根据句意和动词后的介词to，排除选项A和C，而arrange表示“安排，整理”，意思与作者要表达的“说服人们改变他们的生活习惯”不符，所以D项persuade为正确答案。
联系上下文，可知这里提出的是一个解决问题的方法，approach表示“方法，途径”，指从事某事的特别方法、途径，符合句意，为正确答案。A项manner表示“方式”时，多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法；B项custom表示“风俗，习惯”；C项style表示“风格，样式”；均不符合句意，故选B。

联系上下文，本句后半段提到“市中心”，再根据句意，可得出前面是说“郊区”，只有outskirts是正确答案，故选D。
根据上下文，只有service符合。利用特殊的公交服务，而不是公交站台(B 项）、公交路线（C项）和公交票价（D项）。所以选A。
the most important thing为惯用语，表示“最重要的事是……”，根据句意，作者要表达的是“最重要的事情还是提供良好的公共交通”，因此thing为正确答案，其他三项 均不合适，故选D。

Air pollutionPeople and air pollution are often in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major kind of air pollution is the gas from cars. Statistics(统计资料) show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities.Another major kind of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the county.On the average, we throw away more rubbish than the year before. The burning of rubbish makes air pollution even worse. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes(烟)from iron, steel, chemical, and petrol production add particles(微粒)to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode(腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.26. The key point of the passage is that().A. the cause of air pollution is peopleB. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in citiesC. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to death27. What is the purpose of this passage?A. to persuade people to stop polluting the air().B. to tell the causes of air pollutionC. to tell why cities are bad places to live28. Why is air pollution more grave in the city than in the country?().A. Because there are larger populations in cities.B. Because the air in the city is dirty.C. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country.29. The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal().A. to corrodeB. to twistC. to turn black30. In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contribute to().A. heart diseaseB. loss of clear visionC. lung diseases

Years ago our cities were full of cars,buses and trucks．Now the streets are completely congested(拥挤的)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.
In many cities pedestrians are now much safer because__.A.no traffic is allowed on some streets
B.traffic is computer-controlled
C.cars move very slowly
D.only one way streets are open to traffic

Cities“Worse to Live in Than 20 Years Ago”One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect cities,and the re-markable findings show that life in today's mega-cities is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems.For many people,the daily commute to work is a source of frustration.40% of the people in the sur-vey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem.Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport costs.The general cost of living in cities is another problem.The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers.Many young people are priced out of the housing market,and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet,or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city centre .In London,for instance,the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.Crime rates have rocketed in many big cities,and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city.Fear of crime is on the increase-street crimes,such as mugging and assault,are now very common-and many are afraid of going out at night alone.Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for children.Most major conurbations（有卫星城的大都市）surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gar- dens than a generation ago.Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets,office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces.Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated in the city,a problem which is compounded by pollution.And finally,the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollu-lion—the roar of traffic , the sound of loud music blaring（发刺耳声）out of a neighbour's win-dow,and the constant sound of activity.It is not surprising,then,that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before .Big cities,once a mecca for ambitious people seeking fameJ and fortune,are now less and less popular among people of all ages .Perhaps the 21st century is set to be the century of the small town and the countryside. London has had some success in reducing pollution.A: RightB: WrongC: Not mentioned

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.
