transportation system for the 2008 Olympic Games through planned special transport lines connecting Olympic venues（场馆）with the city‘s external and internal routes.
It is estimated that Beijing will receive a maximum of 1.2 million people per day at Olympic venues during the 15-day competition period.
The transportation lines will mainly depend on a special transportation circle for the fourth and fifth ring roads and their connecting roads.

Passage Twenty-one25
Travelers and Tourists
For thousands of years men have been traveling around — for pleasure, for treasures, or to satisfy their curiosity. When the only means of transportation were horses, camels, and small boats, the travelers were already crossing seas and deserts to find rare goods or to visit famous places. There was a time, closer to ours, when artists and writers journeyed all over Europe and sometimes farther to study ancient works of art and to exchange ideas and methods with their foreign counterparts. Poor adventurers went on foot while rich travelers rode in comfort. For a time, it became a fashion to send children to foreign countries for their education — to learn good manners (言谈举止) and a taste for literature (文学) in France, an appreciation of music in Germany, and some feeling of history in Rome. But their number was always limited, for there were only a few who could enjoy a pleasure unknown by the great masses.
This is not true any more. Railroads, Ships, buses, and airplanes have made travel easier, faster, and cheaper; and the number of people who can spare the time and money to take trips has grown enormously. It is not limited to a lucky few, nowadays, to admire Inca temples, giant Buddhas, French castles, and Australian kangaroos.

Millions of people do each year. But instead of being travelers, they are known as tourists and the are seen all over the world — floating down the Amazon, sailing to Alaska, flying from Timbuktu to Easter island, and taking pictures of Norwegian churches and Pakistani costumes (服装).
Surely this is great progress. It is just and good that most of the people who dream of seeing the Parthenon (巴台农神庙) should have a chance to do so. It is satisfying to know that distant ruins are not forgotten in deep forests to be seen only by a few explorers at the risk of their lives. It is excellent that people of different countries should meet and talk to each other.
But is it really?
Is it really desirable to have the most faraway beach, the most hidden temple shown to human curiosity and at the same time to the litter (丢弃的杂物) and graffiti (涂鸦) that humanity leaves in its path? Would it be better to leave such treasures to the local population, which perhaps doesn‘t pay any attention to them?
The old Inca city is a great tourist attraction today. Visitors, brought by planes, trains and buses walk through the city in groups. Cameras click; guides shout their explanations in several languages; people push, run up and down the steps, drop bits of litter, and perhaps take a small stone as a souvenir (纪念品), It seems that the great number of visitors is destroying the treasures the enjoy most. Under millions of feet, ancient stones wear out, ancient floors break down. Parts of the palace of Versaille may have to be closed to the public in order to preserve them, and some European caves, famous for their thirty-thousand-year-old paintings, have already been closed because the paintings were damaged by human breaths.
1. With only horses, camels and small boats in ancient times man . [A] was more curious about other places than today [B] could not move far from their own place of birth [C] showed more eagerness to learn about other people [D] was known to have traveled both on land and the sea
2. Although it was quite popular to study abroad for a time in history,
[A] the number of people who could do so was very small [B] few universities were open to foreign students
[C] the countries where they could go were very limited [D] those who did go abroad were artists and writers
3. The rapid development of tourism world-wide owes a great deal to [A] the curiosity of modern men [B] the discovery of new continents
[C] the broadened knowledge of the world [D] the development of modern transportation
4. The writer thinks that in human history the modern-day tourism should be considered
as .
[A] wonderful to the masses [B] damaging to the environment [C] risk-free money-making business
[D] helpful to those eager to meet foreigners
Passage Twenty-two26
The hotel‘s chief house officer, Ogilvie, who had declared he would appear at the Croydons suite an hour after his telephone call actually took twice that time. As a result both the Duke and the Duchess(公爵与公爵夫人) were very nervous when the door bell sounded.
The Duchess went to the door herself. Earlier she had sent her servant out on an invented errand(差使，办事)and, cruelly, instructed the moon-faced secretary—who was afraid of dogs—to exercise the Bedlington terriers. Her own nervousness was not lessened by the knowledge that both might return at any moment.
A wave of cigar smoke floated in before Ogilvie. The Duchess looked pointedly at the half-burrn cigar in the fat man‘s mouth. ―My husband and I find strong smoke extremely unpleasant. Would you kindly put that out?‖
The house officer looked over with his piggy eyes with a funny expression on his face. His eyes moved on to sweep the spacious, tastefully furnished room, along with the Duke who faced them uncertainly.
―Pretty neat set-up you folks got.‖ Taking his time, Ogilvie removed the cigar, knocking off the

ash and threw the butt(烟蒂) toward the fireplace on his right. He missed, and the butt fell upon the carpet.
The Duchess‘s lips tightened. She said sharply, ―I imagine you did not come here to discuss our room.‖
The fat body shook in a loud laugh. ―No, ma‘am; can‘t say I did. I like nice things, though.‖ He lowered the level of his voice. ―Like that car of yours. The one you keep here in the hotel, Jaguar, ain‘t it?
―In what imaginable way does our car bother you?‖
As if the question form the Duchess had been a sign, the house officer‘s manner changed. He asked sharply, ―Who else is in this place?‖
It was the Duke who answered, ―No one. We sent them out.‖
―There‘re things it pays to check.‖ Moving with surprising speed, the fat man walked around the suite, opening doors and examining the space behind them. Obviously he knew the room well. After reopening and closing the door, he returned, apparently satisfied, to eh living room.
―Now then,‖ he said. ―You two were in that hit-?n-run.‖ She met his eyes directly. ―What are you talking about?‖
―Don‘t play games, lady. This is for real.‖ He took out a fresh cigar and bit off the end. ―You saw the papers. There‘s plenty on the TV, too.‖
Two high points of color appeared in the paleness of the Duchess‘s cheeks. ―What you are suggesting is the most…‖
―I told you—cut it out!‖ The words came forth with sudden cruelty, all pretense of politeness gone. Turning away from the Duke. Ogilvie waved the unlighted cigar under Duchess‘s nose. ―You listen to me, your high-an‘-mightiness. This city‘s burning mad—cops, mayor(市长), everybody else. When they find who done that last night, who killed that kid and its mother, then high-tailed it , they‘ll throw the book, and never mind who it hits, or whether they got fancy titles(冠冕堂皇的街头)
neither… ‖ 1. Why did the Duke and Duchess feel nervous about Ogilvie visit?

Passage Twenty-three27
Over the years Lottie had asked Bess to prepare for her old age. Over the years Bess had lived each day as if there were no other .Now they were both past sixty. Lottie had a bank account that had never grown thin. Bess had the clothes on her back, and the rest of her worldly possession in an old suitcase.
Lottie had hated being a child, hearing her parents talk regularly about how best to save money.

Bess had never seemed to notice. All she ever wanted was to go outside and play. She learned to skate on borrowed skates. She rode a borrowed bicycle. Lottie couldn't wait to grow up and buy herself the best of everything.
As soon as anyone would hire her, Lottie put herself to work. She minded babies; she ran errands(差事)for the old.
She never touched a penny of her money though her child's mouth watered for ice cream and candy. But she could not bear to share with Bess, who never had anything to share with her. When the pennies began to add up to dollars, she lost her taste for sweets.
By the time she was twelve, she was clerking after school in a small variety store. Saturdays she worked as long as she was wanted. She decided to keep her money for clothes. When she entered high school, she would wear clothes that neither she nor anyone else would be able to match.
But her first year in high school found her unable to even dream of going on for further education, particularly when her admiring instructors advised her to think seriously of college. No one in her family had even gone to college, and certainly Bess would never get there. She would show them all what she could do if she put her mind to it. She began to bank her money, and her bankbook became her most private and precious possession.
In her third year of high school she found a job in a small but popular restaurant where she cashiered from the busy hour until closing. In her last year of high school the business increased so rapidly that Lottie was faced with the choice of staying in school or working full time. She made her choice easily. A job in hand was worth two in the future.
Bess had a boyfriend in the school band who had no other plan or interest except to play a horn(号.Lottie expected to be settled with a home and family while Bess was still waiting for Harry to earn enough to buy a marriage license(证书)。
That Bess married Harry straight out of high school was not surprising really surprising either. Two or three times she was halfway persuaded, but to give up a job that paid well for a home-making job that paid nothing was a risk she was incapable of taking.
Bess's married life was nothing for Lottie to envy. She and Harry lived like gypsies (吉普赛人), Harry playing in second-rate bands all over the country, even getting himself and Bess stranded(处于困境)in Europe. They were often in rags and never in riches. 1. What is the relationship between Lottie and Bess?
[A]They are twins. [B]They are sisters.
[C]They are classmates.
[D]They are childhood friends.
2. Lottie, as a child, wanted to grow up in order to______.
[A]receive the best education possible. [B]help her parents support the family. [C]make money as early as possible. [D]enjoy the pleasure of growing up.
3. Bess's childhood years can be described as______. [A]selfish [B]foolish [C]carefree [D]full of fun 4. The underlined phrase― a home-making job‖ (Paragraph 10) refers to____. [A]being a housewife
[B]being a repairer of houses
[C]being a woman servant at someone's home
[D]being a student studying home economics(家政学) 5. Bess's way of life is different from Lottie's in that______. [A]she had thought of going on to college [B]she had never prepared for her old age
[C]she had worked hard to support herself [D]she seldom made the right choice her life
