    Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what the first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying.

As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously(好奇地). You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things. Then you began to try making the sounds you heard.

And step by step, you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of language: a certain sound means a certain thing.

When a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other. Then, and only then, these people have a LANGUAGE.

After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words described things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express one’s idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By means of language, people can communicate.

So we say that languages are means of communication.

23．When you were a little baby, you _________.

A．made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat

B．spent most of your time playing with your parents

C．could not hear any sound around you

D．spent most of your time eating sleeping and crying

24．The secret of language is that _________.

A．one sound might be as good as another

B．people can understand each other

C．a certain sound is for a certain thing

D．there is a special sound for each person

25．You could learn words _________.

A．before you knew what the language was

B．after you knew what the language was

C．if you didn’t know the secret of the language

D．when you were a baby

26．The aim in using language is _________.

A．to get everything one wants from others

B．to say what one wants to know

C．to communicate ideas, opinions, news, etc. with one another

D．to make oneself understood by others

    Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in most cities in China. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road in a medium-sized city but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.

The number of the private car owners is becoming larger and larger. A medium-sized city sometimes sends out about 1, 000 private car licenses in a month. Industry experts say this suggests that people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.

By the year 2016, the number of private cars in China reached about 150 million. If one parking lot is for one car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of most cities is short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem.

The idea of a “Park &Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and charge higher parking fees. But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.

27．The underlined phrase“ mapping out” in the first paragraph means ________.

A．making B．arguing C．replying D．comparing

28．About _______ drivers can find places to park their cars in a medium-sized city now.

A．8500 B．10000 C．15000 D．20000

29．According to the idea of a “Park & Ride” system, the city will ________.

A．send out more private car licenses

B．build more parking lots near bus stops

C．encourage people to buy more cars

D．build more parking areas in the city center

30．This passage is mainly about ________.

A．parking problem

B．heavy traffic

C．pollution in medium-sized cities

D．building more parking lots in the city center
