In the 1900s in America, kids traveled to school in different ways. Many walked. Others rode on farm trucks or on bikes. Some rode on school buses called "kid hacks". Kid hacks were wooden horse-drawn carriages. It had two long bench seats with little space in the middle for people to pass. The carriages were open on the sides, so kids might get wet on rainy days!
By the mid-1920s, more cars were on the roads, and some transport companies started to make buses out of steel. But buses still looked different from place to place.
That changed in 1939, when transportation officials from around the country met to come up with a set of standards for school buses. They wanted to make buses safer. Besides, if all school buses looked alike, it would be easier for factories to build them quickly and more conveniently.
The school bus's color was one of the 44 standards people discussed at that seven-day meeting. After trying 50 Aunds of color on the wall, they settled on the orange-yellow. And that's still what you see on buses today. National School Bus Glossy Yellow, as the color is officially called, has advantages. The color was chosen because studies had shown yellow was the most eye-catching to human beings and because it could be seen clearly in the morning and evening light when school buses usually operated.
And now the yellow bus is about to go green. The American School Bus Council says that over 25 million school children ride on more than 480,000 school buses each day, making school buses the largest transport system in America. Fewer than 1,200 of those buses were electric in 2020, but that number could rise to 10,000 by 2026.
So the next time you step onto a school bus, you can feel good knowing that your ride is much safer and drier than it would have been 100 years ago!
48. What was the kid hack like
A. B. C. D.
49. The underlined words settled on in Paragraph 4 mean ______.
A. chose B. replaced C. mentioned D. collected
50. What's the main idea of the passage
A The situation of American school buses nowadays.
B. The introduction of ancient American school buses.
C. The difference between kid hacks and school buses.
D. The development of school buses in the United States.
C
Once when I was six years old, I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the forest. It was a picture of a snake in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said: "Snakes swallow the whole animal without chewing（嚼） it. After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion（消化）."
I thought deeply then over the adventures of the forest. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing, my Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten Why should anyone be frightened by a hat "
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a snake digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the snake so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They a:ways need to have things explained. That's my Drawing Number Two.
The grown-ups' answer this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of snakes whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, maths and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been discouraged by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand simple things by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another profession（职业） and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flowed a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very good for me. I can tell China from Arizona easily. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
In my life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met on; e of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about snakes or forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have mot such a wise man. For him I am a normal man.
51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer wants to draw a hat in Drawing Number One.
B. The writer sees an elephant eaten by a snake in the forest.
C. Drawing Number Two shows the inside of the big snake.
D. The two drawings of the writer make people very scared.
52. In Paragraph 6, why does the writer always keep his Drawing Number One
A. To know who truly understands life. B. To show off his good drawing.
C. To make other people pleased. D. To bring himself down to a low level.
53. The passage is most probably taken from ______.
A. a travel guide B. a science report
C. a news story D. a story book
D
Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease "spillover" from animals to humans.
"As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly," said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent（频繁的）. "Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change," Fair said.
Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Las Alamoe, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.
"We're going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future," Fair said. "And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that's just increasing as we go forward."
Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects（影响） millions of people across the world every year. As . their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.
54. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according, to Fair
A. By breaking animals' habits. B. By increasing animals' numbers.
C. By improving animals' breeding（繁殖）. D. By changing animals` living environment.
55. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3
A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.
B Proving the harm of bats to human beings.
C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease
D. Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease.
56 What can we infer（推断） from Fair's words in paragraph 4
A. Humans should give up studying animals.
B. Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.
C. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.
D. Past data can solve the problems in the future.
57. What could be the best title for the text
A. Climate Change and Disease Spillover B. Animals' Interaction with Humans
C. Scientists' Prediction for Disease Outbreaks D. Early Studies about Extreme Weather

To live better in the fast-developing new world, we need to develop many kinds of skills. Some, like ICT skills and knowledge of the digital world are well taught in schools. But some other basic skills are not paid much attention to. These skills are also important because employers may ask you questions about them in interviews. So it's a good idea to think about how good you are at these skills.
Imagination
In the age of technology, it is no longer enough to keep on making the same products. Employers need people who can come up with new ways and new ideas. They may ask you to think of some improvements.
Problem solving
Employers need workers with abilities to see problems before they happen. More importantly, they should come up with creative solutions. Imagine you are organizing a social event. Think of some problems that you could probably face. Can you think of new ways to solve them
Communication
Workers will have to be good communicators. They will have to be able to discuss key problems with other workers. Also they need to write in a clear way without too many words. After all, people need to communicate with each other in quite different ways in the new world.
Critical analysis（批判性分析）
Workers should be able to tell if some information is true or false. Imagine you are asked to use the Internet to find out some information about a famous person. Can you check the information by searching different websites
Decision making
Workers need to have a growing amount of responsibility. It is important to make decisions on what to do and not to do in different situations.
Title: Some basic skills
Introduction Developing many kinds of skills is ___74___ in the world.
Skills Imagination We'd better come up with ways to improve the products.

In the 1900s in America, kids traveled to school in different ways. Many walked. Others rode on farm trucks or on bikes. Some rode on school buses called "kid hacks". Kid hacks were wooden horse-drawn carriages. It had two long bench seats with little space in the middle for people to pass. The carriages were open on the sides, so kids might get wet on rainy days!
By the mid-1920s, more cars were on the roads, and some transport companies started to make buses out of steel. But buses still looked different from place to place.
That changed in 1939, when transportation officials from around the country met to come up with a set of standards for school buses. They wanted to make buses safer. Besides, if all school buses looked alike, it would be easier for factories to build them quickly and more conveniently.
The school bus's color was one of the 44 standards people discussed at that seven-day meeting. After trying 50 Aunds of color on the wall, they settled on the orange-yellow. And that's still what you see on buses today. National School Bus Glossy Yellow, as the color is officially called, has advantages. The color was chosen because studies had shown yellow was the most eye-catching to human beings and because it could be seen clearly in the morning and evening light when school buses usually operated.
And now the yellow bus is about to go green. The American School Bus Council says that over 25 million school children ride on more than 480,000 school buses each day, making school buses the largest transport system in America. Fewer than 1,200 of those buses were electric in 2020, but that number could rise to 10,000 by 2026.
So the next time you step onto a school bus, you can feel good knowing that your ride is much safer and drier than it would have been 100 years ago!
48. What was the kid hack like
A. B. C. D.
49. The underlined words settled on in Paragraph 4 mean ______.
A. chose B. replaced C. mentioned D. collected
50. What's the main idea of the passage
A The situation of American school buses nowadays.
B. The introduction of ancient American school buses.
C. The difference between kid hacks and school buses.
D. The development of school buses in the United States.

Once when I was six years old, I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the forest. It was a picture of a snake in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said: "Snakes swallow the whole animal without chewing（嚼） it. After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion（消化）."
I thought deeply then over the adventures of the forest. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing, my Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten Why should anyone be frightened by a hat "
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a snake digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the snake so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They a:ways need to have things explained. That's my Drawing Number Two.
The grown-ups' answer this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of snakes whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, maths and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been discouraged by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand simple things by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another profession（职业） and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flowed a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very good for me. I can tell China from Arizona easily. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
In my life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met on; e of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about snakes or forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have mot such a wise man. For him I am a normal man.
51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer wants to draw a hat in Drawing Number One.
B. The writer sees an elephant eaten by a snake in the forest.
C. Drawing Number Two shows the inside of the big snake.
D. The two drawings of the writer make people very scared.
52. In Paragraph 6, why does the writer always keep his Drawing Number One
A. To know who truly understands life. B. To show off his good drawing.
C. To make other people pleased. D. To bring himself down to a low level.
53. The passage is most probably taken from ______.
A. a travel guide B. a science report
C. a news story D. a story book
D
Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease "spillover" from animals to humans.
"As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly," said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent（频繁的）. "Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change," Fair said.
Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Las Alamoe, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.
"We're going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future," Fair said. "And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that's just increasing as we go forward."
Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects（影响） millions of people across the world every year. As . their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.
54. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according, to Fair
A. By breaking animals' habits. B. By increasing animals' numbers.
C. By improving animals' breeding（繁殖）. D. By changing animals` living environment.
55. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3
A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.
B Proving the harm of bats to human beings.
C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease
D. Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease.
56 What can we infer（推断） from Fair's words in paragraph 4
A. Humans should give up studying animals.
B. Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.
C. Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.
D. Past data can solve the problems in the future.
57. What could be the best title for the text
A. Climate Change and Disease Spillover B. Animals' Interaction with Humans
C. Scientists' Prediction for Disease Outbreaks D. Early Studies about Extreme Weather

Problem solving
Employers need workers with abilities to see problems before they happen. More importantly, they should come up with creative solutions. Imagine you are organizing a social event. Think of some problems that you could probably face. Can you think of new ways to solve them
Communication
Workers will have to be good communicators. They will have to be able to discuss key problems with other workers. Also they need to write in a clear way without too many words. After all, people need to communicate with each other in quite different ways in the new world.
Critical analysis（批判性分析）
Workers should be able to tell if some information is true or false. Imagine you are asked to use the Internet to find out some information about a famous person. Can you check the information by searching different websites
