Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department(交通部门) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road inTaizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park. The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(专家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars. By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot(停车场) is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway(地铁) and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees(费用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops. 1.The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____. A. making B. arguing C. replying D. comparing 2.About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now. A. 8,500 B. 10,000 C. 15,000 D. 20,000 3.What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The city sent out more private licenses in February. B. Less and less people bought cars in March. C. The city sent out less private licenses in March. D. More and more people are going to buy cars. 4.According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will _____. A. send out more private car licenses B. build more parking lots near bus stops C. encourage people to buy more cars D. build more parking areas in the city center 5.This passage is mainly about_____. A. parking problems B. heavy traffic C. pollution in Taizhou D. building more parking lots in the city center

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person. When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled(毁坏) them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的) roots(根), and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak(橡树)and instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention. Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down. 1. We know from the passage, the doctor______. A. didn't know how to plant trees at all B. wasn't good at his own medical job C. had his own ways of planting trees D. had nothing to do but plant trees 2. When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on.", he meant that______. A. some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning B. he would choose the weak trees to water earlier C. the weak trees would be sent to his patients later D. he would not plant weak trees so early anymore 3. The passage tells us that the writer______. A. should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper B. didn't often water his trees C. didn't have a large field D. took too much care of his trees 4.The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that______. A. his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs' B. his trees will not be beaten down C. his sons will be better at planting trees D. his sons will be able to face difficulties 5.Which can be the best title of the reading? A. Watering Trees B. Growing Roots C. Doctor and his Neighbor D. Father and his Children
