BTwo magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two of the cities listed as “the world's best. ”SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15to 26). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city's older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafes. Beautiful mountains are around the city. Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center. HONG KONG, CHINA This lively cityonce a small fishing villageis today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of the East and the West, old and new. Modern and tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There's also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small city has a large population of more than seven million! That's why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also problems. 59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about San Jose?A. The weather. B. The mountains. C. The air. D. The traffic. 60. What makes Hong Kong the world's best according to this passage?A. The lively city and the wonderful dishes. B. The large population and the traffic. C. The expensive housing. D. The beautiful temples. 61. What do the two cities have in common?A. They both have beautiful mountains. B. They both have a large population. C. Air pollution is a problem in both cities. D. They are both crowded. 62. From the passage, we can know that_. A. San Jose and Hong Kong are the only two cities of the world's bestB. housing in San Jose is not very expensiveC. the weather in both cities is fineD. San Jose used to be a small fishing villageCYou must have seen it a lot in Chinese cities: people ride electric scooters (电动滑板车) to work or for fun. Riding electric scooters could seem cool at first sight. The scooter balances by itself with one or two wheels. Some of them also have a handle(手柄). Riders lean forward to make the scooter go faster. It can also stop if the riders shift their weight backwards. However, starting from the end of August, people can no longer ride electric scooters on public roads. It is in the interests of traffic safety, according to Beijing's traffic authorities. There will be a 10 yuan fine for those who ride scooters on the road. This was followed by Shanghai's decision to get scooters off the road last month. “The onewheeled scooters can go as fast as 30 km an hour and they don't have brakes(刹车), ” a traffic policeman told Beijing Youth Daily. “The twowheeled scooters can even go as fast as cars at 60 km an hour. But their brakes cannot compete with those of a car. Scooters are likely to run into cars or buses or hurt people on the roads. ”But this doesn't mean that scooters are only dangerous on public roads. People who ride them indoors or in their living places should also be careful, according to the Beijing Consumer Association. There are still no national safety standards for electric scooters and some of them are very dangerous. The association tested more than 20 electric scooters from different companies and found that most had safety problems. 19 scooters couldn't come to a full stop in less than 4 meters. This could be very dangerous. 63. How can riders stop the scooters while driving them?A. They use the handle to stop. B. They put more weight forward. C. They lean backwards. D. They use brakes to stop. 64. What does the underlined word “those” refer to?A. Wheels. B. Brakes. C. Scooters. D. Riders. 65. Which of the following is TRUE about scooters?A. There can be either one wheel or two on scooters. B. The onewheeled scooters can even go faster than cars. C. The twowheeled scooters have the same brakes as cars. D. Scooters are not dangerous if people use them indoors. 66. What's the result of the association's test?A. Scooter companies wouldn't follow the national safety standards. B. Most companies that make scooters have safety problems. C. Scooters can't come to a complete stop by themselves. D. About 95 percent of scooters have the problem of stopping. DIt is over a year now since Cathy came to China. She is now living in Nanjing and has worked in a computer factory for six months. The factory is in the north of the city, and her flat is in the south. But, she has never been late for work. Cathy is very popular in the factory. She is kind to everybody and gets on well with the Chinese workers. After work, in the evenings they visit each other and talk about almost everything. However, Cathy has made up her mind to leave the factory. She is going to find a job in a travel agency (旅行社). “If I work in a travel agency, I'll be able to meet more people. I can learn more about China, ” she told her friends. One day last week she had a talk with the manager of the travel agency. He seemed pleased with her Chinese. At the end of the talk, he said, “I'll give you a ring in a week and tell you the result. ” Now Cathy is waiting for the answer. 67. Cathy has been in China for _. A. more than a year B. half a yearC. two and a half years D. two years68. She is _ for work. A. always late B. always on timeC. never on time D. often late69. Cathy's _ must be quite good. A. Chinese B. maths C. Japanese D. physicsEChina covers large areas and has a big population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese has become a hot one: the way people shop at markets. People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0. 25 kilograms of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes. The difference could be due to the different weather. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing (储存) food, especially
