    At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.
    Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour .In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
    One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car, and not one of them saw it.
    They reached a hill; but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.
    “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.
    “Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.
    “One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.
    “Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.
    “I’ve often wanted a ride in one; but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.
    “Jump in,” said Rolls.
    “Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “you can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”
    60．The policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that        .
    A．they could watch the car coming from the other direction
    B．the car could go faster than four miles an hour
    C．they could make sure no one was in the way
    D．the car would not hit them on the road
    61．In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?
    A．They greeted Rolls when the car came along.
    B．They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.
    C．They pretended to be attracted by something else.
    D．They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.
    62．The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to       .
    A．teach Rolls a lesson                                  B．take a free ride home
    C．have a talk with Rolls                               D．have a car ride experience
    63．After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls       .
    A．dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to
    B．could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance
    C．could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey
    D．drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge

    60.B 61.C   62.D   63.B

    60.解析：这是一道推测题。Rolls想开快一点，所以才与警官交谈。警官命令警察当这辆车过的时候看别的路，因此推断这辆车可以超速。
    61.解析：这是一道细节题。从第三段说“当警察听见这辆车来的时候，他们开始对墙和前面的商店感兴趣”。
    62.解析：文中讲到警察很有兴趣地看着车，并且满怀期望地看着Rolls说他想开车，但是警察不能买车。并且后来他上了Rolls的车，因此判断他想体验乘车的感觉。
    63.解析：最后一段，警察坐下以后说“你可以随心所欲地下山。1.5英里内没有别的警察”，
    因此是一定距离内。

    In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman named Atsuko Saeki When she was a teenager, she 36 of going to the United States. Most of what she knew about American  37  was from the textbooks she had read.

    Six years have passed. Atsuko is back in Japan, working as a salesclerk. "I have  52 forgotten the words." she said. "When things are not going so well, I think of them."
    She is sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness   53 to her.  "He probably doesn't even remember it," she said. That may be the lesson.

    Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员),though-just an English teacher in Japan.
    I came to Japan two years ago, and didn't think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s  best to teach in a biggest city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
    I teach English  privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course  first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
    Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
    The schools are reluctant to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
    56.From the passage we know in Japan the write likes to live in_______.
    A.Tokyo                            B.a small town                     C.a city of middle site                  D.a big city
    57.According to the writer, one had better________first to do private teaching better.
    A.take a TEFL course                                             B.decide his or her own lessons
    C.find students                                                      D.build up a full schedule
    58.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that_______.
    A.there are many foreigners in Japan                  B.Japan is good for nightlife
    C.they can teach English privately in Japan 
    D.Japan has something more attractive than expected
    59.The underlined word“reluctant”in the passage may probably mean_____.
    A.kind                        B.unwilling                 C.free                                       D.careless

    注意：每空不超过3个单词。
    Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
    One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
    Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
    To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily ---- many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
    Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem..
