（2021·上海金山区·期末
Have you ever stayed in a hotel Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and so on. Many people like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables. They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic (塑料). People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000,000 kg of plastic bags and 1,320,000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down (腐烂). So the less plastic we throw out, the better our environment will be. Wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
(1) Why do many people like disposable things
(2) What did some hotels in Beijing do from June
(3) When do people throw away the disposable things
(4) How much waste does one Chinese person make one year
(5) How long does it take to break down the plastic
(6) What should we do to protect our environment

Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century. Recycling means using things again, and not wasting things like plastic, paper, and glass. But we could do more. It should not just be a popular thing to do.
The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a very small place with a lot of people in it. They do not want to share that small amount of space with rubbish. But even so, the Tokyo area alone is thought to have three million tons of rubbish right now.
In Japan, some cities give children recycled paper in return for collecting newspapers for recycling.
In Rockford, a city in Illinois, U. S., the government chooses one house each week and checks its rubbish. If the rubbish does not have any newspapers or metal drink cans, then that house gets a prize of at least $1,000.
In one year Britain recycles:
1 out of every 3 newspapers.
1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars.
1 out of every 4 shirts, trousers and other types of clothes.
In China, Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of rubbish to the mainland for recycling in 1999. And around 535,000 tons of rubbish were recycled in Hong Kong of China itself. Over half of the things we throw away could be recycled. That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.
However, recycling needs a lot of planning and special machines. Also, there is not much use for some recycled things. People need to think of more ways to use things they recycle.
(1) What does recycling mean
(2) Why are the Japanese good at recycling
(3) How much can a house get if his rubbish does not have any newspapers or metal drink cans
(4) Britain can recycle l out of every 4 glass bottles and jars, can't it
(5) Where did the Hong Kong transport 1.3 million tons of rubbish for recycling
(6) Give one more idea to recycle things.

For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer.
China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centres. This all makes the cities hotter.
It is not easy to change the situation (情形). City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. ‘Every new street should have trees on both sides,’ they say. Trees make the temperature (温度) lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. Also we should paint our roofs (屋顶) white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar (太阳的) roof panels (板). The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building.
People continue (继续) to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2050, 80% of the world's population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.

（2020·上海黄浦区·期末） Students in the US don't begin their spring break at the same time. It depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbours in the next town may have classes as usual.
You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and films. It's usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It's spring break—or "party time"!
Unlike our semester (学期), which starts in late February or early March this year. American schools, ranging from kindergartens to college, give students one to two weeks off school.
College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. They relax on the beach, enjoy cold drinks and get a tan (晒黑的肤色).
Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.
Having a "staycation", which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend. You can visit local art galleries, museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.
For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.
There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of playing, they choose to do community service, help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work.
No matter how they've spent the break, one thing is for true—students return to school feeling refreshed (恢复活力的) and ready to finish the school year.
(1) Do students in the US begin their spring break at a different time
(2) How long does the spring break last
(3) Where do the college students often go during the spring break
(4) What do students do if they choose to have a "staycation"
(5) What can students do if they want a different kind of spring break experience
(6) If you have a spring break, how will you spend it Why
（2019·上海黄浦区·期末） As we all know, to protect the earth, we must save energy. Students in Beijing Xicheng Foreign Language School share their opinions on how to reduce the unnecessary waste in daily life.
Wang Shen, 12:
Waste happens everywhere. Yesterday evening I went back to the classroom again to get my pencil box. But I found the lights in the classroom were still on. It just wastes too much electricity. I think we should remind the last person who leaves the classroom to turn the lights off.

We use and waste water every day. In the past I often left the water running when I washed my face or brushed my teeth. Mom told me that it wasted too much water. She also said that we could grow plants with the water we used. It is a really good way to save water.
Pan jiachen, 13:
Paper is important in our daily lives. But most pearple do not make full use of it. In my dad's office, many people only print on one side of printing paper. They don't use the other side. I think if they save paper, they will protect a lot of trees.

（2019·上海徐汇区·模拟） It’s a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The light is slowly fading, but all over Britain people are working in their gardens. They’re digging, cutting leaves and planting new weeds. By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colors.
The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Seventy percent of people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over half of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.
Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. You can, of course, just grow house plants inside or on your balcony.
Once it was only the very wealthy who had a garden. You can still see the huge gardens that surround historic houses such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. Ordinary people used their land to produce food to eat or sell, or grew herbs to make medicine.
In the nineteenth century, however, gardening became a hobby. About the same time, better transport meant people could buy different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers, onions and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they grew wild in other countries before.
In many villages and towns there are competitions for the best looked-after gardens. This year the winner was a little village in Northern Ireland. It’s already won four prizes for its beauty. People also take part in competitions to grow the largest vegetables, but don’t expect to win. Britain’s biggest carrot is almost six meters long!

(1) Most of the British love to spend time in _____.
A．fishing B．hunting C．gardening D．farming

（2020·上海黄浦区·期末） Students in the US don't begin their spring break at the same time. It depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbours in the next town may have classes as usual.
You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and films. It's usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It's spring break—or "party time"!
Unlike our semester (学期), which starts in late February or early March this year. American schools, ranging from kindergartens to college, give students one to two weeks off school.
College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. They relax on the beach, enjoy cold drinks and get a tan (晒黑的肤色).
Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.
Having a "staycation", which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend. You can visit local art galleries, museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.
For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.
There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of playing, they choose to do community service, help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work.
No matter how they've spent the break, one thing is for true—students return to school feeling refreshed (恢复活力的) and ready to finish the school year.
(1) Do students in the US begin their spring break at a different time
(2) How long does the spring break last
(3) Where do the college students often go during the spring break
(4) What do students do if they choose to have a "staycation"
(5) What can students do if they want a different kind of spring break experience
(6) If you have a spring break, how will you spend it Why

（2019·上海徐汇区·模拟） It’s a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The light is slowly fading, but all over Britain people are working in their gardens. They’re digging, cutting leaves and planting new weeds. By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colors.
The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Seventy percent of people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over half of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.
Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. You can, of course, just grow house plants inside or on your balcony.
Once it was only the very wealthy who had a garden. You can still see the huge gardens that surround historic houses such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. Ordinary people used their land to produce food to eat or sell, or grew herbs to make medicine.
In the nineteenth century, however, gardening became a hobby. About the same time, better transport meant people could buy different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers, onions and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they grew wild in other countries before.
In many villages and towns there are competitions for the best looked-after gardens. This year the winner was a little village in Northern Ireland. It’s already won four prizes for its beauty. People also take part in competitions to grow the largest vegetables, but don’t expect to win. Britain’s biggest carrot is almost six meters long!
