7．The United States is faced with serious traffic problems．Too many cars travel on the freeways to and from the city．This heavy traffic causes delays and lots of pollution from cars that are using their engines but not moving anywhere．Many cars going nowhere is called a"traffic jam．"
While many cities in the United States have traffic problems，some of the worst are in Los Angeles，California．Los Angeles is a big city with a large downtown area．One of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get around
Experts say one possible solution to the traffic problem in Los Angeles would be to make
people want to use the public transportation system of buses instead of their own cars．People say the buses should be made easier，faster，less costly and more dependable than driving a car．
One suggestion is to reduce the cost of riding the bus．People who usually drive their cars could save a lot of money on gas and parking costs．Also，Los Angeles could make the buses easier for people to use．The buses could travel to more places in the city．And there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive in．These changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car．
Other experts have said that the best way to ease traffic problems is to charge people money to drive on the freeways．These charges，or tolls，would be for the most crowded roads．The tolls would be in effect during the times of day when most people drive to work and home again．These times in the morning and late afternoon are called"rush hour"．People would try to avoid driving on these roads，which would decrease the amount of traffic．Also，the money collected from these tolls could be used to improve the roads and public transportation system．

36．The passage mainly discussesB．
A．different means of transportation of the United States
B．possible solutions to solving American traffic problems
C．causes of the serious traffic problems in America
D．some new laws about American public transportation
37．Which is NOT the effect caused by the heavy traffic？A
A．Too many private cars．
B．Time wasting．
C．Serious air pollution．
D．Traffic jams．
38．The reason why Los Angeles has some of the worst traffic problems is thatC．
A．there is a lack of public transportation
B．the city is big with a large population
C．most people like to get around by car
D．many people like to travel there for shopping
39．One of the ways the experts suggest is thatC．
A．people should avoid driving to work and home
B．more roads should be built for the increasing private cars
C．people should be charged on the most crowded roads during rush hour
D．more special lanes on the freeways should be marked out for private cars
40．According to the passage，if the solutions were carried out，D
A．more cars would be reduced and more roads would be built
B．it would be easier but slower to take buses than to drive cars
C．many people would prefer to walk around rather than drive cars
D．the roads and public transportation system would be greatly improved．

19．The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby．Almost from the moment it is born，the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother．During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its environment，particularly if that object also gives it milk．After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on"mother"-the real mother or the mother-substitute．
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby．The Harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes-one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire．If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother．However，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites．Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother．
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？Something that the Harlows called contact  comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is．Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers'skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can．Whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body．Wire doesn't"rub"as well as does soft cloth．Prolonged （長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的）"contact comfort"with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk．
According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust．If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be．It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball．If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life．After a few minutes of contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure．It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well．Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its"mother．"
29．Psychologically，what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two
weeks of its life？A
A．Warmth                  B．Milk                 C．Contact               D．Trust
30．After the first two weeks of their life，baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to
the wire mother because the former isD．
A．larger in size                                       B．closer to them
C．less frightening and less disturbing     D．more comfortable to rub against
31．It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure，D．
A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B．it spends more time screaming to get rewards
C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around
32．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
A．give the reasons for the experiment
B．present the findings of the experiment
C．introduce the method of the experiment
D．describe the process of the experiment．

2．One afternoon in December 2013，Lauren Robinson walked into her eighth-grade science class，and immediately knew something was wrong．A wave of dizziness washed over her and    she started to vomit（嘔吐）．Worst of all，Lauren was soon struggling to breathe．
Since birth，Lauren has suffered from an allergy（過(guò)敏癥）to dairy products．But she had not eaten any dairy products that day，and in her science class，there were no dairy products in sight．Hours earlier；there had been a pizza party in the room，but every surface had been wiped down．What no one realized was that invisible particles of cheese still hung in the air．
After her attack in science class，Lauren was rushed to the hospital．She made a full recovery，but the idea of returning to school seemed so dangerous that Lauren and her family decided she would not go back．Instead，a teacher started coming to her house．Lauren was safe，but she missed her friends．
Then Lauren and her family learned about a possible solution：a remote-controlled robot that Lauren could send to school in her place．Lauren became excited by the way the robot-called VGO-allowed her to interact with others．

12．Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war？War is an ancient institution，-which has existed for at least six thousand years．It was always bad and usually foolish，but in the past human race managed to live with it．Modern inventiveness has changed this．Either man will end war，or war will end man．For the present，it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger，but bacteriological（使用細(xì)菌的）or chemical weapons may，before Iong，offer an even greater threat．If we succeed in ending nuclear weapons，our work will not be done．It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war．To do this，we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way，not as contests of force，in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in kiting people，but by agreement with principles of law．It is not easy to，change very old mental habits，but this is what must be attempted．
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology（觀念，思想意識(shí)）would prevent war．I believe this to be a big error．All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are，at best，doubtful，and at worst，totally false．Their adherents （追隨者，支持者）  believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them．
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome．It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided．Of course very difficult problems remain in the world，but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago．It has begun to be thought，even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die，that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory．It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries，but between man and the atom bomb．

64．In the sentence"To do this，we need to persuade mankind"（Para l），"this"refers toA．
A．a(chǎn)bolish war B．improve weapons
C．solve international problemsD．live a peaceful life
65．From Paragraph 2we loam that the author of the passageD．
A．is an adherent of some modern ideologies
B．does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
C．believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent war
D．does not think that adoption of any ideology could prevent war
66．The last paragraph suggests thatB．
A．nuclear war will definitely not take place
B．man begins to realize the danger ofnuclear war
C．nuclear war has already been understood by people
D．imitational agreements can be reached more easily now．

16．MELBOURNE，Australia-A kangaroo frightened by a man walking his dog attacked the pair，throwing the pet underwater and hitting the owner in the stomach with its back legs．The Australian，Chris Rickard，was in stable condition Monday after the attack，which ended when the 49-year-old struck the kangaroo in the throat．
Rickard said he was walking his blue dog，Rocky，on Sunday morning when they surprised a sleeping kangaroo in Arthur's Creek northeast of Melbourne．The dog chased the animal into a pond，when the kangaroo turned and knocked the pet underwater．
When Rickard tried to pull his dog free，the kangaroo turned on him，attacking with its back legs and tearing a deep cut into his stomach and across his face．
"I thought I might take action to drag the dog out from under his grasp，but I didn't expect him to actually attack me，"Rickard，49，told The Herald Sun newspaper．"It was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo，about 5 feet high，they don't go around killing people．"
"I was stuck having to hold on to the dog with both hands because it was half drowned and I couldn't really see anything because the kangaroo just attacked me．"
He added，"All I could do was just keep pushing for the bank and he was trying to push me under the water，so at that point I struck him in the throat and that made him back off a little bit．
"I don't think I'll ever be able to watch kangaroo programs quite the same as I used to-it might bring back a couple of bad memories．"
Kangaroos rarely attack people but will fight if they feel threatened．
Dogs often chase kangaroos，which have been known to lead the pets into water and defend themselves there．
Rickard said he ended the attack by hitting the kangaroo in the throat adding Rocky was"half-drowned"when he pulled him from the water．

17．How many times have parents had to argue with their young son or daughter about getting their face out of their phone and focusing on the world around them？It's completely normal for parents of growing children to be concerned about their child's safety，but is their addiction to social media really harming them？
Social media was created to connect people with others online and has recently been added to smartphones，making it far more accessible than it originally was．This new way to easily be able to use social media has encouraged children and teens to begin to use sites such as Facebook，Twitter，and Instagram frequently．Maturing teens and children are usually very timid（膽怯）when it comes to socializing with their families，which they sometimes view as"annoying"．So，what do these kids use as a solution or an"escape"？The answer is simple：social media．
However，when they use social media for a large amount of time，parents tend to show concern for their child and blame social media for demanding their attention．
The word，"social"，was entered into the term，social media，for a reason．Parents of growing teens don't seem to understand that．When they see their child using Twitter or Instagram they think that they are using it to get away from real world responsibilities．The truth，however，is that they are using it to connect with their close friends，make new friends，and receive information about what is currently happening in the modern world．
Children and teens are wrongly accused for using social media only for entertainment purposes and for huge amounts of time．Sure everyone who uses social media enjoys contacting their friends and viewing entertaining things，but how come children receive all of the blame for abusing it？Parents should really think about how social media can help children and teens learn and grow in the real world rather than it just being another distraction（分心事）．
Social media as a whole has both positive and negative aspects，but after all of the feedback from pre-teens，teens，and parents is put together，it shows that media is actually helping the newer generations in their lives．
28．What causes the parents to be worried about their children？B
A．Using smartphones．
