21、A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490, 000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid（混合动力的）buses. They run on diesel（柴油的）and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner.

The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change", said driver Melvin Day. "I'm smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”

The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel（燃料）.They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.

The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries（电池）on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.

Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses.

22、

Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump(垃圾堆).Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage (排污) system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets(厕所), bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice(老鼠) and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal(金属). The metal can be reused and recycled. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles(堆) where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.

23、Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.

Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today’s people sit indoors for too long and don’t get much exercise. When you garden, you have to move around. It’s a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Besides, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D.

24、   People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a lower price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

Everything in today′s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don′t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.

【1】What activity is less popular these days than before?

A．Reading books.

B．Listening to the radio.

C．Watching TV.

D．Surfing the Internet.

25、   The students at the American International School were excited. They worked hard to raise money for a trip. They washed cars, sold magazines and 【1】 (collect) bottles. Finally, they f【2】 to Cairo to visit the pyramids of Egypt (埃及金字塔)!

The students studied the pyramids in school before the trip. They learned about the Pharaohs, the rulers of ancient Egypt. They also learned that the Egyptians considered the Pharaohs to be living gods, and that the pyramids were built 【3】 tombs (陵墓) of the Pharaohs.

On 【4】 first day of the trip, the students went to the Great Pyramid at Giza. It was built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2,560 BC. It's the 【5】 (tall) pyramid in the world. At first, it was about 146 meters high. Now it is about 136 meters high. The students measured (测量) all four sides of the Great Pyramid at Giza.

No one knows 【6】 the ancient Egyptians built these huge things. Scientists believe Egyptians didn't invent the wheel at that time. They 【7】 /ɡes/ people moved the stones very slowly. Thousands of Egyptians worked for many years on each pyramid.
