2．One day in March，seven years ago，during happy hour at a bar in my hometown of Fayetteville，Arkansas，I made a surprise announcement to my friends：I was going to shut down my law practice and attempt to travel around the globe in a year.What's more，I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind.My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends.Some offered support and encouragement，while others were more doubtful.
Once I had said the words there was no turning back.It took months to shut down my practice and get things in order.Once I set off on my adventure in December 2008，I found travelling without using planes was not easy.Trying to circle the globe in 16 months （it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned） made it even harder.Even so，travelling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity （浩瀚無(wú)際） of our wonderful planet.
I took three consecutive （連續(xù)） overnight buses to travel 3，000 km through Argentina，from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires.I would look out the windows for hours on end of the completely unspoiled plains，as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing，each day spent staring out the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by.Sometimes，I wouldn't see a village or a human being for 10 hours.Later in my journey it took 22 days on a cargo freighter （貨船） to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia，to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than had imagined.Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack，looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations（住宿），and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere it also kept me flexible and open about all my travel plans，which is advice I give everyone who asks---plan far less than you think you should.

3．Transportation shapes the world：along with communications，it forms a global net that connects person to person，city to city，and country to country.Transportation routes as well as vehicles are vital to the functioning and spread of every civilization.
A country's economy depends on reliable transportation.Cities spread out along roads，rivers，and rails，so does information.Until the 20th century，these routes were confined to land or water.With the invention of powered flight，the air became an open road as well.The earliest way of traveling was undoubtedly by foot，and humans' earliest means of transporting goods was carrying loads on their back or head.By 4000 B.C.，people were using domesticated animals for transport，a method greatly improved in some parts of the world by the invention of the wheel，probably first developed around 3500 B.C.
Until the 19th century，animals were the engines of land transportation.But with the invention of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine，railroads and automobiles revolutionized travel and trade.More than 600 million cars and trucks travel the world today.
Water has always been a fast and efficient mode of travel，and even today it remains a primary mover of heavy goods.The importance of waterways to human civilization can be seen on any map：almost all of the world's major cities are located on coastlines or rivers.As early as 7000 B.C.，people were building canoes；long-distance ships were common by 3000 B.C.Until the 1950s，ships were the chief means of overseas passenger travel.
Although the Montgolfier brothers took flight in balloons in the 18th century，air travel was not practical until the invention of powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903.Within ten years，the commercial air transportation business had begun.
Since the 20th century，high-speed rail has become another convenient way of travel.Today，two-thirds of the world's high-speed rail track is in China，which measures nearly 30，000 kms，and this is expected to reach 38，000 kms by 2025.
（1）What is the passage mainly about？
A．Technological advancements in transport over time.
B．The influence of economic activities on transportation.
C．The relationship between transportation and information flows.
D．Reasons why land and sea transportation routes were important.
（2）Why does the writer mention the location of the world's major cities？
A．To encourage more people to move to big cities.
B．To explain why boats and ships continue to be irreplaceable.
C．To recommend water as a convenient and cheap form of transportation.
D．To emphasize the contribution of water transport to human development.
（3）What can we learn about air travel？
A．Balloons used to be one popular way of air travel.
B．The Montgolfier brothers invented powered flight.
C．The invention of airplanes helped popularize air travel.
D．Air travel became widespread soon after the balloon was invented.
（4）What is the total length of high-speed rail track in the world today？
A．About 57，000 kms.
B．About 45，000 kms.
C．About 38，000 kms.
D．About 30，000 kms.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living.One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30 a．m.When I arrived to collect，I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute，" answered a weak，elderly voice.
After a long time，the door opened.A small woman in her eighties stood before me.By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car，and then returned to help the woman.She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness."It's nothing，" I told her.
"I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh，you're such a good man，"she said.When we got into the taxi，she gave me an address，and then asked，"Could you drive through downtown？"
"It's not the shortest way，" I answered quickly.
"Oh，I'm in no hurry，"she said."I'm on my way to a hospice （臨終醫(yī)院）.I don't have any family left.The doctor says I don't have very long."
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter（計(jì)價(jià)器）.For the next two hours，we drove through the city.She showed me the building where she had once worked，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness，saying nothing.
At dawn，she suddenly said，"I'm tired.Let's go now."We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you？" she asked.
"Nothing，" I said.
"You have to make a living，" she answered."Oh，there are other passengers，" I answered.She said thanks to me，but she looked so sad.
