4．A subway is not just an important form of transport．It is also a window for other people to learn about local culture．
Beijing，China
The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China．It has added some modern technologies．All stations now have touch-screen maps．In some stations，people can also see traditional Chinese culture．For example，on the walls of a few stations of Line 8，there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain（青花瓷）．

London，UK
The London Undergound or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world．It was opened in 1863．During World War II，it was used to protect people form German plane attacks（襲擊）on London．Now，it is a symbol of the city．There is no air conditioning in the trains，so it is very hot in summer．

3．Give water，save lives
　　A bottle of water may not seem like much to you，but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit（遭受旱災(zāi)） areas in China．
  　Since last autumn，there has been very little rain in Southwest China．Some places，especially in Yunnan．Guangxi，Sichuan，Guizhou，have experienced a serious drought．Crops （莊稼） died，the land cracked，and wells （井） and rivers dried up．More than 20million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water．
  After learning about the drought，many people around the country helped by giving water，money and other things．
  Last week，every member of the Communist Youth League （共青團員） and Young Pioneers（少先隊員） were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas．Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity．In Yuhua Primary School in Xi'an，900students bought over 1，000bottles of water with their pocket money．They also wrote their wishes on the bottles．
  The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water．
  Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities．
"I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don't have enough drinking water．They have to drink muddy （ 含有泥土的 ） water．I feel really sad about that，"said one student．"I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water．"he said．

64．Why did a serious drought happen in Southwest China？Because there has been very little rain since last autumn．
65．What does the underlined （劃線的） word"cracked"probably mean in Chinese？裂開、裂縫
66．What did people do after learning about the drought？They helped by giving water，money and other things．
67．Is a bottle of water helpful for the people in drought-hit areas？No，but thousands will．
68．What can you learn from the passage？It's time for us to save water．．

2．At present，air pollution may be the greatest problem and people all over the world pay attention to it．The Chinese government has done a lot to deal with it．One of them is to produce electric vehicles（機動車），especially electric cars．China plans to put at least half a million electric cars on the road by 2015．
  Electric cars are hard to sell．Even with the help of the government，there are still many problems．So it isn't easy to get more people to use electric cars．One reason is that the electric car is very expensive．A Shenzhen driver said that an electric car cost 80percent more than the Santana（桑塔納）．Another reason is that we haven't built enough charging stations（充電站）．Sometimes when an electric car uses up its electricity，it can not work at all．Finally，when there is something wrong with electric cars，drivers can not find shops to repair them easily．
  Besides China，the United States，Japan and Germany also do their best to create electric vehicles．But China has done more than them．
52．Why does the Chinese government want to use electric cars？A
A．Because they are good for the environment．
B．Because they are very safe．
C．Because they are very expensive．
D．Because they can carry more people．
53．People prefer to use other vehicles than using electric cars becauseD
A．they can make more money
B．they are more beautiful
C．they can run faster
D．they are cheaper

A.56，000yuan     B.126，000yuan     C.80，000yuan      D.50，000yuan
55．There areB reasons why electric cars are difficult to sell in the passage．

56．Which country is not mentioned in the passage？It'sC．
A．Germany     B．the USA     C．France      D．Japan．
