shoulders and onto the floor.

Have you heard of a bike bus? It carries a group of children to school in the same way a school bus does, except
everyone is on bikes. The “bus driver”—an adult on a bike—guides a slowly moving group along a route (路线) that
has already been chosen. Kids and their parents join the group on their own bikes when the group rides by.
Bike buses are a way for everyone to bike together for fun, convenience and safety. On busy streets, a big group
of five to ten kids is much more visible (明显的) than one or two kids biking alone.
Sam Balto is a PE teacher. He leads a bike bus to school. His bus is especially visible because it has hundreds
of shouting kids and parents. It stretches out over several blocks (街区). Sam vlogs his bike bus trip. As the parent of
two kids, I can’t watch his videos without crying. The bike bus calms my fear that the kids will get hurt on the road.
Laughing kids! Outside, in person! Together! So when a friend asked if I would lead a bike bus in our neighborhood, of
course I said yes.
Using active transportation to go to work and school—whether that’s a biking bus, or even a walking bus—has
many advantages. Yes, people are healthier and happier when they’re more active, but reducing the number of cars
around a school can also reduce heavy traffic and air pollution.
I was shocked by what starting or driving a bike bus meant to different people. For Luke Bornheimer, the leader
of the San Francisco Bike Bus, it’s amazing to see children take care of themselves. “Kids are really smart and strong.”
Bornheimer says. “They get how to ride responsibly (负责任地) and have fun. We’re just giving them that chance.”

For me, the bike bus was the start of rejoining my community. My kids love the bike bus, but we parents might love
it even more. We talk about everything, from the bike bus to other topics, such as planning neighborhood roller
skating meetups and party nights.
I do accept that getting more kids to safely bike and walk in more places will take a lot more work than parents
just trying to get their kids to school every day. But our efforts are a start. We live on a planet that has many
environmental problems. Maybe the best way to remind ourselves that we and the Earth are worth (值得的) protecting
is by moving through it, not in cars, but with fresh air on our faces and the sounds of kids’ laughter echoing in our
ears.
27. According to the passage, a bike bus is __________.
A. a special bus that parents take to go to their workplace
B. a school bus with parents riding bikes as guides in front
C. a fun game for children as they’re on their way to school
D. a way for children to ride to school with a “driver” on a bike
28. Why did the writer want to lead a bike bus?
A. She couldn’t stand her kids shouting.
B. She decided to do something for the school.
C. She liked how it kept children safe on the road.
D. She thought cycling was a popular outdoor activity.

.
A The writer is the leader of her neighborhood activities.
B. Different people started the bike bus in different ways.
C. Bike buses offer kids chances to be responsible on the road.
D. The writer started riding a bike because of the heavy traffic.
30. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce the good and bad points of active transportation.
B. To invite some experienced bus drivers to be bike bus leaders.
C. To advise the local government to offer more public services for kids.
D. To ask people to help kids and the environment by starting bike buses.

推理判断题。根据最后一段“But our efforts are a start. We live on a planet that has many environmental
problems. Maybe the best way to remind ourselves that we and the Earth are worth (值得的) protecting is by
moving through it, not in cars, but with fresh air on our faces and the sounds of kids’ laughter echoing in our
ears.”可知，作者写这篇文章主要是呼吁人们开始“自行车巴士”来帮助孩子们和环境。故选D。
六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共8分，每小题2分）
Can a cricket really tell you the temperature outside? Do fish know if it’s going to be a cold winter? You’ve
probably heard stories about animals that can predict (预测) the weather. Some of the sayings, like, “if a cat sits
with its back to the fire, hard weather can be expected” may sound silly or unbelievable, but some are based on
animals that seem to sense (感觉到) more about our environment than we do.
Do animals tell us when a storm is coming? Birds react to the drop in air pressure (气压) before a storm by
flying low, and not flying at all an hour or so before the storm hits. Other animals behave strangely before a storm
too. Insects stay close to the ground and wolves howl (嚎叫) because their ears can sense the pressure change.
,
Before a hurricane sharks will run away from the path of the storm, although they hardly ever leave their home
waters. Seabirds also know they should fly inland.
While not really “weather,” earthquakes are also something that animals can predict. You may have heard
stories about animals and earthquakes: many are far more sensitive to earthquakes than humans. Unusual animal
behavior sometimes can tell us what is about to happen. After the 2005 tsunami in Sri Lanka, it was reported that

very few animals were killed. Many of them were also acting strangely the day before the tsunami hit. It seems that
they knew something was coming and ran to safety. A good rule is, if the animals are running away, you probably
should too.
The sound of crickets chirping (鸣叫) can tell you summer is near, but do you know that it can also tell you
how hot it is? Crickets are cold-blooded so when the temperature in the air changes, the cricket’s body temperature
changes with it. As the temperature rises, the cricket’s metabolism (新陈代谢) increases. When the heat rises,
crickets chirp. To get the exact temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (℉), count the number of chirps in 14 seconds,
and add 40.
Do you have a tried and true weather animal that predicts the weather?
31. Can wolves predict a storm?
___________________________________________________
32. What will sharks do before a hurricane?
___________________________________________________
33. How can we know the exact temperature from a cricket?

【答案】31. Yes, they can.

书面表达（共18分）
七、根据中文意思和英文提示词语写出句子。（共8分，每小题2分）
35. 我打算这个寒假去学滑冰。（learn）
_____________________________________________________
【答案】I am going/plan to learn to skate this winter holiday.
【解析】
【详解】我：I；这个寒假：this winter holiday；学习做某事：learn to do sth.；滑冰：skate。结合语境可知，
此题为一般将来时，表示计划打算用be going to结构或plan to do。主语I是第一人称，因此be用am。故
填I am going/plan to learn to skate this winter holiday.
36. 昨天我一到家就看见好多礼物。（as soon as）
_________________________
【答案】I saw a lot of presents as soon as I got home yesterday.
【解析】
【详解】该句考查时间状语从句，as soon as“一……就”，结合“昨天”可知该句使用一般过去时；昨天
yesterday；我I；到家got home；看到saw；好多礼物a lot of presents；故填I saw a lot of presents as soon as
I got home yesterday.
37. 当你有困难的时候，别忘了寻求帮助。（ask for）
_____________________________________________________
【答案】Don’t forget to ask for help when (you are) in trouble.
【解析】
【详解】“当……时候”when；“在困难中”be in trouble；“不要忘记做某事”don’t forget to do sth.；
“求助”ask for help。在时间状语从句中，当主句的主语和从句的主语为同一人，并且含有be动词，从句
中的主语连同be动词都可以省略。故填Don’t forget to ask for help when (you are) in trouble.
38. 我的家乡是一个有着三百万人口的城市。（a population of）

_____________________________________________________
【答案】My hometown is a city with a population of 3 million.
【解析】
【详解】根据中文提示，时态为一般现在时。My hometown“我的家乡”，第三人称单数作主语；be动词

The Traveler’s Take
Do translation apps break down barriers (障碍) or put up new ones?
A few years ago, while I was on a cycling trip in Brazil, I fell off my bike. I was a little hurt, but my bike was
badly broken. It looked like I was in for a difficult day. I needed to fix the bike. I had seen a house a few minutes
before, so I picked up my bike and started walking.
The language barrier was a problem. I could only say “please” and “thank you” in Portuguese (葡萄牙语) and
I had no idea how to explain what happened. Then I remembered my translation app! I spent about 20 minutes on the
side of the road tapping out (打出) the story and some requests for different things. I knew it wouldn’t be perfect, but

at least it would tell people the basics. I came to the house, app in hand and knocked on the door.
Before I could press PLAY on my carefully made greeting, the elderly woman who answered the door was on
the job. One look at me, my broken bicycle, my dirty knees and torn shirt, that translation app was about as useful as
air conditioning on a motorcycle.
Five minutes later, I was sitting in the yard with my leg on a chair, clean and bandaged (包好绷带). Maria (the
elderly woman), her husband Gustavo, their son and daughter, two of their grandchildren, and a group of neighbors
had appeared from nowhere, and my accident was quickly becoming a party. Gustavo and a neighbor were enjoying
a heated debate about the best way to fix my bicycle and the smell of food started to fill the air. A bike accident is
usually a bad thing. But by the time Maria and her son left me at my hotel that night, with a full stomach and a shiny,
clean, fully fixed bicycle, I felt like the luckiest man in the world.
Translation apps have their place and are very useful. I think from now on, though, I’m going to use that app for
work or maybe in stores when I travel and need to buy something. When it comes to people, I’ll take the risk.
I won’t catch the story details, and I’ll misunderstand instructions now and again. I’ll surely have trouble with
jokes, but humor usually doesn’t translate, even if your app gives you all the right words. I’ll get surprises, maybe
some bad ones but mostly good ones. I’ll get to act things out and look silly doing it, and I’ll get to solve the puzzle
of what someone else is trying to tell me. I’ll get gestures, laughter, attention, and the kindness of strangers.
Language barrier? What language barrier?
40. What problems did the writer have when he was in Brazil?
___________________________________________________________
41. What things did Maria and her family do to make the writer feel like the luckiest man in the world?
___________________________________________________________
42. What is the writer’s idea about translation apps? Do you agree? Why or why not?
___________________________________________________________
【答案】40. He was hurt and his bike was broken. He has a problem with language barrier.
41. Maria and her family bandaged his leg up, fixed his bike and cooked dishes for him and then sent him to the
hotel.
42. (答案不唯一，以下仅供参考)
The writer thinks translation apps have their place and are very useful for work or in stores when travelling abroad,
but when it comes to people, he will take the risk and communicate with people by himself. I agree with him. Because I
can get laughter, attention and the kindness of strangers by acting things out. (Because the nonverbal interaction with
the strangers will make the trip more enjoyable./Because the real communication between people can’t be replaced
by translation apps.)

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者因为语言不通，在国外的一次受伤经历。
【40题详解】
根据“I fell off my bike. I was a little hurt, but my bike was badly broken.”以及“The language barrier was a
problem.”可知从自行车上摔下来了，自己有点受伤，自行车坏得很厉害，而且因为在国外，还有语言障碍。
故填He was hurt and his bike was broken. He has a problem with language barrier.
【41题详解】
根据“Five minutes later, I was sitting in the yard with my leg on a chair, clean and bandaged ”以及“But by the
time Maria and her son left me at my hotel that night, with a full stomach and a shiny, clean, fully fixed bicycle, I
felt like the luckiest man in the world.”可知帮他修了车，请他吃了饭，还帮他包扎了伤口，送回了宾馆。故
填Maria and her family bandaged his leg up, fixed his bike and cooked dishes for him and then sent him to the
hotel.
【42题详解】
开放题，合理即可。根据“Translation apps have their place and are very useful.…When it comes to people, I’ll
take the risk.”可知作者认为翻译软件很有用，但是当需要处理与人相关的事时，他宁愿自己来。故填The
writer thinks translation apps have their place and are very useful for work or in stores when travelling abroad, but
when it comes to people, he will take the risk and communicate with people by himself. I agree with him. Because I
can get laughter, attention and the kindness of strangers by acting things out. (Because the nonverbal interaction
with the strangers will make the trip more enjoyable./Because the real communication between people can’t be
replaced by translation apps.)
