三、阅读单选（8分）
Did you hear of dodos (渡渡鸟) The dodo was a kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily until people arrived. Sailors (水手) from Europe found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island (毛里求斯岛) in the Indian Ocean.
When the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The people from Europe on Mauritius Island ate the birds and cut down the trees. The animals they brought with them ate the eggs and the young. So no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Unfortunately, they died out at last. Later, the samples (标本) of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the future study.
It’s said that people killed all the dodos. This was how the words “as dead as a dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get along with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.
26．Why did the sailors feel surprised when they saw dodos
A．Because the dodo was a kind of bird that could not fly.
B．Because dodos could be delicious food for them.
C．Because dodos were quite large.
D．Because dodos could be used for future study.
27．What is the right order about dodos
a. All the dodos died out.
b. Sailors room Europe found dodos on Mauritius Island.
c. The animals ate the eggs and the young of dodos.
d. The samples of some dodos were brought to England for study.
A．b-a-c-d B．d-c-b-a C．b-c-d-a D．b-c-a-d
28．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage
A．Dodos could not fly. B．We should protect animals.
C．The dodo was a kind of chicken. D．No living dodos were found.

With the development of economy, more and more people can afford to buy cars. More and more private cars have brought great influence to our life.
On one hand, private cars have many advantages. As we know, people can save time. They don’t need to spend much time waiting for the bus. Moreover, private cars make it easier for people to travel. They can enjoy the beautiful view along the road.
Every coin has two sides. On the other hand, private cars also have a lot of disadvantages. First, the number of private cars is becoming larger. They waste too much energy. At the same time, they pollute the environment. Second, more accidents have happened. Because of the drivers’ carelessness, many people lost their lives.
In my opinion, we should use private cars properly. When we drive, we must be more careful. If we go somewhere not far, we had better take the bus or the subway instead of driving.
