Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.

Have you ever seen a train that is hung in the air? Such a train has appeared in Chengdu already.

The train is powered by lithium batteries (锂电池) instead of electricity. It is not only energy-saving but also environmentally friendly compared to other trains. Each coach (车厢) will be able to carry up to 120 passengers.

The train has done its test without any problem a short time ago. But further tests will be done to check the train’s ability to turn and climb up the tracks before it can be open to the public.

Chengdu is the first city in our country to build such a train system, and Shanghai will also open one this year. Shanghai started plans for its “Skytrain” in 2015.

The “Skytrain” in Shanghai will run above the ground at a height of around six meters. The columns (柱) which will support the railway will be just 80 cm wide. The columns are so narrow that they could even be built in the green belt in the middle of the road. The train Shanghai plans to use will have just four coaches, and each coach will hold 70 passengers. The train will run at around 30 kilometers per hour. It will be a little slower than the city’s subway trains, which run between 30 and 40 kilometers per hour.

“Skytrain” would cost about 120 to 150 million yuan to build. Developers said the train system will carry around 15, 000 passengers every hour. The space-saving train system would run silently through the city.

27. What test will be done?

A．The train’s largest speed.

B．The train’s ability to carry passengers.

C．The distance the train can run without stopping.

D．The train’s ability to turn and climb up the tracks.

28. How many passengers can such a train in Shanghai carry?

A．280.

B．420.

C．120.

D．70.

29. Compared to other trains, what are the advantages of this new kind of train?
①running very fast       ②saving energy       ③saving space       ④ little noise
⑤environmentally friendly       ⑥carrying more passengers

A．①②③④

B．②③④⑤

C．③④⑤⑥

D．①②⑤⑥

30. The passage mainly tells us ________.

A．the advantages of a new kind of train

B．the cost of building a new kind of train

C．a new kind of train and its development in China

D．the number of passengers that different kinds of trains can carry

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Our eyes have never been under as much strain (压力) as they are today. What can we do to keep our eyes healthy?

    31    . We usually open and close our eyes about 10 to 15 times a minute. When we work at a screen or read, we forget to blink enough. Not only does this lead to discomfort in our eyes, but also it makes us tired and can even cause headaches.

We spend hours staring at a computer, a smartphone or other screens, which overtire the eyes and can cause them to become dry and sore.     32    . Look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Just like the rest of our body, our eyes need fresh air too.     33    . During the winter, many offices are heated, which dries out the air. If you stay in such offices for a long time, you should remember to get fresh air out the room. Just give your eyes a rest.

Drink two to three liters of water every day to make sure that the eyes receive enough moisture (水分) they need. Getting enough sleep also makes our eyes feel better.     34    .

Get your eyes checked regularly (定期).     35    . There are suitable glasses for everyone, no matter what our needs are.

A．And choose glasses that suit your special needs

B．Be sure to blink (眨眼) your eyes often

C．It is important for students to protect their eyes

D．A walk outside can help relax overtired eyes

Everyone is busy looking for their own happiness, not caring what happens to others. But sometimes the     50     way to find happiness is to help others. Help them find happiness and you can find your own.”

阅读下面的语篇材料，根据所读内容，完成下列各题。

Have you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow? Well, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁).

Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco. As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours.

But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt, the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours.

If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing tougher and the colours will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos.

To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco-a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three-hour walk to the top. This is realy the best way, but it is very challenging. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5, 200 meters above the sea level. So bring enough water and take your time.
