1.When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent tent officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or buw homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.11.Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses?A.Selling home furnishings.B.Renting furnished apartments.C.Selling used furniture.D.Renting home furnishings.12.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A.Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B.Because it saves them a lot of money.C.Because it saves them much trouble and money.D.Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.13.What can you infer from the passage?A.The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B.Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.C.Only those who don’t have enough money to rent furniture.D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.14.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Rent or Buy?B.A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.C.Furnished Apartments.D.A New Idea.15.Young people liked renting home furniture because_________A.they have less money.B.they don’t want to buy old furniture.C.the new furniture is of good quality.D.they don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.

2.For years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the true. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason.1. Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons EXCEPT that ____.A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trainsB. oil is expensive todayC. trains are slowD. railways lose money2. The writers idea seems to be that ______.A. we can do without railwaysB. trains have much in common with motorcars and planesC. motorcars and planes are not as good as trainsD. trains are as good as motorcars and planes3. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT the advantage of railways?A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B. Super-fast trains travel even faster than planes.C. The railway station is usually at the center of a city.D. A train carries more goods than a motorcar or plane does.4. The writer thinks that the railways, far from being dead, are very much alive because ___________.A. we can have a smooth and untroubled journeyB. we’ll not have enough money to fly everywhereC. we can now travel in super-fast trainsD. all of the above5. The best title for this passage may be ________.A. The Best Choice: Train, Motorcar or PlaneB. The Dying RailwaysC. Super-fast Trains in the FutureD. Not the End, But the Beginning

3.The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as ______.A、pieB、breadC、soupD、wine

4.Text 3Who's to blame? The trail of responsibility goes beyond poor maintenance of British railways, say industry critics. Stingy governments-both Labor and Tory-have cut down on investments in trains and rails.ln the mid-1990s a Conservative government pushed through the sale of the entire subsidy-guzzling rail network. Operating franchises were parceled out among private comparues and a separate firm,Railtrack, was awarded ownership of the tracks and stations. In the future, the theory ran back then, the private sector could pay for any improvements-with a little help from the state-and take the blame for any failings.Today surveys show that travelers believe privatization is one of the reasons for the railways 's failures. They ask whether the pursuit of profits is compatible with guaranteeing safety. Worse, splitting the network between companies has made coordination nearly impossible. "The railway was tom apart at privatization and the structure that was put in place was. . . designed, if we are honest, to maximize the proceeds to the Treasury," said Railtrack boss Gerald Corbett before resigning last month in the wake of the Hatfield crash.Generally, the contrasts with mainland Europe are stark. Over the past few decades the Germans, French and Italians have invested 50 percent more than the British in transportation infrastructure. As a result, a web of high-speed trains now crisscross the Continent, funded by governments willing to commit state funds to major capital projects. Spain is currently planning l,000 miles of new high- speed track.ln France superfast trains already shuttle between all major cities, often on dedicated lines. And in Britain? When the Eurostar trains that link Paris, London and Brussels emerge from the Channel Tunnel onto British soil and join the crowded local network, they must slow down from 186 mph to a maximum of 100 mph-and they usually have to go even slower.For once, the government is listening. After all, commuters are voters, too. In a pre-vote spending spree, the govemment has committed itself to huge investment in transportation, as well as education and the public health service. Over the next 10 years, the railways should get an extra ￡60 billion, partly through higher subsidies to the private companies. As Blair ackoowledged last month, " Britain has been underinvested in and investment is central to Britain's future. " You don't have to tell the 3 million passengers who use the railways every day. Last week trains to Darlington were an hour late-and crawling at Locomotion No.l speeds.51. In the first paragraph, the author tries to[ A] trace the tragedy to its defective origin.[ B] remind people of Britain's glonous past.[ C] explain the failure of Britain's rail network.[ D] call for impartiality in assessing the situation.

    Saving Money

    Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are
    saving to buy a CD（光盘）or to go to a concert,then probably you would keep your money
    somewhere in your room.
    If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
    you save your money?
    One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
    help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
    罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
    your money in a savings account,one year later,you'II have more money than you put
    in.Why?
    When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is an
    amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and the
    money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
    The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you
    how much money you have in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
    earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
    Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
    some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
    money grow.
    You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
    time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
    during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.

    If you draw your money before it is due,you will have to
    A:pay interest to the bank.
    B:close your account.
    C:open a new account.
    D:pay a penalty or fee,

    答案：D

  • 第2题：

    We will support any opportunity for the railways____back into public ownership.

    A.be bought
    B.to be bought
    C.buying
    D.be buying

    答案：B
    解析：
    本题考察动词buy“购买”的语态，过去式bought。题目意为“我们将会支持任何买回铁路使其公有化的机会。”铁路是购买的宾语，宾语在前所以动词使用被动语态bought，由于动作还没有发生，是将来时态，所以采用to be done的形式。
    　　

  • 第3题：

    Railways are the most important mode of transport for the economy.

    A: way
    B: factor
    C: objective
    D: source

    答案：A
    解析：
    句意：对经济来说，铁路是最重要的运输方式。画线单词mode意为“方式，方法”。 A项way意为“方法”，与画线单词意义相近;B项factor意为“因素”;C项objective意为“目标，任务";D项source意为“资源”。故本题选A。

    Saving Money

    Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are
    saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere
    in your room.
    If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
    you save your money?
    One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
    help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
    罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
    your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put
    in.Why?
    When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the
    amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and
    the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
    The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you
    how much money there is in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
    earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
    Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
    some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
    money grow.
    You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
    time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
    during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.
    Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You
    will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why?It's
    because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks

    A bank statement tells you
    A:the amount of money you have in the bank.
    B:the current rates of interest.
    C:the current rates of exchange.
    D:the best way to save your money.
