Her husband died, her children moved away, and many things happened. 9 , her dream to grow white marigolds stayed strong in her heart.

三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colourful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs of buildings in the city of Malm in Sweden.
Green roofs are not an invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modem city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.
Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate (节制;克制) the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the "urban heat-island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.
Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage (排水) system. ▲ And small animals, such as birds, can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something that completely separates from it.
While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block
1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain _____.
A. how wildlife is protected B. what a green roof is like
C. how to organize a good park D. what to do with a spare roof
2. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank " ▲ " in Paragraph 4
A. A green roof is alive. B. A green roof stops pollution.
C. A common roof is noisy. D. A common roof increases the cost.
3. The underlined word "separates" in Paragraph 4probably means in Chinese.
A. 阻止 B. 学习 C. 分离 D. 混合
4. The disadvantage (不足) of green roofs is that _____.
A. they are not pretty B. they can moderate the temperature
C. they can take in water D. they cost more than common roofs
5. The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. discover the problems with green roofs B. introduce the change of green roofs
C. show the amazing beauty of green roofs D. describe the advantages of green roofs
B
A large part of China experienced larger amounts of smog (雾霾) than usual and the air was badly polluted. The distance one could see was shorter than 1,000 meters in Beijing, Tianjin, and the provinces of Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Anhui. In some areas, it was down to 200 meters.
People usually set off firecrackers (爆竹) to celebrate the Spring Festival. But because of the smog, this year seemed very quiet. It was really different. A man called Zhang Wei said that his friends and he hadn't set off a single firecracker.
"We all suffered from last month's smog. If we don't call an end to the firecrackers, the environment will get worse and worse during the holiday." Said Zhang Wei. He called on more people to set off fewer firecrackers during this year's Spring Festival holiday by putting up a notice in his neighborhood.
More Chinese looked forward to celebrating the holiday in a greener way. They decided not to set off firecrackers. They also decided not to waste food. They said that the new celebrations sounded fashionable.
To clean the sky, more than ten provinces including Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu have started to use national 4 standard (标准), which is expected to reduce (减少) vehicle emission (车辆排放) by 30% to 50%.Beijing even has started to use the stricter national 5 standard.
We still have a lot to do to improve the air quality. For example, using public transportation as much as possible is not a hard thing for us to do, but it matters a lot.

A. Three.
B. Six.
C. Eight.
D. More than ten.
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Zhang Wei didn't set off a single firecracker this Spring Festival.
B. We should use more public transportation to help reduce the air pollution.
C. Zhejiang has started to use national 4 standard to reduce vehicle emission.
D. More Chinese think the celebration of setting off firecracker is fashionable.

答案：
How to keep safe in school
Do you know that our school life could be dangerous if we are not careful enough For example, one day, two students ran after each other in the hallway. Suddenly, one of them fell down and hurt his leg because of the wet floor. Therefore, he had to stay in hospital for two weeks.
So I think students should always walk but not run in the hallways. And the teachers had better keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running.
At last, I hope all the students should pay more attention to their safety in school.
