18、pring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood went to school on Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the schools busing company redrew its route map, canceling Nias bus. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile
19、 to school via a “walking school bus”a group of kids, supervised (监护) by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves. According to a 1979 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school
20、, compared with only 16 percent in 2011. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have reduced.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where bu
21、sing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to cancel extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling(挂空挡). They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which arent always the shortest on
22、es.There could be disadvantages, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, its an environmental winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars
23、can also increase safety risks. A 2011 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a r
24、eally big hill. 56. In regards to walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the _.A. safety of their kids B. kids physical strengthC. time spent on the way D. changes in the route57. To save money, some schools choose to _.A. shorten the school week B. take the shortest routesC. sto
25、p using school buses D. use fuel-efficient buses58. Busing cutbacks may lead to _.A. fewer complaints about long morning hikesB. more students taking public transportationC. an increase in carbon dioxide emissions D. a decrease in the safety of school busesBA metaphor is a poetic device that deals w
26、ith comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any ot
27、her type of figurative language. The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be our understanding of love. Therefore, the poets job is to enable us to experienc
28、e it, to feel it the same way as the poet does. Lets analyze this remarkably simple metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is impressive in its beauty, its petals（花瓣
29、）are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. Its possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The roses appearance seems to border on perfection, each petal seemingly equal in form. Isnt this the way ones love should be？A loved one should be a delight to
30、ones senses and seem perfect. However, there is another dimension added to the comparison by using a rose. Roses have thorns. The poet wants to convey the idea that roses can be tricky. So can love, the metaphor tells us. When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object of his or her aff
31、ection, ouch, a thorn can cause great harm! “Be careful,” the metaphor warns, “Love is a feast to the senses, but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering.” This is the poets understanding of lovean admonition (劝诫). What is the point？Just this: It took almost 14 sentenc
32、es to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor. 59. According to the passage, a metaphor is a _. A. description of two similar objects in a poetic way B. literary device specially employed in poetry writingC. contrast bet
33、ween two different things to create a vivid image D. comparison between two different objects with similar features 60. As is meant by the author, thorns of a rose _.A. add a new element to the image of loveB. protect the rose from harmC. symbolize reduced loveD. cause acute suffering 61. It can be
34、inferred from the passage that a metaphor is _. A. difficult to understand B. rich in meaning C. simple to use D. perfect in form62. The main idea of this passage is that _. A. love is a rose in metaphorB. a rose is a good image in poetryC. a metaphor is a great poetic deviceD. a poet should be care
35、ful to use a metaphor COn my first job as a sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise, I didnt get a lot of fan mail, so I was intrigued by a letter plopped on my desk one morning. The envelope bore the logo of the closest big-city paper, the Toledo Blade. When I opened it, I read:“Sweet pi
36、ece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.”It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could not have been more exciting. I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I dou
37、bted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Dons note and walk on air again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, to
38、o.”Why are upbeat note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood, sound old-fashioned or flattering. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. The drawback with phone
39、 calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, appreciated, and treasured. What does it take to write notes that lift spirits and warm hearts? Perhaps just a desire and a willingnes
40、s to express our appreciation. The most successful people write notes that are short on words and long on feeling, sincere, short, specific, and usually spontaneous in nature. It is difficult to be spontaneous, however, when you have to hunt for letter writing materials; so, keep paper, envelopes, a
41、nd stamps close at hand, even when you travel. Fancy stationery is not necessary; its the thought that counts. So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or your doctor? You do not need to be poetic. If you need a reason, l
42、ook for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, a birthday, or holiday, and do not hold back your praise. Such words as: “greatest,” “smartest,” “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praises run a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents
43、 of dreams fulfilled. 63. On seeing the letter on the desk, the author felt _.A. annoyed B. curious C. doubtful D. shocked64. According to the author, many people dont write upbeat notes mainly because they are _. A. afraid of being out of date B. too shy to flatter others C. prepared to make phone
44、calls D. too concerned about what others think65. It can be learned from the last paragraph that _.A. praises often run ahead of reality B. praises help in pursuing a dream C. parents often write upbeat notes D. parents expect childrens success 66. What might be the suitable title for the passage?A.
45、 The Power of a Positive Note B. Notes Help to Fulfill DreamsC. The Necessity of Writing Notes D. Note or Phone, Your Own Choice DHomeownership has let us down. For generations, Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good. Our political leaders hammered home the point. Franklin Roosev
46、elt held that a country of homeowners was “unconquerable.” Homeownership could even save babies, save children, save families and save America. A house with a lawn and a fence wasnt just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment; it was a way to transform a nation. No wonder leaders of all p
47、olitical types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy. But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent: Indeed, easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis. Housing remains a drag on the economy. Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the prior month, worsening fears of a double-dip. And all that is just the obv
