三、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分20分）
A
Today is Monday. It is the beginning of spring. The sun shines almost every day. In the morning it is a little cold because the temperatures are low. Then later in the day, it is sunny and warm. So I have to wear a jacket in the morning and take it off when it gets warm. Sometimes it rains and I have to wear my raincoat. In spring my fingers and nose are always cold in the morning.
In winter it is very cold. It is snowy and rainy all the time. I have to wear a lot of clothes — my blue hat on my head, my black scarf around my neck, my red coat around my body and my thick white socks on my feet. Then I wear my black boots. I look like a bear with all these clothes. I hate it! It makes me look funny! But I am not cold.
Summer is the best season because it is hot and sunny. I only wear T-shirts and shorts. My T-shirts are in all colours. On my feet I wear my blue sandals (凉鞋) or white socks with my red and blue sports shoes. Then in autumn it gets cloudy and windy again, and I have to wear my coat or jacket again. I do not like it because later it is winter and I look like a bear again!

Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen (加强) the rules for school buses.

六、任务型阅读（每空1分，满分10分）
In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental proble ms. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the pas t, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping. Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about
￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
