III.阅读理解(共10小题，计20分)

Such English idioms as “as poor as a church mouse” and “like a drowned (淹死的) rat” remind people of the unfavorable images of mice and rats. But with his efforts in the 20^th, an American young man Walt Disney changed peoples’ view.

Born in 1901 in Chicago, Walt Disney was a newspaper seller, and fond of drawing pictures. Later he went to study arts in a Chicago institute. One day when he was thinking hard how to draw a picture in a building, several mice crawled onto the drawing board. Walt fed them with bread bits, and they played happily.

Suddenly an idea struck Walt. He drew a mouse on the paper and named it Mickey. Then Walt began to make cartoon films based on Mickey. He also made use of the newest skill in dubbing （为......配音）in his cartoons so that Mickey was able to talk. In 1932 a Walt Disney cartoon film won the Oscar.

In mid-1950s, Walt planned a Disneyland in California, and within 10 years, Mickey, the little mouse, helped him to make 200 million dollars. Then another Disneyland was set up in Florida. Mickey Mouse seemed to become the symbol(象征) of American amusements.

In the Mickey Mouse film, when Mickey did anything wrong or foolish, letters of protest(抗议) would soon be sent to Disney. He then created Donald Duck and Pluto to do the silly things so that Mickey was always pretty and honest. With Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney challenged the worldly view that it was able to change the nature of anything born in dirty surroundings.

In 1974, the price of petrol in Britain rose by 120 percent; cars became expensive to run and train and bus fares increased. People who hadn’t used a bike since they were children decided that they would buy one. They discovered that biking could be enjoyable and cheap.

Bike sales had been falling for many years but suddenly everything changed. In 1975, British people spent more than 1 million pound on bikes. Bike traffic increased by 11 percent.

Bike fans compare cost of riding a car with the cost of riding a bike. They also say bike-riding is a good form of exercise. In towns bikes can often be faster than cars and buses. The biker can ride through traffic blocks and at the end of his journey he doesn’t have to look for a parking space. Biking through the countryside is a real pleasure: the biker has time to see that the motorist, driving at over 100 kilometres an hour never see.

But in the cities, biking can be dangerous. You need all attention and strong nerves, especially when a truck or bus is trying to pass you. Since biking became popular again, there has been an increase in the number of accidents.

Bikers say the answer to this problem is to separate bikes from other traffic. Stevenage, a new town near London, has a system of “bikeways”, where bikers are only allowed to travel. However, in most towns, say bikers, the needs of the bike rider are overlooked. Bikers have formed into “action group” in many towns in Britain. They want to persuade local departments---who are in charge of the roads and traffic in their areas---to make sure they are safe equipment for bikers. Or, they say, interest in biking will die.

   A. trains and buses are too crowded

B. the cost of riding bikes is much cheaper than that of taking trains or buses

C. there are a lot of thieves on the trains or in the buses

57.What is special about traffic in Britain today?

   A. More and more people ride bikes.   B. More and more people like to take trains.

C. Taking train is much safer than taking buses.  D. No people like to take buses.

58.The main reason for so many people’s riding bikes in England is that_______.

   A. bike-riding does good to people      B. a bike is easy to take care of

C. a bike is much cheaper than a car     D. there is no need of a parking place for a bike

59.Riding bike has many strong points, but it becomes popular_______.
