Dear Sir,

I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. 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 can’t 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 (規(guī)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 passenger

1.The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because______.

A. it arrives on time

B. it travels faster

C. it is not always full

D. it has fewer seats on it

2.The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most.

A. 20 B. 40 C. 60 D. 129

3. From the passage we can infer that the writer of the letter is probably ______.

A. a bus driver

B. an airport worker

C. a very tired traveler

D. an English teacher

4.What kind of letter is this passage?

A. It’s a letter of thanks

B. It’s a letter of complaint (投訴)

C. It’s a letter of introduction

D. It’s a letter of apology

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. _1.__ The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.

Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you're at the beginner's level, there are two options: reading a children's book or reading a book that you've read in Chinese translation. __2.__ If you're at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.

3.__ When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who's interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. __4._

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by U．S. writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, U．S. writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. __5._ Happy reading!

A．If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful.

B．The most important thing is to pick a book that you're really interested in.

C．You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.

F．Instead, they're a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.

A teenager has gained a six-figure sum for a vampire (吸血鬼) novel she wrote after being inspired by the Twilight. Abigail Gibbs, 18, who started writing the book aged 14, released chapters of her novel online, where the book eventually received 17 million hits. Harper Collins in Britain has now signed this talented author following her extraordinary Internet success.

Miss Gibbs, from Brixham, Devon, who is about to start studying English at Oxford University, is the first author to be discovered on Wattpad. Wattpad is an online library which allows subscribers (用戶) to upload or read other people’s stories. Miss Gibbs also said Stephenie Meyer’s famous Twilight books had influenced her novel, The Dark Heroine. “I read the Twilight and did really enjoy it. At first, my parents were a bit opposed to my writing because I was staying up till 3 a.m. on school nights and they were worried that I might fall behind.”

Miss Gibbs finished her book at the age of 16. She posted each chapter after she had written it on the Internet site, until she got to five chapters before the end when she stopped. “I had signed with an agent and he basically said, ‘Don’t post anymore so as to keep the readers’ anxiety”. That was tough because I disappeared in the site for a year and there were a lot of fans asking where I was. I have had so many requests from fans to upload the last five chapters; some people even said they were going to write their own endings.” Her fans can buy the e-book for ￡2.99, or wait for the paperback book priced at ￡6.99 in shops next month.

1.Her parents didn’t support Gibbs’ writing because _____.

A. they didn’t like vampire novels

B. writing might influence her studies

C. Gibbs spent too much time online

D. a possible failure might let Gibbs down

2.We can infer from the text that Gibbs _________.

A. got support from Meyer

B. dropped out of school to concentrate on her career

C. spent two years in writing The Dark Heroine

D. wrote several books before The Dark Heroine

3.Why did Gibbs stop posting the last five chapters of the story online?

A. She would rewrite it later.

B. She had to finish her university education first.

C. She wanted readers to write their own ending.

D. She hoped to attract readers’ more interest.

4.If a reader wants to read the whole story, he or she___________.

A. may pay for an e-edition

B. must wait for about a month

C. can buy a paperback in a bookstore now

D. can ask for a copy of the manuscript (原稿)

Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保護) of the African elephant faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.

Years ago, over hunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.

The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation —land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (沖突) between local farmers and these big animals.

Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.

AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.

The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.

1.The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers _____.

A. African elephants are endangered now

B. there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants

C. African elephants are popular animals

D. the number of African elephants has increased over the years

2.What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now?

A. They are still being killed.

B. Their habitats are being destroyed.

C. They don’t have enough food.

D. They can’t live in peace with farmers.

3.To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT _____.

A. keeping elephants

B. protecting elephants’ habitats

C. doing research on elephants

D. helping farmers improve their life

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. African elephants conservation

B. Living with African elephants

C. African elephants’ situation

D. African elephants being endangered
