解析【文章大意】在城市中上下班高峰期, 堵車是常見的, 為了避免出現(xiàn)這種情況, 文章給出了不錯的建議。
【小題1】選A。邏輯推理題。此處指年輕人下班后參加健身課堂、去體育館等有很多理由。由引導(dǎo)定語從句的why可知應(yīng)選A。
【小題2】選B。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。after work下班后。根據(jù)上一句中. . . are taking gymnastics, dancing or yoga classes after work. 可知。
【小題3】選A。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)下文“在這個時間回家, 我就會遇上交通堵塞”可知每個人都下班了, 都在街上。故填out。
【小題4】選C。詞語辨析題。根據(jù)主句“I’ll get stuck in traffic. ”可知作者想要回家。而manage to do表示成功做成某事; decide to do表示決定做某事; refuse to do sth. 表示拒絕做某事, 都與句意不符合。try to do表示想要做, 但不一定能成功做到, 符合語境。
【小題5】選C。詞語搭配題。get stuck in被困在……, 固定短語。
【小題6】選A。邏輯推理題。此處指吸入煙塵。從上句所說的環(huán)境處于堵車時, 由于車輛過多, 天空的煙塵被人吸入。
【小題7】選B。詞語辨析題。此處指“跳舞是遠離不停地酗酒的一個好方法”。keep up with趕上; keep away from遠離; keep in touch with與……保持聯(lián)系; keep on繼續(xù)。

【小題9】選B。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知, 胡志明市的交通目前很糟糕, 是因為正在路上鋪管道, 并且還在蓋房子。故選B。
【小題10】選C。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)上下文可知, 鋪管道和蓋房子使得交通問題更嚴重。improve提高; reduce減少; worsen使嚴重, 使更糟糕; shorten縮短。
【小題11】選A。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)本句中的the total dug-out road length to
200 km可知, 此處填dug。dug是dig的過去式和過去分詞, 表示“挖”。
【小題12】選B。詞語辨析題。rise上升; raise提高; provide提供; offer提供。此處指使得總的被挖的路的長度上升到200千米。由此可知, 從A、B中選。rise表示“上升, 提高”, 是不及物動詞; raise表示“提高, 增加”, 是及物動詞。此處需要的是及物動詞, 故選B。
【小題13】選C。詞語辨析題。let讓; strike襲擊, 吸引, 大鐘報時; cause引起, 造成; influence影響。此處指交通堵塞造成嚴重的大氣污染。故選C。
【小題14】選D。背景常識題。affect影響。此處指大氣污染影響人們的健康和投資環(huán)境。
【小題15】選A。邏輯推理題。limit限制。此處指交通堵塞限制一個城市未來的發(fā)展。
【小題16】選A。背景常識題。句意: 如果更多的人通過鍛煉或上課避開上下班高峰期, 交通堵塞就會緩解。
【小題17】選B。詞語辨析題。during/in the rush hour在上下班高峰期。
【小題18】選B。邏輯推理題。increase增加; reduce減少; stop停止; replace替換。此處指交通堵塞會減少。故選B。
【小題19】選A。邏輯推理題。solution解決方法。前面一句是針對交通堵塞問題提出的解決方法, 所以此處指這是一個聰明的解決方法。干擾項是D, 但D項是不可數(shù)名詞, 前面不能加a。
【小題20】選D。邏輯推理題。此處指鍛煉和上課可以促進身體健康, 可以讓人們結(jié)識與自己有相同興趣的人。interest興趣。

A proverb says :“Time is money.”But in my opinion, time is even more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent ,we can earn it back .However when time is gone ,it will never return .This is the reason why we must value time.
There is no doubt that the time we have is unusually limited. So even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things .As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve our society and our nation in the future.
But it is pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time .They spend their valuable time smoking, drinking and so on. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.
In a word, we should get into a good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.

What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.
A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e­mails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”
There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere,do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What's the background of the place; what's the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting a new Web site.
Navigate the world in 3­D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom(快速移動) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef.
With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers.

People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
【小題1】In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as   .

A.a(chǎn) not very normal mental condition
B.a(chǎn) disease that can be easily cured
C.something we pick up after birth
D.a(chǎn) kind of emotional disability
【小題2】From the passage, we know that Johnny Carson   .
A.has dealt with shyness very successfully
B.has done away with his shyness carefully
C.is described as a hero in some legend books
D.failed to become a good talk show host
【小題3】 The passage tells us that Sally Fields was   .
A.proud all the time
B.close to Jane Fonda
C.impolite when young
D.shy in her early years
【小題4】The author thinks that our shyness is there because   .
A.we are not open enough
B.we don’t feel secure at heart
C.we try to reach out to others all the time
D.we lack some social skills

What could be cuter than your puppy giving his doggy friend a kiss on the nose? Nothing, really. But is your dog actual-fly planting a kiss on his friend? Yes, but that’s only one of the reasons your dog may lick another dog’s nose. Here are some other reasons why your dog may lick another dog’s nose.    
During an introduction, a shy and lower-ranking dog will lower his head, avoid direct eye contact and gently extend his tongue to lick the nose of a more confident and high-ranking dog. The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that:he comes in peace.
Dogs who are already friends will also trade kisses. Two strongly bonded dog pals will lick and clean each other. They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship.
Puppies also “kiss” their mothers, but it's not a gesture of love. When puppies stop suckling(吸吮)their mothers’ tits for milk and start to eat semisolid(半固體)food instead;they lick their mothers’ mouths and noses in the hope of getting the mother to regurgitate(反哺) some semi-digested food.
So how to help your bashful dog make friends with other dogs? You can carefully select confident-but-friendly and good-tempered dogs to play with your shy dog, to help him develop his social skills. Also consider taking him to a special training class that focuses on socialization and positive training technique.
Do not disturb them when your two dogs play “kiss” briefly with each other. Sit back and enjoy this display of friendship. Then call them over and have them do a command such as “sit’’ or “shake paws”. Offer them treats as a reward for being good to each other.
If you foster(收養(yǎng))a dog and have three or more resident dogs, introduce the foster dog to your brood dog one at a time and let muzzle licking between them happen naturally. Start with your least reactive or most friendly dog. Never force an in production between the dogs because this can deepen the foster dog’s submissiveness or spark a fight.
【小題1】We know a shy and lower—ranking dog licks the nose of a higher-ranking dog to        .

A.a(chǎn)sk the dog for help B.show he is friendly
C.show his anger D.show his respect for him
【小題2】What can we know about two dogs who are already friends?
A.They seldom give each other kisses.
B.They usually avoid direct eye contact.
C.They like keeping their friendship a secret.
D.They show their friendship by “dog kisses”.
【小題3】What does the underlined word “bashful” in Paragraphs 5 mean?
A.Shy. B.Honest. C.Lovely. D.Little.
【小題4】What should you do if your two dogs play “kiss” briefly with each other?
A.Ask them to stay away from each other immediately.
B.Ask them to shake tails.
C.Ask them to have a fight.
D.Give them a reward for being friends.
【小題5】The writer wrote this passage to_________.

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful ? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak . For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening No one has discovered why this is so , but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自語) as : "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again !" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and -energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes . Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway . Counteract(對抗/抵消)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to .If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor . Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
【小題1】If you wants to work more efficiently at your how point in the morning, you should _____.

A.change his energy cycle B.overcome his laziness
C.get up earlier than usual D.go to bed earlier
【小題2】You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _____.
A.help to keep your energy for the day's work
B.help you to control your temper early in the day
C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D.keep your energy cycle under control all day
【小題3】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Change Your Habits B.Save Your Energy
C.Daily Energy Cycle D.Temperature- and-Energy Peak
【小題4】The text is probably taken from a _________.
A.news report B.research paper C.medical textbook D.fashion journal

The fourth round of heavy smog to hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory(呼吸的) illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution.
Pan Shiyi, a celebrity real estate developer said he is planning to propose (提案) a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m. Within three hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents(應(yīng)答者), welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter.
They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze(霧霾)reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail to provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators(呼吸器).
The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is adequate wind to clear it away. Some critics have pointed fingers at China’s top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Corporation, saying the companies’ outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard, high-polluting gas fuel.
Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brainstorming sessions to cyberspace. If Pan’s proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in times of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel, stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protection for the public.
Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution. That may provide some experience for Beijing to refer to.
【小題1】What can we learn from the passage?

A.People are clear about the causes of the smoggy weather.
B.Children staying indoors will not get respiratory illnesses.
C.Smog is worse for people with lower resistance to diseases.
D.Masks can give people protection against the smoggy weather.
【小題2】Britain is mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.
A.suggest Beijing should learn from other countries
B.let people know many places have this problem
C.tell people the situation in Britain is worse
D.call on the government to pass Britain’s Clean Air Act
【小題3】What’s the best title for this passage?
A.The Use of Gas masks and Respirators
B.Beijingers Call for Clean Air Act
C.Effective Protection for Blue Sky
D.The Mysterious Causes of the Scary Smog

There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled. For many, goal setting is a never ending circle that starts, stops, and begins again. To help us succeed in reaching our goals, let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 7 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals:
1. You Don’t Have Any Goals
Too many people are afraid to “set” their goals. Afraid of failing. Afraid of disappointment. Well, you definitely won’t complete them if you don’t try. Make a choice and set your goals. Otherwise you will end up wherever life takes you.
2. You Don’t Start
OK, so you have a goal. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals.
3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals
Yes, you have to buy your goals. Why? Because every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner.
4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic.
Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success.
5. You Won’t Stick With It
Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days. You set your goals .You started them. And then...you gave up. Are you using life’s daily happenings as excuses? Goals are not   reached through one effort. Rather, they are made in small steps over time.
6. You Will Fail...And You Won’t Get Back Up!
No one succeeds immediately. Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice. You have to fall down many times before you will succeed. Skill is learned by doing.
7. You Quit Before The Finish Line
Too many people stop...right before the finish line. It’s almost like they are afraid of succeeding. Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing. Something always comes up before you finish.
Are you reaching your goals? Which of these is keeping you from succeeding? Set your goals. Stay the course. Always get back up when you fail. And make sure you cross the finish line.
【小題1】What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A.To remind people of the importance of setting life goals.
B.To convince people of keeping to their life goals.
C.To clarify the reasons leading to the failure of achieving goals.
D.To persuade people to have big life goals.
【小題2】What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “procrastination” in the second tip?
A.hesitationB.delayC.importanceD.contradiction
【小題3】According to the passage, you will not reach you goals, if you _______.
A.a(chǎn)re not willing to spend money seeking helping hands.
B.do not take time to make plans for them.
C.do not let life take you where it goes.
D.a(chǎn)re not afraid of succeeding.
【小題4】What can be learned from the sixth tip?
A.He who has hope has everything.
B.Two heads are better than one.
C.Practice makes perfect.
D.Keeping up contributes to success.
