第三部分 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分 40分）
阅读下列短文从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
56. The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means ______:
A. clear enough B. good enough C. common enough D. special enough
57. The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because
A. he had planned for that for a long time
B. he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
C. his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
D. he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
58. How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
A. He joined a handwriting training class.
B. He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
C. He practiced writing mainly on his own.
D. He employed a coach to teach him online.
59. What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
A. Better. B. Perfect. C. Worse. D. Unacceptable.
B

C
In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes（车道） for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest place of open ground in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.
But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
64. In New York , a group of bike riders______.
A. are keeping practising for health
B. have no cars of their own
C. are complaining（埋怨） there are not enough buses
D. are trying to settle the problem of air pollution
65. The bike riders suggest that______.
A. bicycles should be used instead of cars
B. bicycle lanes should be drawn
C. fewer buses or cars should be used
D. the number of special lanes should be increased
66. The advantage of the special lanes is that______.
A. they will make cars and buses run slowly
B. they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks
C. they will make the city more beautiful
D. the lanes will prevent accidents
67. The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn
A. so that everyone is disappointed.
B. because there are different opinions.
C. because most people travel by train.
D. because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough.
