16．London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme．It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London．
So how does it  work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key．The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in  and around central London．You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go，for he length of time you use the bike．
Transport for London，which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6，000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year．The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion in London and is expected to generate up to 40，000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre．London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses"．
However，there  have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday．On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike  properly and their usage of the bike had not registered．Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill"．Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles．
Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying，"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a gigantic pedal-powered push forwards．"

分析 本文主要介紹了倫敦市市長(zhǎng)為了緩解交通擁堵的狀況，所推出的自行車租賃項(xiàng)目；文中具體講到了該項(xiàng)目的運(yùn)作過程以及它在實(shí)施初期所遇到的問題；文章最后還提到了市長(zhǎng)面對(duì)這些問題的態(tài)度，即繼續(xù)開展將英國(guó)的首都倫敦變成世界上最大的自行車城市的活動(dòng)．

解答 CDCCD
66．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)第三段中的"The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion in London"可知，倫敦啟動(dòng)新的自行車租賃項(xiàng)目是為了緩解交通擁堵的狀況；故選C．
67．D   內(nèi)容排序題   通讀第二段可知，本段主要介紹了自行車租賃項(xiàng)目具體的運(yùn)行過程；根據(jù)"First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key"可知，首先必須得簽署租賃合同以拿到自行車鑰匙；因此"d．注冊(cè)成為會(huì)員才能得到鑰匙"應(yīng)放在第一的位置上；故排除A．B項(xiàng)；根據(jù)"You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go，for  the length of time you use the bike．（你必須支付鑰匙的存取費(fèi)，然后根據(jù)你使用自行車的時(shí)長(zhǎng)來支付費(fèi)用）可知，故排第二應(yīng)是"b．pay for the key"（支付鑰匙的存取費(fèi)用），第三是"c．cycle in and around central London"（在倫敦市中心及其周圍騎自行車）；最后"a．pay a usage charge according to the time"根據(jù)使用自行車的時(shí)長(zhǎng)來支付費(fèi)用；故選D．
68．C    細(xì)節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)第三段中的"London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme"可知，是倫敦市的市長(zhǎng)Boris Johnston 而不是志愿者推出了該項(xiàng)目，故排除A；由于B．has prepared cnough cycles available（已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備了足夠的自行車）在文中并沒有提到，故排除B；根據(jù)第三段中的"London had been‘filled with thousands of gleaming machines that…our roads as black cabs and red buses'"可知，此處表達(dá)的是市長(zhǎng)對(duì)推出自行車租賃項(xiàng)目之后的預(yù)見，因此這一說法還沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)；故排除D"已經(jīng)像出租車與公共汽車一樣普遍"；故選C．
69．C   是非判斷題    根據(jù)第四段中的"On the first day some people found…their usage of the bike had not registered"以及"Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles．"可知，該項(xiàng)目在運(yùn)行初期面臨的問題是：在第一天的時(shí)候，有一些人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們不能正確地�？克麄兊淖孕熊嚥⑶覜]有登記他們對(duì)自行車的使用；其他一些人指責(zé)了缺乏停靠站，自行車鎖以及租用自行車的費(fèi)用；其中包括了選項(xiàng) A．B．D的內(nèi)容，故選C．
70．D   細(xì)節(jié)理解題       文中第四段只是提到了該自行車租賃項(xiàng)目不夠完善的地方以及一些人對(duì)它的不滿，并沒有說此次自行車革命在啟動(dòng)時(shí)就已經(jīng)失��；故排除A與C．"倫敦所有的市民都贊成這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃"； 根據(jù)最后一段"Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive…h(huán)as taken a gigantic pedal-powered push forwards．'"可知，盡管有許多的評(píng)論，但是倫敦市市長(zhǎng)還會(huì)積極地推行他的"綠色思維"，繼續(xù)開展將英國(guó)的首都倫敦變成世界上最大的自行車城市的活動(dòng)；故排除B；故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文，把握文章大意，對(duì)文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解，能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié)，并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)判斷．

7．Being Authoritative （由權(quán)威的） Parents
Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language．Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort，we might turn out children with bright futures．But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"？
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied．Many of the studies，conducted by Diana Baumrind，a famous psychologist at the University of California，Berkeley，have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way，who sets high expectations but gives her child independence．These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically，psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved，or controlling and more involved．Why is this parenting style so successful？
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children．Carol Dweck，a social psychologist at Stanford University，has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children．In a typical experiment，Dr．Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle．Most do so with little difficulty．But then Dr．Dweck tells some，but not all，of the kids how clever they are．As it turns out，the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles．They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving．
As the experiment suggests，praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence．Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart"．Dr．Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr．Baumrind，who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference （干涉） causes better academic and emotional results．
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident．If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk，you reduce her confidence．Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting．It is easier when they are young．The potential mistakes carry greater risks，and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children．

67．According to the passage，a"tiger mom"D．
A．helps her children realize their dreams
B．speaks her children's everyday language
C．places reasonable expectations on her children
D．pays close attention to her children's experiences
68．It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayC．
A．face more challenges of children
B．foster independence in children
C．cause more problems in children
D．lead to children's academic success
69．The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB．
A．a(chǎn) good game plays a big role in training young minds
B．overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
C．puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D．bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
70．The last paragraph tells us thatC．
A．children should not be given much freedom
B．parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C．parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D．children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents．

11．Xiangzi-Lucky，in English-is appropriately named．His owner Qiu Hong，a sports marketer，lets the dog enjoy two daily walks，a collection of imported American toys，$300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment．When Ms．Qiu feels bored，she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car．
In a sense，Xiangzi is not just a dog，but a social phenomenon-and，perhaps，a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen．Twenty years ago，there were hardly any dogs in Beijing，but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed．How this came to be is，in some ways，the story of modern China as well．
"People used to be focused on improving their own lives，and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，"said Ms．Qiu．"But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks （觀念） have changed．"
Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives，but mostly Beijing dogs have，as in the West，become objects of affection-even devotion-by their owners．It's easy to find dog-treat stores，dog Web sites，dog social networks，dog swimming pools-even，for a time recently，a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row．
The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart．In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to"severely restrict"dogs．In 2003，it was changed again to allow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters  in height．And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out．
As for stir-fried Pekingese （京叭狗）-well，that dog，too，may have seen its day．A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen，who considered himself"not so much a dog lover as a China lover"．"With China developing so quickly，more people should know how to treat animals properly，"he said in a telephone interview．
 
66．What's the main idea of the first paragraph？B
A．Xiang Zi is a clever dog
B．Xiangzi lives a happy life．
C．Qiu Hong has a lot of money
D．Qiu Hong is very busy．
67．Paragraph Four mainly shows that BeijingersB．
A．live under too much pressure                                
B．love dogs very much
C．a(chǎn)re good at making money                                     
D．have modernized their city
68．Judging from the article，we can know thatA．
A．pet owners can be as devoted as the dog
B．there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003
C．Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice
D．Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only
69．Which is NOT mentioned in the article？D
A．China's economical development．
B．The psychological problems in modern society．
C．People's attitude towards animals．
D．The problems caused by dog keeping．
70．Which can be the best title of the article？C
A．Chinese Dogs Are Lucky                                          
B．Dogs Help Humans Live Better
C．Dogs Reflect China's Rise                                       
D．Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In Beijing．

8．How has smoking been controlled in recent years？
People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the King's Cross Underground fire on November 18，1987，caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31deaths，that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance．
How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place？
In 1998the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence （流行） and passive smoking，including in public places．The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out．After a public conference in England in 2004，the Government decided to choose for lawmaking．Scotland went first，with a ban in 2006，followed by the other nations a year later．
What is the current law？
Any person who smokes in enclosed public places，including pubs，offices，on public transport and work vehicles，is breaking the law．It does not extend to private houses．It is also an offence for people in charge of premises （營(yíng)業(yè)場(chǎng)所） to permit others to smoke in them．
How was it received？
It was welcomed by most organizations-except for some pub owners and restaurateurs．All railway facilities are covered，as are all football grounds and stadiums．School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation（法規(guī)），but the majority now are．
How has it been forced？
Compliance （服從） in public premises has been high，with inspections suggesting that 99per cent of places were sticking to the rules．The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low，which was due to the problems defining and identifying"work"vehicles．They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion．
Has it improved health？
Studies in early adopters of the law suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease，which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking．There is also strong evidence of a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke．

64．When did the first law come out to ban smoking in public places？D
A.1987．  B.1998．   C.2004．  D.2006．
65．Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law？C
A．Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone．
B．A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car．

5．Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment，one that will require thousands of first-time offenders-whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit-to install in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition．The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition．If the result is higher than the legal limit，the car will not start．The device also requires random"rolling retests"once the driver is on the road．
Virginia's current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars．
    The new law，which takes effect in July，will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times，and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typical six-month installation．
    The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders．Such groups as Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia's 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5，500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving．Ignition interlock devices，they say，reduce repeat offenses．But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit 0.08，and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees．
    Del．Sal R．Iaquinto，who sponsored the bill，had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises："How much does a life cost？""Blowing into a tube for six months，you will remember that，"Iaquinto said，"And you're not likely to offend again．"
66．The underlined word"ignition"in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the part in a car whereB．
A．the alarm goes off    
B．the engine starts  
C．the door opens    
D．the car is fueled
67．Who are required to install the blood alcohol devices according to the current law？C
A．The first time drunken-driving offenders．
B．The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees．
C．The repeat drunken-driving offenders．
D．Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15．
68．The reason why some defenders and lawyers oppose the new law is thatD．
A．fewer cases go to trial
B．lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
C．interlock devices increase repeat offenses
D．the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders
69．The debate aroused by the measure implies thatB．
A．prevention is better than cure               
B．no law is absolutely perfect
C．punishment is the key to all             
D．justice has long arms
70．What is Del．Sal R．Iaquinto's attitude towards the new law？D
