(2020·湖州五校模擬)In 2011, the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles. Most of the old buses were deserted, a few were sold, and about 100 of them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum at some stage.
A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldn’t have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses. Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the bus just by looking at its color—Sliema was green and white, Zabbar was red and white with a blue stripe(條紋) etc. Later, the buses all had numbers. For a while, they were all painted green and white before the “final” orange, yellow and white.
In their prime,__walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station, you would have found it very difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design. Most of them had locally built bodies. On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge, Leyland, Bedford ect. You were equally likely to find football pennants(錦旗) and the like decorating the cabs. Real bus experts would have recognized that these were there mainly for decorative reasons, and were seldom an accurate reflection of the vehicle’s origins.
Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station. They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more comfortable than the older types. However, I miss the old buses. I remember, when you boarded your bus, you had to prepare the correct change to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on. If you were seated anywhere near the front, you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the right of their steering wheel. The reason for this, as any Maltese would tell you, was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them. I wonder where the pet sits these days.
【解題導(dǎo)語】　2011年馬耳他老式交通工具被現(xiàn)代的交通工具取代，老式公交車正式成為過去。
1．What makes a pre-2011 visit to Malta special according to paragraph 2?
A．Traveling in colorful buses.
B．Using buses with stripes.
C．Painting buses bright colors.
D．Telling destinations by different colors.
A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldn’t have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses.”可推知，2011年以前，五彩繽紛的公交車是馬耳他的一大特色。故選A。
2．Which of the following best explains “prime” underlined in paragraph 3?
A．Painful time.　　　　　
B．Exciting time.
C．Moment of fantasy.
D．Moment of glory.
D　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，第三段主要講述了老式公交車的盛行時(shí)期，因此畫線詞意為“在盛行時(shí)期”。故選D。
3．How would the author feel about the old style Malta buses?
A．Comfortable.
B．Environment-friendly.
C．Safe.
D．Memorable.
D　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容，尤其是“However, I miss the old buses.”可知，作者非常懷念馬耳他老式公交車。故選D。
【難句分析】　In their prime, walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station, you would have found it very difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design.
分析：句中walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station為現(xiàn)在分詞短語作伴隨狀語，find it＋adj.＋to do sth.為固定用法。
譯文：在它們的鼎盛時(shí)期，走在瓦萊塔汽車站的Triton噴泉附近你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)看到兩輛設(shè)計(jì)一模一樣的公交車是很難的。
B
Traveling by subway can sometimes be quite an adventure, especially during rush hour. There are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill(濺) on you. The smells of some passengers’ food are very strong, too.
According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway. Violators(違規(guī)者) who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. The violation will also be recorded in the violators’ credit record.
Some support the rule. The reason is that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers.“The smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer. Besides, eating on the subway produces rubbish. And on the subway, people often spill their drinks，” said Zheng Yiou, 17, a student from Hefei.
However, others question this rule.“Some citizens live so far from their workplaces that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work. Eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work，” He Songlin, a 17-year-old student from Chengdu said.“And some people, like those with low blood sugar levels, get sick if they can’t eat when they must.”
Other Chinese cities like Nanjing and Chengdu have similar regulations. Some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway. For example, eating and drinking have long been banned on the subway in Washington, D．C. Singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 Singapore dollars.
Chen Yanyan, a professor from Beijing University of Technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat or drink on the subway.“Commuters(上班族) and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. Maybe we could learn from Tokyo, where there are many subway stations equipped with services, allowing passengers to eat and drink，” she said.
【解題導(dǎo)語】　《北京市軌道交通乘客守則》規(guī)定在地鐵上禁止乘客(除了病人和嬰兒)吃東西、喝飲料。南京和成都等城市和一些國外的城市也出臺(tái)了相應(yīng)的規(guī)定。有些人支持這一規(guī)定，也有一些人認(rèn)為在地鐵上吃喝能節(jié)省時(shí)間、避免上班遲到，而且有些人是因?yàn)樯眢w原因必須吃喝。北京工業(yè)大學(xué)的一名教授認(rèn)為我們可以學(xué)習(xí)東京地鐵站的做法。
4．In which city were subway passenger regulations carried out on May 15th?
A．Chengdu.　　　　　　　　 B．Nanjing.
C．Washington, D．C. D．Beijing.
D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句中的“According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on May 15th”可知，D項(xiàng)正確。
5．What is Chen Yanyan’s attitude to eating or drinking on the subway?
A．Worried. B．Sympathetic.
C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.
B　解析：觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)尾段內(nèi)容可知，陳教授認(rèn)為，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)考慮一些人對在地鐵上吃喝的需求。上班族和旅客太忙，沒有時(shí)間吃飯，故應(yīng)當(dāng)學(xué)習(xí)東京的做法，在地鐵站配備相應(yīng)的服務(wù)系統(tǒng)，允許乘客在地鐵站吃喝。據(jù)此可推知，陳教授是贊同在地鐵上吃喝的，故B項(xiàng)正確。
6．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Food and Drink Banned on Subway
B．The Adventure of Subway Traveling
C．Ways to Eat and Drink on Subway
D．The Services on Subway Stations
A　解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文第二段第一句“According to the Beijing subway passenger regulations...passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway.”為全文的主題句；并結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹了《北京市軌道交通乘客守則》的規(guī)定，即除嬰兒和病人外，乘客不得在地鐵上吃喝；并介紹了與此有類似規(guī)定的城市的情況及人們對此的態(tài)度，故A項(xiàng)最適合作本文標(biāo)題。
