Her backpack came ff her shulders and nt the flr. “What’s wrng, little sis?” Thmas asked. “Everything,” Simne said, “I can’t d anything right.”
Thmas turned t Simne. “Nw I knw that’s nt true. Yu just gt secnd place at the schl histry fair, and Mm and Dad didn’t even help yu with yur prject. I’d say that was ding smething right.”

“What part did yu get?” Thmas asked.
“The secnd best part, f curse. When is it ging t be my turn t be the best at smething?”

The drbell rang, and Thmas gt up t answer it.
“Hi, Sheri. Cngratulatins n getting the lead in the play.”
“Thanks,” Sheri said, but she didn’t lk happy. She walked int the living rm and sat dwn next t Simne. “I have t tell yu smething. I saw yur auditin (试镜). Yu’re a natural actress, Simne. I was wrried yu were ging t get the lead, and

Have yu heard f a bike bus? It carries a grup f children t schl in the same way a schl bus des, except everyne is n bikes. The “bus driver”—an adult n a bike—guides a slwly mving grup alng a rute (路线) that has already been chsen. Kids and their parents jin the grup n their wn bikes when the grup rides by.
Bike buses are a way fr everyne t bike tgether fr fun, cnvenience and safety. On busy streets, a big grup f five t ten kids is much mre visible (明显的) than ne r tw kids biking alne.
Sam Balt is a PE teacher. He leads a bike bus t schl. His bus is especially visible because it has hundreds f shuting kids and parents. It stretches ut ver several blcks (街区). Sam vlgs his bike bus trip. As the parent f tw kids, I can’t watch his vides withut crying. The bike bus calms my fear that the kids will get
hurt n the rad. Laughing kids! Outside, in persn! Tgether! S when a friend asked if I wuld lead a bike bus in ur neighbrhd, f curse I said yes.
Using active transprtatin t g t wrk and schl—whether that’s a biking bus, r even a walking bus—has many advantages. Yes, peple are healthier and happier when they’re mre active, but reducing the number f cars arund a schl can als reduce heavy traffic and air pllutin.
I was shcked by what starting r driving a bike bus meant t different peple. Fr Luke Brnheimer, the leader f the San Francisc Bike Bus, it’s amazing t see
children take care f themselves. “Kids are really smart and strng.” Brnheimer says. “They get hw t ride respnsibly (负责任地) and have fun. We’re just giving them that chance.” Fr me, the bike bus was the start f rejining my cmmunity.
My kids lve the bike bus, but we parents might lve it even mre. We talk abut everything, frm the bike bus t ther tpics, such as planning neighbrhd rller skating meetups and party nights.
I d accept that getting mre kids t safely bike and walk in mre places will take a lt mre wrk than parents just trying t get their kids t schl every day. But ur effrts are a start. We live n a planet that has many envirnmental
prblems. Maybe the best way t remind urselves that we and the Earth are wrth ( 值得的) prtecting is by mving thrugh it, nt in cars, but with fresh air n ur faces and the sunds f kids’ laughter eching in ur ears.
Accrding t the passage, a bike bus is .
a special bus that parents take t g t their wrkplace
a schl bus with parents riding bikes as guides in frnt
a fun game fr children as they’re n their way t schl
a way fr children t ride t schl with a “driver” n a bike
Why did the writer want t lead a bike bus?
She culdn’t stand her kids shuting.
She decided t d smething fr the schl.
She liked hw it kept children safe n the rad.
She thught cycling was a ppular utdr activity.
What can we learn frm the passage?
The writer is the leader f her neighbrhd activities.
Different peple started the bike bus in different ways.
Bike buses ffer kids chances t be respnsible n the rad.
The writer started riding a bike because f the heavy traffic.
What is the writer’s purpse f writing the passage?
T intrduce the gd and bad pints f active transprtatin.
T invite sme experienced bus drivers t be bike bus leaders.
T advise the lcal gvernment t ffer mre public services fr kids.
T ask peple t help kids and the envirnment by starting bike buses.

六、阅读短⽂，根据短⽂内容回答问题。（共 8 分，每⼩题 2 分） Can a cricket really tell yu the temperature utside? D fish
knw if it’s ging t be a cld winter? Yu’ve prbably heard stries abut animals that can predict ( 预测) the weather. Sme f the sayings, like, “if a cat sits with its back t the fire, hard weather can
wlf
be expected” may sund silly r unbelievable, but sme are based n animals that seem t sense (感觉到) mre abut ur envirnment than we d.
D animals tell us when a strm is cming? Birds react t the drp in air pressure ( ⽓压) befre a strm by flying lw, and nt flying at all an hur r s befre the strm hits. Other animals
behave strangely befre a strm t. Insects stay clse t the grund and wlves hwl (嚎叫) because their ears can sense the pressure change.
Befre a hurricane, sharks will run away frm the path f the strm, althugh they hardly ever leave their hme waters. Seabirds als knw they shuld fly inland.
While nt really “weather,” earthquakes are als smething that animals can predict. Yu may have heard stries abut animals and earthquakes: many are far mre sensitive t earthquakes than humans. Unusual animal behavir smetimes can tell us what is abut t happen. After the 2005 tsunami in Sri Lanka, it was reprted that very few animals were killed. Many f them were als acting strangely the day befre the tsunami hit. It seems that they knew smething was cming and ran t safety. A gd rule is, if the animals are running away, yu prbably shuld t.
The sund f crickets chirping ( 鸣叫) can tell yu summer is near, but d yu
knw that it can als tell yu hw ht it is? Crickets are cld-blded s when the temperature in the air changes, the
cricket’s bdy temperature changes with it. As the temperature rises, the cricket’s metablism (新陈代谢) increases. When the heat rises, crickets chirp. T get the exact temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (℉), cunt the number f chirps in 14 secnds, and add 40.
D yu have a tried and true weather animal that predicts the weather?
Can wlves predict a strm?
What will sharks d befre a hurricane?
Hw can we knw the exact temperature frm a cricket?
Why can animals predict the weather?

The Traveler’s Take
D translatin apps break dwn barriers (障碍) r put up new nes?
A few years ag, while I was n a cycling trip in Brazil, I fell ff my bike. I was a little hurt, but my bike was badly
brken. It lked like I was in fr a difficult day. I needed t fix the bike. I had seen a huse a few minutes befre, s I picked up my bike and started walking.
The language barrier was a prblem. I culd nly say “please” and “thank yu” in Prtuguese ( 葡萄⽛语) and I had n idea hw t explain what happened. Then I remembered my translatin app! I spent abut 20 minutes n the side f the rad tapping ut (打出) the stry and sme requests fr different things. I knew it wuldn’t be perfect, but at least it wuld tell peple the basics. I came t the huse, app in
hand and kncked n the dr.
Befre I culd press PLAY n my carefully made greeting, the elderly wman wh answered the dr was n the jb. One lk at me, my brken bicycle, my dirty knees and trn shirt, that translatin app was abut as useful as air cnditining n a mtrcycle.
Five minutes later, I was sitting in the yard with my leg n a chair, clean and bandaged (包好绷带). Maria (the elderly wman), her husband Gustav, their sn and daughter, tw f their grandchildren, and a grup f neighbrs had appeared frm
nwhere, and my accident was quickly becming a party. Gustav and a neighbr were enjying a heated debate abut the best way t fix my bicycle and the smell f fd started t fill the air. A bike accident is usually a bad thing. But by the time Maria and her sn left me at my htel that night, with a full stmach and a shiny, clean, fully fixed bicycle, I felt like the luckiest man in the wrld.
Translatin apps have their place and are very useful. I think frm nw n, thugh, I’m ging t use that app fr wrk r maybe in stres when I travel and need t buy smething. When it cmes t peple, I’ll take the risk.
I wn’t catch the stry details, and I’ll misunderstand instructins nw and again.
I’ll surely have truble with jkes, but humr usually desn’t translate, even if yur app gives yu all the right wrds. I’ll get surprises, maybe sme bad nes but mstly gd nes. I’ll get t act things ut and lk silly ding it, and I’ll get t slve the puzzle f what smene else is trying t tell me. I’ll get gestures, laughter, attentin, and the kindness f strangers.
Language barrier? What language barrier?
What prblems did the writer have when he was in Brazil?
What things did Maria and her family d t make the writer feel like the luckiest
man in the wrld?
What is the writer’s idea abut translatin apps? D yu agree? Why r why nt?

My unfrgettable mment f 2023 was when I had a snwball fight with my classmates. In December, there was a heavy snwfall in Beijing. The whle schl was blanketed in white. As sn as we had a break, we rushed ut f the building, made snwballs and then threw them at ne anther. It was really fun!

九、选做题
He had a bike accident in Brazil. He was hurt and his bike was brken, but he culdn’t ask fr help because f language barrier.
Maria and her family bandaged his leg up, fixed his bike and cked dishes fr him and then sent him t the htel.
(答案不唯一，以下仅供参考)
The writer thinks translatin apps have their place and are very useful fr wrk r in stres when travelling abrad, but when it cmes t peple, he will take the risk and cmmunicate with peple by himself. I agree with him. Because I can get laughter, attentin and the kindness f strangers by acting things ut. (Because the nnverbal interactin with the strangers will make the trip mre enjyable./Because the real cmmunicatin between peple can't be replaced by translatin apps. )
