高考英语复习限时阅读训练35

 (A)

Dear Sir,

I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route:  No. 49 and No. 16. However, by the time No. 16 reaches So UK Road, it is always full.    1    

    The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes.    2    The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.    3    

The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport.    4    There were 129 of them.

Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed: 50mph. ”    5    Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.

It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

Jerry

A. I counted the other passengers as they got off.

B. Is there anything we can do to change this?

C. The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip.

D. The distance from So UK Road to the airport is 10 miles.

E. This leaves No. 49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.

F. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

G. Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

 (B)

Choose friends who make you feel happy!

Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, “I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about,    6    ”

Then she invited me and eleven other women to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time.    7    She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! 8      I gratefully accepted her kind invitation.

9      Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn’t see themselves as optimistic people. “I told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy, ” she says.

10      In a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4, 739 people at regular interval over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly it also found that a person’s happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends!

A. She is one of my good friends.

B. Research shows such gatherings make sense.

C. Later she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation.

D. and you are on my list.

E. We would chat, eat and watch feel-good movies.

F. I e-mailed her back immediately.

G. She was not satisfied with the women.
