C(真题·绍兴嵊州)
Singapore is one of the cleanest countries in the world and attracts a large number of people around the world every year. People in the country have many strict rules in public. These rules make sure that streets are clean and parks look nice. Now, we've listed the "Dos and Don'ts" in Singapore.
There are many things you must do in Singapore. When using the escalator(自动扶梯) in Singapore, you must stand on the left and walk on the right. This allows those people who want to walk up to go around you easily. Singapore also provides bike-riding roads and walking roads, so you must make sure you walk on the right roads. This keeps everyone much safer. And cash(现金) is welcomed in Singapore, many shops in the neighbourhood hope customers to pay in cash, so having enough cash in hand is important.
Also, you must bring a bottle if you want to drink water, because you can get tap water(自来水) easily in Singapore. The water is carefully tested, so it's safe to drink straight from the tap. Bottled water is widely available but it's quite expensive, while tap water is gratis.
However, there are some things that you can't do. In Singapore, for example, the sale of chewing gum (口香糖) is not allowed. You cannot even bring gum with you. To keep public transportation clean, eating and drinking on trains and buses are not allowed, as it can make the seats and floors dirty. You can't play loud music or talk loudly on your phone either, since it might make other passengers angry.
People in Singapore take their rules very seriously, which makes their country clean and enjoyable for people from around the world.

D(真题·绍兴嵊州)
A new report by The Rivers Trust (an organisation that protects rivers in the UK and Ireland) shows that many rivers are not in good health. But you can help by watching rivers. The group started its new project, Big River Watch, on 6th September, 2024, in the UK and Ireland. It uses technology like smartphone apps to help scientists do better research.
It is important for The Rivers Trust to collect useful information about rivers. This helps them know how dirty the rivers are and what problems they have. It's even better if more people join it. That's because people can check different river areas. Then, scientists can get more information from many places, not just from a few rivers. With more information, they can better understand the real situation of the rivers. So, everyone's help is important because it makes the information about rivers more complete(完整的). This helps scientists make better decisions to protect our rivers.
To join it, you need to download(下载) the free Big River Watch app on your phone at first. Then choose a river, pick a place on the riverside and watch it carefully for 15 minutes. At last, through the app you can send information about the things that you notice in or along the river, like animals, water speed, and pollution.
Experts at The Rivers Trust will study the results and share the information with other organisations. With the results, the government can make much more useful plans of action, and the scientists will find right places for rubbish picks or river clean-ups. And you will know the importance of protecting the rivers by joining Big River Watch.
()27. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

B. The rivers.

()28. What is the right order of joining the Big River Watch programme from Paragraph 3?
