江苏省泰兴市20xx-20xx学年八年级英语下学期期末考试试题内容摘要：

this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky. Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grownups(成年人 ) each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that. Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be thrilling(令人兴奋的 ) for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky. 61. Brocky is________.

Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road? On April 5, the State Council (国务院 ) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are stricter than the old ones. Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students go to nearby schools or boarding (寄 宿的 ) schools to reduce traffic risks. Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses. From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80 km/h on highways and 60km/h on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first. The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的 ). There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult(成年人 ) to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器 ), a first aid kit (急救箱 ) and a GPS. 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. The most serious accident happened in Gansu in November, when a nineseat minibus crashed.
