27、   For its critics, the arrival of the London Underground marked the moment the capital got into a messy state. The idea of an underground train had first been formed in the 1840s and one of the leading advocates was Londoner Charles Pearson, but work did not begin on what became the Metropolitan Railway until 1860.

What critics called “the Drain” was not universally popular. Some warned that the tunnels (隧道) would fall apart under the weight of the houses above; others thought an underground railway so terrible that criminals should be forced to take round trips. And the construction work angered the locals. “London would lose its charm forever with this ugly project,” one said.

But by January 1863, the first trains were ready to roll. On Friday 9 January, a special train packed with politicians made the first journey—though the Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, refused to join then, explaining that at 78, he wanted to spend as much time above ground as possible. All went well, and the next day, Saturday 10 January, it opened to the public.

To general astonishment, the capital’s new Underground proved a great success. On that first day alone, 38,000 people walked deep down into the earth to ride between Farringdon Street and Bishop’s Road, Paddington. The carriages were divided into three classes and lit by gas; as one pleasantly surprised passenger put it, they were “so large that a man who is six feet tall may stand up straight with his hat on”.

“For the first time in the history of the world,” said The Daily News, “men can travel in pleasant carriages, and with great comfort, lower down than gas pipes and water pipes.”

【1】What did Charles Pearson do?

A.He designed the Metropolitan Railway.

B.He showed his dissatisfaction with London.

C.He built a part of the London Underground.

D.He supported building the London Underground.

【2】Why were people against the London Underground in the beginning?

A.Criminals did most of the construction work.

B.It provided single trips instead of return trips.

C.It was too new to be readily accepted by the public.

D.Lots of accidents happened in tunnels universally.

【3】How was the politicians’ underground ride in 1863?

A.It was smooth. B.It was lots of fun.

C.It was quite frightening. D.It was totally disorganized.

【4】What was the right description of the first underground train?

A.Its height was exactly six feet.

B.Its lights were powered by electricity.

C.Its floors had lots of gas pipes and water pipes.

D.Its carriages were more comfortable than expected.

28、   Your next car might drive itself.After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now on the way.Last month,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon,France.Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier.

Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars.Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.

Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent.That's big—the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year.Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric.

On the other hand,driverless cars will cause problems.Over the next 20 years,the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks,taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced.Traditional carmakers are especially scared.The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple,Baidu and Google.Imagine Germany,where automobile making is the largest industry.

Dramatic changes are coming,and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming.Now what about the driverless cars?

【1】The underlined phrase "be huddled with" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with " ".

A. turn up B. make up for

C. exist together D. take over

【2】Driverless cars can reduce pollution and carbon emissions because .

A. they will reduce the number of cars

B. they will be powered by electricity

C. they will be energy-saving by driving themselves

D. they will avoid many accidents from human errors

【3】What's the author's attitude toward driverless cars?

A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed.

C. Negative. D. Objective.

【4】What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Driverless cars will not hit the road until 2020.

B. Old auto industry will benefit from driverless cars.

C. Governments are unprepared for the arrival of driverless cars.

D. Driverless cars will make road accidents a past thing.

29、   As globalization continues to make the world a smaller place, and goods become more accessible across borders,concerns about food safety in the Asia­Pacific region have steadily risen over the years. An APEC forum is being held in Beijing, to find ways to better address the problem.

156 participants from 19 APEC economies and 4 non-APEC members attended the APEC Food Safety Cooperation Forum. Created 7 years ago, the forum has been actively looking for ways to strengthen food safety standard in the region, without affecting trade.

“As consumers are faced with more varieties of food, the potential food safety risk also becomes bigger. This forum has helped APEC economies to cooperate in supervision (监督), exchange information, and improve the overall food safety standard in the Asia­Pacific region,” said director of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision Wu Qinghai.

For the first time the forum has brought together high­level regulators, academics, and industry stakeholders to talk about their respective roles in safety supervision. They say governments alone cannot shoulder this heavy duty.

In China, the continuous food safety problems have greatly hurt consumers' confidence in domestic products; therefore more turned to imports. However, problems related to quality of those imported goods also began to show. In July this year, more than 400 batches (批)of food imports from 35 countries and regions were found substandard by the country's top quality supervisor.

Governments and industries have been brought closer by this forum. As food moves more freely beyond borders, this forum is hoped to promote safety control cooperation, so APEC  members can better benefit from the economic integration (经济一体化).

【1】What kind of function can the forum play?

A.It has greatly influenced the economy in the area.

B.It has long been able to put every side's efforts together.

C.It helps to bring government regulators and industries together.

D.It has found ways to deal with safety problems.

【2】The last but one paragraph tells us that ________.

A.the Chinese customers are more satisfied with their food safety

B.food imported from other countries are indeed high in quality

C.many Chinese customers would rather buy some foreign food

D.there are only 35 countries and regions exporting food to China

【3】The underlined word “address” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.

A.send a letter about B.deal with

C.deliver a speech on D.call off

【4】According to the article, which of the following statements is WRONG?

A.People can buy foreign food more easily than ever.

B.The more varieties of food, the bigger the potential food safety risk.

C.Food safety problems have appeared many times before this forum.

D.Governments have started their cooperation with academies and industries before this forum.
