2.There is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US.
In 1978,50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licence.In 2008,according to the US Transportation Department,it was just 30%.The number of those aged 19and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978,when 11,989,000had licence.In 2010,it was 9,932,441,or 4.1% of American drivers.
In the UK,683,273teenagers have driving licences-just1.85% of total licence holders,according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010.
But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states,which force drivers aged under 16to be accompanied by licensed drivers of 21years and older when driving,than the growth of social networking.
In recent years,the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever.Car use began falling in 2007,when average petrol prices almost doubled to $4.12a gallon,and the economy became worse.
But there are signs that American remains a country on wheels.It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world.
"Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America.You have to take into consideration some places don't have access to public transportation.Cars are the only way some people can get around,"says Kristin Nevels.This makes driving necessary in some rural states,where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities.

29.What would be the best title for the text?D
A.Driving in the US.
B.Transportation in the US.
C.US Teenagers Drive Less.
D.People Like Cars in the US.
30.which of the following is not the reason why cars are used less than before?C
A.traffic jams              
B.harder tests
C.expensive petrol          
D.worst economy
31.We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin NevelsC.
A.doubts the popularity of the car use in the future.
B.thinks American people can live without cars.
C.holds confident attitude to the cars'use in America.
D.believes America should build up its public transportation.
32.What can be inferred from the text?B
A.The UK has more teenager drivers than the US.
B.A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US.
C.The US has very developed bus transportation system.
D.Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US.

20.When you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (銖) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(計(jì)程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in-signs were generally in Thai only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.
21.To a foreigner,the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting aD.
A.motorbike 
B.car 
C.taxi 
D.bike
22.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?B
A.To make sure there is a meter in it.
B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.
C.To take a taxi going on the road.
D.To bargain with the driver over the price.
23.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past becauseB.
A.there were too many traffic jams on the roads
B.the signs were written only in their own language
C.there were no signs at the farthest corners
D.the quality of the roads was not good.
