13、(Multiple Choice)(每小题：1 分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely dema

14、nding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty ye

15、ars service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. It was hot that summer: 100 Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30 hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet werent touching the floor. I couldnt blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my

16、eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didnt even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the ba

17、ck, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old ladys neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a

18、shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a univer

19、sity student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. 1.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employee

20、s.2.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasnt tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D.

22、 that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards

23、against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life,

24、but todays ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them. As defense against these developments, city dwel

25、lers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pl

26、easure. Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond. Present

27、-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their

28、 familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort sh

29、ould be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks. 6.According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are _.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime7.The author

30、 thinks that crime is increasing in cities because _.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC. people feel anonymous thereD. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals8.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to

31、 quit from the inner areas because they _.A. dislike having to travel far to workB. have been forced by circumstances to do soC. dont like the idea of living in the suburbsD. have turned against society9.Architectural changes have affected city life by _.A. scattering long-established communitiesB.

32、giving the individual a say in planningC. forcing people to live on top of each otherD. making people move to the suburbs10.The authors general argument is that urban life would be improved by _.A. moving people out of tower blocksB. restoring old buildingsC. building community centersD. preserving

33、existing social systemsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparents farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers

34、 and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university. I didnt get my first camera until after Id graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didnt know any

35、thing about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print. Ive tried from the beginning to produce pictures

36、 which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you dont pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing youre doing it. There can be a lot of ignorance in peoples behavi

37、our towards wild animals and its a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they wont get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else ha

38、s photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers. Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoy

39、able pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. 11.The author decided to go to university and study Zoology because _.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmoth

43、.Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives and what they see on TV-if they

44、 are even able to watch TV. The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes. Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as hes arrested, the story is over. In
