[参考答案]如果你只走短距离的路程,在大多数城市里最快捷的办法是步行。在上班时间,大多数城市的街道交通都很拥挤、有些地方有时完全阻塞。结果,许多人宁愿步行。因此,你应该注意某些交通法规。许多城市除路口外,随处横过马路是违法的。你应当等到对面亮起绿色交通灯时,再过马路。在小市镇,因为交通通常没有那么拥挤,可能不那么严格遵守这些规则。不过交通法规的目的是为大家提供安全保护。如果你是来自靠左边行驶的国家,就尤其要遵守交通信号。记住过马路时,要注意左右两边的车辆。2001 年上半年

Tourism is a
luxury. Until recently,
participation 13 restricted to the select few 14 could afford both the time and money to travel. 15 ,increased
leisure and higher incomes have combined to
enable more people to join in. Improvements in
transportation, and the growth of inclusive(全包的)tours and other forms of

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this
continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and
expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers,
decided that the American colonists(殖民者)should help pay some of the expenses of this war. A
standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies(殖民地)for
protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a
series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It
affectedeveryone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young
lawyer from Virginia - Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for
discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so
openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and
slavery? Forbid it, Almighty(万能的)God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
