A. over B. in C. through D. against 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——大卫的头撞到了墙上，因为他一边走路一边看抖音上的视频。——哦，可怜的孩子。他最好记住走路时不要看手机。 考查介词辨析。over在……上面；in在……里；through穿过（指从物体内部穿过）；against紧靠；碰；撞。根据“David hit his head...the wall because he was watching the videos on TikTok while walking.”可知，大卫在走路时看视频，所以他的头“撞”到了墙上，against符合句意。故选D。 22. —I’m always too shy to communicate with others. I’m not good at it. Sometimes, I feel embarrassed (尴尬的) when I am with my classmates silently. —Don’t be nervous. We all have been in such ________.

A. needn’t B. mustn’t C. shouldn’t D. can’t 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Lily，你在看什么？——我在目不转睛地看架子上的泰迪熊。妈妈，你可以给我买一个吗？ 考查情态动词的用法。needn’t不需要；mustn’t禁止；shouldn’t不应该；can’t不能。根据“…take my eyes off”可知此处指目不转睛地看着泰迪熊，不能移开视线，应用“can’t”。故选D。 24.

What a 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：知识是多么有用！作为中学生，我们应该尽力学习更多。 考查感叹句。根据空后的“useful knowledge is!”可知，空处修饰的中心词是形容词“useful”，所以应用“How+形容词+主语+谓语!”结构的感叹句。故选B。 26. Walking is good for our health.

But most people feel blue when coming home after travelling. And this feeling is called post-vacation blues. If you feel blue after travelling, here are some ways to help you get out of this bad feeling. Give yourself a week to relax first. You don’t need to think what to do next and just be relaxed. You can show your pet some love if you have one, watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music. After a week, do something useful and keep yourself busy. For example, when I came back from Europe, I felt blue because I didn’t have a job and was living with my parents. So I decided to find a job and make myself busy. If you don’t need a job, just try something like painting your room or tidying your house. You can also do exercise, learn to cook, visit your friends and just do anything you want! It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip. Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had. And you can plan to take another trip. Just like Elbert Hubbard said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.” Next time when you feel blue, remember to try these ways. You’ll find going back to the real life is not that terrible as you think. 49. The writer uses Elbert Hubbard’s words in Paragraph 4 to show ________. A. people feel very tired and are not willing to travel again B. people who have just had a vacation can plan a new trip C. people are excited to share their vacation with their friends D. people hope to travel again because they have had only one trip 50. What does the writer advise us to do after travelling? a. We can do something useful and keep ourselves busy after a week. b. We should give ourselves a week to relax first. c. We can make a photo book and keep a diary. d. We shouldn’t stay up late but live a happy life. e. We can remember the good times during the trip. A. abd B. abe C. acd D. bce 51. Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to spend your holiday happily. B. How to get out of post-holiday blues. C. Why people have post-holiday blues. D. What we should do before travelling. 【答案】49. B 50. B 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些方法可以帮助你摆脱度假后糟糕的感觉。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had. And you can plan to take another trip. Just like Elbert Hubbard said, ‘No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.’”可知你在度假时拍的照片有助于你回忆起曾经的美好时光。你可以计划再去一趟，正如埃尔伯特·哈伯德所说：“没有人比刚刚度假的人更需要度假”，所以这句话是表明刚刚度假的人可以计划一次新的旅行。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After a week, do something useful and keep yourself busy.”可知一周后，做一些有用的事情，让自己忙碌起来；根据“Give yourself a week to relax first”可知先给自己一周时间放松；根据“It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip. Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had”可知是可以记起旅行中的快乐时光。故选B。 【51题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题；第二至第四段介绍了一些方法可以帮助你摆脱度假后糟糕的感觉；第五段进行总结。故文章结构是总分总。故选C。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一些方法可以帮助你摆脱度假后糟糕的感觉。故选B。 C “You are just like your mother.” This phrase is often said by many. As we grow older, we may notice that we’re getting more like our mother. Yet surprisingly, a new study has found that most people are more similar to (与……相似) their father. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in the US found that we inherit (继承) the same number of genes (基因) from mother and father. But we use more of the DNA we inherit from our father. The study helps us to explain who we are in some ways. And more importantly, it helps us to find out whether we are likely to develop diseases (疾病). For example, if we inherit the gene for a disease from our mother, it may not be as strong as if we had inherited it from our father. “We know that there are 95 genes affected (影响) by our parents,” said lead researcher Professor Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena. These are called imprinted genes. But now, the study has found that there are thousands of other genes that have come from our parents. For the study, the scientists chose three different kinds of mice with different genes. The mice then gave birth to nine babies each. When they all grew up, the team then check every single gene of their DNA. They found an imbalance that swung toward their father. Villena also said that the recent study was the first to show that mammals (哺乳动物) are more similar to their fathers than mothers. “This is an exceptional new finding that opens the door to a totally new area of study in human genetics. It’s amazing.” he said. 53. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. All the people are more similar to their fathers. B. Scientists had carried out similar studies before. C. Genes are affected more by fathers than by mothers. D. People inherit more genes from fathers than mothers. 54. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. We are stronger than our father and mother. B. The finding can help us know possible diseases. C. We inherit exactly the same diseases from our parents. D. We don’t inherit the gene of a disease from our mother. 55. What does the underlined word “exceptional” mean in the passage? A. excellent B. easy C. natural D. common 56. What is the best title of the passage? A. How many genes affect us in our life? B. How do the scientists carry out a study? C. Are we more like our mother or father? D. Can our genes change when we grow up? 【答案】53. C 54. B 55. A 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了人们的基因来自父母，大多数人像母亲，但是新的研究发现，我们的基因受到父亲的影响比母亲的更多。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But we use more of the DNA we inherit from our father.”可知，我们更多地使用从父亲那里遗传的DNA，C选项“基因受父亲的影响比受母亲的影响更大”符合文意，故选C。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“it helps us to find out whether we are likely to develop diseases”可知本段主要介绍了这能帮我们弄清楚我们是否有可能患病，故选B。 【55题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“new finding that opens the door to a totally new area of study in human genetics”可知，这是一个能打开人类遗传学研究的全新领域大门的新发现，A选项“杰出的”符合文意，故选A。 56题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段“As we grow older, we may notice that we’re getting more like our mother. Yet surprisingly, a new study has found that most people are more similar to their father.”可知，本文主要讲述了人们的基因来自父母，大多数人像母亲，但是新的研究发现，我们的基因受到父亲的影响比母亲的更多，C选项“我们更像父亲还是母亲？”符合题意，故选C。 D BUMP!

There are tall trees with all kinds of fruit on them. There are brightly coloured birds in the branches of the trees. There are lots of flowers and pretty butterflies.

She can’t see the rest of the body because it’s under the house. “I’m the Witch of the North. ” the woman says. “There are four witches in Oz, I’m a good witch. The Witch of the South is also a good witch. She lives in the land of the Quadlings. But the Witch of the West is very, very wicked (邪恶的). ” Then she picks up the silver shoes and gives them to Dorothy. “These shoes are for you,” she says. “You must wear them.

Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters). This traditional children’s vehicle (交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements (人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed (恼火). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn’t ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this, it seems that there’re still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that, “e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation (创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country.” It’s true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake ( 刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 86. How many ways of transport does the writer mention (提及) in Paragraph 1? ________________________________________ 87. Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? ________________________________________ 88. How will the police in the UK punish (处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? ________________________________________ 89. What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind? ________________________________________ 90. What do you think of riding e-scooters?(请自拟作答) ________________________________________ 【答案】86. Seven. 87. Because it’s a cheap and easy way of transport. 88. They will fine them up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence./By fining them up to £300 and taking away six points on their driving licence. 89. Safety. 90. It’s convenient./It’s interesting./It’s dangerous. 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了电动滑板车作为新兴交通方式在伦敦等城市的普及、它们引发的安全问题、对交通规则的挑战，以及政府对这些问题的态度和正在进行的法律审查，强调了在为电动滑板车创造安全旅行空间方面需要做更多的工作。 【86题详解】 根据“Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters).”可知，本段提及了公交车、地铁、汽车、摩托车、自行车、轮滑以及电动滑板车，一共7种交通方式。故填Seven/7. 【87题详解】 根据“And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world.”可知，滑板车越来越受欢迎是因为它已经成为一种便宜又方便的交通方式。故填Because it’s a cheap and easy way of transport. 【88题详解】 根据“The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so.”可知，警方将对这些驾驶员处以最高300英镑的罚款，并在驾驶执照上扣6分。故填They will fine them up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence./By fining them up to £300 and taking away six points on their driving licence. 【89题详解】 根据“safety must always be in our mind”可知，Michael Ellis认为我们必须时刻把安全放在心中。故填Safety. 【90题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为It’s convenient./It’s interesting./It’s dangerous. 八、句子翻译《共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10分) 91. 对我们来说，像以前一样经常见到彼此已经变得不可能了。(It...adj. for...to do...) ________________________________ 【答案】It has become impossible for us to see each other as often as before. 【解析】 【详解】该句为句型“It...adj. for...to do...”，意为“对……来说做某事是……的”。根据句意，该句为现在完成时“have/has+动词过去分词”，主语为it，助动词用has；become impossible“变得不可能”；us“我们”；see each other“见到彼此”；as often as before“像以前一样经常”。故填It has become impossible for us to see each other as often as before. 92. 他们过去常常在业余时间听听收音机或者看看电视。(used to do...) ________________________________________ 【答案】They used to listen to the radio or watch TV in their free time. 【解析】 【详解】根据句意可知，此句为陈述句，他们they，作主语；过去常常做某事：used to do sth.；听收音机：listen to the radio；或者：or；看电视：watch TV；in one’s free time“在某人的业余时间里”，用于句末作时间状语，根据主语they可知，用their代替“one’s”。故填They used to listen to the radio or watch TV in their free time. 93. 坐飞机去香港花了我们大约三个半小时的时间。(It takes...to do...) ________________________________________ 【答案】It took us about three and a half hours to fly to Hong Kong. 【解析】 【详解】根据题干可知，本题可用句式“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”；我们：us（此处作宾语，所以用人称代词的宾格）；大约三个半小时的时间：about three and a half hours；坐飞机去香港：fly to Hong Kong。根据中文“花了”可知，时态是一般过去时，动词takes要变成过去式took。故填It took us about three and a half hours to fly to Hong Kong. 94. 自二十世纪以来，这个地方就因为它的剧院而有名。(be famous for. . . ) ________________________________________ 【答案】It has been famous for its theatres since the twentieth century. 【解析】 【详解】自二十世纪以来“since the twentieth century”；因..而闻名“be famous for”；它的剧院“its theatres”。根据前面的时间状语可知本句要用现在完成时态，即has/have done，且主语it是第三人称单数，所以应该用has done，故填It has been famous for its theatres since the twentieth century. 95. 他就我小手指那么点儿大 。(the same ...as ...) （汉译英） ____________________________________________________. 【答案】He is/was the same size as my little finger 【解析】 【详解】根据标点符号可知，此句是陈述句。he“他”；be“是”，时态可以是一般现在时或一般过去时，此处应用三单形式；the same size as...“与……一样大小”；my little finger“我小手指”。故填He is/was the same size as my little finger。 九、书面表达（满分 20 分） 96. 成为自己的全世界，努力变优秀,然后遇见更好的自己。我校英文专刊以 “______ Helps Me Meet a Better Self” 为题在八年级开展征文活动，请你结合所给问题，根据图示选择或自拟一个方面写一篇英语短文参赛，分享你将如何成为一个更好的自己。 1.

As the saying goes, “Reading makes a full man.” I used to spend lots of time on computer games and my grades were too bad. My parents were truly angry with me. Then one day, my English teacher told me to read instead of playing computer games. He said reading did help! I began to read 100,000 Whys. It was so interesting that I nearly forgot the computer games. I show an interest in reading different kinds of books. Reading not only brings me knowledge, but also teaches me how to get on well with others and how to be a better person. I become more and more confident after reading so many books. Now, my grades have improved and my parents are satisfied with me. Reading is a lifelong journey. In my daily life, I will read for about one hour every day if there isn’t too much homework.

Their hard work made people across the country cheer. Here are some of 2023’s best sports stars. Chinese star hurdler Wu Yanni has run into the hearts of Chinese people. She likes to point her index finger at the sky before a race. On August 4th, the 26-year-old won silver (银牌) in the women’s 100 m hurdles at the FISU World University Games. This also got her into the 2024 Paris Olympics. On November 10th, she won gold in the same event at China’s first Student (Youth) Games. On December 2nd, Su Yiming, a 19-year-old snowboarding star, won gold in the men’s Big Air event at the 2023—2024 International Ski Federation (FIS) Freestyle and Snowboard Big Air World Cup in Beijing. Looking at the Beijing 2022 logo on cooling towers behind him, people remembered Su’s Olympic win. That was China’s first Olympic gold in snowboarding. Ding Liren made history for China. He became the country’s first male chess player to win the world championship (冠军). Ding is 30 years old. He beat Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia 2.5—1.5 at the 2023 International Chess Federation World Championship. Ding’s winning is a dream coming true. The dream is not only his—it’s a dream of all Chinese chess players. On December 19th, 2023, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) brought out the world ranking of Week 51 for the women’s singles. Chinese player Sun Yingsha got No. 1 with 8,550 points. Sun, 23, had an amazing 2023. She made history by winning gold in the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles at the 2023 Singapore Smash, a WTT Grand Smash event in March. According to the ITTF, Sun has a strong playing style. People call her the “Little Devil” because of her quick feet and deadly forehands (正手击球). 46. Which fact of the following is true according to the passage? A. Ding Liren became our country’s first chess player to win the world championship. B. Su Yiming’s win in the World Cup was China’s first international gold in snowboarding. C. Sun Yingsha is called the“Little Devil”because of her quick hand and deadly forehands. D. Wu Yanni came second in the women’s 100 m hurdles at the FISU World University Games. 47. Which of the following words can best describe the four sports stars? A. Hard-working. B. Generous. C. Curious. D. Lucky. 48. Where can we usually read this material? A. In a picture book. B. In a magazine. C. In a guide book. D. In a novel. B People usually feel excited when they go on vacation. But most people feel blue when coming home after travelling. And this feeling is called post-vacation blues. If you feel blue after travelling, here are some ways to help you get out of this bad feeling. Give yourself a week to relax first. You don’t need to think what to do next and just be relaxed. You can show your pet some love if you have one, watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music. After a week, do something useful and keep yourself busy. For example, when I came back from Europe, I felt blue because I didn’t have a job and was living with my parents. So I decided to find a job and make myself busy. If you don’t need a job, just try something like painting your room or tidying your house. You can also do exercise, learn to cook, visit your friends and just do anything you want! It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip. Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had. And you can plan to take another trip. Just like Elbert Hubbard said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.” Next time when you feel blue, remember to try these ways. You’ll find going back to the real life is not that terrible as you think. 49. The writer uses Elbert Hubbard’s words in Paragraph 4 to show ________. A. people feel very tired and are not willing to travel again B. people who have just had a vacation can plan a new trip C. people are excited to share their vacation with their friends D. people hope to travel again because they have had only one trip 50. What does the writer advise us to do after travelling? a. We can do something useful and keep ourselves busy after a week. b. We should give ourselves a week to relax first. c. We can make a photo book and keep a diary. d. We shouldn’t stay up late but live a happy life. e. We can remember the good times during the trip. A. abd B. abe C. acd D. bce 51. Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to spend your holiday happily. B. How to get out of post-holiday blues. C. Why people have post-holiday blues. D. What we should do before travelling. C “You are just like your mother.” This phrase is often said by many. As we grow older, we may notice that we’re getting more like our mother. Yet surprisingly, a new study has found that most people are more similar to (与……相似) their father. A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in the US found that we inherit (继承) the same number of genes (基因) from mother and father. But we use more of the DNA we inherit from our father. The study helps us to explain who we are in some ways. And more importantly, it helps us to find out whether we are likely to develop diseases (疾病). For example, if we inherit the gene for a disease from our mother, it may not be as strong as if we had inherited it from our father. “We know that there are 95 genes affected (影响) by our parents,” said lead researcher Professor Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena. These are called imprinted genes. But now, the study has found that there are thousands of other genes that have come from our parents. For the study, the scientists chose three different kinds of mice with different genes. The mice then gave birth to nine babies each. When they all grew up, the team then check every single gene of their DNA. They found an imbalance that swung toward their father. Villena also said that the recent study was the first to show that mammals (哺乳动物) are more similar to their fathers than mothers. “This is an exceptional new finding that opens the door to a totally new area of study in human genetics. It’s amazing.” he said. 53. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. All the people are more similar to their fathers. B. Scientists had carried out similar studies before. C. Genes are affected more by fathers than by mothers. D. People inherit more genes from fathers than mothers. 54. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. We are stronger than our father and mother. B. The finding can help us know possible diseases. C. We inherit exactly the same diseases from our parents. D. We don’t inherit the gene of a disease from our mother. 55. What does the underlined word “exceptional” mean in the passage? A. excellent B. easy C. natural D. common 56. What is the best title of the passage? A. How many genes affect us in our life? B. How do the scientists carry out a study? C. Are we more like our mother or father? D. Can our genes change when we grow up? D BUMP! Suddenly the house hits the ground. Dorothy wakes up. “Good morning, Toto,” she says. Toto wakes up too and puts his cold little nose in her face. The tornado (龙卷风) has stopped. The house isn’t moving now. Dorothy looks around and listens. It’s light now and the room is full of sunshine! She can hear birds. “Where are we, Toto?” She says. “We aren’t in Kansas. There aren’t any birds there.” The little dog jumps off the bed and goes to the door. He starts barking. Dorothy follows him. She opens the door and looks out. “Oh!” she says. “What a wonderful place!” She can see a beautiful country in front of her. There’s green grass everywhere. There are tall trees with all kinds of fruit on them. There are brightly coloured birds in the branches of the trees. There are lots of flowers and pretty butterflies.

The bells make a tinkling noise when the people move their heads. The men’s hats are blue and their clothes are blue too. The woman’s hat is white. Her dress is also white and it’s covered with silver stars. She walks up to Dorothy and says, “Welcome to the land of the Munchkins! Thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East for us. Now our people are free.” “You’re very kind but you’re wrong,” Dorothy replies. “I don’t know the Wicked Witch of the East.” “Look!” the old woman says. “She’s there! Under your house! You can see her feet!” Dorothy looks and sees a pair of feet in silver shoes. She can’t see the rest of the body because it’s under the house. “I’m the Witch of the North. ” the woman says. “There are four witches in Oz, I’m a good witch. The Witch of the South is also a good witch. She lives in the land of the Quadlings. But the Witch of the West is very, very wicked (邪恶的). ” Then she picks up the silver shoes and gives them to Dorothy. “These shoes are for you,” she says. “You must wear them. They’re very special.” The shoes are very pretty. Dorothy takes them and puts them on. They are her size and fit her well. 57. What wakes Dorothy up? A. The bright sunshine outside the house. B. The singing of the birds in the tall trees. C. The noise of the house hitting the ground. D. Dog Toto’s cold nose and his loud barks. 58. What’s the correct order of the following things? a.

A. cbead B. eacbd C. ceabd D. eabdc 59. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A. The hats. B. The people. C. The bells. D. Their heads. 60. What can we learn from the passage? A.

People on the land of the Munchkins thank Dorothy very much. 第二节 信息还原 (六选五) (共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分, 满分 10 分) 阅读下面短文，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 Nowadays many people go camping for fun.

Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters). This traditional children’s vehicle (交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements (人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed (恼火). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn’t ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this, it seems that there’re still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that, “e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation (创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country.” It’s true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake ( 刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 86. How many ways of transport does the writer mention (提及) in Paragraph 1? ________________________________________ 87. Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? ________________________________________ 88. How will the police in the UK punish (处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? ________________________________________ 89.
