阅读下列短文 从每题所给的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑 A Hello I m Jan from Mrs Lake s class My class wants to work together to help the public We think we have found a great way to do this Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town We learned about the Adopt a Highway Program This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet When a highway is adopted only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it The sign is put up at the side of the road This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean The Adopt a Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer Also the government does not have to send out as many road workers This saves money Finally people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people especially teenagers like us cleaning them up We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean please come with your parents to the meeting next week We will meet in Mrs Lake s room on Wednesday at 6 00 P M At the meeting we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people s unkind acts Then we Il try to pick an area to adopt and clean up I look forward to seeing you at the meeting Remember to keep our roads clean 3 21 What is the Adopt a Highway Program about A Giving names to the highways B Drawing pictures of highways C Picking up litter along the roads D Putting up signs near the roads 22 What

the past time but Drew Faust has made history On February 11 2007 Faust was named president of Harvard University She is the first woman to hold the position in the school s 371 year history I am a historian she said I ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past and about how it shapes the future No university in the country perhaps the world has as remarkable a past as Harvard s And our common enterprise is to make Harvard s future even more remarkable than its past That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well It will also mean recognizing what we don t do as well as we should and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men This is a man s world my girl and the sooner you learn that the better off you ll be Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young but she didn t buy it Faust grew up in a well off family in Virginia s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s Even then she was a trailblazer 先驱 A conversation with her family s black handyman 零工 and driver inspired her to write a letter on school notebook paper to President Dwight Eisenhower She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south a much divided part of the country at the time Drew Faust is a historian with her eyes on the future said Susan Graham a professor of Harvard Many of the university s schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust 25 Why does the

the most versatile vehicle 交通工具 and it is also very comfortable If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer then the best choice is to book it early especially if you are considering the school holidays The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months There are a lot of companies throughout the UK

phone 0800612 8719 for details of its motorhome hire information Motorholme has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England Scotland and Wales Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative 替代品 to a European package holiday especially as flying now has become more expensive and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly There is no doubt that the idea of no fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays 29 This

code number In a cipher each letter is changed Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods The codes show how much is paid for the goods or when they are added to the stock 商品 Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby In the 16th century codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists They wrote messages to each other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets Geronimo Gardano an Italian astrologer 星相家 mathematician and doctor invented the trellis cipher He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one Then he sent one sheet which he called a trellis to a friend and kept the other for himself Whenever he wanted to write a message he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that
