高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
I live in the center of the city and there is a large parking lot full of parking spots nearby．Rain is a rare occurrence in LA，so cars easily collect pollutants and dust．Together with my friends，I decided it should be a kind gesture to surprise the owners with a car wash．So we bought car washing supplies and brought out all the bath towels we could find．With all the supplies in hand，we were able to convince another roommate to help out as well and we began watering down the cars．
Every once in a while，someone would come by and asked us seemingly stupid men，“Who told you to wash the cars?”or，even better，“who paid you to wash their cars?”We explained we just wanted to do something kind．But our response was often me with an even more confused look．
As the afternoon went on，some other friends that came by understood our goal of the spontaneous event and started helping out with some of the duties．First one friend then two，and by the time we had cleaned the entire lot，we had an entire car washing crew with independent individually assigned tasks and duties．
I wasn't cleaning cars to be able to afford a new phone．I was cleaning cars simply because I wanted to offer the car owners kindness．There was no equipment to weigh our value created．We couldn’t measure our success in dollars earned over the time spent washing cars when we could have been earning twice as much at work．
I now realize，first hand，that there is a special energy created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in service of others and maybe，like me，you’11 find it’s actually the greatest gift you’ you’ll ever get．
1.What attitude did passers-by show towards the author’s behavior?
A. Curious and puzzled． B. Doubtful and fearful．
C. Moved and respectful． D. Supportive and appreciative．
2.Why did the author decide to wash the cars?
A. To earn money to buy a phone．
B. To do a good deed for the car owners．
C. To set a good example to his friends．
D. To remind the drivers of their dirty cars．
3.How did the author complete cleaning the cars?
A. With the permission of the drivers．
B. By cooperating with his friends．
C. By attracting strangers to join them．
D. Under the leadership of one of his friends．
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. There is a lack of rain in the city the author lives in．
B. The car owners felt grateful to the author and his friends．
C. Some of the author’s friends stopped cleaning the cars halfway．
D. The author and his friends clean the cars willingly day and night．

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.
The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jams. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage（杠杆作用）to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.
Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the city’s total area.
The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.
According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment in transportation will go towards public transit（公共交通）construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout（布局）by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.
The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.
Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.
1.In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the
downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to _______.
A. take buses or subways
B. take a taxi
C. drive the car quickly
D. park his car in a place which asks for no fees
2.According to this passage, when more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to ________.
A. save time B. cause traffic jams
C. cause traffic accidents D. reduce air pollution
3.The aim in building new city centers is to ________.
A. make it convenient for people to go shopping
B. develop its local resources
C. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown
D. solve the problem of more laid-off workers
4.The passage suggests the author _________.
A. is tired of driving to work
B. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive
C. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic congestion（拥挤）
D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day
