What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it wassimply an unforgettable experience.

As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution. But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴油机) by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them. We encourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, said an official. Efforts are being made to improve the capitals environment with tighter controls on emissions (排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index (指数) gave just 100 days as good. I am glad to see an improvement, said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though.I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a trafficaccident because I couldnt see a car only metres away from me in frog. In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off. Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes (烟) and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the citys bad air.9. The passage is mainly about _?A. a programme to improve Beijings air quality B. progress made in Beijings air quality C. Beijings air pollution D. the difference between Hainan and Beijing10. Which of the following is not the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijings air?A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transportation. B. Some factories have been asked to cut production. C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed. D. A display show of airplanes has been called off.11. We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological (生态的) city by the 2008 Olympics, _.A. far more still needs to be done B. nothing else needs to be done C. all traffic has to be closed D. the development of the city has to be slowed down12. Which is not correct according to the passage?A. Beijings air quality is getting worse and worse. B. Development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality. C. Clouds of smoke in the sky is the common feature in the winter of Beijing. D. The government is making every effort to stop air pollution. DWhen my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” Hed smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words. When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.” As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and lookedat the ants curiously. For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look. Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt I should encourage his enthusiasm for observation when he was a boy . That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a childs enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.13. The author wrote the passage to _. A. recall the happy times he spent with his son B. tell us that children are full of curiosity C. tell us how to let children love nature D. advise us to develop childrens interest or talent14. The author showed David the ants to _. A. prevent him from becoming bored B. develop his enthusiasm for observation C. teach him some new words D. arouse his interest in creatures15. Which of the following can best describe the authors viewpoint? A. Make children have their own hobbies. B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible. C. Satisfy childrens interest by possible means D. Hobbies can determine ones future第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（每小题2分，满分10分） 请在答题卡相应位置作答 E=AB F=AC G=ADTo Drive out Your Back Pain Is your back bothering you, and are you wondering how to get rid of your back pain?
