(2016广东深圳翠园中学初中部期中)
No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu, in 2001. Other cities, including Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each year and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5 (World Environment Day). The slogan for the day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”
So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can't control the weather, but we can choose not to drive.” said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2012, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period the year before. Much of the dust comes from the desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.

2. B
解析 句意:给某人提供某种东西意味着给予某人某种东西。表示“提供”,用动词provide。
3. C

4. A
解析 句意:房间里约有20个人,他们正在举办一个聚会。people“人们”,表示复数概念。
5. C

2. D
解析 句意:我帮助他沿着街道行走和做很多其他的事情。表示“帮助”,用help。

5. B

7. D
解析 公交车上人多拥挤,故“我”不得不用鼻子把人们往“两边”(two sides)推。
8. B
解析 由下文“他们帮我把爸爸引领到座位上”可推知其前一句的意思为“幸运的是,这些人们非常友好”,表示“友好的”,用friendly。

七、任务型阅读。
It’s December. It’s snowing and the weather is really cold in the north of China. You can see many children playing with snow. Some of them are making snowmen. Some are skating on the river, because it’s so cold that the water in the river freezes(结冰). It’s a white world. How beautiful! But in Australia now, the weather is hot. Many people go swimming in the sea. They are having a good time. Jim and his friends are playing soccer near the sea. The sunny weather is really cool to them. They want to swim after playing soccer. Why are they swimming in December? That is winter, isn’t it? Yes, it is in China. But it isn’t in Australia. That’s because we, Chinese and Australians, have different seasons in a year.
