36.A 根据句意可知这里需要用表示让步的?连词?。?
37.C 根据上下文，该句意思是道路养护得很好。既然养护得好，那前提条件应该是原来不错，所以选smooth“平坦的”。?
38.B 以although引导的状语从句谈的都是公路好的、有利的方面。那么道路上弯道少是有利的方面。弯道是可数名词，所以选few。?
39.D 此题考查名词意义的区别。selections意为“选择”；separations意为“分离，隔开”；divisions意为把整体“分开，分割”；sections指事物的“段，部分”，铁路的“段”，所以应选sections。句意为“弯道少，直线路段多”。?
40.C 做该题应考虑到整句的意思。该句的状语从句谈的是公路好的、有利的方面。但后面的语气一转，意思就变了。所以选enjoyable。?
41.D 考查固定搭配，pass by意为“经过”，符合该句的语境。pass to意为“转到”；pass into意为“变成”；pass over意为“忽略”。?
42.B 该句的意思是“这些公路一般都连接大城市中心”。connect正是“连接，相连”的意思。而lead必须与to连用才能表达这个意思。?
43.D 这里的意思是“车辆多，交通拥挤”。heavy traffic是“交通拥挤”的意思。?
44.A 该空格所在句子是个非限制性定语从句，表示的是时间，所以选关系副词when。?
45.C 从语法角度看，这里应填副词。空格后的关联词是always,意思是“总是”。此句意思是“如果你不着急，几乎总能有另一条路可走”。almost意思是“几乎，差不多”，符合该句的意思及语境要求。?
46.B 从语法角度看，这里应填连词，引导状语从句，意思是“如果你不着急”。所以应选if。?
47.A 空格后是形容词new，该空格处应填副词。后面句子中的older是比较级，那么前面的形容词new也应有比较的意思。所以选relatively。?
50.C 该句的意思是“这些道路，有些是平坦的双车道，有些则不平坦，蜿蜒经过田野”。
51.B 该句的意思是“这些非主干道路可以爬上陡峭的斜坡，沿着悬崖延伸，或又转下可怕的山坡”。从上下文看，爬上陡峭的斜坡必然沿着悬崖延伸，而不沿着大道或小路。?
52.A lying意思是“坐落”，是lie的现在分词和动名词形式。?
53.D 从语法角度看，这是个定语从句，关系副词where修饰先行词places。?
54.C have a chance是固定词组，表示“有?机会?”。?
55.A 此句的意思是“有机会欣赏到人间清新、洁净的景色”。view意为“景色”。

I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions
Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by means of time, not miles. “ How far away is the post office?”
You ask. “Oh,” they answer, “ It’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of gibing you the direction, a Greek will often say, “ follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan think that “ I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere ---- in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!
The passage mainly tells us that ______________.
A there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
B never carry a map for travel
C there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D New Yorkers often say, “I have no idea,” but people in Yucatan, Mexico, Never say this
The passage says, “ In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions.” The word “landmark” means _______.
A street names
B building names
C hotels, markets and bus stops
D buildings or places are easily recognized
In which place do people tell distance by means of time?
A Japan B American Midwest
C Los Angeles, California. D Greece
Which of the following is wrong?
A Travelers can learn about people’s customs by asking questions about directions.
B People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions by means of time.
C A person’s body language can help you understand directions.
D People in different places always give directions in the same way: They use street names.

Joe Templer should have known better. After all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.
In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If _________________, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.
Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.
Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.
Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation（缓刑）, not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.
One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.
