Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed. Task 1
Some cities have planned their transportation systems for ear owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation.
This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens. In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space.
So many buildings where people work also have parking tots.
Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District (CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space.
So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces.
Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future. 36. According to the passage, Los Angeles is a city where ______. A) there is no public transportation system B) more money is spent on highways for cars
C) more money is spent on public transportation systems
D) public transportation is more developed than in other cities
37. \ A) the city became more spread out instead of growing taller B) there were fewer small houses than tall buildings C) rapid development took place in the city center D) many tall buildings could be found in the city
38. According to the passage, if a city has several business districts, ______. A) people won't have to drive to work every day B) there have to be more roads and parking spaces C) companies would be located in between the districts
D) there would be no need to build parking spaces within the districts
39. According to the growth pattern of Los Angeles, homes were mainly built ______. A) in the city center B) along the main roads
C) around business districts D) within the business districts 40. The passage is mainly about ______.
A) the construction of parking spaces in Los Angeles B) the new growth pattern of the city of Los Angeles C) the public transportation system in Los Angeles D) the problem of traffic jams iii Los Angeles Task 2
We've found that eating habits vary(变化) so much that it does not make sense to include meals in the price of our tours. We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算).
As our hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops, your tour guide will show you where you can find salads, soups, and sandwiches. Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant at your hotel. Years of research have taught us which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices.
In Mexico, Alaska, and the Yukon, where your restaurant choice may be limited, we include some meals. The meals provided are clearly stated on the tour pages.
41. According to the passage, most meals are not included in the price of tours mainly because
______. A) meals make up a large part of the tour budget B) meal prices vary a lot from place to place C) people dislike menus offered by tour guides D) people have different eating-habits 42. We can learn from the passage that ______.

Trip Reports
Many companies require their employees to hand in reports of their business trips. A trip report not only reovides a written record of a business trip and its activities, but also enables many employees to benefit from the information one employee has gained.
Generally, a trip report should be in the form of a memorandum(内部通知), addressed to your immediate boss. The places and dates of the trip are given on the subject line. The body of the report will explain why you made the trip, whom you visited, and what you did. The report should give a brief account of each major event. You needn't give equal space to each event. Instead, you should focus on the more important events. Follow the body of the report with a conclusion.
