A total of 12, 518 taxis, or 62.5 percent of all the taxis in the city are electric ones. “We will replace (替换) the rest of the taxis with electric ones by 2020.” said Mr. Chen from the government.“I have been a driver for twenty years,” said Mr. Zhang, a driver who started to drive e-buses a month ago. “We had several rounds of training and passed strict exams before we were allowed to drive the e-buses.”The city has built 8,000 charging poles (充电柱) and 501 bus charging stations. “A bus can be fully charged within two hours and the charging poles can serve 300 buses a day at our station. Since the replacement, the bus terminal(公交车总站) has become quiet, even as the e-buses are entering and exiting the station.” said Mr. Guan, the manager of Qinghu Bus Station.The use of e-buses and e-taxis plays an important role in improving air quality. In a year, the e-buses use 72.9 percent less energy than the traditional ones. The e-taxis will save the energy of 119, 000 tons of standard coal(标准煤).Shenzhen was one of the first 13 cities to take part in the National New-energy Vehicle Program (NNVP).

Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.Q: Why is the sky blue?A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. Thats why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.Q: Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. Thats because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive （蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.（1）The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_.A . has the longest wavelength among all the colorsB . cannot be taken in by the gas moleculesC . doesnt hit “raised area” in the atmosphereD . cannot pass through space successfully（2）How long cant the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?A . 2B . 28C . 30D . 31（3）What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50F?A . They choose to be active in the wildB . They choose to keep themselves warmC . They choose to travel to a warm placeD . They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive（4）What is NOT explained in the passage?A . Why is the sky blue?B . Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?C . Why do birds travel in winter?D . Where do honeybees go in winter?6. （8分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Have you ever dreamed of spending a night in a Ferris wheel? (摩天轮)Your dream may come true soon.
