16.Teenagers will be told to"stand up for their elders"on public transport-or risk losing their right to free travel.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will declare plans today to make youngsters sign a"courtesy pledge"(文明宣言) to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital.The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly,pregnant and disabled; keep from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff.
Those who refuse,or are caught behaving in a loutish manner,will have their free travel passes removed.The plan-a key part of Mr Johnson's re-election bid-will initially affect the 400,000 ll-to-15-year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards,but Tory sources believe the idea could be used across the country.
A Conservative insider said:"The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society.It is about changing culture and expectations around behaviour to improve the atmosphere on buses and trains for everyone."
Speaking before today's launch,Mr Johnson said he was determined to deal with the anti-social behaviour of a"minority of youngsters"on public transport."When I was a boy,I was taught to stand up for those less able to,"he said."Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel,which is paid for by Londoners,but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility.Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away,and will have to earn that right bach."
Teenagers found guilty of a serious violation of the new behaviour rules will lose their travel passes,and will have to carry out unpaid community work to earn them back.
Mr Johnson is also introducing a"two strikes and you're out"policy to deal with repeat offenders,under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their travel rights permanently.

分析 本文是一篇說明文.文章主要講述的是倫敦宣布年輕人簽署文明宣言,在公共場合行為要有禮貌,他們會享有免費旅行的權利,但如果不按文明宣言要求做的人將會被取消免費的旅游權利.年輕人都應該知道責任和好處并存.最嚴重的懲罰是他們可能會永久失去他們的旅行權利.
解答 BAADC
61.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"make youngsters sign a"courtesy pledge"(文明宣言) to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital.The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly,pregnant and disabled; keep from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff"可知,B項并未提及,故選B.
62.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段中的"Those who refuse will have their free travel passes removed"可知,不按文明宣言要求做的學生將會被取消免費的旅游權利,不按文明宣言要求即不禮貌或粗魯,故選A.
63.A 推理判斷題,根據(jù)第五段"Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel,which is paid for by Londoners,but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility"可知,年輕人應該知道責任和好處并存.故選A.
64.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段"under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their travel rights permanently"可知,最嚴重的懲罰是他們可能會永久失去他們的旅行權利.故選D.
65.C 主旨大意題.根據(jù)文第一段"Teenagers will be told to"stand up for their elders"on public transport-or risk losing their right to free travel."可知,年輕人在公共場合要有禮貌,主動給老人讓座,否則會受到懲罰,失去旅行權利.
點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時,一個常用的方法就是運用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關鍵詞從原文中找到相關的句子,與選項進行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思,又要求學生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點.
