Millie was happy with her new home, but she was a little puzzled. Perhaps her mother was right. The British people are quite different. They didn’t k iss when they met each other and they lived on large old houses. Their favorite drink was tea and they used strange kettle to make the water hot.

How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there was not a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map—makers were explorers (探险家), especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines (海岸线). And people world use time, not distance (距离), to measure the way they went; the next village was a three—hour ride, for example.
In fact, in the early maps, people did not draw marks. They drew stars. It was very easy to the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities appeared. When towns and cities were built, people drew maps road maps which gave distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train was not the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change. His new design for the Underground map was not very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and 700,000 copies were printed in 1933.
These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly with a GPS. It’s really difficult to get lost!
( ) 35. When did road maps come out?
A. Around 15th and 16th centuries.
B. When people began to travel by train.
C. When people began to travel by sea.
D. When cities and towns were built.
( ) 36. Which of the following is TRUE?
A.GPS helped people to travel long time ago.
B.Ancient (古代的) people could travel on a horse without maps.
C.The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.
D.Henry Beck’s map was not popular with passengers.
( ) 37. What does the underlined word “measure” mean in Chinese?
A. 描述
B. 计划
C. 测量
D. 准备
( ) 38. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Maps have a long history.
B. We never get lost these days.
C. We can’t travel with maps.
D. Henry Beck designed a new map.
(C)
Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase (增长) of the world population (人口), which affects the environment in two days. Firstly, the limited energy resources (资源) will be used up mach faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another serious problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their result slowly over many years. They are also urgent (严重的) because delays in action can lead to great suffering (痛苦) and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to do with for most people. However, a person can be protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make the transport easier and quicker than before, but we can’t ignore (忽视) the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming (消耗) gasoline, which is a non-renewable resources, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas (排放的气体) from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can take a walking, take buses, carpool (合用汽车) instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can’t be so effective if a single person takes it. but, when more and more people understand the importance and positively take it as personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent (显著).

A. the increase of population

A. complain about (抱怨) people’s slow actions to protect the environment
B. advice people to take actions to protect the environment
C. show himself to be an active environment protector
D. point our the bad effects of the technologies in protecting environment
( ) 42. Because of the serious pollution, people had better ________________.
