四、阅读理解。(2013，嘉兴、舟山)

Imagine a world where air pollution is no longer a problem.Clean air is all around us.People don't have to worry about polluting the air every time they drive their cars.They no longer need to face the problem of not having enough fuel either.

Although scientists have been trying for many years to develop a new kind of car that does not need gasoline (汽油)，they have been unsuccessful.Recently，however，car engineers have succeeded in creating a new kind of car that runs on gasoline and electricity.This is the famous “hybrid car”.This car gets its name from the fact that it has a gasoline engine (引擎) and an electric motor inside.Hybrid cars do not pollute the environment as much as the cars that are commonly used today.They also cost drivers less money because they need less fuel than ordinary cars.

Hybrid cars are becoming widely popular in the United States.They are soon expected to become widely used around the world.If scientists and engineers continue to work on car development，perhaps the world with clean air that we imagined earlier just might become real in the future.

My Ideal School Life

I am a student in Grade 9，]everyone has their own ideal school life.I think my ideal school life is meaningful and colorful.I'm very happy to study in the school.

We have five classes every day.I like all the lessons，because they are very interesting.And we can choose our favorite lessons to learn.At noon，we have an hour's rest time.During the rest time，we can chat with classmates.

I hope our after­school activities are rich and colourful.We can play many ball games after school every day.There are many organizations and clubs in our school I would like to join.

Doing homework is part of the school life，but the work is not much，and very easy.During my holidays，I want to be a volunteer to help others in need.

This is my ideal school life. I hope my dream will come true some day.
