Tom Hanks is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )well known to many people. He once acted in the films Forrest Gump and DaVinci Code. But do you know that he was not popular with his classmates and teachers at all when he was very young
Tom Hanks was born in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) California. He once said to a reporter, “When I was young, maybe others thought of me as a stupid boy. But I kept optimistic (乐观的). I never kept these bad things in my mind and I didn’t care about others’ thoughts, so I didn’t get into trouble. Later I took acting classes. The classes were the best places for me because I liked making noise. I often went to the movies. I would never go there with others. I would just drive to a theatre, buy myself a ticket, sit in the seat and see the film. I put myself into the shows and spent a lot of time learning how to act.”
Tom Hanks has played m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any different roles. His performance in Sleepless in Seattle was so successful that it became the turning point of Tom Hanks’ career (职业生涯). Then his movie Philadelphia made him win the sixty-sixth Oscar as best actor.

Insects (昆虫) make up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )more than half of all living things in the world. However, according to a report in a magazine, the number of insects in the world has fallen by 45% in the past 35 years. Scientists say this could be very dangerous for humans.
One of the biggest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reasons for the finding is that more and more trees are being cut down and burnt. With more and more land being used for farming and building houses, more and more insects are losing their home.
Many countries ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e worried about this. Dr. Ben Collen from London University said, “In the UK, the number of insects has fallen by 60%.” He added, “Insects are really important for humans. We need to stop more insects from dying.” The decline in insect population can lead to many problems for humans. One of the biggest dangers is that there will be fewer insects to pollinate (给……授粉) plants. This means farmers will have problems growing food. Professor Rodolfo Dirzo from Stanford University said, “The decline in insect population may also lead to more illnesses in humans. For example, when mice have less food to eat, they will move to big cities and bring illnesses with them.”
Insects also mak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e our world much more interesting. It’s hard to imagine a world without insects.
( )41. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Where insects build their homes.
B. Why people are using land for farming.
C. Why the number of insects is falling.
D. How many insects there are in the world.
( )42. The underlined word “decline” means “______” in Chinese.
A. 减少 B. 增加 C. 稠密 D. 稀疏
( )43. Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following is probably the result of the finding
A. Plants will grow better.
B. Farmers will feel unhappy.
C. There will be no mice in the world.
D. There will be less living space for humans.
( )44. What wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l the next paragraph talk about if the passage goes on
A. What we can do to protect insects.
B. The disadvantages of too many insects.
C. Why mice will bring illnesses to cities.
D. How insects make our world more interesting.
( )45. We can probably read the report in a ______ magazine.
A. music B. computer
C. business D. science

Boys and girls,
It’s everyone’s d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uty to make our school a green one. There are a number of things we can do. First, we can save paper by using both sides of it. It’s also a good idea to use recycled paper. Second, we can ride a bicycle or walk to school instead of using a car. Cars use lots of oil and cause much pollution as well. Third, it’s good to use china cups and lunch boxes because they last a long time. Plastic bags and bottles are difficult to recycle, so we’d better not use them.
Everybody, please join in and let’s make a big difference!
Thank you!
