三、3.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.Years ago our cities were full of cars, buses and trucks. Now the streets are completely congested (擁擠的) and it is very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years? Will enormous (巨大的) motorways be built across them? With big motorways cutting across them, full of noisy, dirty cars and lorries, our cities are going to be awful places. How can we solve the problem?
  There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars. In 1989, for example, the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment: passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.
  In Stockholm there was another experiment: people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus, train or tram in all the city.
  In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles, and pedestrians are safe there.
  In London there is another experiment: part of the street is for buses only, so the buses can travel fast. There are no cars or taxies in front of them.

A．the number of traffic lights

7.As far back as he could remember, Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star. The young man"s hopes for success were broken again and again, however. Hollywood just did not seem interested. When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and return home without success. Therefore, he kept on trying. Someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come.
  Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood"s big restaurants. His pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living.
  One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.
  Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he stopped, jumped out, and ran over to the director. "Excuse me, sir, but I think it"s only fair to tell you that it"s now or never if you want me in your next picture. A lot of big companies are after me."
  Instead of pushing away the boy, the director got interested in Larry"s words and stopped. "Yes? Which companies?" he asked.
  "Well," replied the boy, "there"s the telephone company, the gas company, and the electric company, to tell you only a few."
  The director laughed, then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man. "Come and see me tomorrow."

13.Mr. Smith gave his wife ten pound for her birthday--ten pretty pound notes. So the day after her birthday, Mrs Smith went shopping. She queued for a bus, got on and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, she noticed that the old lady"s handbag was open. Inside it she saw a wad of pound notes exactly like the one her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag--the notes were gone! Mrs Smith was sure that the old lady who was sitting next to her had stolen them. She thought she would have to call the police; but, as she disliked making a fuss and getting people into trouble, she decide to take back the money from the old lady"s handbag and say nothing more about it. She looked round the bus to make sure nobody was watching, then she carefully put her hand into the old lady"s bag, took the notes and put them in her own bag.
  When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.
  "With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course." she said proudly.
  "Oh? What"s that, then?" he asked, as he pointed to a wad of ten pound notes on the table.

19.In the U.S., people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don"t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don"t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
  At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
  Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
  Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can"t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a "doggie bag". It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.
  Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have "Sunday dinner". This is an especially big noon meal.
  Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

25.After Man has dreamed about flying for a long time. Michael Moshier is a dreamer. He invented the Solo Trek.
  The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see everything under you. You are flying like Superman.
  Michael Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20, 30 years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can"t fly.
  Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moiler has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests. It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20 miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be sold next year for about a million dollars.
  NASA is working with Moshier to help develop his flying machine. The first users are likely to be military.
  It"s been 50-years since Robert Fulton invented his airphibian, a flying car. It flew, and is now in the Smithsonian Museum.
