At the time，the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work，they would relocate(重新安家) their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems，the idea of the London Underground，the first subway system，was born. The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays（耽搁），but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3. 7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to fortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed)，and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However，the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)，as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems，riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year. 44. What led the British government to build the London Underground？A. Traffic jams and pollution. B. Population and pollution. C. Overcrowding and traffic jams. D. The poverty and subway problems. 45. How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？A. It made the tunnels larger. B. It put fans in the tunnels. C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels. D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train. 46. The underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “_”. A. be troublesome B. bee popular and fashionable(时髦)C. keep up with D. take up47. Which of the following is TRUE？A. To relocate the workers homes outside London，the government built the subway. B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened. C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic. D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.DToo many people want others to be their friends, but they dont give friendship back. That is why some friendship dont last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest, you may lose friends trust. Good friends always depend on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in mon. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.48. Some friendships dont last very long because_.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersC. some people receive friendship but dont give friendship back D. they dont know friendship is something serious49. The best title of this passage is_. A. Honesty is the Best Policy B. A Friend in Need is a Friend IndeedC. How to be Friend D. Three Important Points in Life50. Which of the following is Not mentioned（提及）in the passage?A. Always tell your friends the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D.
