William Vickrey was the pineer t prpse cngestin pricing in 1952 fr NYC's (New Yrk City)subways and later fr rads. It has been rejected fr decades,but the idea finally has the green light in NYC fficially. Earlier this mnth the Metrplitan Transprtatin Authrity (MTA),the agency tasked with enfrcing cngestin pricing,gave the plicy the g-ahead. Frm May,decades after Lndn made the identical mve,drivers f cars int NYC's central business districts will have t pay.
The hpe is that the fees will ease the traffic burden. Cmmercial znes where cars crawl are listed t be charging znes. The MTA expects much fewer vehicles n the city's streets, which shuld decrease air pllutin and prmte the ecnmy. But what made the plan successful was what it shuld bring in—$1bn annually—needed fr MTA capital prjects, which shuld imprve reliability as well as access t the transprt system.
Nevertheless,the plan has nt been met with universal delight. Take New Jersey,sme f whse regins are within NYC,as an example. Since New Jersey drivers have paid t crss int the city befre,the state has filed suit(上诉). Phil Murphy,New Jersey's gvernr, wh supprts pricing in principle,but nt seemingly in actuality,has said that“We can't fix a brken MTA in NYC n the back f New Jersey cmmuters(通勤者). ”Frt Lee,a twn n the New Jersey side f the Washingtn Bridge,has raised air-quality cncerns. It expects increased traffic as lrry drivers try t avid paying fees.
“Past years have witnessed the decline f fuel taxes as a revenue surce in transprt while cngestin pricing culd be the pssible alternative. If NYC is really cmmitted t ding it,they will cme t sme kind f settlement. ”says Nicle Celina f the Manhattan Institute.
8．What can we learn abut cngestin pricing?
A. It applies t American drivers. B. It was designed fr rads initially.
C. It gained apprval in Lndn befre. D. It is rejected by the American authrities.
9．What is the main reasn fr the MTA's supprt fr cngestin pricing?
A. T develp the ecnmy. B. T relieve the traffic lad.
C. T btain financial benefits. D. T imprve the envirnment.
10．What is New Jersey's attitude t cngestin pricing?
A. Favrable. B. Hesitant. C. Objective. D. Disapprving.
11．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Fewer Vehicles Are Expected in NYC
B. NYC Charges Drivers t Bst Ecnmy
C. NYC' s Cngestin Fee Faces Cntrversy
D. Cngestin Pricing Dissatisfies New Jersey
Native wild hrses in Nrth America went extinct 10,000 years ag. In the 16th century, Eurpean settlers brught dmesticated(驯化了的)hrses t this cntinent,and their ppulatin multiplied. Sme peple cnsider them as a reintrduced native species,while thers see them as invasive pests that damage ecsystems. Tday there are mre wild hrses in the American West than the land can supprt,and the gvernment has t cntrl their numbers thrugh birth-cntrl vaccines and ccasinal but cntrversial killings.
Hwever,Erick Lundgren,a pstdc at Aarhus University,ntes that large plant-eaters play a crucial rle in the ecsystem,where grass and shrubs are either cnsumed by animals r burned. Therefre,reintrducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild hrses in this case, culd ptentially reduce the ccurrence f fires. He advcates taking them ff the rang-elands(牧场),where they're hated fr cmpeting with cattle fr fd,and strategically placing them where they can d what they d best and benefit the envirnment.
Althugh cnservatinists generally prefer native rganisms t restre ecsystems, nn-native species can fill in the eclgical gaps left by extinct animals. A lt f research still lks at hw bad invasive species are fr the envirnment,but that's nt the nly pssibility. Fr example,Australian saltwater crcdiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are nw a species f“least cncern”,thanks t the invasive pigs they've cme t feast n.
“Peple will prtest that a species desn't belng here. But the wrd belng'isn't science;it's nativism. ”Lundgren said. Many f the areas we cnsider“wilderness”tday were eclgic created by native peple wh pruned(修剪)plants and watched ver cntrlled burns. “We're changing the planet quickly yet refusing t let the living beings n it change with it. ”he said. If we take away the issue f belnging and cnsciusly assign the nn-native species a rle t play,what we're left with is a wilder and mre diverse wrld.
12．What d we knw abut wild hrses in Nrth America tday?
A. Their ppulatin grws rapidly. B. They are native t the cntinent.
C. Their living spaces are narrwing. D. They are prtected frm being killed.
13．Hw culd we use wild hrses t cntrl wildfires?
A. Leave them undisturbed. B. Remve them frm rang-elands.
C. Prmte their reprductive rate. D. Utilize their grass-eating nature.
14．What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The value f nn-native animals. B. The effrts in ecsystem restratin.
C. The need fr prtecting native species. D. The imprtance f preserving bidiversity.
15．What des the last paragraph suggest ding?
A. Reducing human impact n nature. B. Frbidding invasin f new species.
C. Staying pen t nn-native animals. D. Returning animals t native habitats.

15．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段，“But the wrdbelng' isn't science;it's nativism”和”If we take away the issue f belnging and cnsciusly assign the nn-native species a rle t play,what we're left with is a wilder and mre diverse wrld"可知，belng这个词不是科学，而是本土主义，如果我们不考虑物种到底属不属于这个地方，而是有意识地让外来物种发挥其生态作用，那我们将会拥有一个更加多样化的世界，即我们对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度，不能一概否定，故选择C。
16．答案：①-⑤DBGAF
解析：①后一句“But mre and mre, families tend t bring multiple generatins with them.(但越来越多的家庭倾向于多代同游。)”说越来越多的家庭倾向于多代同游，前后之间是转折关系，空处应说在过去多代同游是少见的，D项“几十年前，这样的场景是罕见的。”符合题意。故选D。

③根据第三段首句“The shift tward multi-generatinal travel has a few explanatins.(向多代同游的转变有几个解释。)”可知，本段解释了多代同游流行的原因。空前一句“Fr ne, grandparents tday stay healthy later in life, allwing them mre energy fr travel.(一个解释是，今天的祖父母在晚年的生活中保持健康，让他们有更多的精力旅行。)”是第一个原因，选项G“此外，通过在线平台，团体住宿变得更加实惠。”里的“Als”说明是第二个原因，后文“Plus”说明是第三个原因，故选G。
④结合第3题分析可知，前面的“Fr ne”“Als”“Plus”分别对应解释了三个原因，A选项“另一种解释是时间压力。”中的“Anther explanatin”说明是第四个原因，且跟后文“Americans are taking fewer vacatin days than they did in the 1970s.(与20世纪70年代相比，美国人的假期减少了。)”相照应，说明时间有限也是原因之一，故选A。
⑤根据前文中的“Away frm the family hme, lder generatins get t see their adult children as respnsible parents. Kids get t see their grandparents encunter a new envirnment.(在远离家庭的地方，老一辈的人将成年子女视为负责任的父母。孩子们可以看到他们的祖父母遇到一个新的环境。)”可知，每个人都能从远离家庭的环境中感受到新的东西，由此可知，多代同游可以让每个人都摆脱家庭角色，F选项“每个人都可以摆脱家庭角色，想办法在一起。”符合题意。故选F。

32．答案：①has been perfrmed②What③wrapped④in⑤strngest⑥the⑦mving⑧applause⑨basic⑩t inspire
解析：①考查谓语动词。根据木句话“fr ver 100 years”可知，此句想表达否港大坑舞火龙已经被表演了100多年了，因此使用现在完成时的被动语态。
②考查名词性从句。“has becme”是谓语动词，前面是主语从句，从句里主语缺失，且指代件事，因此填what。
③考查非谓语动词。with结构中its bdy和wrap是动宾关系，H拙述状态，因此用wrapped。
④考查介词。in tum是固定搭配，意为“轮流”。
⑤考查形容词最高级。此处表示“队伍里最强壮的那个人”。
⑥考查冠词。have the hnr f ding sth. 是固定搭配，意为“有做……的荣幸”,定冠词the特指做某事的荣幸。
⑦考查非谓语动词。动名词短语“Dzens f perfrmers mving the dragn smthly up and dwn thrugh the air”做句子的主语，动词mve要用动名词形式，即mving。
⑧考查词形转换。根据前文“cheers and”,可知此处填applaud的名词形式，即applause,不可数名词。
⑨考查词形转换。此处意为“从制作技巧到基本的舞蹈技能”,因此用base的形容词形式，即basic。
⑩考查非谓语动词。根据“he Hng Kng Tai Hang Fire Dragn Museum was pened”,可知句子结构完整，故用inspire的非谓语t inspire作品的状语。

Meanwhile,a flush f dissatisfactin and then fury verwhelming the crwd,they began t yell. Evidently,Sctt was scared,rted t the spt,with his frehead sweaty and his face pale. At the sight f this,I stepped frward,cleared my thrat and shuted t explain Sctt's spirit f devtin despite disability. Astnishment and then silence tk hld f the crwd,after which she aplgized and returned the scp.
Tears blurred his eyes as Sctt gt hld f the scp again. Te strained every nerve t cntrl his hands t scp ice cream. S regretful was the wman that she even came t assist him.

It was at this mment that I came t the enlightenment that this experience was a testament f understanding,warmth and kindness.
