A

1970 was World Conservation（自然保護(hù)）Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve” nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can’t live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.

What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No one’s going to change our world”. It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.

41．“ No one’s going to change our world ” was ______.

A．a(chǎn)n important book published in 1970

B．a(chǎn)n idea that nobody would accept

C．a(chǎn) record calling on people to conserve nature

D．a(chǎn) rule worked out by the United Nations

42．What is the most important thing for us to do to save our world?

A．We should plant more trees and flowers.

B．we should clean the banks of our rivers.

C．we should know what will happen in the future.

D．we should know what we must do and begin to do it now．

43．What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．1970 was World Conservation Year.

B．The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger.

C．Conservation is necessary.

D．It is the young people who are helping to save our world.

D

Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots（停車場(chǎng)）beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.

The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jams. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage（杠桿作用）to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.

Car owners living in the suburbs（郊區(qū)）will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the city’s total area.

The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.

According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment in transportation will go towards public transit（公共交通）construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout（布局）by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.

The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.

Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.

52. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to ____.

A. take buses or subways      B. take a taxi

C. drive the car quickly  D. park his car in a place which asks for no fees

53. According to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to ____.

A. save time                         B. cause traffic jams

C. cause traffic accidents      D. reduce air pollution

54. The aim in building new city centers is to ____.

A. make it convenient for people to go shopping

B. develop its local resources

C. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown

D. solve the problem of more laid-off workers

55. The passage suggests the author ____.

A. is tired of driving to work

B. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive

C. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic congestion

D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day
