2016年成考高起点《英语》预测试题及答案
根据下面内容，回答题：
It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn't wake her mother, so she dialed "zero". An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency ,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero"for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.~ Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act auto-matically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.

can hear a word invented in Japan," DINKS" ,which means Double Income No Kids.
In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremelyhigh. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300,000 ( thoughprices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, thecouple will pay about $ 900 a month. What'~ more, if they want to have a child, the child's educationis very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5,000 a year. In such asituation, it's difficult to afford children.
The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they en-joy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems.Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both par-ents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.
In a word,Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.

As everybody knows that the traffic problems in ourcity become more and more serious. During the rush-hours every morning and afternoon, the roads are verycrowded. There are traffic jams almost on every mainroad. The accident rate becomes higher than before. Ithink that it is high time for the city government to takesome measures to solve this problem.
First of all, we should repair the roads, for some ofthe roads are in bad condition and it is difficult for thedrivers to go through. Secondly, we should build more overpasses so as to cut down traffic jams. Thirdly,the pro-duction of cars should be controlled, for there are toomany cars moving on the roads every day. As long as wedo something like this, the traffic problem will be solvedor at least the accident rate will be lowered. I do hope ourgovernment will accept my suggestions.
