23、"Beep, beep," goes- the car horn (喇叭). You’ve got dressed，but you’ve not had time to eat breakfast. You run out of the front door swinging(摇摆) your school backpack，and jump into the waiting car. Inside, your friends say " hey" as one  of their parents drives you to school. 【1】  

Car pools (拼车) are a common way of transportation for many students in the US. You，along with many of your friends can fit in the car, and share the journey to school each day. 【2】

What do friends do in the car？【3】   If you' re behind on your homework，this is your last chance to finish it before class. Some students simply add to their sleep time before classes begin.

Besides walking or cycling to class，car pools are energy efficient(节能的) if you can' t take the school bus. Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day，they can all squeeze (挤) into one. 【4】.

More importantly，car pooling teaches students valuable life lessons not taught in class. It can teach students about the social responsibility of being on time.

【5】   If you ' re late ,then  all of your friends will be late too.

24、When you go to watch a sport, you don’t just go to see the athletes. Many people also eat popcorn and hot dogs. People sing songs and hold signs. They watch cheerleaders and make jokes. You can do all kinds of things when you watch sports.

Mascots (吉祥物) are another big part of sports. A mascot is a team’s symbol. For example, if a team is called the Dragons, then their mascot is a dragon. If a team is called the Cowboys, then their mascot is a cowboy.

At many sports games, there is a live mascot. This is a person who wears a mascot costume. For example, a mascot for the Dragons would wear a dragon costume. Usually, these costumes look very silly, and they don’t look real at all.

A mascot’s job is to make the sport more fun, and to make the fans more excited. Different mascots do different things. Some of them dance and sing songs. Some of them wave flags. Some of them do very unusual things, like having races around the field.

Some people like mascots, and some people don’t like them. The people who like mascots say that they make the game more fun. They also say that fans are too serious sometimes, and mascots are important because they help fans relax. People who don’t like mascots say that they make it hard to focus on the game. They say that when a mascot is dancing and singing, it’s hard to watch the game.

Mascots are getting more and more popular. New mascots are coming out all the time. Some of the new mascots become popular, and some retire very quickly. It doesn’t matter if you love mascots or if you hate them. These days, they are a big part of modern sports.

【1】The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.

A．sports are really fun for us

B．cheerleaders are the best part of sports

C．you must hold a sign when you watch a sport

D．you can enjoy many things while watching a sport

25、   The Baird family’s house has a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and three bedrooms. It’s big enough for the family of five: parents William and Laura, 9-year-old twins (双胞胎) Jasmine and Jessica, and 5-year-old Evan. There’s even room for their three cats and a dog. That doesn’t sound unusual, does it?

But the home is typical. At just 40 feet long, the whole house is about the length of a school bus! And it’s only 12 feet wide. It’s about four times smaller than their last house. The Bairds moved into their small house in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in the summer of 2014. And they aren’t the only ones living small. In recent years, small houses have become more popular across the US.

The Bairds’ house is actually much bigger than many other small homes. Most are less than half its size. Like many families who have made the change, the Bairds say they want to help the planet.

“We think a lot more about what we’re doing and how we’re influencing (影响) the environment,” says William.

How can small houses have a big influence on the environment? For one thing, building them requires (需要) less wood than bigger homes do.

“You don’t have to cut down as many trees to build it,” Jessica says.

Small homes also use less of other natural resources (资源), like oil. Because the Bairds’ house is so small, it doesn’t take much fuel (燃料) to heat it in winter.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【1】How many pets do the Bairds keep?

A．2.

B．3.

C．4.

【2】The Bairds’ last house was ________.

A．as small as this one

B．much bigger than this one

C．in the city centre

【3】Why do the Bairds choose to live in a small house?

A．To save money.

B．To get close to nature.

C．To protect the environment.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE about the Bairds’ present house?

A．They don’t heat it in winter.

B．It is crowded for the family of five.

C．They began to live in it about seven years ago.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Living small

B．Different houses in America

C．How to protect the environment

27、Good morning, everyone. Today I’m going to share with you about my favorite festival—Chinese New Year.

Of all the festivals in Malaysia, I like Chinese New Year most. Chinese New Year falls on the first day of the first lunar (农历的) month. The celebrations last 15 days, with fireworks, dragon and lion dances, family and friends gathering, lantern festivals, and of course lots of great food! You can see happy faces and big celebrations everywhere.

Before the start of the festival, Chinese people clean their houses to sweep away any bad luck. Then, on New Year’s Eve, all brushes are put away so that good luck cannot be swept away. People put up Spring festival couplets and hang red lanterns.

Another important tradition of Chinese New Year is the red packet—a small red envelope (信封) with some money inside. After collecting all my red packets, I can buy something I like. I usually use the money to buy some books and snacks.

Chinese New Year is a busy time for everyone in my family. We are busy having fun with family members and friends. “Kung Hei Fat Choi” and words of happiness and luck are everywhere. For me, red packets and special cakes are what I should not miss during this festival.

After the big dinner on New Year’s Eve, my parents will take me to walk along the road and celebrate the New Year with fireworks and the traditional lion and dragon dance performances.

In short, I like Chinese New Year better than any other festival. It gives me more pleasure than I can imagine.
