「2026江苏常州实验初中月考」
How do you go to school every day? By bike
or on foot? Maybe you can try a new way—taking a “Bicycle School Bus”.
This kind of bus is powered by its passengers and driver. Thomas Tolkamp designed and made the bus. It is all about green life, sport and sharing. Many people like the idea. Why?
First, it’s interesting for kids to ride the bus together to school. Jessie, a 9-year-old girl, says, “I love the bicycle bus because I can talk with my friends. It’s full of fun. When I get to school, I don’t want to sleep in class.” Also, it is very safe. The bicycle bus has twelve seats(座位) for a driver and kids. Each one has a helmet(头盔) and a safety belt(安全带). Also, a roof(顶) can be added(添加) on the bus on hot or rainy days. Next, riding the bicycle bus is good for health. Peter, a fat boy, becomes a fan of the bus. “The bicycle bus is my favourite way to get to school. It makes me .” Lastly, the bicycle bus is good for the environment. It is more and more popular in countries like France. The use of the bicycle bus shows us that we can protect the earth in many ways.
回答下面的问题,每题答案不超过8个词。
20. How many people can the bicycle bus hold(容纳)?

21. Can students ride the bicycle bus on rainy days?

22. Fill in(填入) the “” with one word.

23. Why does the writer quote(引述) the two students’ words?

24. What do you think of taking a bicycle bus to school?

20.Twelve./12. 根据第三段中的“The bicycle bus has twelve seats for a driver and kids.”可知，自行校车可以乘载12人。
21.Yes, they can./Yes. 根据第三段中的“Also, a roof can be added on the bus on hot or rainy days.”可知，学生们在雨天可以乘坐自行校车。
22.Healthy. 上文提到“riding the bicycle bus is good for health”以及Peter的事例可推断，乘坐自行校车让他变得健康。
23.To show it's interesting and good for health. 根据文章内容可知，作者引述两位学生的话是为了体现坐自行校车既有趣又有益健康。
24.It's green and interesting./It's friendly to the environment. 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。

【解析】
20. 定位文章第三段“The bicycle bus has twelve seats for a driver and kids.”，可知自行校车可容纳12人，故答案为Twelve./12.
21. 定位文章第三段“Also, a roof can be added on the bus on hot or rainy days.”，说明雨天可添加车顶，学生能乘坐，故答案为Yes, they can./Yes.
