They said it was to go by bus and told me the reasons (理由). To fly, of course, is the 2 (fast) way, but you can’t see anything 3 your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds, 4 the cost is very high. To travel by train is the 5 (relaxing), because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it. You can also see cities and the countryside through the windows. But sometimes it’s 6 (crowd) on the train. And it’s hard 7 (buy) train tickets during holidays. To travel by bus is easy, cheap and convenient, although (尽管) it is not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train. You can find many 8 (bus) almost in every city, big or small. That 9 (make) travel easy. I took their advice. So I decided to take a bus to the south coast for 10 interesting trip. 二、选词填空 从下列方框中选择适当的单词,并用其正确形式填空。 cheap well little large slow 11.Mr Smith is old and he walks . 12.Peggy didn’t buy that expensive dress.

Some arrive on foot, and some take the bus. However, eighty percent of the students arrive in their parents’ cars. The entrance (入口) to the school is crowded and dangerous. I think cars are the main problem. I think there are a few things we can do. First, we should encourage students to take the bus or walk to school. Taking the bus can help cut down air pollution. Walking is healthier, too. Next, what should parents do if their children have to come to school by car? I think their parents should park their cars far away from the school entrance. For example, they can park their cars at the end of the street. Finally, in my opinion, when parents park dangerously in front of the school entrance, they will be punished and have to pay some money—a fine (罚金). This way, they will be cautious and think twice before parking. In a word, cars are making it dangerous for students to enter the school safely. Therefore (因此), encouraging students to walk to school, or asking parents to park away from the school gate could solve this problem. 21.How do most of the students go to school according to the text? A.On the bike. B.On the bus. C.On foot. D.In the car. 22.What does the underlined word “cautious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Careless. B.Wonderful. C.Careful. D.Impossible. 23.How many suggestions are mentioned in the second paragraph? A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5. 24.Which can be the best title of this text? A.Ways to Arrive at School B.Ways to Park Cars at the School Gate C.Ways to Solve the Air Pollution Around the School D.Ways to Solve the Traffic Problem near the School Gate We can not live a modern life without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. Traveling by train is slower than by plane. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable. People like traveling by sea. There are large luxury liners(豪华客轮)or river boats. They are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday. Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel hundreds of miles a day, just as their wish. They can stop wherever(无论何地) they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel. That is why people choose traveling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business. 25._ have comfortable seats and dining-cars.

A.it is as fast as trains and planes B.it is very cheap C.it is a pleasant way to spend a holiday D.it can stop wherever they like 27.If we travel by car, we can _.
