They are common in our daily lives. Dung beetles are very strong. They can pull things which are 1，000 times heavier than them. They are good at making big dung balls. They love everything to do with dung. They even eat dung. That's so funny. It's common to see fireflies on summer nights. Fireflies live near water or in a wet environment. At night, fireflies fly up from grass. They blink(闪烁) their lights and look beautiful. Most fireflies eat snails(蜗牛) for food. Usually, many fireflies share a snail. Cockroaches live in dark, warm and wet areas. They can run up to about 1.5 metres in one second. So it's difficult for people to catch them. And cockroaches can stay underwater for 15 minutes. They are bad for people. There are 629 muscles(肌肉) in a person's body. However， a caterpillar has about 40，000 muscles. Caterpillars eat a lot of food to be strong, and they eat quickly. When they become strong enough, they turn into butterflies. ( )21. What do dung beetles look like? A. Tall.　 B. Big.　 C. Thin.　 D. Strong. ( )22. Which of the following do most fireflies like to eat? ( )23. Why is it difficult for people to catch cockroaches? A. Cockroaches run too fast.　 B. Cockroaches are too strong. C. Cockroaches eat a lot of food.　 D. Cockroaches have many muscles. ( )24.

Sometimes a journey of a few kilometres can take more than an hour. For a very short journey， it's a good idea to walk. But what will happen when you want to go further? A popular TV car programme asked four people to do an experiment(实验). They chose different ways to take the same 27­kilometre journey. The first one went by bike. The second one went by car. The third one chose the bus. And the fourth one travelled by boat. They all started at the same time and the same place in West London, but who got to City Airport in East London first? The first one came first. In second place was the fourth one. The third one came third and the second one was last. The bike was quicker than all the other ways and the car was the slowest. These people weren't very satisfied with the result(结果) because they wanted the car to win. They said the bike wasn't a real winner because it was more dangerous. But, of course, the bike is the real winner. It is the best way to take a short trip by bike. It's cheaper than a bus and healthier for you than a car. It's also better for our cities because bikes don't pollute the air. So next time you take a trip, think before you and your parents get into the car, “Can we take a trip by bike？” ( )26. Why should people take a short journey on foot in London? A. They think it's relaxing.　 B. They can save much money. C. There are lots of traffic jams.　 D. There is not enough space for parking. ( )27. Who went to the City Airport by car in the experiment? A. The first person.　 B. The second person. C. The third person.　 D. The fourth person. ( )28.

To tell people why the traffic is heavy. B. To teach people how to do an experiment. C. To advise people to take a short trip by bike. D. To ask people to watch a TV car programme. ( )30. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. The Information About London　 B. The Importance of Driving a Car C. The Best Way to Travel in London　 D. The History of a TV Car Programme C 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的情况介绍，右栏是七个出行建议。请将情况介绍和出行建议进行匹配。 ( )31. Mike's house is not far away from his school.
