In Bogota, the capital of Columbia, the government has taken measures to improve the quality of life for the citys 8 million people. They created ov

10、er a thousand new parks, a new public transport system, and built hundreds of cycling and walking paths. People who live in the city also joined in making their city one of the most livable places in South America.Today city planners around the world are looking for ways to provide more room for liv

11、ing and less room for cars. In America, public transport has increased over 2 % since the mid 1990s not much but a start. More and more people leave their cars at home and get on buses, trains or even ride a bike to work. Some cities are far better at planning than others. In Amsterdam, for example,

12、 only 40 % of the population use their cars to get to work, 35 % ride bikes while 25% use public transport.

17、 for citiesPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Stepfamilies are commonplace in the United States and their number continues to grow. While stepfamilies differ widely in their make-up, they all consist of a parenting couple and children, one or more of whom is of a previo

18、us union. Such combinations of his kids, her kids, and then, possibly, kids of the new union make for complicated and often trying difficulties, more challenging than those of traditional families.Since stepfamilies involve more people and, consequently, more potential problems from the start than d

19、o childless new marriage, it is wise for the couple to do some careful planning prior to marriage. Not only do the prospective (預(yù)期的) marital partners need agreement about their own carriers, life goals, finance and special interests, they must also prepare for new relationship with their children an

20、d attempt to accommodate their individual needs and feelings. Furthermore， there are often the rights of other relatives to consider.As for any family, the basic ingredients (成分) of a successful stepfamily are affection, kindness and mutual respect. However, love alone is not enough. Certainly love

21、is the cornerstone upon which the foundation of any family is built, but there are also many other important ingredients involved in building a successful stepfamily.Surveys reveal that successful families regard the ability to communicate openly as the most important factor in their success. Commun

22、ication is what keeps families on track and functioning as a unit. Although healthy communication is easier for some people than for others， this skill can be learned and improved. Healthy communication involves speaking clearly and listening carefully.Planning and building a stepfamily is not a res

23、ponsibility to take lightly. It can be a very trying and, at times, seemingly impossible effort. Many potential troubles can arise and threaten to destroy the stepfamily. Nevertheless, meeting and mastering these special challenges can bring unexpected satisfactions and rewarding depths of family cl

24、oseness and affection.16.According to the passage, there are _ in the United States.

27、ging and frustratingD) a difficult and trying experiencePassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the I

28、nternet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasnt that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling o

29、ver the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and fri

30、ends may explain the drop in well-being, researchers assumed. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed though it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes

31、 users less satisfied with their lives.“But its important to remember this is not about the technology itself; its about how it is used.” says psychologist Christine Riley or Intel, one of the studys sponsors （發(fā)起人）. “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you des

32、ign applications and services for technology.”21. It can be learned from the passage that _. A) people use the Internet less frequently than before B) people having bad feelings spend more time on the Internet C) the Internet makes its users psychologically healthy D) Internet use may cause its user

33、s depression22. The fact that the Internet proved less socially healthy than television _. A) was a puzzle the researchers had solved B) was what the researchers had expected C) went against the researchers expectation D) was well understood by the researchers23. According to the passage one of the

34、possible reasons why Internet use leads to a decline in its users well-being is that _.A) people cant establish lasting relationships with others on the Internet B) Internet users spend less time with their friends and families C) Internet users cant get satisfaction from the Internet D) the Interne

35、t prevents its users from communicating with their families24. In the last paragraph Christine Riley points out that as to the decline in Internet users well-being, _.A) it is no fault of the technology itself B) the Net itself should take responsibility for itC) the technology itself should be held

36、 responsibleD) the blame lies with Internet users25. It is suggested in discussing problems caused by Internet use that _.A) a wider range of services should be made available B) Internet users should spend less time on the InternetC) social factors should be considered in devising applications for

37、technology D) Internet users should have more conversation with their friendsPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themsel

38、ves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual fee

39、lings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or e

40、ven those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less

41、 happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than t

42、hose who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happ

43、ily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (準(zhǔn)則) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and s

44、elf-esteem.26. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A) happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB) a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC) the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD) happiness is not necessarily connected to ones situation in soci
