A

At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp(灯).

Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England ,but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour .In order to have no trouble with the police ,he had a talk with some of the police officers ,who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country ,but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.

One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp , but he walked as fast as he could .The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car ,and not one of them saw it .

They reached a hill ;but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.

“Good evening,” said the policeman ,looking at the car.

“Good evening,” said Rolls ,holding the lamp.

“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman ,looking at it with interest.

“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.

“I’ve often wanted a ride in one ; but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.

“Jump in ,” said Rolls.

“Thanks ,” said the policeman ,and did so . “Now ,”he said ,sitting down, “you can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”

31. The policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in Par
agraph 2) so that .

A. they could watch the car coming from the other direction(方向)

B. the car could go faster than four miles an hour

C. they could make sure no one was in the way

D. the car would not hit them on the road

32. How did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?

A. They greeted(问候) Rolls when the car came along.

B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.

C. They pretended(假装) to be attracted(吸引) by something else.

D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.

33. The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to .

A. teach Rolls a lesson B. take a free ride home

C. have a talk with Rolls D. have a car ride experience

34. After the policeman jumped into the car ,Rolls .

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy.After all ,you probably sing or whistle(打口哨) when you are happy.

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy .However ,they sing most of the time for a very different reason .Their singing is actually a warningto other birds to stay out of their territory.

Do you know what a “territory” is ?A territory is an area(地区) that an animal ,usually the male(雄性), claims(声称)as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species(物种)are welcome .Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome . If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you ,you might shout .Probably this would be enough to frighten(惊吓) him away.

If so ,you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight

him .A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time,

especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming(尖叫) all the time ,whether he can see an outsider or no
t .This screaming is what we call a bird’s song ,and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

You can see that birds have a language of all
their own .Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

35. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’ singing is actually .

A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning

C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting

36. What is a bird’s “territory”?

A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.

B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.

C. An area for which birds fight against each other.

D. An area which a bird considers to be its own .

37. Why do birds keep on singing
at nesting season?

A. Because they want to invite more friends.

B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.

C. Because they want to find outsiders around.

D. Because their singing helps get rid of(摆脱) their fears(恐惧).

Dear Mr Expert:?

I grew up in an unhappy home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve got. 　　Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine — so much so that they make mine theirs.  It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. B
