解析:细节题。本题答案句来自首段倒数第二句:But only 2%of women cycle to work in London,compared with 5%of men,“但在伦敦,仅2%的女性骑车上班,与之相比男性为5%。”选项[A]Working males.“有工作的男性。”文章说5%的男性骑自行车上班,女性仅为2%,由此可见有工作的男性更可能骑车上班。选项[A]正确。[B]Senior citizens.“老年人。”文章首段并无提到这类群体,该项属于无中生有。[C]Working women.“有工作的女性。”原文说了女性骑车上班人数少于男性,该项错误。[D]Unemployed people.“无业人士。”文章只讨论了上班男女,并无讨论到无业人士,该项也是错误的。综上[A]为正确答案。

考题 根据下列材料请回答 26~30 题:BToday there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.Today. the London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.第 26 题 In 1700, the men who protected the streets were paid __________.A. a fewB. nothingC. a littleD. a lot

考题 Today, London police officers who ride horses are paid __________.A. the same as their WorkmatesB. more than their workmatesC. half as much as their workmatesD. less than their workmates

考题 In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____A、They are too slim.B、They work too hard.C、They are too fat.D、 They lost too much body fat.2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____A、 30.B、 50.C、100.D、150.3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D、We don't know because the information is not given4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.A、ate more food and had more physical activitiesB、ate less food but had more activitiesC、 ate less food and had less physical exerciseD、had more weight problems5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

考题 A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads. Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school. The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6.50 a tenn. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme. The new bus service will run__________.A.on morning journeys to school only B.in connection with an existing service C.only for children living more than three miles away D.only in wet weather

考题 Kentish Town Road is 8 humdrum high street in north London.It contains pawnbrokers,pound shops,hairdressers and some long-in-the-tooth hardware slores.Unlike Camden Town to the south,full of bars and tattoo parlours,or Hampstead to the west,with its bisLros and boutique clothing shops,little seems to have changed on the street for the past three decades."It's never quite got going,"admiLs Gary McLaren,a local bookseller.Yet the lack of change is odd-and hints at some of the strangeness of London.Kentish Town has excellent Lransport links to ceniral London,and plenty of residenLs prepared to pay good money for thai.Off the high street streich rows of pretty Victorian terraced houses,which sell for as much as 2m a piece.Between 2007 and 2014 property prices in the posLcode area surrounding the main Tube and railway station more than doubled.An influx of French parents,drawn by a school that opened in 2011,is pushing prices even higher.Yet Kentish Town's shops and cafes are almost invariably untrendy and in some cases mouldering.A hair salon,a butcher and a sportswear shop have each been owned by the same men for more than a quarter of a century.Why?One explanation is Lhat,in common with other parts of London,Kentish Town has lots of social housing as well as costly Viclorian terraces.Camden Council,the local authority,is building even more in the borough.This helps cheaper shops survive,suggests Tony Travers of the London School of Economics:council tenants are less likely to drive and so rely more on local outlets.And the sheer volume of car and lorry traffic on the busy high street,which is a main road into the city,might deter shoppers from visiting and swanky businesses from setting up in the area.Demography plays a part,too.Fully 72%of the population of Kentish Town is white,including a good number of Irish residents-higher than the proportion in London as 8 whole,at 60%.Unlike the high streets around Peckham and Brixton in south London,which cater for African shoppers who may travel far to reach them,few specialist shops draw people to Kentish Town."We're not a destinaLion high street,"sighs one local trader.NIMBYs have not always helped.Lots of civic groups are active in the area,campaigning against late licences and the like,says Dan Camer of the Camden New Journal,a newspaper.A local business association is also good at complaining.Partly because of this,a big supermarket has not yet opened on the high street-though Lidl,a discounter,will seL up shop this year."We quite like that il is rough around the edges,"says Michael Williams,a writer and local.Paradoxically,soarinS;house prices in the area might be another brake on change.Wealthy family buyers mean that some houses once split into flats have been tumed back into homes,says Mr Carrier.The result is fewer shoppers on the high street.Wealthy residents are more likely to get their groceries online or drive to bigger stores.And most will go out to the West End rather than a local restaurant.Such"counter-currents"will prevent Kentish Town from gentrifying fully,suggests Gillian Tindall,a local historian.And they affect many other streets in London,too.Lupus Street in Pimlico serves a large council block on one side and white stucco houses on the other.Caledonian Road in Islington,close to rapidly-changing King's Cross,is still fuU of kebab shops.London is a global city,but it is also a collection of villages,cranky and resistant to change. Gary McLaren admits thatA.few tourists come to visit the town. B.social housing tenants often shop at local outlets. C.demography plays a central role in the change. D.the road remains unchanged for decades. E.housing price may be an obstacle of change. F.counter-currents have influenced many streets. G.property prices near subway and railway station have doubled.

考题 Text 4 Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June,along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent,as good news.And they were right.For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace.We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment,but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However,there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked.There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent)above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare,it is worth making an important distinction.Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs.They take part-time work because this is all they can get.An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June,but the general direction has been down.Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession,but it is down by 640,000(7.9percent)from its year ago level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us.The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week.If the answer is“yes”,they are classified as working part-time.The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice.They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment.For many people,especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions,before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However,Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges.These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families.With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance. The text mainly discusses____A.employment in the US B.parttimer classification C.insurance through Medicaid D.Obamacare's trouble

考题 问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.The City of the Future  What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They predict that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems—more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas.  How can we solve such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because rents are so high. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks. These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.  Los Angeles, California, for instance, has no subway system and the buses are slow. Instead, most commuters drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, by contrast, has a mass transit system—buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, however, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than in Los Angeles.  On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast, and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use mass transit to move quickly from one part of the city to another.  The disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city—that is, cities all over the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. Yet many cities have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation. Many U.S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas. Urban planners can learn from one another. They can try solutions that have been successful in other parts of the world.  Summary:  Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible.
