No matter how small and obscure (模糊的) the street is, 38 will be able to get you there without any 39 . The reason London taxi drivers are so 40 is that they have all gone through a very rough training period known as “the knowledge” to get the special license （许可证） 41 to drive taxis.

To 45 this, most learners go around the city 46 small motorbikes, practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Going around London on a small motorbike can have its problems, particularly during the winter. Collin Sinclair, 40, who has been a taxi driver for 15 years, described his 47 period as a time of 48 , sweat and tears. “There was thick snow everywhere and I had to 49 my mother’s tights (紧身裤) because I was so cold,” he said.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20题；每小题2分，共40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 You have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death. Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the use of horses. Modern vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things. In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse. 1. The passage mainly talks about ______. A. engines B. safe driving C. using horses D. modern machines 2. The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means ______. A. repair B. raise C. push forward D. made 3. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. a driver must know the rules of safety B. a driver needs to be able only to tell red from green C. an eye test is an important part of a driver’s examination D. greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine 4. Which of the following is NOT true? A. A driver must be able to see and hear well. B. The driver of a car must follow the rules of safety. C. Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injury. D. It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engine.

More than 20,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half. Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind. However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing(倒退) your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid（正当的） medical certificate（ 证书）which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these cases supply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court you have been excused from wearing. 1. This passage is probably taken from ______. A. medical magazine B. a legal document C. a textbook D. a government information booklet 2. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ______. A. reduces road accidents by more than half B. reduces the death rate in traffic accidents C. saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour D. saves more than 16,000 lives each year 3. It is the driver’s responsibility to ______. A. make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt B. make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt C. stop children from riding in the front seat D. wear a seat belt each time he drives 4. For some people, it may be better to ______. A. pay a fine rather than wear a seat belt B. wear a seat belt for health reasons C. (not to) wear seat belt for health reasons D. get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat belt

The bicycle is the common sight in our daily life, as a great many Chinese use one every day. But you may not know its role in strengthening international relations, as it did in the case of US President George W. Bush’s visit to China . President Bush arrived in Beijing on November 19, 2005 after he finished the APEC meeting in South Korea.He met with Chinese top leaders and achieved agreements on trade, Taiwan issue and more. Although Bush’s trip was short as 40 hours, he managed to spare a moment to do some cycling. On November 20, he rode up and down a steep path at Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing’s suburbs. Six young Chinese cyclists accompanied the president, who was dressed in a Chinese training uniform with the “Beijing 2008” logo (标志). He did not go along the arranged route and chose a more zigzag(曲折的) hiking path. “How do you say, ‘take it easy on the old man’?” Bush joked to his partners before setting out. “Compared with my bike path on the Crawford ranch (农场) , this one is greater and really difficult,” said Bush when his 45-minute ride ended. He said he will come to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games. This is not Bush’s first cycle ride in Beijing. In 1975 at the age of 29, he visited the Chinese capital for the first time, when his father was head of the US liaison office (联络处) in Beijing, which Bush described as “fantastic”. However, observers said Bush’s ride is much more than just his favorite pastime. It expressed friendliness with people in China, where the bicycle is an important part of life and culture. According to the Washington Post, one of the major newspapers in the US, this was a specially arranged activity by the US Government, for they want to send the Chinese a sign of friendship. “The president is by no means hostile (有敌意的) to China,” it said. 1. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Every Chinese has at least one bicycle B. The bicycle is the common sight in our daily life C. Bicycle can play a role in improving relationship between nations D. President George W. Bush is fond of cycling 2. President George W. Bush went cycling ______. A. wearing a T-shirt with the “Beijing 2008” logo B. up and down a path on Laoshan Mountain C. accompanied by six young Chinese policemen D. along a more challenging way without arrangement 3. Bush said “take it easy on the old man” to his partners probably because ______. A. he wanted to make them easy B. he wanted to make a joke about them C. he wanted to tell them it would be a more zigzag hiking path D. he wanted to show them it would be a easy task for an old man 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Bush’s first cycle ride was in 1975. B. Bush’s ride was specially arranged by the Washington Post. C. Bush’s ride is more a sign of friendship than just his favorite pastime. D. Bush will come to Beijing to take part in the Olympic cycling games in 2008.

I love exploring new places. Whether I travel across America or around the world，a new adventure is always waiting. What I don’t always enjoy is the time spent 9,000 meters（30,000 feet）in the air. Tight spaces, long hours, and unexpected-problems can make air travel stressful. Follow these six tips to make your next flight a braze. 1. Make a checklist. Before you pack，make a checklist of everything you need and mark item off as you put them in your bag. Be sure you include important documents, such as your passport. 2. Pack light. You don’t need to pack your whole closet. Choose clothes that mix and match for more variety. Wear your largest shoes on the place to save room in your bag. And pack a few old items that you can leave behind to make more room for souvenirs(纪念品) on the way home. 3. Carry on essential （基本的）items. Unfortunately, dependable baggage service is hard to come by. When you fly, be sure to pack your medicine, important documents, and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag. 4. Pack water and snacks. No one wants to get stuck on a runway for hours without food, water. But bad weather or mechanical problems could leave you stranded（进退两难的）. Pack water and crackers in your carry-on. But leave fresh foods at home. Most countries won’t allow you to bring them across their borders. 5. Stretch your legs. More and more travelers suffer from blood clots caused by sitting too long in tight spaces. You can help prevent this problem by doing stretches in your seat taking short walks every hour. 6. Entertain yourself. A long trip can either mean hours of boredom or an exciting adventure. Plan ahead to keep yourself busy with books，magazines and portable CD player. Just don’t forget to bring extra batteries. Research airlines before you book your reservations. For just a few dollars more，some airlines offer personal entertainment systems. Singapore Air gives you nearly 70 choices of movies，music channels, and other entertainment！ With a little planning ahead，you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the ride. 1. It is advised by the writer in this passage to _____ for your flight. A. pack all the things you will need B. leave your important documents behind C. carry some fresh foods with you D. take some books, magazines and CD players 2. Which of the following tips isn’t mentioned in this passage？ A. Researching airlines before reservations. B. Staying still during the whole flight. C. Carrying some water and essential items. D. Making a list of the things you need. 3. The underlined phrase “come by” in tip 3 probably means _____. A. receive by chance B. obtain by effort C. pass by D. offer in satisfaction 4. We can conclude from this passage that _____. A. you will get sick during the long flight hours B. old items are not allowed to bring back on the way home C. you are not allowed to carry things as freely as you want D. you can also board the plane without your passport

第II卷 非选择题 （两部分，共35分） 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意：每空格1 个单词。 Wealthy Chinese do not have a good reputation（=fame）, a survey by China Youth Daily and Sina.com has found. The poll（民意调查）, conducted last week, showed about 70 percent of 3,990 interviewees believe the well-off are immoral and not worthy of respect. Only 4 percent thought rich people are good, the survey said. For the rich, to become popular, they need to do three things, the survey suggested. First, they need to have a sense of social responsibility. Second, they need to be self -disciplined, and third, they need to have a caring heart. The number of people who make at least $50,000 a year increases by 15 percent a year and, according to the China Economic Times, the country now has 1.5 million rich people. The China Youth Daily and Sina.com survey found interviewees questioned how the rich became rich in the first place. “Some rich people are thought to have accumulated（积累） their wealth through illegal means, such as bribery,” said a post-graduate student at the Communication University of China. Even so, the survey found wealthy people who abide by（遵守） the law, have a sense of social responsibility and a caring heart, are respected. The poll showed about 60 percent thought these kinds of wealthy people were worthy of respect. The survey suggested many voters were much better disposed（怀有好感的）toward rich people from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Western economies——rather than the mainland. Hong Kong property tycoon（大亨） Li Ka-shing was most highly regarded, followed by Bill Gates, mainland property tycoon Wang Shi and basketball player Yao Ming. “Rich people on the mainland invest too little in charity and gain too much,” a student from Beijing Sports University said. Yu Guoming, a professor at Renmin University of China, called on the heads of Chinese companies to think and invest in a long-term way. “Social responsibility is not only about charity, it also connects the company with the government and the public.”
