Dear editor,

I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic. Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some advices.

For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For other, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, that can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is what the number of private cars should be put under the control. Meanwhile, buses should have its own special routes which cannot be using by other vehicles. Therefore, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.

I do hope my suggestions will be taken.

Yours,

Li Hua

Signing up for a digital TV service provides you with access to over 200 channels from all over the globe. However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed form the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.

Discovery Channel

Discovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. What National Geographic does in a scholastic(學(xué)術(shù)的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner—educating the masses about anything and everything.

Fox Family

Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.

Nickelodeon

A channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5 and up.

ABC Family

ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.

Living

If travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living. Kids can see never-seen-before sights, learning about new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about motorbikes.

A. can keep people away from TV violence

Instagram is containing so many photos of food — now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.

I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. The Picture House' is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's ‘Food for Life' campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers paid by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.

1.Instagram probably is ________.

A．a(chǎn) restaurant free of charge

B．a(chǎn) program used to share photos

C．a(chǎn) new marketing project

D．a(chǎn) campaign of “Food for Life”

2.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to ________.

A．create a new social media trend

B．raise the price of frozen food

C．a(chǎn)ttract more customers

D．reward the regular customers

3.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A．No Need to PayB．The Pop-up Diner

C．Food for LifeD．Pay by Picture

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆貴州遵義航天高中高三第一次模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

There have always been laws against copying other people’s ideas. However, when copying was only limited to copying something by hand, problems were solved easily. The solution was always the destruction or removal of the copy. Nowadays, the rise of the Internet has made the issue of intellectual property (知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)) more complicated.

Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted(粘貼) with a few clicks of a mouse. Many art forms such as writings, films, and music need new protection to ensure that people do not simply transfer them for free. Online illegal copying has been blamed for a huge reduction in the sales of many records because it is hard to convince people to buy something that they can get for free. Even the ideas behind traditional games, such as Scrabble, have been used without the owners’ permission.

Old laws have been struggling to keep up. While music companies have been successful in persuading courts that action should be taken against people who illegally download music, the law is difficult to carry out. Furthermore, intellectual property rights vary widely from country to country, so it’s up for debate which laws apply. Finally, there is the fact that many people simply do not see the act as theft(盜竊), since once the work has been digitized there is no clear physical object to steal in the first place.

All of these issues mean that companies involved with intellectual property — ideas or easily digitized information — are fighting desperately to get people to pay for the information they use, rather than paying for an object like a CD that they use. While the companies have sometimes been successful, the practical barriers to full protection seem insurmountable.

Finally, all that concerned parties can do is hope that their few successes scare off others and try to find new ways of making money.

1.Why do writings, films, and music need protection？

A. They are very expensive.

B. They are impossible to copy.

C. It is easy to make CDs, books, and movies.

D. They are easily able to be transferred when in digital form.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of carrying out intellectual property rights?

A. Laws are not the same in all countries.

B. People do not see copying information as theft.

C. It is very hard to catch people who are breaking the law.

D. Internet service providers do not want to cooperate with the police.

3.The underlined word “insurmountable” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.

A. extremely expensive B. impossible to overcome

C. against the law D. hard to prove

4.What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Music and films will be unnecessary in the future.

B. New laws are necessary but difficult to put into practice.

C. The Internet is likely to become more important in the future.

D. Laws are just a way for greedy companies to control their products.
