It can carry 1,200 to 1,400 people. It is Chinas new Super Bus. It is going for a test run in Beijing at the end of this year. Some other cities are also interested in running the Super Bus. They hope the traffic problems will be solved.The Super Bus runs along fixed tracks . The bus sits on top of two 2.2-meter-tall legs. The legs have wheels at one end. Small cars can drive under the bus, so the Super Bus does not take up road space. The bus runs on electricity and solar power. It can travel up to 60 km every hour. Its creator, Song Youzhou, says a lot of traffic jams (堵塞) will be reducedThe Super Bus can do the work of 40 buses. In that way, it can save 860 tons of fuel (燃料) every year, according to Song. “To build a Super Bus and its track costs less than building subways. Subways are nearly ten times more expensive to build.” Song said. Some people worry that the Super Bus may not be safe. However, Song says theres no need for concern. The Super Bus has laser scanners (激光扫描仪) between its legs. The scanners make sure the cars keep a safe distance.36 . TheSuperBuscancarry_people.A1,300B1,500C1,700D1,90037 .

But one small boy just ran here and there after the butterflies and sang happily.In the evening, an angel (天使) came and said to the children, “Come now to the gate, and bring your sheaves (小麦捆) with you.”So the children came, bringing their sheaves, but the boy that had run after the butterflies, came empty-handed.“No one can enter here without sheaves,” the angel told him.Hearing that, the small boy lowered his head.Then all the other children cried out together. One said, “Dear Angel, let him in! In the morning I was sick and this boy came and played with me, and showed me the butterflies. Also, he gave me one of sheaves, and I would give it to him again.”Another said, “Dear Angel, let him in! At noon I fainted (昏倒) and fell down. This boy brought me water, and then he showed me the butterflies until I felt better. To me he also gave one of his sheaves, and I would give it to him again.”And a third said, “Just now, as evening was coming, I was tired and I couldnt go on working. But this boy comforted me, showed me the butterflies, and gave me one of his sheaves.”And the other children said with one voice, “We also had sheaves of him, dear angel. Let him in!”The angel smiled, and reached his hand inside the gate and brought out a pile of sheaves. “Here are his sheaves!” said the angel. “They are known and counted, every one.” And he said to the small boy, “Lead the way in!”41 .

How did the small boy probably feel at the end of the story?AProud.BUpset.CStrange.DStressedThere are two ways of driving in the world: if the drivers seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the worlds population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each others right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animals left. Obviously, its safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense (行得通) for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late1700s. When Napoleon (拿破仑) conquered (攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies (前英国殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception (例外,除外) is Egypt, as that country was defeated by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to- -right-hand- driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand- driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.45 . Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?ABCD46 . When did Iceland moved to driving on the right?A1967.B1974.CIn 1968Dthe late1700s.47 . In modern times, countries follow the same driving way except _.AAustraliaBEgyptCSwedenDChina48 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASweden changed to drive on the right in 1974.BPeople drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.CPeople have known the exact reasons for driving on the left.DNapoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving.49 . What is the writers purpose for writing this passage?ATo explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.BTo introduce the development of the two ways of driving.CTo complain about the change of the two ways of driving.DTo compare the differences of the two ways of driving.五、完成句子根据中文意思完成句子（缩写词算一个词）。50 . 我喜欢篮球，你呢?我喜欢乒乓球，我也喜欢跑步 I like basketball.

But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. Its unhappiness. Dont let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood(心情)always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, its normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. We cant change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, its good to know some of the factors(因素)that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who dont have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even
