Question

9．閱讀下面的短文并用英語(yǔ)回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上（請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）．
[1]Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one，and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers．The result is overcrowding on the road system，which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with．
[2]When people travel to other towns，the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK．At Southerton，for example，a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months．
[3]What the council found，though，was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre．Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade．As the number of people driving past dropped，so did their incomes．
[4]Making car driving expensive is another way ofencouraging people to use public transport more
encouraging people to use their cars less
relieving the problem （of overcrowding）．Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less．Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind．
[5]However，one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed．If we expect people to give up the habit of driving，we must give them an alternative they can rely on．Constant delays，unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport．People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time．

66．What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1？（no more than 12words）The reduced/lowered cost of a new car and better road conditions．
67．What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects？（no more than 10words）They should park outside the town，and take the bus to the centre．
68．Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project？（no more than 10words）Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past．
69．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4．（ no more than 8words）encouraging people to use public transport more
encouraging people to use their cars less
relieving the problem （of overcrowding）
70．Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5？（no more than 8words）Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory．．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了一些讓人們出行時(shí)減少使用私家車輛的方法，鼓勵(lì)人們多乘坐交通工具．比如政府采取一些政策，讓人們把車輛停在市中心外，比如對(duì)過路費(fèi)的設(shè)置，以及保證公車和其他公共交通工具的準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)服務(wù)等．

解答 66．The reduced/lowered cost of  a new car and better road conditions．通過第一段可知，道路系統(tǒng)擁堵的原因是"在車的開銷上比以前便宜，以及更好的道路條件"（that it is cheaper than ever to own one，and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers），故嚴(yán)格按照字?jǐn)?shù)要求可以概括為The reduced/lowered cost of  a new car and better road conditions．
67．They should park outside the town，and take the bus to the centre．根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容When people travel to other towns，the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．可知，the Park and Ride projects（停車用車計(jì)劃）要求駕駛者把車停放在城市外，并且坐車到市中心．故答案為：They should park outside the town，and take the bus to the centre．
68．Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past．在第三段可以找到原因．As the number of people driving past dropped，so did their incomes．可知這個(gè)計(jì)劃使沿途路過的駕駛?cè)藴p少，影響他們的收入，因此不高興．因此答案可以歸納為：Their incomes dropped because fewer people drove past．
69．encouraging people to use public transport more/encouraging people to use their cars less/relieving the problem （of overcrowding），空格所在的文段寫到讓開車的代價(jià)變高是為了鼓勵(lì)人們乘坐交通工具，空格處補(bǔ)充這個(gè)措施的目的，根據(jù)字?jǐn)?shù)要求，答案可為encouraging people to use public transport more/encouraging people to use their cars less/relieving the problem （of overcrowding）；
70．Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory．根據(jù)第五段可知，作者希望能夠保證公車和其他公共交通工具準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)服務(wù)，以此避免人們更愿意選擇私人小車出行．因此可以推測(cè)答案為：Because public transport is not reliable/satisfactory（公共交通工具不讓人信賴/滿意）．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 此為主觀題，考查考生的理解概括能力，考生需要嚴(yán)格按照字?jǐn)?shù)要求，提煉概括文意．
