27、 You may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.
No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (文化标识).
In London, to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”, also called the “Tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and it is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the Tube is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a Tube station.
New York is famous for its Yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn’t take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy, just stick out your arm like what you do in any city. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.
Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.
But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit you’d better rent a car. The city’s public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre. That’s why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.
【1】How will you travel if you have a chance to London and want to avoid the traffic jam?
A.Riding a vehicle. B.Taking a taxi.
C.Taking the subway. D.Renting a car.
【2】Which type of transportation has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?
A.Noisy vehicles. B.Cable cars.
C.The subway. D.Yellow cabs.
【3】Which of the following is not the reason why people in Los Angeles like their private cars?
A.The public transportation is terrible.
B.It is not expensive to take a private car.
C.The underground railway covers a small part of the city center.
D.People have to spend hours getting across Los Angeles by bus.
【4】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.how different the big cities are
B.how to avoid the traffic jams in big cities
C.why London has the oldest and most complicated subway
D.why people call New York the Big Apple

29、When photographer Simon Czapp took pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, he soon realized this little fox was attracted by his subject. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快门按钮) and took her own frames.
Mr. Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. Jessie is a lovely little fox. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire—home to wolves, deer and others in 25 acres of ancient woodland after being abandoned by her mother.
Mr. Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not shy at all in front of the camera. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三脚架). She stood on her back legs to look at the back of the camera. She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over. ”
He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr. Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving away with the public’s viewing window (取景窗) behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. However, when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two frames of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe I had been outfoxed (智取) by a fox! There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too! ”
