Either of them B From London to New York, from Hong Kong to Moscow, subways are an important way of transportation. Traffic in modern cities is often quite heavy, and it can sometimes take hours to cross a busy city in a car or bus. Subways help solve that problem, since they don't have to stop at traffic lights, and hundreds of people can take a subway train together. Mary I lose things every day, but never very important things. I always find them again. The trouble is, when I find them it's too late. I don't need them any more! It really is annoying. For example, I need to post a letter so I look for the stamps I bought yesterday. Of course, I can't find them so I buy some more. (26) Every morning I spend at least ten minutes looking for my handbag. I get really angry because it's always in a stupid place. Mike I am usually very careful with my things. (27) However, there are some things which I can't keep. Umbrellas, for example. I buy two umbrellas every year. I put them down in shops, restaurants or in the cinema and I forget them. When I go back to get them, they're never there. Now I always buy very cheap umbrellas! Jack I always lose papers and keys—usually important papers. I also leave my phone card in the telephone. Last month I left my bag at the supermarket. Luckily, they phoned me and I went back to get it. Another thing I often lose is my car keys. Last week I lost them so I took the bus to work. When I got home I found them in the rubbish bin! In larger subway systems， such as Mexico City's, there are lines that go far beyond the city centre. In this way, people living in the suburbs can take a train to work. This reduces(减少) the traffic entering and leaving a city. It also helps reduce air pollution, a big problem in many cities. Finally, subways are usually cheaper. Basically, in a city with a subway, everybody wins! 根据短文内容，从 A，B，C，D, E 中选择最恰当的一项补全下列各句。 21. Subways around the world __________________ 22. Traffic in modern cities __________________ 23. In larger subway systems people living in the suburbs __________________ 24. Thousands of cars entering and leaving the city __________________ 25. Travelling by subway doesn't take a long time __________________ A. increase (增加) air pollution. B. can take the subway train to work. C. are an important means of transportation. D. because subways don't have to stop at traffic lights. E. is often very heavy and it sometimes takes a long time to cross the city in a car or bus. C 2 (A) 将文中划线的 26、27 小题的两个句子分别翻译成汉语。 (B) 根据文章内容

回答下列各题。 28. Why is Mary angry every morning? 29. Where did Jack find his car keys last week? D How to Find out about the Weather 1. “Read ” the sky—look at the clouds. If they are fluffy (绒毛似的) and like cotton, the weather may be good that day. If they are dark and heavy, there may be rain or snow soon. 2. Notice the wind—look at the trees to see how hard the wind is blowing. Are the leaves falling?Are the branches moving or breaking? Is the wind blowing the trees down? If you can't see any trees, hold up a flag or a cloth to see how much it moves. 3. Check the rainfall—put out a jar to catch the rain. Add a ruler to its outside to see how much water is in it. 4.
