Cars, buses and bikes all move on the left side of the road. But the traffic keeps on the right in China. So when you are in England, you must be very careful in the street. Before you cross a street you must stop and look both ways. Look right and look left and look right again. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then the people on foot can cross the road. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustnt cross.In the morning and in the evening, when people go to or come back from work, the streets are very busy. Traffic is very dangerous (危险的).When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember（记住）the traffic moves on the left. If you dont have a look first, you will go the wrong way.In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported（据报道） that we will have no coal （煤）or oil to use in 100 years. Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to stop waste . For example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom and try not to order more food than we need. Little by little, everything will be changed. We can stop waste one day if we do our best to form（养成）the habit of saving.（1）From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school.A . eat too muchB . dont work hardC . waste thingsD . throw rubbish everywhere（2）Which is NOT mentioned（提及） in this passage?A .

We may have no coal or oil to use.（4）Which of the following is TRUE?A . Waste brings problems.B . Waste wont bring problemsC . China is rich in fresh waterD . Students never waste things.3. （8分）阅读理解 Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used 1o keep daytime business hours are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (无关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more flexible, is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the law of time even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer(学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with extra pay for overtime working, but less familiar with the fact that what makes up overtime is a matter of legal definition (法律规定). When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: Here is the law in action? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.（1）By saying Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be, the writer mans that _. A . work time is equal to rest timeB . many people have a day off on MondayC . it is hard for people to decide when to restD . the line between work time and rest time is unclear（2）The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _. A . fail to make full use of their timeB . enjoy working overtime for extra payC . are unaware of the law of timeD . welcome flexible working hours（3）According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _. A . need to acquire knowledgeB . have to obey their parentsC . need to find companionsD . have to observe the law（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . Our life is governed by the law of time.B . How to organize time is not worth debating.C . New ways of using time change our society.D . Our time schedule is decided by social customs.4. （8分）阅读理解Do you know Yao Beina?Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel.
