In the past, a city’s major shopping district was in its downtown area. People could get downtown easier than they could get to other parts of the city. Before the 1920s, the best way to travel in a city was on a streetcar, a subway, a railroad, or an elevated train. All these ran on tracks that led downtown. 　As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed other places to shop. More people were driving cars, and they needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficult. Finding a parking space downtown was sometimes impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily. 　To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers. 　Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shopper can do all his shopping in one place. 　The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can walk from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside. 　60. Today, many suburbs have _____. 　A. parks with beautiful fountains 　B. large shopping centers 　C. businesses with no parking spaces 　　D. subways and railroads 　61. Why did people want suburban shopping centers? 　A. They lived far from the downtown stores 　B. They wanted stores that had statues and plants 　C. They liked to get to them on the subways 　D. They hated the downtown life 　62. Which statement does the story lead you to believe? 　A. Most people living in the suburbs have cars. 　B. Most shopping centers were built before 1920. 　C. Most suburbs do not have shopping centers. 　D. Only shoppers from the suburbs go shopping in the mall. 　63. On the whole, this story is about _____. 　A. going downtown on a streetcar or elevated train 　B. people who live in the middle of large cities 　C. the parking problem in the downtown areas 　D. why some businesses have moved to the suburbs

World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization takes place, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs cannot last long. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to make the plan come true. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient machine. As a result, a worker trained for a specific factory job becomes unemployed. 　Many experts in Third World economics are concerned about rapid industrialization because it brings problems as well as progress. Citizens of these countries need jobs that will last, not jobs that are temporary. In the opinion of these economists, the leaders of Third World countries should know the dangers as well as the advantages of rapid industrialization. 　56. The rapid industrialization in Third World countries means _____. 　A. more progress to the state 　B. more profits to the factory owners 　C. more problems to the government 　D. all of the above 　57. Of the following points, which one do leaders of an industry consider first? 　A. More jobs for the workers. 　B. Rapid development in all the fields. 　C. Better pay for the worker. 　　D. Highest productivity. 　58. The writer wrote the passage in order to _____. 　A. tell us an interesting story 　B. tells the truth 　C. tell us the disadvantages of automation 　D. give a warning to some Third World countries 　59. In the sentence “Citizens of these countries need jobs that will last”, the word “last” means “_____”. 　A. follow others　　 B. go on 　C. become late　　　 D. be most recent

Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the future.

　　 I see the city of the future in three zones---inner, middle and outer. In the inner zone there will be no private cars. Public transport will be free and there will only be ambulances, fire engines, taxis and police cars. This inner zone will be the residential(住宅的) and recreational(娱乐的) area of the city. People will live there and go out to enjoy themselves----to cinemas and restaurants. There will be parks and open spaces, trees and lakes, schools and universities. This way, when people are at home, they can go out easily and safely.

　　 Just outside the inner zone there will be big car parks for all private cars.

　 　The banks and most of the shops and hospitals will be in the middle zone. These are things that people don’t need every day.

　　 All the factories and offices will be in the outer zone. People will travel out of the center to work, and back to the center in the evenings. The inner zone will be cleaner and better to live in and there will be more space for industry on the outside.
