第1题：
Years ago our cities were full of cars,buses and trucks．Now the streets are completely congested(拥挤的)and it is very difficult to drive a car along them．Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights．What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years?Will enormous(巨大的)motorways be built across them?With-big motorways cutting across them,full of noisy,dirty cars and lorries,our cities are going to be awful places．How can we solve the problem?
There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars．In 1989,for example,the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment:passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.
In Stockholm there was another experiment:people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus,trolley bus,train or tram in all the city.
In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles,and pedestrians are safe there.
In London there is another experiment:part of the street is for buses only,so the buses can travel fast．There are no cars or taxies in front of them.
In many cities pedestrians are now much safer because__.A.no traffic is allowed on some streets
B.traffic is computer-controlled
C.cars move very slowly
D.only one way streets are open to traffic答案：A解析：参见第四段。单词close是“关闭”的意思。 -

A:thought
B:case
C:event
D:thing答案：D解析：固定搭配the risk of表示“……的风险”，所以of为正确答案。
作者想要表达的意思是“说服人们改变他们的生活习惯”，所以change为正确答案。
联系上下文可知，这里说的是“一个解决问题的方法”,approach表示“方法，途径”，符 合句意，为正确答案。manner方式，风俗；custom风俗；style风格，样式。
这里是说要“增加停车费”,increase表示“增加”，符合句意，为正确答案。 enlarge扩大， 增大；grow生长，发展；develop发展，开发，生长。
这里说的是“违法的人将会被加大惩罚力度”,break表示“打破”，符合句意，为正确答 案。destroy破坏；refuse拒绝；reject抛弃。
这里是说“在一天中的不同时段司机被要求为使用特定的路线付费”,require表示“要 求”，符合句意，为正确答案。allow允许；advise建议；control控制。
固定搭配known as…表示“以……为人们所熟知”。
这里是说“道路收费的方法已经被一些城市所引用”,a number of表示“一些”，符合句 意，为正确答案。quantity大量；total总数；sum合计，总数。
fixed to…表示“固定在……上”，文中是说“固定在汽车的挡风玻璃上”，所以选A。其 他三项都不符合句意。
这里要表达“另一种处理这个问题的方法”,deal with problem表示“处理问题”。因此 dealing为正确答案。
联系上下文，作者后面提到“城市中心”，再根据句意，可得出前面说的是“郊区”，只有 outskirts是正确答案。
此句意为：“在旅程的最后一段司机和乘客使用一种特殊的公交服务”。service表示 "服务”，符合句意，为正确答案。station车站；route路线；fare票价。
"the most important thing”表示“最重要的事是……”，根据句意，作者要表达的是“最重 要的事情还是提供良好的公共交通”，因此thing为正确答案，其他三项均不合适。
give up表示“放弃”。根据句意“舍弃汽车的舒适感”,give up最为恰当，所以选B。
固定搭配keep at an acceptable level表示“保持在一个可接受的水平”。 -

Cities“Worse to Live in Than 20 Years Ago”
One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect cities,and the re-markable findings show that life in today's mega-cities is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.
The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems.For many people,the daily commute to work is a source of frustration.40% of the people in the sur-vey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem.Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport costs.
The general cost of living in cities is another problem.The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers.Many young people are priced out of the housing market,and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet,or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city centre .In London,for instance,the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.
Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.Crime rates have rocketed in many big cities,and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city.Fear of crime is on the increase-street crimes,such as mugging and assault,are now very common-and many are afraid of going out at night alone.
Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for children.Most major conurbations（有卫星城的大都市）surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gar- dens than a generation ago.Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets,office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces.Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated in the city,a problem which is compounded by pollution.
And finally,the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollu-lion—the roar of traffic , the sound of loud music blaring（发刺耳声）out of a neighbour's win-dow,and the constant sound of activity.It is not surprising,then,that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before .Big cities,once a mecca for ambitious people seeking fameJ and fortune,are now less and less popular among people of all ages .Perhaps the 21st century is set to be the century of the small town and the countryside.London has had some success in reducing pollution.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned答案：C解析：由第一段中的“ at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town”可知，在调查中，大多居住在大城市中的人想要迁居至乡村或小镇，即更小的地方。故选A。
由第二段末句中的“Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high”可知，很多人认为地铁和公交的收费过高。由此可知，在调查中，很多人认为公共交通的收费并不合理。故选B。
由第三段最后一句“In London, for instance, the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.”可知，因为房价太高，所以在伦敦很难买到房子。故选A。
由第四段首句“Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.”可知，犯罪率近年来并没保持稳定。故选B0
由第五段第二句“Most major conurbations surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gardens than a generation ago.”可以推断，城市中的绿化区域较之以前减少了。故选A。
通读全文可以发现文章并未提及伦敦在减少污染方面的成功案例。故选C。
由最后一段首句中的“the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollution”可以推断，受调查的很多人认为噪音污染是个大问题。故选A。 -

A:acquire
B:arrange
C:support
D:change答案：D解析：固定搭配the risk of，表示“……的风险”，所以of为正确答案。其他三项均不合适，故选A。
根据句意和动词后的介词to，排除选项A和C，而arrange表示“安排，整理”，意思与作者要表达的“说服人们改变他们的生活习惯”不符，所以D项persuade为正确答案。
联系上下文，可知这里提出的是一个解决问题的方法，approach表示“方法，途径”，指从事某事的特别方法、途径，符合句意，为正确答案。A项manner表示“方式”时，多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法；B项custom表示“风俗，习惯”；C项style表示“风格，样式”；均不符合句意，故选B。
根据句意，这里是说要“增加停车收费”,increase表示“增加”，符合句意，为正确答案。A项enlarge表示“扩大，增大”;C项grow做及物动词时表示“使生长，种植，扩展”;D项develop表示“发展，开发，生长”；均不符合句意，故选B。
根据句意，这里是说要对那些违章的人加强罚款，bring in表示“引进，增加”，为正确答案。A项carry down表示“搬下，结账，把……传下来”,B项put off表示“推迟，脱掉”,D项take away表示“带走，取走”，均不符合句意，故选C。
根据句意，将对违规的人加大惩罚力度，break the law表示“违法”，符合句意。A项cross表示“交叉；横过”;B项refuse表示“拒绝”;D项crack表示“破裂”；均不符合题意，故选C。
固定搭配be known as...，表示“以……为（人们）所熟知”。故选B。
根据句意，“道路收费”系统已经被引入一些城市来使用，a number of表示 “一些”，符合句意，为正确答案。A项a quantity of表示“大量”，可修饰可数和不可数名词，但侧重大批量计算，含精确测量的意味；B项a total of表示“总计”，C项a sum of表示“合计，总数”，均不符合句意，故选D。
be fixed to…表示“被固定在……上”，文中是说“固定在汽车的档风玻璃上”，所以选A，而其他三项都不符合句意。
根据句意，要求表达另一种处理这个问题的方法，deal with problem表示 “处理问题”，为正确答案，A项do with表示“处理，时待”时，多用于具体的事物，且一般与 what连用，如：What should I do with this old computer?（这台旧电脑我怎么处理呢？);B项 handle和C项solve都为及物动词，表示处理解决问题时，直接加宾语problem，故选D。
联系上下文，本句后半段提到“市中心”，再根据句意，可得出前面是说“郊区”，只有outskirts是正确答案，故选D。
根据上下文，只有service符合。利用特殊的公交服务，而不是公交站台(B 项）、公交路线（C项）和公交票价（D项）。所以选A。
the most important thing为惯用语，表示“最重要的事是……”，根据句意，作者要表达的是“最重要的事情还是提供良好的公共交通”，因此thing为正确答案，其他三项 均不合适，故选D。
A项pass on表示“传递，继续”;B项throw away表示“扔掉，丢弃”;C项 give up表示“放弃”;D项leave out表示“遗漏，省去”。根据句意，舍弃汽车的舒适，give up最为恰当，所以选C。
固定搭配keep at an acceptable level表示“保持在一个可接受的水平”。其他三项均不正确，故选C。 -

The City Planning
In the past,cities usually grew in a disorderly way because few cities were built according to a plan.In the late 1 800s,the idea of a"beautiful city"came into_______(51).People felt that a city should have wide street,parks,and a civic centre.People_______(52)to realize that cities need to be planned.
In the first part of the 1900s,cities began to_______(53)zoning laws.Zoning laws say what kind of building can be put up in different parts of a city.A factory cannot be put up on land _______(54)for apartments.Apartments,_______(55),cannot be built on land for houses.
Meanwhile,cities were growing rapidly and changing almost_______(56).They faced many problems.Sometimes the streets in a city caused traffic_______(57).Sometimes there were not enough schools or hospitals for all the people who needed them. As people moved_______(58)to new areas of the city,older parts of town often became run-down.
At first,citizens_______(59)groups that tried to solve the problems a city faced.Today, most large cities have city planning board_______(60)part of their city government. On the board are city_______(61)who have special training. Many of them have college_______(62)in city planning. They must know how a city's land can be_______(63)used.They_______(64)new areas of the city and decide how to improve older_______(65).City planing boards help the city meet the needs of all the people who live there._________(51)
A:vision
B:sight
C:being
D:look答案：C解析：come into being为固定搭配，意思是“形成、产生”，例如：When did the Great Britain come into being?英国是何时形成的？原文是“美丽城市”的理念应运而生，因此选C。
根据上下文判断，随着美丽城市理念的诞生，人们开始意识到城市需要被规划。come有“开始”的意思。所以此处选C最合适，其他各项均不合题意。fail失败, incline 和tend都有“倾向于”的意思。
根据词语的搭配可以知道，原文应该指的是“城市开始通过城市区划法”，三个选项中只有选项A最合适，pass有“通过”的意思，和law“法律”搭配使用正确。
空缺处需要填的是过去分词引导的定语从句，省略了which be。这里指的是被划分出来建公寓的地区不能盖工厂，zone更合适，意思是“将……划为特殊区域”。
however表示一种转折的关系。本句意思为“工厂不能建在用于盖公寓的土地上。然而，公窝也不能盖在建造大宅的土地上”。所以选项D符合。
根据前半部分即城市在快速地发展，可以判断出城市的变化也是很迅速的，选项D正确，意为“突然，很快”，与前面的rapidly呼应。
traffic jam意思是“交通堵塞”，较之选项B，选项A更符合常理，即城市里的街道会造成交通堵塞。
本句提到了老地区变得破败不堪，人们应该是搬出旧城区，搬进新的城市地区，所以选择C，后面接的介词to指“搬到……”。
只有form最适合和后面的group搭配使用。form意为“组成”，例如：The two parties formed a coalition．两个政党组成了联合政府。本句意思是“市民们组成了试图解决城市面临的问题的团体”。
三个选项中只有as适合，意思是“作为”。句子意思是“大多数的大城市都有了作为城市政府一部分的城市规划委员会”。
逻辑题。on the board意思是“委员会里”。前面提到大多数城市都有了 city planning board即“城市规划委员会”，那么委员会里必然有城市规划师，所以A正确。
degree意思是“学历”，后面常接介词in指在某专业方面的学历，原句中还有信号词college,所以选项degree最合适。level水平，qualification资质，height高度。
best这里是副词，意思是“最好地，最高标准地”，比较carefully （小心地）, suitably（合适地）以及cleverly（聪明地），选项B更为合适。原句意思是“这些城市规划师必须知道如何才能以最好的方式使用城市里的土地”。
lay out为固定搭配，意思是“规划，设计”。例如：When the local governments lay out the car parks, they must estimate the numbers of cars in these districts．当地方政府规划停车场时，他们必须先估计市区里的汽车数量。原文是“他们规划城市的新地区”。
这里的意思是“他们……决定如何来提升一个老城区”。section除了有 “部分”的意思外还指“（城市等的）地区，（街区等的）地段”。square意为“广场”,division意为“部分”,centers意为“中心”。 -
第11题：
问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.The City of the Future What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They predict that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems—more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas. How can we solve such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because rents are so high. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks. These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city. Los Angeles, California, for instance, has no subway system and the buses are slow. Instead, most commuters drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, by contrast, has a mass transit system—buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, however, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than in Los Angeles. On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast, and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use mass transit to move quickly from one part of the city to another. The disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city—that is, cities all over the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. Yet many cities have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation. Many U.S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas. Urban planners can learn from one another. They can try solutions that have been successful in other parts of the world. Summary: Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible.

For example, 4 or London has planned communities providing people with apartments, jobs and so on. Besides, many U. S. cities 5 In a word, solutions that have been successful in a place should be adopted and tried in another place.正确答案：
1.overcrowding 文章第一段第五句提到“This overcrowding will cause other problems - more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now”,题目为原文的被动语态表述,因此答案为overcrowding。
2.urban areas 文章第一段最后两句提到“Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas”,即,由于生活的艰辛,没有人愿意生活在市内。
3.see no hope 文章第二段最后一句提到“These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city”,因此答案为see no hope。
4.Stockholm 文章最后一段第三句提到“Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation”,句中Stockholm与London并列,因此答案为Stockholm。
5.rebuild downtown areas 文章最后一段中作者举例说明很多城市已经找到了解决城市存在的问题的方法,美国城市即所举例子之一。倒数第三句提到:“Many U. S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas”,同时考虑到答案不能超过三个词,可知答案为rebuild downtown areas。解析： 暂无解析 -
