三、阅读理解
(A)
June 5 is World Environment Day. This makes us pay more attention to our environment.
Wang Jun is a high school boy in our school. When he uses up his exercise books, he does not throw them away. He collects them. He also encourages other students to collect their used exercise books. Then they store and sell them to a paper making factory.
The paper is recycled and used again by students and teachers in the school. At the same time, the money from the sales goes to schools in Inner Mongolia for planting trees and grass. Inner Mongolia is one of the sources (源头) of the sandstorms that often attack Beijing during springtime.
Our school is one of the schools in the city that take part in the “green promise (承诺)” environmental protection activity. So far, nearly 210,000 students have taken part in the activity. They have collected more than 87 tons (吨) of waste paper.
“There have been more environment problems in many parts of China these years, such as haze (雾霾) and sandstorms,” said Wang. “We should do our duty and encourage others to do so as well.”
( )1. The environmental protection activity in the city asks the students to ________.

(B)
It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智地).A larger number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we will not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.
Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example, you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(压平)and melted(融化)and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.
Recover(恢复)
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的)apples, you have two choices(选择): one is to throw the whole apples away, or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way, you are recovering the eatable(能吃的) parts of food.
Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
( )6.The“reduce”rule mainly wants us ___________________.
A. to use things wisely B. to cut down many trees
C. to use a lot of paper D. to throw away your old things
( )7. What’s the right order of recycling Coke cans
a. collect the used cans b. melt them c. smash them flat d. send them to a factory
A. a b c d B. a d c b C. d b c a D. c a b d
( )8.The “recover”rule mainly wants us___________________
A.to throw waste things away. B.to cover waste things with earth.
C.to get back the useful parts D.to throw the whole things away.
( )9. Which is the best way to do with your broken tables

Zane Busby got her start in Hollywood as an actress, appearing in films and television series. Then she became a director of television comedies.
But curiosity attracted her to another part of the world. In 2001, she decided to visit the towns where her grandparents had lived in Belarus and Lithuania. On her way, she stopped in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, where she met Dovid Katz, research director at the Yiddish Institute of Vilnius University.

What began as a personal effort grew into a charity called the Survivor Mitzvah Project - mitzvah being the Hebrew word for good deed.
Busby says many recipients have survived years of hardship. The oldest lived through World War I as children, survived famine in the 1930s, when many people died of hunger, and the Nazi killing squads of World War II. Some were arrested in Soviet times and spent time in gulags, forced labor camps.

It's very important that we all recycle. In nature, everything is used again. For example, when an animal dies, it becomes a 1 animal's food. Nothing is w 2 .

We use up our natural materials much faster than the Earth is able to reproduce them. For example, each year we cut down more than 6, 000 square miles of forest.

Recycling can help us save the Earth, so let's take action right now.

common. Our world has become very global(全球性的) and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is quite a difficult language to learn and it brings its culture with it. (4)
Scientists have already tried to create an artificial(人造的) language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn't become popular. But maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. (5)
