Have you ever noticed how busy our roads are becoming? Every year more and more cars are using them. Already in such countries as America, almost every family has a car. Many accidents happen because cars are now made to travel very fast. Also, people waste time and money every day as long lines of cars move slowly into towns and cities. In most big towns it is very hard to find parking spaces.
Wide, smooth (平的), straight roads must be built now in place of the old and narrow roads. These roads must not pass through towns and cities. They must not be crossed by other roads. Today such roads are being built in many countries in the world. These roads have at least two lanes（车道）, one for slow-moving traffic and the other for fast-moving traffic.
These roads do not pass through town and cities; horses and bikes are not allowed on them.Accidents do not usually happen. Cars can travel hundreds of miles without having to stop. But these modem roads often cannot be built in towns and cities. Before a road in a town can be made wider, many buildings have to be pulled down.
Some people feel that more car-parks should be built outside a city, then the drivers should leave their cars and catch a bus or take a taxi to their offices.
( )56. The writer thinks that many accidents happen because___________.
A. roads are old and narrow B. roads go across each other
C. people drive their cars too fast D. all of the above
( )57. How are the new roads different from old roads?
A. They have at least two lanes. B. They cross over one another.
C. They have no fast cars. D. They pass through towns.
( )58. New roads must be built because_________.
A. cars can not travel any longer B. people are very busy
C. the old roads are too straight D. the old roads are too busy
( )59. It is hard to build new roads in towns because__________.
A. horses and bikes go there B. there are too many cars
C. there are too many people D. many buildings have to be pulled down
( )60. The passage is mainly about ____________.
A. the old roads B. roads of the future
C. how to build the modem roads D. roads in towns and in the country

Some parents are worrying that their child ren wouldn’t like meals. In fact, most children are usually ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food, never talk about likes and dislikes in front of him or allow(允许) anybody else to do so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother dislike s some vegetables in the child’s hearing, he may copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will . At meal times, it
is a good idea to give a child a small part at one time.You’d better not give him as much as he may eat all together. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food. And do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal , or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room . Never coax（哄骗）or make a child eat, or he will think he eats for you. Don’t you think it is the same with study ?
( )61．A child will probably eat ________ if it is not badly cooked.
A ．only a little of the food B ．almost all of the food
C ．some of the food D ．all of the food
( )62．A ．Offering as much as possible B ．The way parents eat

Why should students play sports? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise. Others think it can help students have fun. But that is not enough. If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? Here are three more reasons.
Students who play sports do better in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students’ study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don’t. Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate (集中注意力)better.
Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirits and learn problem-solving skills. When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they’re learning how to be successful in practice. And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work.
Playing sports can also improve confidence(自信). Students who play sports feel better about themselves. When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence. And sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends.
Every year, wildfires(野火) destroy much forest land. Homes are broken down, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers are stop helping to stop this.
Smokejumpers are a special kind of firefight. They jump from planes into areas that difficult to reach by car or on foot. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, Smokejumpers first examine(检查) the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to put out the fire, using tools such as shovels and axes, Smokejumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much.
Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smokejumpers in the U.S. for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms. They should have proper weight so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.
Smokejumpers must be able to live in the wilderness. in Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees.
They work is dangerous, the hours are long. But for these firefighters, Smokejumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumpers Alexi Tishin says, “This is the best job for the strong and brave.”
96. What are Smokejumpers?
97. Where do the jump from?
98. What’s their main goal?
99. How heavy should Smokejumpers in the U.S. be?
100. Who can be a Smokejumpers?

Have you ever noticed how busy our roads are becoming? Every year more and more cars are using them. Already in such countries as America, almost every family has a car. Many accidents happen because cars are now made to travel very fast. Also, people waste time and money every day as long lines of cars move slowly into towns and cities. In most big towns it is very hard to find parking spaces.
Wide, smooth (平的), straight roads must be built now in place of the old and narrow roads. These roads must not pass through towns and cities. They must not be crossed by other roads. Today such roads are being built in many countries in the world. These roads have at least two lanes（车道）, one for slow-moving traffic and the other for fast-moving traffic.
These roads do not pass through town and cities; horses and bikes are not allowed on them.Accidents do not usually happen. Cars can travel hundreds of miles without having to stop. But these modem roads often cannot be built in towns and cities. Before a road in a town can be made wider, many buildings have to be pulled down.
Some people feel that more car-parks should be built outside a city, then the drivers should leave their cars and catch a bus or take a taxi to their offices.

Some parents are worrying that their child ren wouldn’t like meals. In fact, most children are usually ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food, never talk about likes and dislikes in front of him or allow(允许) anybody else to do so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother dislike s some vegetables in the child’s hearing, he may copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will . At meal times, it
is a good idea to give a child a small part at one time.You’d better not give him as much as he may eat all together. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food. And do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal , or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room . Never coax（哄骗）or make a child eat, or he will think he eats for you. Don’t you think it is the same with study ?

Why should students play sports? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise. Others think it can help students have fun. But that is not enough. If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? Here are three more reasons.
Students who play sports do better in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students’ study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don’t. Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate (集中注意力)better.
Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirits and learn problem-solving skills. When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they’re learning how to be successful in practice. And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work.
Playing sports can also improve confidence(自信). Students who play sports feel better about themselves. When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence. And sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends.
Every year, wildfires(野火) destroy much forest land. Homes are broken down, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers are stop helping to stop this.
Smokejumpers are a special kind of firefight. They jump from planes into areas that difficult to reach by car or on foot. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, Smokejumpers first examine(检查) the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to put out the fire, using tools such as shovels and axes, Smokejumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much.
Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smokejumpers in the U.S. for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms. They should have proper weight so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds.
Smokejumpers must be able to live in the wilderness. in Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees.
They work is dangerous, the hours are long. But for these firefighters, Smokejumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumpers Alexi Tishin says, “This is the best job for the strong and brave.”
