    B 

    In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.

    For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes（车道）for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

    But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some storeowners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.

    The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest place of open ground in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.

    But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

    65. In New York, a group of bike riders______.

    A. are keeping practising for health

    B. have no cars of their own

    C. are complaining（埋怨）there are not enough buses

    D. are trying to settle the problem of air pollution

    66. The bike riders suggest that______.

    A. bicycles should be used instead of cars

    B. bicycle lanes should be drawn

    C. fewer buses or cars should be used

    D. the number of special lanes should be increased

    67. The advantage of the special lanes is that______.

    A. they will make cars and buses run slowly

    B. they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks

    C. they will make the city more beautiful

    D. the lanes will prevent accidents

    68. The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn______.

    A. so that everyone is disappointed

    B. because there are different opinions

    C. because most people travel by train

    D. because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough

    Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, although my husband and I sometimes sneak one late at night with a glass of milk. I believe that the success of this 31 lovedconcoction(混合物) lies not in the brand of peanut butter,  32  in the jelly. The right jelly  33  the palate, and homemade is the only choice.

    My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family. This limited choice was a welcome   34  in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. All I did was to  35  baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would seal with wax(蜡) and  36  back home with us.  37  I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich , all I had to do was reach for one of little jars.

    My father-in-law died several years ago and this past December, she also  40 . Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the  41  canned goods.

    The other day I reached my pantry(储物间) for jelly for a quick sandwich. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly, whose lid was  42  in places.  43   on it were “GR” for grape and the year when the jelly was made.

    As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had  44  to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from the  45 , loving hands . We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at table without  46  about those thousands of little jars she had filled. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was  47   for granted.

    No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family  48 . We have hundreds of pictures and many more memories that we expect to   49  the years and to pass on to our children. The jar of jelly won’t keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or  50  ...but not today.

    The modern mobile phone is a more complex version of the two way radio, which was a very limited means of communication. As soon as the users moved out of range of each other’s broadcast area, the signal was lost. In the 1940s, researchers began experimenting with the idea of using a number of radio masts (天线塔) standing around the countryside to pick up signals from two-way radios.

    The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper, the scientist who invented the modern mobile handset. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. The streets of modern cities began to feature sharpsuited characters shouting into giant plastic bricks. In Britain the mobile phone quickly became synonymous (等于) with the “yuppie”, the new breed of young urban professionals who carried the expensive handsets as status symbols. Around this time many of us swore that we would never, ever own a mobile phone.

    But in the mid-90s, something happened. Cheaper handsets and cheaper calling rates meant that, almost overnight, it seemed that everyone had a mobile phone. And the giant plastic bricks of the 80s had evolved into smooth little objects that fitted nicely into pockets and bags. Cities suddenly had a new, postmodern birdsong.

    Alexander Graham Bell would be amazed if he could see how far the science of telephony has progressed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: “That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.”

     

    60．Modern mobile phone technology is based on         .

           A．the “yuppie”                                        B．the Internet

           C．the two way radio                               D．global positioning system

    61．More people bought mobile phones in the 1990s because          .

           A．they were bad at timekeeping

           B．they wanted to take photographs

           C．mobile phones became a lot cheaper

           D．traditional phones didn’t work anymore

    62．The underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 3 probably means         .

           A．broken                B．changed              C．cut                     D．taken

    63．What does the text message “Gr 8! Will call U 2nite.” mean?

           A．Great ! I’ll call you tonight.

           B．Great! I’ll be two minutes late.

           C．Great! Please call William tonight.

           D．Great! Please call me sometime tonight.
