It is apparent that traffic congestion has long been a problem of great concern and complaint in big cities. It has caused a lot of inconvenience to people's life and work. For example, people have to set off well in advance to get to work on time and come back very late when their work is over. Therefore arguments about providing free public transport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week are simply a response to solve this problem. It seems logical that providing 24/7 free public transport, like underground and bus, could produce some positive outcomes, among which stands out convenience. This means that commuters could travel by any mode of public transport at any time. Moreover, it is free of charge, which might slightly ease the financial burden on the poor or people of middle class. Certainly, this would attract more public transport users. So the number of private cars may be reduced considerably.
However, this approach would exert more negative outcomes if it is carried out. One main disadvantage is the low-quality public service. By making it free of charge, public transport service would, of course, degrade to a certain degree, since the vehicle will be crowded and even suffocating. Another problem is that few people would use public transport at late night or in the very early morning; this would be a great waste in terms of public funds.
To solve traffic gridlock, reasonable support for the public transport system is needed. But instead of making it 24 / 7 free of charge, the availability of convenient and reliable transport options could be promoted and people need to be able to afford them. In addition, certain restrictions should be put on unnecessary car use, for instance short journeys within already congested areas. More importantly, the government need to implement reasonable city road plan, because a big proportion of traffic jams are caused by inappropriate road construction.
In conclusion, 24/7 free public transport would not be an effective measure to resolve traffic congestion in the long term; hence other strategies need to be implemented at the same time.

英语写作试题（一） I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided. Attaining Success in College Succeeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable. Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things. In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough. II. Write an outline (20 points) Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it. Smell Smell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person, but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors. Most people in the West respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or
