三、阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
A
How green are you Do you know how to be green
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup of a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
1. What is the passage about
A. How to produce things.
B. How to burn things.
C. How to help others.
D. How to be green.
2. Which of the following is right
A. Don't waste things.
B. Always throw away old things.
C. Always buy new things.
D. Buy too many things from abroad.
3. Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box
A. You can burn them.
B. You can use them again.
C. You can throw them away.
D. You can change them into something else.
4. To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.
A. waste, reuse and recycle
B. repair, burn and recycle
C. reduce, reuse and recycle
D. reduce, waste and recycle.
5. The passage may come from ______.
A. a menu
B. a dictionary
C. a storybook
D. a magazine
B
After coming to America, the use of "yes" and "no" brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, "Haven't you had dinner yet " and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say "Yes, I haven't." But in English, I have to say, "No, I haven't."
Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. "Oh, you told me that. Don't you remember " he said, "When I asked you 'You are not from North Korea, are you' you clearly answered, 'Yes, of course.' Didn't it mean that you are from North Korea "
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I didn't mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, "Didn't my children make noise last night Didn't it make you uncomfortable " Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said "Yes!" The smile suddenly disappear from Mark's face, and he said, "I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later." I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, "OK. Bye!" After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.
Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of "yes" or "no", Second, use "pardon me", so the person may explain to me in a direct way.
1. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from ______.
A. North Korea
B. America
C. South Korea
D. China
2.In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered "Yes",Mark might think the writer was _______.
A. rude
B. kind
C. helpful
D. polite
3. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) _______.
A. "yes"
B. the noise
C. watching TV
D. the smile
4. If the writer is not sure of "yes" or "no" next time, he will say______.
A. "pardon me"
B. "yes"
C. "no"
D. "I don't know"
5. The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us_______.
A. to work hard on English
B. to learn to respect others
C. never to use "yes" or "no"
D. to know culture differences

Dear Mike,
I'm glad to hear that you are interested in our environment protection activities. To be an ecological citizen(生态公民), we did a good job. Last Sunday, I went to our community with my friends to give the people there a speech. It was about how to protect our environment. After the speech, they knew they should take a bus or ride a bike instead of driving to cut down air pollution. To reduce waste pollution, they should take bags to go shopping. And they also knew to put litter in different bins. Finally, we called them on to make a difference to our environment together. We were tired but happy that day.
Now the environment around us becomes better and better. Welcome to my hometown one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
