A
Green is an important colour in nature. It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the colour of most growing plants too.
Sometimes, green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was soldier who had not yet had any experience in war. In the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, "greenhorn" was a popular expression in the west of America. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the biggest city in the East. The greenhorn didn't have the skills that he would need to live in the hard and rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have "a green thumb". The expression came from the early 1900s.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution(革命)is a name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural(农业的)scientists who had green thumbs.
( )1. According to the passage, a greenhorn means now.
A. a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
B. a soldier who has not had any experience in war
C. a person who is new in a job
D. a man who doesn't have the skills to live in the country
( )2. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “ripe" in the second paragraph is “ ”.
A.未完成的 B.成熟的 C.青涩的 D.老练的
( )3. Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right
A. If there wasn't the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.
B. The expression "the Green Revolution" appeared several years ago.
C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.
( )4. We can know from the passage that .
A. all growing plants are green
B. green is the most important colour in nature
C. a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
D. the expression "a green thumb" has a history of two hundred years
(B)
“Who did this ” asked my teacher. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (故意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me
If I admitted (承认) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that “My father is going to get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
“I did it” I said. Then I was silent.
My teacher went to our bookshelf and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I was afraid that she was going to start with me.
“ I know how you like birds,” she said as she looked down at my face. “Here is the guide about birds that you always checked out from our school library. it is yours now. we have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished. But remember, it’s only for your honesty (诚实).”
I could not believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird guide, the one I had been saving up all my money to buy.

根据材料内容,用正确的信息完成表格,每空一词。
Many large cities are not so beautiful. There is a lot of rubbish in the streets. However, some of the rubbish can be useful. If people want to solve the problem, they should do it right now. They must take action to make use of rubbish. In this way, some good things will not be thrown away as waste.
When a car gets too old, it may not run any more. But if the metal (金属) that the car was made of is still good, we can use it to make something else. When a bottle is empty, it will be thrown away. But the bottle glass can be made into sand and used to build streets. Rubbish from food can be changed into fertilizer (肥料). It is cheap and safe. Other rubbish can also be used to make buildings. It can be mixed with concrete (混凝土) to form special bricks. Now, more and more machines are designed for that.
Some day, people will watch films in a beautiful cinema which is built out of rubbish. Besides, in the future, buildings, roads, and cities may be made from rubbish. But so far, it is only a dream to build beautiful cities out of rubbish.
A dream of (1)________the rubbish
(2)_______for making use of rubbish ◆The street is (3)________of rubbish. ◆Some of the rubbish can be (4)_______again.
(5)__________of making use of rubbish ◆The metal of old (6)______ can be used to make something else. ◆The bottle glass can be made into (7) ______and used to build streets. ◆Rubbish from (8)_______can be turned into fertilizer. ◆Other rubbish can be used to (9)______special bricks to make buildings.
