A NOBLE GIFT One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statute, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statute which was 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statute had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi.

TRAFFIC IN OUR CITIESThe volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems,

including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.

One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as ‘road pricing’, is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.

Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey.

Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.37.Which of the following is not mentioned as a problem of the increasing traffic in cities?

A. serious air pollution. B. traffic jams.C. difficulty changing people’s habits. D. greater risk of accidents.

38.According to the passage, the problem can be solved by________A. making it more expensive to use cars. B. providing cheap parking in the city.C. providing good, reliable and expensive public transport.D. All of the above

39.According to the passage, driving can be made more expensive by________A. increasing parking fees. B. applying fines for any car users.C. requiring pay for using roads in the city. D. using a special elictronic card.

40.To get people to use public transport, it must not be________.A. comfortable B. reliable C. convenient D. expensive

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers. For many people the language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web: Three English Words” was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to say: “If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do it : learn English.”

In general, It is not difficult to learn how to use the Internet services. But although Internet services are rather easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact, knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet.

Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days, or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.33.This passage talks about________________.

A.using the Internet. C. the role of English on the Internet.B. learning English. D. services of the Internet.
