For just an hour or two, your cheapest option will be a Hubway, Boston‘s hourly rental bikes. In fact, if you use it for half an hour or less, you won‘t pay anything beyond the ―casual‖ sign-up fee.For safety, you‘ll need to get a helmet. Most CVS and Walgreens in the city sell them for about $10-12. (Wondering if you really need a helmet? Don‘t even think about not wearingone—Boston drivers are CRAZY!)If you‘re planning to ride for more than a couple of hours, you‘ll probably save money by getting your wheels at a bike rental shop. Here are a couple of high-regarded bike rental businesses in central Boston:Urban AdvenToursAddress: 103 Atlantic Avenue, North End, BostonFor more information: 617-233-7595Back Bay BicyclesAddress: 362 Commonwealth Avenue, at Massachusetts Ave intersection across from Eliot Hotel, Back Bay, BostonFor more information:617-346-076321. How many bike rental shops are recommended?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.22. Where can you rent a bike at the lowest price?A. At Hubway.B. At Walgreens.C. At Urban AdvenTours.D. At Back Bay Bicycles.23. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to ―option‖ in Paragraph 4?A. Tour.B. Price.C. Bargain.D. Choice.BI was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握）my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I‘d stopped for that light came back to me. I thinkI stopped because it‘s part of an agreement we all have with each other. It‘s not only the law, but it‘s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it：we don‘t go through red lights.It‘s amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn‘t it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don‘t come naturally to us.It‘s a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn‘t trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we‘ll do; we show up when we say we‘11 show up；we deliver when we say we‘ll deliver；and we pay when we say we‘11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don‘t do what we‘ve promised, it‘s far from the normal. It happens often that we don‘t act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we‘re angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.24. Why did the author feel impatient while driving?A. Because he had already driven for a long time.B. Because it was too far away from his destination.C. Because something urgent happened in his family.D. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.25.The author stopped at the traffic light because .A. there were passers-by crossing the roadB. some policemen were on duty just at that pointC. the trust between people influenced the authorD. there was potential danger26. What would happen if people didn‘t trust each other in most cases?A. All the things would run normally.B. The social system would be thrown into disorder.C. The social traditions would be abandoned.D. Strict rules and laws would be made.27 What is the theme of the passage?A. Mutual Trust is the best policy.B. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the king.CFourth grader Kamarian Fox walked into a barbershop in Gastonia, North Carolina, on Monday, and headed straight for a familiar face. Grinning, the 9-year-old handed barber Mike Shelton his report card. He had received straight As.―He said he as here to get my free hair-cut,‖ Shelton told the Gaston Gazette of his young customer. ―I said, ‗Brother, you‘re a VIP today.‘And I brought him to the front of the line.‖The story of Kamarian‘s free haircut and his friendship with the barber begins in August, when the boy, a day before starting fourth grade, first visited Next Level Barbershop, where Shelton works.As Shelton cut Kamarian‘s hair that day, the pair struck up a quick friendship. ―There was just something about Kam. I could tell for his age he was super mature and he was a great dude （家伙）.‖ Shelton was inspired to make Kamarian a promise: give the kid free haircut for life. Kamarian‘s end of the deal is to earn good grades in school.Last week, Kamarian marched in with his first report card of the school year. He had fulfilled his end of the bargain, as promised, Shelton—who Kamarian now calls ―Uncle Mike‖—kept his words. ―As long as you keep your grades right, I will keep you looking right,‖ Shelton told the boy.Kamarian‘s mom, Cameron Fox, said she‘s extremely proud of her son. The single mom said she was also grateful to Shelton for acting l ike a father figure to the boy. ―I just appreciate his open arms and making us feel welcome, and giving Kamarian something to look forward to,‖ Fox told ABC News. ―It‘s just awesome.‖―I knew it would be deeper than just cutting people‘s hair,‖ Shelton tol d the Gazette of his job. ―You can influence their lives for that 30 minutes and inspire them to leave through those doors and do something great.‖ He‘s also encouraging others to do something to touch someone else‘s life.28. Why did Kamarian Fox go to the barbershop?A. Because he wanted to get his free haircut.B. Because he wanted to meet his friend Mike.C. Because he wanted to show his report card.D. Because he wanted to make a deal with Mike.29. How did Kamarian Fox get his free haircut from Mike Shelton?A. He worked for Mike.B. He sent Mike a gift.C. He earned good grades in school.D.

Where can you read the text probably?A. In a science report.B. In a guide book.C. In an advertisement.D. In a newspaper.DIn 1996, John Tierney suggested in a New York Times Magazine article that ―recycling is garbage.‖ He wrote, ―The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems. Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution, but also cost more money than the disposal (处理) of plain old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”Environmental groups were quick to express their disagreement. They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal. Michael Shapiro, an official of the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), said that ―recycling can be good value for money, although there‘s still room for improvements.‖But in 2002, New York City, a pioneer of recycling, found that its recycling program was losing money, so it stopped glass and plastic recycling. Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was doing with its remaining program (the city never stopped paper recycling). But then it closed its last landfill (垃圾填埋地), and private companies out of New York raised prices due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New York’s garbage. As a result, glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again, and New York brought the program back. According to Cecil Adams of The Chicago Reader, the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere. He believes that, if managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many, keep in mind that it betterserves the environment to ―reduce and reuse‖ before recycling is even considered as a choice.32. Why did John Tierney think ―recycling is garbage‖?A. Because he didn‘t like the environmental groups.B. Because he considered recycling a wasteful activity.C. Because he found few people would like to recycle.D. Because he didn‘t think recycling was a new idea.33. Which argument was put forward by the environmental groups?A. Recycling programs cause pollution.B. Recycling technologies are mature.C. Recycling programs save money.D. Recycling technologies are valueless.34. Why did other cities watch closely to see how New York was doing?A. Because they felt worried about the waste of money.B. Because New York was doing extremely well.C. Because they didn‘t want to have a recycling program.D. Because New York was running a new recycling program.35. Which of the following would the author most probably recommend?A. Never use a shopping bag which is not recycled.B. Always put your shopping bag into the dustbin after use.C. Never go shopping where shopping bags are offered for free.D. Always bring your own shopping bag when you go shopping.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
