【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。 The other day, I told Connie that I'd rather take the bus to work than ride in my comfortable limousine, because of the high cost of gasoline. But today, I discovered how wrong I was.
When I got into my limousine this morning, my driver told me that the motor didn't sound like it was running well.
“Look,” I said, “I have an important meeting at 9:00. I have to be on time!”
We drove about three blocks—then the motor died.
“Sorry, Mr. Foster. I thought this might happen. But look! There's the downtown bus. Maybe you should take it. So you don't miss your meeting.”
“Well, I…I…Oh! I suppose I have to.”
I got on the bus and gave the driver my money.
“Mister, are you serious? We can't make change for a $100 bill!”
“I AM CHARLES K. FOSTER. AND I ORDER THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE CHANGE!”
“Mister,” said the driver, “I don't care who you are. You will have to get off the bus.”
Well. I was so mad when I got off that bus that I didn't watch where I was going, and I was almost hit by a car! So now, all I have to say is this: My business may be killing me, but riding the bus certainly will.

【題目】閱讀理解
D
Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (農(nóng)村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.
In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China's Nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students' meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.
It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What's more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.
Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重點(diǎn)的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.
With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.
(1)The number of 134,000 in Paragraph 2 is the number of _______ in poor rural areas.
A.the key schools
B.the poor students
C.the key colleges and universities
D.the primary and junior high schools
(2)The underlined word “benefited” in Paragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.
A.逃離
B.獲益
C.受害
D.賺錢
(3)If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?
(=Para.(自然段) 1 =Para. 2 =Para. 3 =Para. 4 =Para. 5)
A.①②;③④;⑤
B.①;②③;④⑤
C.①;②③④;⑤
D.①②;③;④⑤
(4)After reading the passage, we can infer(推斷) that ________.
A.Liu Xi, a student from Chongqing, can go to any high school if she wants to
B.Li Mei, a student from a western rural school, can get a bag of milk every day
C.Hu Jia, a 12-year-old rural student, will more easily receive high school education
D.Han Lei, a student from Beijing, will have few chances to go to key universities

【題目】 Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules for you.

First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you’d better eat something different.

Third, listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. Eating too much will not make you feel well and make you fat.

Fourth, limit(限制) screen time. It is good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding and swimming. You can’t watch TV for more than two hours a day.

Fifth, be active. One thing you’d like to do as a kid is to find which activity you like best. Find ways to be active every day.

Follow these rules and you can be a healthy kid.
