Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today.”, “You are yellow.”, “He has a green thumb.”, “He has told a white lie.” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help.

Mary: Mrs James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?

Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?

Mrs James: Certainly. Now I just give you some bread. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.

Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.

Mrs James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.

“Dickon!” Mary said suddenly. “I have an idea. Come and see Colin tomorrow! And bring Soot and Captain and the squirrels, too! He wants to meet you. And he wants to see your animals.”

Dickon thought it was a very good idea, so Mary went back to the house to tell Colin. He was happy to see her.

“I’m sorry I shouted at you last night, Mary,” he said. “Tell me about Dickon and the crow and the fox cub,” he said.

In Spain, children and their families are riding bikes to school together in large groups. The program is called bike bus.

Then, how did it begin? In Barcelona, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays. Soon the group grew to 150 or more.

What’s it like? The bike bus begins around 8:25 every Friday morning. The path it follows is always posted before it starts, so everyone knows where to join. Instead of riding in bike lanes (车道), the bike bus takes over the whole street. The trip lasts for about 25 minutes. And with the growing cycling and skating kids taking part in this bike bus culture, the local police are helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bike bus or behind it. This further makes the parents happy because they don’t have to worry about their children’s safety on the road. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bike bus feels like a party. “The best part of the bike bus is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together,” nine-year-old Maria says.

How does it change people’s life? Some parents have made the bike bus the way they get to work on Friday. They are hoping that the bike bus will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city. They want the city to build wider, kid-friendly bike lanes that are separated from car traffic. They point out that the bike bus also helps cut down on pollution.

Now, the bike bus is getting more and more attention. Many people think it’s a great activity and decide to join it. 

62. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us _______.    

A. what the bike bus is      B. who started the bike bus first

C. why children like the bike bus    D. how the bike bus is organized   

63. What can we know about the bike bus?

A. Parents help stop traffic.     B. People can join it every day.

C. Children ride in bike lanes.     D. The trip takes about 25 minutes.

64. From the words of Maria, we can infer that children _______.

A. are afraid of riding at first     B. care about road safety 

C. ride to make parents happy     D. like riding with friends

65. How does the writer organize the whole passage?

A.       B. C.    D. 

第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr Gibbs. He was kind.    66    He wished to make it a forest.

Dr Gibbs had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his young trees at first. Once I asked him why, he said, “    67    If you don’t, they will have to grow deep roots (根) to look for water under the earth on their own.”

He planted some oak trees. Instead of watering them every morning, he beat them with newspapers.    68  

Dr Gibbs died two years after I left home. I always walked by his house and looked at the trees he planted 25 years ago. They became big and strong.

I also planted two trees several years ago.    69    I watered them every day to protect them from the hot weather. However, after two years of close caring, when a cold wind blew in, they shook a lot.

Life is hard. We need to grow our own roots.    70    When the rain falls and the wind blows, we can face them strongly and won’t be beaten down.
