Passage 7

With gas prices at more than $4 per gallon, many Upton citizens are being forced to break their regular routine and change their way of living.

In the past, high gas prices meant Uptonites would postpone their weekend trip or even summer vacation, but today, Utonites are changing more than travel plans.

“I started riding my bike to run errands in town” said resident Dale Brown. “But I still have to commute into the city for work, and I’m paying nearly double in gas: I may have to look for a new job.”

Not only are people riding bicycles more, buses have been fuller than usual, and the gas prices are forcing the city council to discuss increasing ticket prices by 20cents.

Still many people are driving as usual, but filling their tanks only half way. “1 get calls a few times per week that they’ve run out of gas, so I drive out to where they are and bring them gas,” said Marty Watson, owner of Marty’s Gas Station. “It’s a shame that(the gas) is not as affordable, so people fill up less and get stuck.”

Passage 8

The West Virginia Department of Tourism and the Cumberland Transportation Department are proud to announce the re-opening of the Ottoman River Ferry. Originally opened in 1811, the Ottoman River Ferry linked Cumberland, Maryland to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, providing an important supply route between Maryland and West Virginia at the turn of the the 19th century. In operation for more than 70 years, the Ferry closed after a series of devastating floods washed away docking facilities in 1899 and 1924.

The Potomac River Ferry runs the same route as the original ferry, transporting pedestrians and vehicles to and from Cumberland and Harpers Ferry. The Ferry currently runs ten times a day on two different boats, the Yankee Clipper and the Rebel Yell. Only the Yankee Clipper carries both massager and vehicles. Absolutely no vehicles over 5 tons are permitted on the ferry.

The ferry will begin operation on Sunday, April 2nd, 2006. To celebrate the re-opening of the ferry, all pedestrians and bicyclists can ride for free on Sunday. Normal rates apply for vehicles. See the attached schedule for a list of fares.

To prevent over crowing during peak times, reservations are required for vehicles with more than 4 wheels. Vehicle reservations also require prepayment by traveler’s check, bank money order, or credit card. Do not send cash by mail. Personal checks are not accepted.

Residents of West Virginia and Maryland may obtain a discounted rate by showing any of the following documents:

lCurrent driver’s license

Current state-issued identification cardlValid voter registration card

27. What is the main purpose of the information?

A. To reissue the schedule for crossing a local water way.

28. Why was the Ferry closed for so many years?

B. A current Maryland driver’s license.

答案

23.【答案】B。解析：主旨題。本文通篇都在討論油價上漲對人們生活的影響，故答案為B。

25.【答案】D。解析：推斷題。根據(jù)第四段...the gas prices are forcing the city council to discuss increasing ticket prices by 20cents.可知市議會將會提高公共交通工具的價格，故答案為D。

Passage 8

27.【答案】C。解析：主旨題。首句是主旨句，可知本文意在告知大家Ottoman River Ferry重新開放的消息。

28.【答案】D。解析：細節(jié)題。第一段最后一句里說the ferry closed after a series of devastating floods, 表達這個意思的是D。

29.【答案】D。解析：推斷題。本題關(guān)鍵詞是reservation，文中包含相同詞語的句中寫明vehicles with more than 4 wheels，所以答案是D。more than 4 wheels 的概念不包括 4個的情況，是指5個及5個以上的情況。

30.【答案】A。解析：細節(jié)題。本題關(guān)鍵詞是residency，在最后一段中可找到單詞residents，同時下面也提出了3項證明。A錯誤，文中寫到的地區(qū)是West Virginia和Maryland，而A直接寫到了Virginia，這與原文是不相符的，Virginia和West Virginia 是不同的州。
