Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I cant get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better?Yours,Tired passenger1.

The problem is that the people in Jeans family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.So Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ. She likes being anonymous (不知姓名的), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she contacts quite often.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jeans father told her that he was going on business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him, so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when Jean knocked on Davids door in San Francisco, she found that the special friend she had written to was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim.5.Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ because she is _.Arich Bfamous CyoungDlonely6.

Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called cones. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of rods, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark.They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around us.9.The passage is mainly about .A. color and its surprising effectsB. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness10. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind women.C. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.11.According to the passage, with the help of the cones, we can .A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow12.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a .A. red light B. yellow lightC. blue light D. green lightDDid you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe youve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals-opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids dont have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate to became a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp-personal growth. It doesnt mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didnt know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: is it a special opportunity? Is it challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!13. Which is the writers opinion?A. All the summer camps are the sameB. Summer camps help you understand your researchC. All great summer camps have the same main goalsD. There are too many summer camps nowadays14. What is the most important things for a child to learn from camps?A. He knows how to take opportunitiesB. He gets to learn new life-saving skillsC. He will grow taller and strongerD. He can improve and become more confident15. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Its hard to make real friends at summer campsB. With the right goals, you can have fun while learning at campC. You cant have fun if you do not have other goalsD. Summer camps are all about how to have fun第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。Why do people travel?
