1、Unit 5 What an adventure课时作业(十五)Unit 5Section Developing ideas.阅读理解A Think of London and you will probably remember the bright red doubledecker buses. Think of Thailands capital city, Bangkok, and the noisy tuktuks may come to mind. Think of San Francisco and you might see the citys cable cars. Imag
2、ining what these cities would look like without those is difficult. They are symbols of these cities that make them different. However, these city symbols are not always so well loved by their city leaders. City leaders want what is best for their city, which often means the most modern transport.In
3、 Bangkok, city leaders have banned (禁止) tuktuks because they consider them noisy and polluting. However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful as it has not changed Thai peoples love for the cheap tuktuks over taxis. In London the citys first ever mayor (市长) removed the red doubledecker buses, which
4、 he thought were old fashioned.His plan worked, but Londoners were unhappy to lose the nice old buses they believed represented the best of their city. They made their unhappiness felt when the mayor came up for reelection. Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back.
5、 As for San Francisco, several cable cars are still in use but mainly as tourist attractions. They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips. City transport symbols may have a place in their city peoples hearts, but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world.
6、 As Londoners have proved, their continued life depends on peoples willingness to fight for their survival.1Whats the authors purpose of writing the first paragraph?ATo introduce some city transport symbols.BTo explain why some cities are popular.CTo talk about modern transport in some cities.DTo at

9、.BThe writer thinks highly of the old city transport symbols.COld city transport symbols face the problem of survival.DTourist cities will lose their attraction without the symbols.BThere are few clear rules in the UK saying drivers should not park on the pavement (人行道). But Scotland, a country of B
10、ritain, is planning a complete ban on pavement paking. And, earlier this year, the UK government admitted it was considering changing the law for the other parts of Britain.Joe Irvin of Living Streets (the UK charity for everyday walking) says there is “no excuse” for the disagreement and has called
11、 on the UK government to act the same way.“Pavement parking is really thoughtlessand if you think about people with wheelchairs, pushchairs, or sight impairment (受损), they have to go out on to the road，” says Mr Irvin.Steve Hynd, from Bristol, said his father, who uses a wheelchair, had recently end
12、ed up in hospital after a parked car had blocked his path.“My dads experience was near his care home，” he says. “He was trying to wheel himself back inside and a car had parked up on the pavement. He tried to get around it and fell out of his wheelchair.”“He went to hospital. Hed hurt his head and g
13、ot a black eye where his glasses had gone in.”Groups such as the AA and RAC admit “some streets” should not allow pavement parking if it causes problems to emergency vehicles (紧急车辆)but they do not believe in a complete ban across the country.AA president Edmund King says, “We would be concerned if t
14、here was a total ban. It is clearly possible in some areas to park on the pavement while still allowing room for pushchairs or people in wheelchairs to pass.”Hugh Bladon of the Alliance of British Drivers argues a complete ban would cause serious problems as some streets were so narrow.The simple wa
15、y to deal with the problems, Mr Bladon believes, is that all drivers must leave at least one metre between their car and the inside of the pavement to allow people with pushchairs and so on to pass by.5What should the UK government do according to Joe Irvin?AGive equal rights to drivers in the UK.BP

28、而推测他并不支持全面禁止在人行道上停车。8答案与解析：D细节理解题，由最后一段可知，Bladon希望司机们在人行道上停车的时候可以给行人留出一定的空间让他们通过。.完形填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者上中学时，因为在课堂上不会做题而被全班取笑。课后老师的一条留言鼓励了她，使作者在以后的求学中更加坚强，更有决心去克服困难，解决所有遇到的问题。1答案与解析：B考查动词辨析。结合文意，老师叫“我”到白板上做(do)一道除法题。do a problem 为固定搭配，意为“做题；解决问题”。find 意为“发现”，make 意为“制作，使”，examine 意为“检查；调查”，均不符合文
