第3题：

Over a holiday weekend, a certain car dealer sold off 4 of the cars on its lot. If the cars sold for an average of $6,000 each, how many cars were on the dealer's lot at the beginning of the weekend?

(1) The average value of the remaining cars on the lot is $5,000.

(2) The car dealer made $48,000 in car sales over the weekend.


正确答案：B
B 解析：Given statement (1) alone, we only know average values of both the cars that were sold and the cars that remained; the dealer could have sold 4 cars and had 1 left, or sold 8 cars and had 2 left, or an infinite number of other options. So we can eliminate A and D.
With statement (2), we are able to find the number of cars sold by dividing the total sales by the average price. 48,000/6,000=8, so the dealer sold 8 cars. Since that is 4/5 of the cars on the lot, the dealer started off with 10 cars. Statement (2) is sufficient, so the answer is B.

Passage Three

People enjoy talking about "firsts." They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts

are happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.

One of history's bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily, the rider was not killed.

Three years later, another automobile first took place. The scene was again New York City, a real estate broker named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.

44. In each accident the driver was ______.

A. found guilty

B. set free

C. laughed at

D. put in jail for a while

第10题：

Text l Cycling in London is less pleasant than in many European cities.Main roads teem with lorries;winding back streets are hard Lo navigate.The number of bicycle journeys has nonetheless doubled since 2000.Nationally,just 2qo pedal to work.In Hackney,in London's East End,fully 9%do.But only 2%of women cycle to work in London,compared with 5%of men.Blacks and other ethnic minorities are reluctant to do it,too.Bori6 Johnson,London's mayor,oversaw the introduction of a bike-hiring scheme,which was started by his predecessor but quickly became known as the"Boris bike".He pushed for bright blue cycle paths on some busy roads.But the new cycle highways are far more ambitious and permanent.One will run east-west through the City and the West End.Another will run two miles from Elephant and Castle in the south to Farringdon in north London.Four existinE;routes will also be improved,while around 30 0f the city's busiest junctions wiU be made a bit less dangerous.The new superhighways ought io be much safer than London's existing cycle lanes.A raised pavement will keep cyclists away from cars and lorries.Junctions will be redesigned and some parking bays-including a rew for the disabled-will be removed.Cars will be prevented from turning down certain streets.Similar schemes exist elsewhere:since 2007 around 30 miles of protected cycle lanes have been created in New York.In Amsterdam,where lanes have existed for decades,old people and women are far more inclined to cycle.Greens have long lobbied for cycle paths on the grounds that movin8 people out of cars cuts air poUution.A series of highly publicised accidents,including one involving a newspaper journalist,and several deaths in the city have also put pressure on the mayor to make London safer.And the social transformation of the capital has encouraged officials to smile on cyclists.The population of inner London is rebounding as affluenL folk move in.The new inhabitants want cleaner streets and fewer cars,which are viewed as suburban.Cycling was once a means of transport for the poor.But it has become an imporlant marker of an affluent world city,argues Isabel Dedring,the deputy mayor for transport."There's more pressure on cities to be nice places to live,"she says.
Riding a bike in London is unpleasant because of the city's——

A.enormous number of cyclists
B.numerous winding main sLreets
C.heavy traffic and complex terrain
D.complicated and changeable weather

答案：C
解析：
细节题。根据题干nding a bike in London is unpleasant定位到首段首句：Cycling in London is less pleasant than in many European cities.题干问原因，答案句来自原文第二句：Main roads teem with lorries;winding back streets are hard Io navigate.“主干道上挤满了卡车；里弄小巷又很难骑行。”与答案句相符的选项为[C]heavy traffic and complex terrain“交通拥堵．地形复杂。”其中main roads teem wirh lorries说明“交通拥堵”，winding back streets are hard to navigate说明“地形复杂”。选项[A]enormous number of cyclists“大量自行车骑行者”；该项与答案句毫无关联，可以排除。[B]numerous winding main streets“无数蜿蜒曲折的主干道”；原文说的是winding back streets“蜿蜒曲折的小路”，而不是main streets“主干道”，该项属于偷换概念。[D]complicated and changeable weather“复杂多变的天气”；该项文章并无提及，属于无中生有。综上，本题答案为[C]。
