至要花一半的时间排队,以至于政府提出要收取拥堵费,试图把一部分车辆控制在市中心以外.通过调查得出,三分之二的人认为拥堵费在缓解交通问题方面起了作用.六个月以后,伦敦市中心的车辆减少了百分之三十,很多人开始使用公共交通系统,自行车也突然受欢迎了.
解答 61.have been;考查动词的时态,since是现在完成时态的标志,句子的时间状语为 since the 1960s,所以要用现在完成时.
62.where;考查定语从句,先行词为 central London,表示地点,故用关系副词where.
63.entering;考查分词作状语,cars与动词enter存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式作状语.
64.a;考查冠词,这是一个固定用法,5pounds a day意为"每天五英镑".
65.with;考查介词,be happy with是固定短语,意为"对…很满意".
66.higher;考查形容词的比较级,副词much后面要跟比较级形式.
67.nearly;考查副词,这里用副词作状语,修饰形容词 empty.
68.investigations;考查名词,investigation意为"调查"是可数名词,前面的定语Two thirds of 意为"三分之二",根据句意,此处应该用名词的复数形式.
69.were reduced;考查动词的时态和语态,这里讲的是发生了的事情,主语 cars和动词reduce又是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态.
70.though/although;考查连词,分析句意应为"尽管这里的车辆少了,但伦敦市区中心的商店并未失去生意",所以此处应该用though/although引导一个让步状语.
点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配,给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.
