Passage Two Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Singapore (新加坡), especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians
use an overhead bridge,they do not hold up traffic.However,when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing,traffic is held up.This is why the govemment has buil many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges.For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of .O people,howevermay find t difficult climbing up and down the steps,but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.

This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road.

5 car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas. 41. When do most Americans feel they are poor? A. When they don’t have a car. B. When they live in a huge country. C. When they don’t use planes. D. When they have a car. 42. Why do cars become popular in the United States? A. The United States is huge. B. Public transportation is not so good. C. Americans like to be independent. D. Americans like to move around. 43. What public transportation is good in the United States? A. Buses. B. Trains. C. Taxis. D. Planes. 44. What has caused a big problem for Americans? A. A new kind of car. B. Public transportation. C. The gas shortage. D. Poor people. 45. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage? A. Cars have made the nation on wheels. B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage. C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars. D. Cars have made American independent. Passage Four One of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball. He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average
