Since cars are banned (禁止) in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from cars. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds. “Listen” says Migucl Lores, the mayor, opening the windows of his office. Human voices rise from the street below. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.” Lores became the mayor (市民) in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical (历史的) city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who have a chance to leave have done so.” At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions (状况). However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of cars. The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now fewer. CO₂ emissions (排放物) are 70 percent down. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again. Most local citizens like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added. “For me, Pontevedra is paradise (天堂).” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 16. According to the article, in Pontevedra, people can’t ________.

D 18. A 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了西班牙的Pontevedra市因禁止汽车通行，从而带来了交通改善、环境变好、生活更便利等诸多好处，当地居民大多喜欢这一改变。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Since cars are banned (禁止) in the city...”可知，在Pontevedra，人们不能开车。故选B。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.”和第二段“Human voices rise from the street below.”可知，在Pontevedra的街道上，你可以听到鸟儿的歌声和人们交谈的声音。故选D。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The historical (历史的) city is dead...It is full of cars.”可知，Miguel Lores在Pontevedra四处走动后发现这个城市车太多了。故选A。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“Traffic accidents are now fewer. CO₂ emissions (排放物) are 70 percent down. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.”可知，交通改善后，交通事故减少，二氧化碳排放量下降，人们搬到城市，城市又变得生机勃勃，这些都是改变带来的好处，所以“benefits”意为“好处，优势”。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Most local citizens like the change. Ramiro Armesto...said, ‘In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.’ Raquel Garcia...said she had never lived in a city as ‘easy to live in’ as Pontevedra.”可知，Ramiro Armesto和Raquel Garcia都支持这一改变。故选D。 C Do you know that the “Happy Birthday to You” song is the first song sung in outer space? Apollo IX astronauts sang it on March 8, 1969. It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here’s the story behind it. The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the title of “Good Morning to All” in 1893. It was used as a classroom greeting. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom. The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist. Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original lyrics (最初的歌词) for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also taught. The Hill sisters copyrighted (取得版权) their song on October 16 1893. However, it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman’s songbook on March 4, 1924. Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say, “Happy Birthday to You”, although the song still had its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court (法院) over the copyright problem of the song. She won her case. The Hill sisters, who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about $ 2 million every year. 21.

Which can be the best title for this passage? A. The Apollo IX B. “The Happy Birthday to You” Song C. The Hill Sisters D. The 2 Million Dollars 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 24. C 25.

Since cars are banned (禁止) in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from cars. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds. “Listen,” says Migucl Lores, the mayor, opening the windows of his office. Human voices rise from the street below. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.” Lores became the mayor (市民) in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical (历史的) city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who have a chance to leave have done so.” At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions (状况). However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of cars. The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now fewer. CO₂ emissions (排放物) are 70 percent down. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again. Most local citizens like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added. “For me, Pontevedra is paradise (天堂).” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 16. According to the article, in Pontevedra, people can’t ________.

Apollo IX astronauts sang it on March 8, 1969. It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here’s the story behind it. The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the title of “Good Morning to All” in 1893. It was used as a classroom greeting. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom. The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist. Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original lyrics (最初的歌词) for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also taught. The Hill sisters copyrighted (取得版权) their song on October 16, 1893. However, it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman’s songbook on March 4, 1924. Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say, “Happy Birthday to You”, although the song still had its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court (法院) over the copyright problem of the song. She won her case. The Hill sisters, who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about $ 2 million every year. 21.
