It does not come as a surprise that Dubai has a growing problem with “tragic”. The local rulers have explored all the conventional ways to get traffic moving again，including higher prices for parking，fuel and insurance. But at a recent conference in Hamburg, Hussain Lootah said that the city may adopt a more strict approach: setting an income level for vehicle ownership.

Mr Lootah’s approach is unlikely to be copied widely, but mayors of other big cities around the world are starting to think about taking severe actions of their own, including complete car bans in inner cities．But the efforts may not be enough to reduce traffic and pollution. The problems will only get worse: the number of vehicles sold globally each year will grow from around 80 million today to more than 100 million by the end of the decade, according to IHS Automotive.

There are already a handful of car-free communities around the world．But these are typically small and often tourist destinations that seek to create a throwback(后退;返祖遗传) in time, such as Sark Island, in the English Channel. The largest car-free urban area is probably Venice, where it is impossible to build roads and bridges to link the more than 100 small islands the city sits on.

Yet pedestrian malls(步行街) and other car-free zones keep popping up in cities around the world. Some cities are considering ways to limit central city access to “green” machines, such as battery-electric vehicles. Hamburg is perhaps the furthest along.

Such extreme plans may fly in a city such as Hamburg. But in many other cities the political resistance even to less far-reaching measures is hard to overcome. Michael Bloomberg, New York’s former mayor, tried twice to introduce a jam charge for much of Manhattan, but his plans were rejected by state lawmakers.

1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________.

A. Dubai government tries to improve its local incomes

B. Dubai government tries to solve traffic problems

C. Dubai government tries to reduce prices for parking

D. Dubai government tries to offer insurance to locals

2. It is still hard to reduce traffic problems, because ________.

A. Mr Lootah’s approach will be copied widely.

B. mayors take gentle measures toward them.

C. more vehicles will be sold globally each year.

D. complete car bans in inner cities are not made.

3.What causes Venice to be the largest car-free urban area?

A. Its natural geographical characteristics.

B. Its too many tourist destinations.

C. Its reduced number of cars.

D. Its government law on car free.

4.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. People can only walk in central city.

B. All vehicles can be used in central city.

C. Hamburg may not adopt “green” machines.

D. “Green” machines can be accessible in central city.

根据内容, 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项多余选项。

It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it．You just waste your valuable time．1.One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．

Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you．I'm just looking．"? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it．But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you．I want a pair of sun glasses．" She says, "Right this way, please．"

2.If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing．But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it．Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．

3.Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．

4.At least two important processes go on at the same time．As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately．But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read．You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．

This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 5.One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions．Facts can be checked by evidence, Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources．Still another part is drawing accurate inferences．

A．This is the way it works．

B．Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting．

C．It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study．

D．You remember better when you know what you' re reading．

E．In other words, a good reader is a critical reader．

F．It’s quite the same with your studying．

G．Reading is not one single activity．

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.

A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves

2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _______.

A．growing away from their parents            B．following the popularity trend

C．walking a new way on their own            D．turning to their friends for help

3.The phrase “ larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.

A．the distractive and variable society          B．the dazzling music world

C．the parental care and love                D．the popularity wave in the society

4.What does the author think of advertisements?

A．Convincing.                            B．Instructive.

C．Influential.                             D．Authoritative.

5.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?
