Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehenstion Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or "bike". In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people ride bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the down town section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes -- for bicycles only -- on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea, they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea -- they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park -- the largest piece of open ground in New York -- is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycle only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
[解析] 推理判断题。文章前文指出自行车提倡者建议政府开辟自行车专用道,但Not everyone thinks it is a good idea,they say it will slow traffic,taxi driver是其中的一员,不赞成,认为这样会使交通更慢。从而我们可知道出租车司机喜欢快的交通。
3. Bike for a Better City members ______.
A.ride bicycles to play
B.drive all the cars away from the city
C.buy so many bikes
D.ride bicycle to work
A B C D
D

[解析] 事实细节题。文章指出Bike for a Better City组织有一项主张就是向政府主张建一条专门为骑自行车的人开辟的道,但是政府并没有采纳叫But no bicycle lanes have been drawn,从而我们可推知答案为[B]。
5. A street with a lot of traffic and business
A.is called a downtown street
B.is called a uptown street
C.is called a bank street
D.is called a stock street
A B C D

[解析] 推理判断题。通读上下文,我们可知Bike for a Better City组织希望政府在交通很拥挤,商业很繁荣的市区开辟自行车专用道,而商贩和汽车司机都不赞同,文中多次提到 downtown,我们可推知繁华街道即是downtown。
Task 2 In the world in which we live today, a man may be one thing but appear to be another. This was impossible in Indian society. An Indian's name told the world what he was -- a coward, a liar, a thief, or a brave. When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. It described something that had happened at that time. Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy, his life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name. A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was ver y brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names -- all good and each better than the last. All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.
1. According to the passage, Indian names were important because they ______.
A.described the character of a man
B.described the appearance of a man
C.were never used by other people
D.told us his profession
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章中的An Indian’s name told the world what he was—a coward, a liar,a thief,or a brave.可推知答案。从这句话中我们可知名字描述的是他的性格,而不是长相和职业。选项[A]为答案。
2. ______ gave the second name of an Indian.
A.The chief
B.The tribe
C.His childhood friends
D.His parents
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章But his friends would always give him a name Of their own.可推知答案。文章指出印第安人一生中至少有三个名字,第一个名字是出生时取的,而小时候的朋友会再给他取名,从而可推知这是他的第二个名字。
3. According to the fourth paragraph, we know an Indian's "tribal name" refers to his ______.
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy,he was given a better name.可知[A]为正确答案。
5. The sentence in the sixth paragraph ”no one could pass on his name" may mean that ______. A. no one could change his name by himselfB. no one could give his name to a son C. no one could give his name away D. no one could give up his name
A B C D
C
[解析] 语义理解题。根据题干中的关键词no one could pass on his name我们可找到文章的相关出处,文中最后一段指出Even he himself could not give them away,答案[C]是对此的同义转换。
