41、dates, as Monday 21 May saw the start of Walk to School week. The national event was held at a school in Lambeth. Lots of people gathered around a very big globe, the size of which shows the volume(体积) of carbon dioxide produced by a school bus every week. Similar events were held at schools through
42、out the country, making sure the message gets out all over Britain. And it is not just about the climate-change-causing carbon dioxide. As for local air pollution, the school bus is one of the worst offenders. Its those short, stop-start journeys which are the most polluting giving out carbon dioxid
43、e and other compounds that are linked to worsening air quality. Contrary to what some might believe, staying in a car offers no protection from local pollution in fact pollution found inside the car is about three times higher than that experienced by walkers. The organizers ask people to leave thos
44、e keys by the door and walk to school and judging by the number of schools involved(参与) this year its the schoolchildren that will be leading the way. Andrew Fielding, one of Walk to School organizers, said, “Were encouraging people around the country to use Walk to School week to try out walking wi
45、th their kids. Walking to school isnt just great for the environment, its great for you too walking for those 30 minutes a day means real quality time together, and the average walk there and back will burn more calories(卡路里) than those burn in the schools PE. Give it a go and see how you find it, a

48、C. they had to get rid of the large amount of carbon dioxide which was kept in the globeD. the globe made people realize the amount of carbon dioxide produced by a school bus 66. From the last paragraph, we can infer that_.A. people would rather go back to the traffic jamsB. more and more people wil
49、l enjoy walking to schoolC. the schools PE may be replaced during Walk to School week D. many parents are using Walk to School week to walk with their kidsD If there is one thing Im sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are
50、a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit . ks5u The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our livesthe big politica
51、l stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be
52、 more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain works and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own ho
53、me. In fact, Im pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news, ect.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the diff
54、erent media(媒体). You actually feed off each other. Some people once said that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, its never really pleasant to read so
55、mething just on a screen.67. In the writers opinion, in the future_ .A. more big political stories, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV68. What will pr
56、obably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in.69.

As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of
69、us are lazy and dont work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers. In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to
70、get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. Whats more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations. ks5u附听力材料(Text 1)W: Would you like to go dancing tomorrow night?M: Let me see.
