    Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.

    The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jams. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage（杠杆作用）to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.

    Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the city’s total area.

    The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.

    According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment in transportation will go towards public transit（公共交通）construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout（布局）by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.

    The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.

    Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.

    40. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the

    downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to _______.

    A. take buses or subways             

    B. take a taxi

    C. drive the car quickly        

    D. park his car in a place which asks for no fees

    41. According to this passage, when more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to ________.

    A. save time                                             B. cause traffic jams

    C. cause traffic accidents                            D. reduce air pollution

    42. The aim in building new city centers is to ________.

    A. make it convenient for people to go shopping

    B. develop its local resources

    C. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown

    D. solve the problem of more laid-off workers

    43. The passage suggests the author _________.

    A. is tired of driving to work

    B. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive

    C. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic congestion（拥挤）

    D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day

    A
    Events took place around the world last week to celebrate International Women’s Day.
    The March eighth observance came as thousands of delegates from one hundred thirty countries met at the United Nations in New York. They discussed progress on a plan of action for women's equality. The document was approved ten years ago at a conference in Beijing.
    It calls for improved health care for women, along with economic and political gains. It also calls for efforts to reduce human rights violations against women.
    In Asia last Tuesday, there were demonstrations against unfair treatment of women.
    In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held a Conference of Women Leaders. Laura Bush, the president's wife, spoke at the event which had representatives from fifteen Muslim nations. The first lady praised recent political gains for Muslim women.
    In Afghanistan, for example, President Hamid Karzai has appointed the first female governor of a province. In Iraq, women hold almost one-third of the 249 seats in the newly elected National Assembly. And Missus Bush noted that nearly half the voters in the Palestinian presidential election were women.
    International Women’s Day began in nineteen ten in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was designed to build support for voting rights for women worldwide. Missus Bush noted that it took American women many years to be recognized as full citizens with the right to vote.
    Last week, just before International Women Day's, hundreds of women and men demonstrated in Kuwait to demand the right for women to vote. The government urged parliament to act quickly to debate such reforms.
    Also last Monday, Human Rights Watch released a report on sexual violence by soldiers and members of armed groups in eastern Congo.

    Four in 10 Chinese complain about the great gap between large investments in education and its returns, a recent nationwide survey has showed.
    The Horizon Research Consultancy Group polled 3,355 residents aged 16 to 60 in both urban and rural areas, including Beijing and Shanghai.
    The survey found that only 16 percent of respondents believed their investments on education gave good returns.
    Those with higher education voiced greater disappointment at the quality of education received, the survey showed.
    People in the rural areas generally gave more positive feedback（反馈）on the quality of education than those from the cities, the survey found.
    "Our education has been focusing on an examination-oriented system," Huo Qingwen, the deputy director of language education testing service center under the Beijing Foreign Studies University, told China Daily yesterday.
    "The survey result doesn't surprise me, as I had heard complaints not only from the students, but also from the teachers who have been asked to focus more about the exam-passing rate," Huo said.
    "The job market is still hungry for talented staff, but many graduates are not competent(胜任的) because the posts require more practical experience and creative ability of workers," Huo added.
    Most university graduates prefer jobs in large cities, causing an imbalance in human resources between urban and rural areas, Hong said.
    The graduates would get better job options if they chose to work at the grassroots (基础的) level because of the government's preferential policies, including the waiving of tuition for those willing to work in the country's rural and western regions, he added.
    About 580,000 graduates last year found county- or village-level jobs, and more than 550,000 got jobs in the central and western regions, Ministry of Education figures showed.
    "Because many graduates focus only on jobs with high salaries and that are directly relevant to their specialties, they miss other good work opportunities," Kong Xiang, a Beijing graduate who works as an English teacher in a college located at a remote area in Yunnan province, said.
    The recent survey showed that education costs form one-quarter of an urban family's income, while it forms one-third of a rural family's income.
    46．According to the passage, most people think that _______
    A. the investments in education gave them good returns.
    B. the investments in education don’t bring them good results.
    C. college students are satisfied with their the education received.
    D. People in the cities are more satisfied with the quality of education than those in the rural areas.
    47．Which of the following is NOT mentioned?
    A. China’s education has been focusing on an examination-oriented system .
    B. Both the teachers and students are asked to pay more attention to the exam-passing rate.
    C. The job market now does not lack university graduates.
    D. Most university graduates enjoy hunting jobs in large cities.
    48. What would happen to the graduates if they chose to work at the grassroots level?
    A. They would get higher salaries.                        B. They would get lower salaries.
    C. Their tuition would be free.                           D. They would get better job choices.
    49. How much does the education cost according to the survey ?
    A. One-third of a family's income.
    B. one-quarter of a rural family's income.
    C. 25% of an urban family's income.
    D. Three in ten a rural family's income.
    50. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.
    A. The gap between investments in education and its returns
    B. Education and university graduates
    C. China’s higher education
    D. Education costs

    The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry.
    Sources at the Beijing People’s Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city’s laid-off workers. The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise (监督) property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for industrialization home services. This will create job opportunities for laid-off workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference.
    Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining.
    In the past, few laid-off workers in Beijing desired to work as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laid-off workers.
    By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40’s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics (准则) shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades. They never imagined being laid off by state owned enterprises; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector (部门) meant taking risks; house-keeping implied lower social status. Gao Yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month. So she no longer worries about her daughter’s tuition at a university in Shanghai.
    1. What is talked about in the passage?
    A. Home service.          B. Modern city life.              C. Laid-off workers.      D. Social status.
    2. What does the word “ laid-off” in the passage mean?
    A. Heavily-burdened.    B. Old                          C. Inexperienced.          D. Jobless.
    3.    Why didn’t the laid-off workers like to do home services in the past?
    A. Low salary.                                                        B. Lower social status.  
    C. Dirty working condition.                              D. Too much extra work.
    4.    Why were many laid-off workers at a loss?
    A. Because they didn’t get used to the new way of life.     
    B. Because they are too old to find a new job.
    C. Because they dislike being laid off. 
    D. Because they think they lost their social status.

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    During an exhibition show the skills of disabled people, an armless man used his mouth and feet to repair a watch. He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show, which was held in Beijing last Saturday. Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch. You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill.
    It was reported that 28-year-old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17. He has repaired more than 10,000 watches in the past 11 years.
    What strong self-confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill! What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life! And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life! Such confidence, optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays. Wang has set a good example for young people.
    But today's youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals. . That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere. One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society. People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits. While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains, the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses.
    This pleasure-seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media. The media devote excessive too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars, which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public, especially young people.
    Ours is a developing country. Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development. We cannot afford to lose time. We need to make our economy more powerful. To meet this need, all of us should maintain our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties.
    56. A particular mention made of Wang Jianghai’s story in the first two paragraphs _____.
    A. serves as a description of the trend today  
    B. serves as an introduction to the discussion
    C. shows a disagreement of views    
    D. show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers
    57. Which of the following is the reason for young people’s increasing interest in entertainment?
    A. Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses.
    B. Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completely
    C. Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all.
    D. Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media.
    58. The underlined word “hedonism” (paragraph 4) means “________”.
    A. a material                                                 B. spiritual gains
    C. thinking pleasure is the most important            D. amusement
