　　阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．          
　　A
　　Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
　　When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to partside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Souderton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
　　What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.
　　Making car driving expensive is another way of encouraging people to use public transport more. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
　　However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.
　　1. What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects?
　　A．They should park in the park, and take a taxi to the centre.
　　B．They should take the bus to other towns instead of driving.
　　C．They should partside the town, and take the bus to the centre.
　　D．If they don’t use public transport, they’ll be fined.
　　2. What are some shop owners’ attitude to the project?
　　A．supportive B．objective
　　C．opposed D．subjective
　　3. Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5?
　　A．Because buses constantly delay and even sudden cancellations.
　　B．Because the timetable changes without announcement.
　　C．Because they want to show off their cars and driving skills.
　　D．Because public transport can not satisfy the passengers.
　　4. How many ways are mentioned to solve the overcrowding?
　　A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
　　B
　　When I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the         sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”
　　Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.
　　It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.
　　Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.
　　We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”
　　5. When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.
　　A．moved B．awkward
　　C．proud D．nervous
　　6. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?
　　A．Words of love.                          B．Pictures of flowers.
　　C．Drawings of their favorite animals.          D．Famous words of wisdom
　　7. It can be inferred that ________.
　　A．the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins.
　　B．the author’s children dislike manch box notes.
　　C．the author’s husband is an environmentalist.
