In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout. Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from car engines. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
“Listen,” says Miguel Lores, the mayor (市长), opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.”
Lores became the mayor in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who had a chance to leave have done so.”
At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions. However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of (清除) cars.
The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now rare (罕见的). CO2 emissions (排放物) are down by 70%. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.
Most local people like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added.
( ) 16. From Paragraph 1, we know Pontevedra is a _______ city in Spain.
A. noisy B. quiet
C. busy D. crowded
( ) 17. For Lores, what was the city Pontevedra’s main problem
A. The historical city was dead.
B. There were lots of traffic accidents.
C. Many people were leaving the city.
D. There were too many cars in the city.
( ) 18. What does the underlined word “benefits” probably mean
A. Choices. B. Advantages.
C. Problems. D. Actions.
( ) 19. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To show how people like the change.
B. To let more cities follow the change.
C. To explain how the change took place.
D. To tell why people live in Pontevedra.

五、One possible version:
Dear Sam,
I’m writing this letter to you to introduce a place that I have visited.
Last summer I went to Singapore. Wow, it’s a beautiful place to take a holiday. In this country, there is a long summer without winter. The weather there is warm and wet all year round. Singapore has a population of about six million. They have a close relationship with Chinese. About three fourths of them are Chinese. They can speak both Chinese and English. So I have never had problems speaking to people there. When staying there, I visited Marina Bay Sands, Merlion Park and Night Safari. Night Safari is a special zoo. There, animals sleep in the day and get up at night. Singapore has great food from all over the world. So it was easy for me to find Chinese food. Besides Chinese food, I also found English food, French food, Indian food and so on.
All in all, I had fun in Singapore. If you’re free, you can go there on holiday. I’m sure you’ll love that country.
Yours,
Lingling
