1.We all remember seeing hitchhikers,standing by the side of the road,thumb sticking out,waiting for a lift.But it is getting(50)C nowadays.What killed hitchhiking?(51)D is often mentioned as a reason.Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off(52)B hitchhikers.That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt(53)C the safety fear:a large,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more(54)A:hitchhiking happens where people don't have cars and transport services are poor.Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania.Perhaps the rising level of (55)B in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange.Why can't they afford cars?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old.The (56)A hitchhiking population is therefore small.Yet my trip proves it's still
(57)A to hitchhike.The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer,retired surgeon,tank commander,carpenter,man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains.My(58)D is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red,spotted scarves.Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn't help(59)B.
The(60)A of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet,via sites such as hitchhikers.org.But for now,you can still stick your thumb out (actually,I didn't do much of that,(61)C just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful,caring,sharing,unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK,with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service,I don't think I'll make a
(62)B of it.But having(63)A it so much,I'm ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond.In the 1970s a female friend of my wife's hitchhiked to India.How wonderful it would be to have another go,though Afghanistan might be a(n) (64)D.I wish I'd got that tank commander's mobile number.

50.A.frequentB.meaninglessC.rareD.unbelievable
51.A.ExpenseB.DistanceC.LocationD.Safety
52.A.refusingB.picking upC.savingD.getting rid of
53.A.eliminatesB.strengthensC.reflectsD.multiplies
54.A.complexB.relevantC.personalD.persuasive

分析 本文讲述了现在站在路边搭载搭便车的人越来越少.文章分析了搭便车人少的原因.

解答 50.C 考查上下文理解.根据下一句What killed hitchhiking是什么扼杀了搭便车,可以知道搭便车的人应该是越来越少了,rare"稀少的"所以答案选C.
51.D 考查上下文理解.根据下文句子内容是:关于杀人的旅行者和现实生活中的犯罪电影使许多司机拒绝搭车. 可以看出这里安全是一个经常提到的搭便车减少的原因,所以答案选D.
52.B 考查句意理解.根据句意:关于杀人的旅行者和现实生活中的犯罪电影使许多司机拒绝搭车.pick up是固定短语"顺路接某人",所以答案选B.
53.C 考查上下文联系.后文中写到a large,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous一个身材高大,穿着奇特的男子被看作是危险的,所以路上没有一个单身女的搭我去曼彻斯特毫无疑问是考虑安全,reflect动词"考虑",所以答案选C.
54.A 考查词义辨析.complex"复杂的";relevant"有意义的,相关的";  personal"个人的";persuasive"令人信服的",根据句意可知这里搭便车减少的原因应该不仅仅是安全问题,应该是复杂的,所以答案选A.
55.B 考查上下文联系.下文主要是写的拥有车的问题,所以上一句的句意是:也许英国汽车保有量的上升意味着很少有人搭便车,这通常被认为是奇怪的,说得是汽车的保有量,car ownership,所以答案选B.
56.A 考查上下文联系.上文说英国汽车的保有量在上升,因此,潜在的搭便车人口很小,potential是"潜在的",所以答案选A.
57.C 考查前后文句意理解.根据下文我得出的结论是只有足够疯狂的人才让肥胖的带着红围巾的我搭便车,可见我的旅行证明搭便车是很危险的,所以答案选C..
58.D 考查词义辨析.prediction"预测";principle"规定,规则";intension"紧张";conclusion"结论"根据句意应该是我由我的旅行得出的结论,只有足够疯狂的人才让肥胖的带着红围巾的我搭便车.所以答案选D.
59.B 考查句意理解:最想做好事的人;一些说他们看到一个搭便车的人,他们忍不住停下.stop是"停下",只有停下来才能让人搭车,所以答案选B.
60.A 考查上下文联系.根据后文But for now,但是现在,可见前文说搭便车最有可能在于与互联网共享的汽车组织 说的应该是将来,future"将来",故答案选A.
61.C 考查上下文联系.前文说我没有那样做太多,下文应该是我愿意做的,prefer是"喜欢,宁愿做某事",所以答案选C.
62.B 考查词义辨析.mistake"错误";habit"习惯"; misunderstanding"误会";decision"决定",根据上下文理解,这里应该是说得养成一种习惯,所以答案选B.
63.A 考查句意理解.因为太喜欢,所以才计划到欧洲以外做更大的旅行,所以答案选A.
64.D 考查词义辨析.example"例子";coincidence"巧合";imagination"想象";challenge"挑战",根据句意:去阿富汗是一个挑战,所以答案选D.
