Passage2

Let me tell you something about the basic courses in American high school. In American high school, most students there take English, science, maths and history. These are called basic courses(基本的课程) and each of them is as useful as the others are.

In English class, the American students study grammar and read famous literature(文学作品).In science class, they study biology, chemistry or physics and so on. History is more interesting to some students because they learn about important and significant(有意义的)events and places in the United States of America in history. Also, students take other courses, too. These are called elective courses .Students can choose homics (家政学),computer science, etc. Students do not have to take all of these courses. Some study music because they feel it more enjoyable and they like it very much. Some study computer science because they think it is more useful.

In each class, in both basic courses and elective courses（选修课程）, mean, teachers give students exams and tests. Some exams and tests are rather difficult, but a good and hard-working student can always do well. Don’t you think so? I hope you agree with me.

How do you get to school every day? By bike, bus or car? In Chongqing, there will be 3,000 new school buses on the street by the end of this year. These school buses look just like the American school buses: yellow with a big nose.

In February 2010, the Chinese government announced the first standards(标准) for school bus safety. Since then, more yellow school buses can be seen on the street.

In China, besides the bus driver, there should be an adult on the school bus to watch the students. If there are more than 40 students, two adults are needed. The students usually rest or read books on the school bus.

In America, yellow school buses are very popular. There are about 480,000 school buses in the country. The older kids sit in the back of the bus. The younger kids sit in the front. They usually listen to music, talk on their phones or just sleep. The only adult on the bus is the driver.

The school bus is important in students’everyday lives. It can keep children safe. Usually a child is much safer going to school by school bus than any other way. It can also help the environment. A school bus saves a lot of gas because it can carry a lot of people.

Passage2

阅读短文，完成下面各题。(每小题2分，共10分)

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the problem is the new ― out of town‖ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping. Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glassgow to London(about 600km) can cost about ￡100, for example. A shout 15—minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
