Commuters(通勤者)rush to and from their jobs in cars，buses，subways，trains，and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours－one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world，there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome，for example，many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break，they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.In Tokyo，there's a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors place. They make sure that all purses，briefcases，clothes，and hands are inside the trains.In Seoul，many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work，To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they'll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers！They'll pay THREE times the normal rate.Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行车)during rush hours. The city can't make its streets wider，and it can't build new highways，because it doesn't want to disturb many historic sites in the city，such as the Forum and the Colosseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had tostop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古学家)．In many big cities，there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three or more people who driver to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.Getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world. Rush hour traffic seems to be a universal problem.36．Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are ________．A．special lanes on highwaysB．many commutersC．four rush hoursD．many cars on the street37．Most of commuters in Tokyo ________．A．take subway trains to workB．are packersC．take taxis to workD．carry briefcases to work38．To“hail a cab”means to ________．A．pay double the normal rateB．try to get a cabC．prefer to take taxisD．to stand at crossroads39．Why did it take a long time to build a subway system in Rome?A．Because the streets were very crowded.B．Because there are many historic sites.C．Because the workers discovered many artifacts and places of interest.D．Because the traffic always stopped the construction.BBelieve it or not，optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes，called chevrons(人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D．C.is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year，the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents，according to the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents，the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed－related hazards(危险)are the greatest－curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half.However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.Chevron，scientists say，not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.40．The passage mainly discusses ________．A．a new way of highway speed controlB．a new pattern for painting highwaysC．a new approach to training driversD．a new type of optical illusion41．On roads painted with chevrons，drivers tend to feel ________．A．they should avoid speed－related hazardsB．they are driving in the wrong laneC．they should slow down their speedD．they are approaching the speed limit42．The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________．A．try out the Japanese method in certain areasB．change the road signs across the countryC．replace straight，horizontal bars with chevronsD．repeat the Japanese road patterns43．The advantage of chevrons over straight，horizontal bars is that the former ________．A．can keep drivers awakeB．can cut road accidents in halfC．will have a longer effect on driversD．will look more attractiveCWildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.1．Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.2．Avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your area.Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.3．____________By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.

Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.5．Donate money or time to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife species in your neighbourhood.44．We infer that the purpose of this passage is to ________．A．tell us why protecting wildlife is extremely important nowB．suggest that we protect wildlife through actionsC．explain why protecting wildlife is not as hard as people thinkD．give us some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions 45．Which of the following threats to wildlife is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Animal diseases.

D．Geography.DFourteen－year－old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear，worrying about mistakes，and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm.“I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I'd make－it would distract(干扰)me from playing，”he says.“I didn't even remember trying to impress people while I played. It's almost as if they weren't there. I just wanted to make music.”Hawley is a winner. But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well.A characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration on work，rather than on their competitors or future glory or money，says Dr.Charles Garfield，who has studied 1，500 achievers inbusiness，science，sports，the arts，and professions.“They are interested in winning，but they're most interested in self－development，testing their limits.”One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had and how much they've learned from each.“Not one of the 1，500 I studied defined losing as failing，”Garfield says.“They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’．”A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning，experts agree.“The worst thing you can do if you've had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong，identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.”Garfield believes that most people don't give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you've done on the way to a goal.47．Hawley won the contest because ________．A．he put all his mind to his performanceB．he cared much about the judges' feelingsC．he worried about making mistakes.D．he paid close attention to the people around48．High performers is that they tend to concentrate on ________．A．glory B．wealthC．pleasure D．work49．The passage tells us that “praise”in times of trouble ________．A．helps people deal with their disappointmentB．makes people forget their setbacksC．makes people regret about their pastD．helps people realize their goals50．It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not ________．A．interested in winningB．free of lossesC．accustomed to failuresD．concerned about setbacksⅣ.书面表达(满分25分)假如你是新华中学的学生李华，刚参加完“美国高校一周游”的夏令营活动，在离开之前，你想给新结交的美国朋友Monica写一封感谢信，内容应包括以下要点：1．表示感谢；2．描述参加此次夏令营的收获。
