At no time in history has there been such a mass(大规模的) movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated（估计） that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty(贫穷) and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions soon.

Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施). How can they deal with the additional demands?

London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport.

Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.

As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.

1.The passage is mainly written to tell us that ________.

A. it’s difficult to solve the problem faced by cities today

B. overpopulation causes the problems in cities like London

C. possible solutions to cities’ transport problems will be found soon

D. public transport plays an important role in developments in major cities

2.The underlined word “they” in fourth paragraph refers to _______.

A. the citizens in the city of London

B. those who come to London from other places

C. passengers who make complaints about the cost

D. businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late

3.From the passage we know that the mass movement to the city will cause the following problems EXCEPT_____________.

A. poverty　　　　　　　　　　 B. unemployment

C. better environment　　 D. poor transportation

4.The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ________.

A. pleasant and nonpolluting　　 B. cheap and punctual

C. quick and straight　　　　 　　 D. fair and convenient

5.We can infer that in the following paragraph the writer would most probably deal with ______.

A. traffic jams in London streets

B. London’s future in train and air travel

C. possible solutions to London’s traffic problems

D. the improvement of the citizen’s living conditions

There lived a king who liked art. One day an artist offered to paint the most

beautiful picture in the world on the wall of his palace.

So the king said, “All right, you may work on one of the walls in the new hall.” Just then, another artist said, “ Please allow me to work on the opposite wall. I shall make exactly what that man will make on the opposite wall. Moreover, I shall do so without looking at his work. I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between the two walls so the either of us cann’t see the other.”

Everyone in the king’s court, including the king and the first artist was surprised. So the king decided to give the man a chance.

The following day a thick curtain was put into place and both the artists got to work. The first artist brought in a regular supply of paint, oil and water. But the second one would come with a cloth and a bucket of water every day.

So the king sent the message to the second artist, saying he was coming to see their works that evening.
