New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work or school In New York you can travel by subway, bus, taxi and private car.
The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city. The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It is a slower way to travel. This is because the traffic is very heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to the very place you want to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow, too.
During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work. The last way to get around New York is using your own private car. It is inconvenient(不方便的)because you will perhaps be driving during the “rush hour”. The best time to travel around the city is from 9 am to 4 pm, because it isn’t the “rush hour”.

A city without cars would be very strange, right But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Sea water is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways are always the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges. They can guide you where to go. People in Venice often move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such different experiences. They may walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone needs to wear rain
shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising sea water. The temperature rises over the years. This makes some ice of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋) melt. Every year, the city meets the problem of high waters in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is under-water.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government(政府) asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to work together. They made some plans to stop the rising water. Anyway, these plans are helping solve the problem.
6. There are ________ waterways in Venice.
A. 110 B. 117 C. 230 D. 400
7. What does the underline word “melt”in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese

8. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Venice is in the southeast of Italy.
B. It is very difficult for people to travel in Venice.
C. People in Venice often go somewhere by car.

A. Venice is sure to stop getting lower.
B. High water won’t be a problem for Venice any more.
C. Scientists can solve the problem easily.
D. The government tries to help solve the rising water.
10. What can be the best title of the passage
A. The Places of Interest of Venice B. The History of Venice
C. The Special Things and Problems of Venice D. The Ways of Getting Around Venice

At 5 a.m. that day, we started our trip by bus at a bus station. After two hours, the beach was in front of us. It’s said that it is 750m long, with the beautiful sea. The bright sunlight shone(照射) on the yellow sand. We couldn’t wait to run to the blue sea and then had fun swimming in it. After that, we started to build sand houses, listened to the sounds of the water, and enjoyed some special foods.
In the afternoon, we rented the bikes and rode around the beach at first. The wonderful beach has the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. It really made us forget everything. And then we climbed to the TaoPhung Mountain. It is very beautiful. And on it, we could see the sea, the whole beach and lots of people on the beach. Great! We took many photos on it.
