III：阅读理解
A
When you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelope or on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to think of this idea?
In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps . They had to pay postage when they received letters. They were unhappy about this, especially when they paid for a letter which they did not wish to receive at all. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to collect the postage.
Rowland Hill, a schoolmaster in England, was the first to put forward a proposal to use stamps in the 5os of the nineteenth century. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps to cover postage. They could go to the nearby post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could simply put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to collect postage. It only needed to send fewer postmen to deliver letters. That was a good idea and the government finally accepted it.
46. It was not until _____ that
people began to use stamps.
A. the early 19th
century B. the middle 19th century

the beginning of the 19th century

A. send postmen to collect the postage
B. send postmen to collect letters
C. send postmen to deliver letters
D. put seals on the used stamps

A. When did people first begin to use stamps?

After supper, Barton asked for his coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost.
One man said that everyone must be searched. One by one they turned out their pockets. Only Clinton refused.

A few years later, Barton had his house repaired. The lost coin was found under the floor. Barton felt sorry and went to Clinton to apologize.
“but,” he asked, “you knew the coin was not in your pocket. Why did you refuse to be searched?”

“We don’t have rush hours any more,” said Charles M. McLean, who runs the nation’s busiest road . “We have rush periods, and they keep getting longer and longer.”
McLean was describing Chicago’s 235 miles of expressway. but the same might be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of American city life--- and about the heavy traffic that often blocks them.
In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls traffic on the city’s seven expressways. Now one man--- a controller--- can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights.
The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile apart. several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room.
A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic--- cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
“See that red light near Austin Avenue(大街)? ” the controller asked a visitor. “”That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it .
At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again. “A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,” the controller explained. “They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”
The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6.
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing.” systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston. “Chicago has taken the lead,” says New York city’s traffic director; and he adds, “We are far behind....”
56. What would be the best title
for this text?
A. Computerized Traffic
Control system B. Rush Periods Getting Longer
C. The Nation’s Busiest Road D. Sensors on Expressways
57. How does the controller follow Chicago’s traffic?
A. By learning how to use a computer.
B. By waiting for the red light to turn to green.
C. By watching the sensors built into the expressways.
D. By looking at a set of lights on the map in the
control room.
58. What colour shows that the traffic moves the fastest?
A. Red. B. Yellow. C. Green. D. It’s uncertain.
59. The underlined word “it” in the passage refers to _____.
A. a truck which needs repairing B. a truck repaired on the road
C. Austin Avenue
D. a red light
60. The system in Chicago _________ .

书面表达:
Liu Ying is a student of Jin Yan Middle School . She studies hard and is interested in English.
Last Sunday, she went to see an American film, The Sound of Music. She enjoyed the film and liked its English songs very much, but she couldn’t understand the conversations in it. She knew that though she had learned more than 2000 English words and some grammar rules, yet her English is far from enough, so she has made up her mind to work hard at it in order to improve it.
