Now, the countrys first electric-powered motorbikes are coming onto the market.Thebike is designed to cut down on pollution and aimed at low-income communities.Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gasoline, but not this new motorbike.Three university students developed the new ecotran bike.It catches the suns energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge the electric motor. Robert Achoge is one ofthe student inventors.“Our hope is that by the fifth year, we will be able to cover the whole of Kenya with the electric motorcycle so as to protect the environment and provide affordable transport.”The students have set up a charging station forthemotorbikes in Nairobi.Thesmall battery can run for 70 kilometers whenfully charged.Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the station while another charged battery is connected to the bike.The U.S. African Development Foundation(ADF) is helping set up two solar-powered charging stations intheport of Kisumu.Each ecotran bike costs about $700. One taxi operator says the new motorbike costs less to operate than that running on traditional gasoline.“When it comes to buying gasoline, theres no need.Its basically good for various things.As long as you wont take quite a heavy load, you can go with it anywhere.Otherwise, it may break down halfway.But now people still have a preference tothegas-powered bikes”ANairobi businessman Kennedy Kusimba is selling the ecotran bikes.He hopes they will become popular.“We also know they are more reliable compared to the gas-powered bikes.Theyare more efficient and they will last longer.21.

It has eight pages. In 2002, when it began operations, the newspaper was published four times a year. It has changed the lives of many of the children who publish it, and hopes to improve the lives of thousands of others.Non-governmental organizations and charity groups support the newspaper.Sanjay Gupta leads a group that helps the children and gives money to the newspaper.“They feel very encouraged when people appreciate them. When they talk to the officials and before the media, they gradually build up their self-confidence.IthinkBalaknamais a powerful tool for them.The newspaper costs about three cents.That is lower than the price of a small cup of tea in India.

It is so difficult to earn, easy to waste and no matter how much you have, it is just never enough. For you, as a teenager, trust may seem to be a complicated word. 36 This can cause a lot of tension between you, and also can make you feel disappointed and angry.It is impossible for you to be the perfect teenager and child. 37 But when it comes to trust, you need to understand something. The degree to which your parents give you their trust needs to match the degree to which you prove yourself trustworthy. 38 If you want their trust, you have to behave honestly and responsibly.When you behave irresponsibly, your parents will certainly be disappointed in you. 39 The saying “Actions speak louder than words” is true. It is not what you say to your parents that makes them believe in you, but what you do. 40 Work towards regaining your parents trust. For this, you should listen to your parents, study hard and get good results at school. Say sorry when you have made a mistake, be financially responsible and dont abuse what is given to you or ask for more than you need. In a word, if you try to perform well, your parents will surely trust you again.A. It is important to choose your path wisely.B. Your parents arent always willing to trust you.C. And if your parents give you chores, finish them.D. So what should you do when your parents dont trust you?E. You are going to make mistakes, whether you want to or not.F. You will lose their trust because of the way you have behaved.G. So you need to ask yourself if your pattern of behavior is worthy of their trust.第三部分：语言知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，计30分）阅读短文，从四个选项（A、B、C、D）从中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Early one morning last February, I felt the bang of Tinks paws as she landed on my legs.

It uses lasers（激光）to “print” information - such as 63 it is grown or its code number - on vegetables and fruits.The supermarket calls the new tech “natural branding”. The lasers “ print” by removing the colour from the skins of fruits and vegetables. It no longer uses paper 64 plastic along with ink and adhesives(粘合剂), which makes the food 65 (safe) to eat. It is also great for the environment because less food packaging leads to less waste and less 66 （pollute）. Eosta, an international food company, said that in 2015 67 it sold over 725,000 bags of avocados(牛油果) to ICA，and 68 (pack) them needed about 220 kilometers of plastic. “We have too much 69 (necessary) plastic material or packaging material on our products,” Peter Hagg, ICAs senior manager, told the Daily Mail.But unfortunately, laser labeling cant 70 (use) on all fruits.
