One foreign designer(设计师) is finding creative ways to make a change, and he’s inviting bikers to join him.Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland(荷兰). He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog(雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at a Chinese bike-sharing company to create a new product for public use. It’s an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle, which is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the dirty air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker’s face.In winter, it’s common for thick clouds of haze(霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions(排放物), to cover areas of China.“Of course one tower and a few bikes won’t solve China’s air pollution problem,” Daan said. “But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully encourage communities to create greener cities.”21．How does the air-cleaning machine offer clean air to the biker?A．By blowing out dirty air.B．By running fast by bike.C．By cleaning the air around the biker.D．By breathing in the dirty air and cleaning it.22．Why is Daan inviting bikers to join him?A．To help solve the air pollution problem.B．To make more Chinese friends.C．To raise money for the tower.D．To test his new machine.23．What is the best title(标题) for the text?A．Biking for Fresh AirB．Breathing in and outC．Survey from the GovernmentD．China’s Air Pollution ProblemIn most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.Here are some things students often do. No-rubbish lunches. How much do you throw away alter lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in boxes that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least rubbish and report them to the whole school! No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car, not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run. Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty million tons of water a halt hour? In a year, that will fill a small river!

When learning a language, it is important to learn rules of polite speech of the culture in which that language is spoken.In spoken English, indirect questions are generally considered more formal (正式的) and polite than direct questions. Indirect questions are questions with extra (额外的) words and phrases to make your questions softer and less demanding (强求的). Try using some of these phrases to create indirect questions, “Do you know…”, “Can/Could you tell me…”. When “Where is the bus stop? “ becomes “Do you know where the bus stop is?”, it sounds much more polite.It is said that it is easy to recognize (辨别) an impolite question when you’re the person being asked the question, but not so easy when you’re the one asking the question. What makes a question impolite? Most people would consider a question impolite if it’s asking them for information that they don’t really want to disclose to others. For example, in many cultures, it is not polite to ask questions about money. “How much money do you get every month?” is not good. When unsure, it is best to remember that, if you are meeting someone for the first time, or you don’t know a person very well yet, keep on the topics like sports, music, hobbies, or other general ones. Avoid topics which can be more personal to someone, such as money, family, age, health, politics, religion (宗教) .In the English language, “magic words” are very important in polite speech. “Please” is sometimes referred to as the “magic word”. When eating out in a restaurant, you’d better say “Check the bill, please.” instead of “Bring me the bill, waiter!” Another magic word (or phrase) is “thank you”. When using English to ask for things or information, it is therefore important to use the magic words “please” and “thank you”.Polite speech is always welcomed, so why not use it? Even if you haven’t used these polite words and phrases all your life, it’s never too late to start. Practice holding polite conversations with family and close friends until you’re comfortable. and it feels natural. Gradually, speaking politely will become second nature (天性) to you though it might seem so difficult to speak politely. Try to speak politely in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.29．If we want to make our questions more polite, we should ________ .A．speak louder to make everyone hear the questions clearlyB．make a good choice of proper places to ask the questionsC．ask questions directly with pleasant expressions on facesD．add extra words to the questions to make them sound softer30．The word “disclose” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A．look up B．make known C．pay attention D．keep away 31．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．It’s not easy for the listeners to find out the impolite questions.B．Some “magic words” play an important role in our polite speech.C．Personal topics have to be talked about when we meet a stranger.D．It isn’t necessary to practice polite conversations with our family.32．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To discuss the advantages of the polite speech.B．To teach us to use language in different situations.C．To encourage us to use polite speech in our life.D．To help us deal with the shyness when we speak.三、阅读还原5选5根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项. 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
