Last summer holiday, Aunt Emily took us to a safari park (野生动物园), not far from Liverpool.
I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before. It’s a very interesting park, full of wild animals running freely.
When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park. We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions. But to get to the lions’ place we had to go through the monkeys’ land first. And that was an unforgettable experience because they climbed all over the car, ate apples and bananas, and threw all kinds of things at us. They seemed very unfriendly.
Anyway, we went on our way to the lions’ place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous. A lion came up very close to us. Then it was on the bonnet (车盖). It looked calm but we felt terrified. Aunt Emily, who isn’t very brave, started to call for help. The kids started crying. Only my brother, George, stayed cool. I sounded the horn (喇叭) but nobody heard us.
In the end a guard arrived in his car, and the lion just got off our car and started smelling the guard’s hand as if nothing was
the matter.
8．Which animal did the author want to see the most
A．The lions. B．The elephants. C．The monkeys. D．All of them. 9．Why did they lock themselves in the car
A．Because the monkeys might steal things. B．Because they were afraid of being robbed. C．Because the lions might be dangerous. D．Because something was wrong with the car. 10．What does the underlined word “terrified” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Excited. B．Bored. C．Interested D．Scared 11．Who stayed calm among the visitors when they met the lion
A．Aunt Emily. B．George. C．The guard. D．The author.

Last weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的). Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw, leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knacker’s(收废汽车者的)yard.
I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for environmental reasons, and I didn’t miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I can’t. It was first and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive.
But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing — I now have a chance to rethink how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport.
Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how I already cycle to work and use public transport when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way.
I won’t buy one: I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another.
I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere.
Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions.
He points to research by the OECD’s International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a private vehicle
fleet(车队)to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.”
So in other words, just get rid of your car. 12．What do we know about the author’s car
A．It was old. B．It was green.
C．It was his first car. D．It was a second-hand car.
13．What do the author’s giving up meat and saying goodbye to his car have in common A．He did both for the wrong reasons. B．He thinks both help him save money.
C．He considers both are right decisions. D．He did both out of concern for the environment. 14．What does the author fear
A．He may have to spend more on travel. B．His lifestyle might be changed completely.
C．He might get bored with public transportation. D．His decision may fail to help the environment. 15．What does Charlie Wilson say
A．It is wise to do away with old private cars. B．It is very easy to deal with old private cars.
C．Electric cars are the solution to traffic problems. D．The OECD plays a key role in promoting car-sharing.

Pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world today. In many places, rubbish is thrown into lakes and rivers.
16
In some cities, the air is filled with pollution. 17 If it is not cleaned up, more people will be hurt. 18 Land and water pollution kills many animals every year.
If we do not act to improve the environment, more living things will be killed by pollution.
19 We should separate rubbish into different groups. In this way, it can be recycled and reused. We had better plant more trees. 20 What’s more, we shouldn’t put the waste into lakes or rivers.
If we can do these, we will make the world a better place to live in.
A．This makes some old people and children ill.
B．As well as people, animals are also harmed by pollution. C．We can make our lakes and rivers cleaner and cleaner.
D．It’s time for all of us to take action right away! E．Because of this, these places have already been polluted. F．Trees reduce dust and help keep the air clean.
G．A few of us should take action to protect the environment.
