Part 4 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题：分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an

inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.

It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.

In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.

When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly.

1.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?

A. They found the writer amusing.

B. They never wore uniforms.

C. They were feared by employees.

D. They distrusted older employees.

2.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?

A. He wasn't tall enough.

B. The buses were too fast.

C. People avoided paying.

D. He couldn't move.

3.The old lady in the incident described ________.

A. was injured

B. fainted

C. was dragged

D. hit her head

4.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.

A. the writer had already decided to give up the job

B. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicity

C. the writer was offered the chance to continue

D. the consequences were as the writer expected

5.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?

A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.

B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.

C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.

D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.

As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的);

journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.

Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.

Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.

6.According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there

are so many people who are ________.

A. anxious to succeed

B. in need of help

C. naturally aggressive

D. likely to commit crime

7.The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because

________.

A. people do not communicate with their neighbors

B. criminals are difficult to trace in large populations

C. people feel anonymous there

D. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals

8.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the

inner areas because they ________.

A. dislike having to travel far to work

B. have been forced by circumstances to do so

C. don't like the idea of living in the suburbs

D. have turned against society

9.Architectural changes have affected city life by ________.

A. scattering long-established communities

B. giving the individual a say in planning

C. forcing people to live on top of each other

D. making people move to the suburbs

10.The author's general argument is that urban life would be improved

by ________.

A. moving people out of tower blocks

B. restoring old buildings

C. building community centers

D. preserving existing social systems

C

D

C

B
