阅读理解。Dear Sir,
     I have to travel every day from SoUk Road to the Airport. Two buses travel along this route: the number
49 and the number 16. However, by the time the number 16 bus reaches SoUk Road, it is always full, so it
is of no use for me. This leaves the number 49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.
     The timetable states that there are buses from SoUk Road to the Airport every ten minutes. If this is so,
why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day? The instructions state that if there are empty
seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why is it that half-empty buses go
straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
     The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers.
Yesterday, I was first to get off the bus when it reached the Airport. I counted the other passengers as they
got off. There were 129 of them.
     Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says "Maximum speed: 50 m.p.h." The distance
from SoUk Road to the Airport is 10 miles. Saturday morning a 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes,
at an average speed of 60 m.p.h. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 m.p.h. It is obvious that
our bus companies have no respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing
be done about this? 1. The writer prefers to take Bus No.49 because it _____. [     ]
A. stops at every stop
B. has more seats on it
C. travels faster
D. is not always full 2. According to the timetable, a 49 bus should travel through its route _____. [     ]
A. every ten minutes
B. in less than ten minutes
C. in more than twelve minutes
D. in half an hour 3. The writer is not satisfied with the bus company because _____. [     ]
A. buses are too crowded
B. bus drivers often go straight past without stopping
C. too few buses are traveling along this route
D. bus services are poor
答案
1. D   2. C   3. D
举一反三
阅读理解。     I"m sure I"m not the only person (my age 15) who hates going to the dentist. Channel 4"s late-night
documentary (纪录片) Open wide last Tuesday was excellent for people like me. However, none of my
school friends watched it because they didn"t know it was on. Why can"t television companies let us know
about such important programmes in advance?
     This pragrammes was important because it showed how methods for helping people with toothache
have developed over the centuries. If you think visiting the dentist today is an uncomfortable experience,
just be grateful you didn"t live 200 years ago! Then, the programmes told us, the only cure for toothache
was removing the tooth. There weren"t any dentists, so the person who cut your hair also pulled out your
bad teeth, and there was nothing to stop you feeling the pain.
     The programme has also completely changed my attitude to looking after my teeth. My parents were
always saying to me things like, "Don"t eat too many sweets." And, "Brush your teeth after meals." But I
never paid much attention. Now I"ve seen what damage sugar can do, especially if I don"t use a toothbrush
regularly. I"m going to change my habits. Many people would benefit from a repeat of this programme.
Sophie Ashley, Oxford 1. Sophie has written this letter to _____. [     ]
A. complain about the time a television programme was shown
B. ask for more television programmes designed for school children
C. advise people to watch a particular television programme
D. persuade a television company to show a programme again 2. A reader can find out from this letter _____. [     ]
A. how to encourage young people to take care of their teeth
B. where to get information about future television programmes
C. what kind of subjects young people enjoy studying at school
D. which television channel shows the most interesting programmes 3. What did Open wide say about toothache?[     ]
A. In the past, nobody could make it stop.
B. Dentists used to help people who had it.
C. Hairdressers have it more than other people.
D. Ways of curing it have changed. 4. What does Sophie think about her parents now? [     ]
A. They don"t know as much as her about teeth.
B. Their advice is worth listening to.
C. They eat things that are bad for them.
D. They don"t clean their teeth often enough.

     Except for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen (边疆居民), who walked in
the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and
gold. For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the
"American dream". Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as a recreational activity. Shouldering a
pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television and traffic promise an exciting experience. Testing
one"s stamina (耐力) and skills and challenging a sense of one"s place in the natural world can be rewarding.
Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length for time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends.
Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two. The backpacker and his friends have only
to decide on their destination and then organize the all-important kit (工具包), whose contents they must depend
on throughout their trip. A map, a compass, a flashlight, along with first-aid equipment, food, and extra clothing
can be rounded up without much difficulty. Once the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note
on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that
will lift the spirit and encourage the soul. Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of
technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo, who did indeed belong to the age of the
frontier.

请先通读下列短文,然后从所给的七个选项中选出能填入空格的最佳选项。
     1_____ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It"s great fun especially if you
are the sort of person who feels there"s never anything to do during the school holidays.   
     The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. What are you interested in? Pets, clothes,
pop music or dancing groups, sports, or making things? 2_____

you can think up. That"ll keep you busy for ages.

brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!   
     Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again
you will spend a lot of time making them. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. Why not leave some
space for a photo of yourself? 5_____

     It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
"Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
     That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
They are breaking away from you so that they"ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
     Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children"s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
young adult, they"ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
they are right now they need to separate from you.
     Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.
Let them know clearly that it"s not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it"s because it"s
a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
     When they"re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.
