A baby giraffe without spots
Tall，long﹣necked giraffes generally all have spot（斑点）. （1） .Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints，each giraffe has its own spegial pattern of spots ﹣unless，of course，it doesn't have any spots.
On July 31st，a very unusual baby giraffe was born at a zoo in Tennessee，the US.The baby giraffe is a reticulated giraffe（纹长颈鹿）.Its hair is light brown.The giraffe was born perfectly healthy. （2） .
Zoo director David Bright said， "This is very rare.The last time this happened was in 1972 in Japan."Now，the baby giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world. （3） .
Mr.Bright said， "She's very sweet."
A giraffe's pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. （4） .Mr.Bright said， "The new giraffe would not have lived very long，if she had been born in the wild.She could be a prime target for hunting（狩猎） because she's so unusual."
（5） .Thirty﹣five years ago，there were around 36，000 wild reticulated giraffes.Now，the number has been cut by more than 50%.Around 16，000 reticulated giraffes remain in the wild，according to a report.The zoo is hoping to use the baby spotless giraffe to draw attention to efforts to protect giraffes.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项
A.The baby giraffe is a girl. B.The population of reticulated giraffes is falling. C.That means that this giraffe will never have spots. D.What makes it special is that it doesn't have any spots.

VII.阅读表达
28．（10分）
Letter 1 V X L C D M
Value 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
Roman （罗马的） numbers are the number system with hundreds of years' history.They were created by the Romans with seven letters：I，V，X，L，C，D and M.Their meanings are as follows.
Hand signals （手势） may tell us how Roman numbers were invented. "I"，a single line，is one finger，and "V" means five fingers. "X" is two hands showing two fives with thumbs （拇指） crossed，like the shape "X".
Roman numbers are read from left to right.
The order of the letters is important.There are two main rules.
If a letter comes before a letter of greater value，you use subtraction（减）.For example，IV is 4 and XC is 90.
If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value，you add them.For example，XII is 12；CXIII means 113.
Roman numbers have played an important part in Roman times.People used them in everyday business，engineering and math.People in Europe kept using them until the 15th century.Later，people realized the Arabic（阿拉伯的）numbers were easier when they had to calculate （计算） larger numbers.Also，zero was not in the Roman number system. It was a big problem in math.
However，Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to show people the time.In the names of streets and buildings，you can also see them.Subjects like chemistry and music might still use them.Besides，they are used to refer to kings and queens，such as Queen Elizabeth II.While they are not the main number system in modern math，they are still around us.
（1）根据文章内容回答问题。
①What is very important when you read a Roman number？
②What's the value of "LXV"？
（2）根据上下文，写出画线单词"it"指代的内容。
（3）根据文章最后一段填空，每空不超过三个单词。
Although people have used Arabic numbers instead of Roman numbers，Roman numbers ① .We can still see them everywhere，such as on watches and clocks，in the names of ② ，in the ③ book.Also，they are used in the kings' and ④ names.
29．（10分）Footprint means the influence that a person's or organization's activities have on the environment.Simply understanding it is very useful to us. （Let's take the example of Mr.Brown's footprints.）
Food Water footprint Mr.Brown's Water footprint
an apple 70 liters（升） breakfast：a hamburger，a cup of coffee lunch：a cup of coffee，a hamburger ，an apple dinner：vegetable salad，0.2 kilo of beef
a cup of coffee 140 liters
a kilo of beef 15.500 liters
one hamburger 2.400 liters
Water footprint
Water is the source of life.We use water directly for drinking，cooking and washing，but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food，paper and cloth.A water footprint tells us how much water is being used.It can help us come up with ways to save water.You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat，the things you buy and even the energy you use.
Carbon Footprint （Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO2） Mr.Brown's Carbon Footprint
travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic bags use your computer for32 hours drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours
Carbon（碳） footprint
A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO2 a person or organization produces.We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming（全球变暖）.Most people are surprised when they see how much CO2 their activities create.Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce their carbon footprints.For example，they can walk instead of using a car.
How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener？
Tip 1：Save water and electricity
When you are at home，don't leave the water or lights on when you don't need it.
Tip2：_____
Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat.The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO2.
Tip 3：Buy less
The more we buy，the more we throw away later.Before you buy something，think about whether you really need it.
Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth.If you know about your footprints well，you can think up more ways to protect the environment.
（1）根据文章上下文猜测"footprint"的汉语意思。
（2）根据文章内容填空。
Water use：
directly：drinking，cooking，① .
② ：food，paper，cloth.
（3）根据文章回答问题。
①How many liters of water does Mr.Brown use every lunch？
②How many kilos of CO2 does Mr.Brown add if he drives to work 24 km？
（4）给 Tip2 拟一个合适的小标题。
VIII.书面表达

—________ keeping a diary every day.（ ）
A．In B．With C．By D．For
【解答】In在……里面；With和……在一起；带有；使用；By通过……的方式；For为了。根据"keeping a diary"可知，是通过记日记的方式来提高写作。
故选：C。
9．（1分）—________ good weather!Why not play football in the playground？

A．What a B．How a C．What D．How
【解答】本题考查感叹句。感叹句由what和how引导。what后面接名词，how后面接形容词，副词或全句，感叹句的主谓不倒装。常用句型是What+an/a+形容词+单数可数名词+主语+谓语+其他！；What+形容词+复数名词/不可数名词+主语+谓语+其他！How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语+其他！How+主语+谓语+其他！根据观察可知感叹句的主语和系动词it is被省略了，主语前的词weather（天气）是不可数名词，需要用what引导感叹句。
故选：C。
10．（1分）﹣﹣Hey，Mike!Guess______for my coming winter vacation.
﹣﹣To Hainan Island？You always like somewhere warm.（ ）
A． what will I do B． where I'm going
C．when I left D． who I'm going with

故选：B。
11．（1分）﹣ Did your mother use to_____ to work？

A．completes B．completed
C．has completed D．is completed
【解答】根据句意：﹣ ﹣妈妈，我可以看电视吗？﹣﹣﹣对不起．为什么不做完你的家庭作业再看呢？可知主语是动作的承受者，用被动语态be+过去分词；时态为一般现在时．
故选：D．
13．（1分）________ my father ________ my mother is good at cooking.So we always enjoy delicious food.（ ）
A．Not only；but also B．Both；and
C．Neither；nor D．Either；or
【解答】Not only...but also不仅……而且；Both...and既……又；Neither...nor既不……也不；Either...or或者……或者。根据"So we always enjoy delicious food."可知两个人都喜欢，排除CD；both...and连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式；not only...but also连接两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与靠近but also的主语保持一致。my mother是单数形式，因此be动词用is。
故选：A。
14．（1分）Anna wants to get her ears______，but her mother doesn't agree.（ ）
A． pierced B． pierce C． to pierce D． piercing
【解答】pierce刺穿，是动词原形；pierced是过去分词；to pierce是动词不定式；piercing是现在分词和动名词。宾语her ears和"刺穿"是被动关系，要用过去分词作宾补。其它选项不符合语法。
故选：A。
15．（1分）—Who's that girl swimming in the pool？Is it Lucy？
—It ________ be Lucy.She is sleeping in her bedroom now.（ ）
A．may B．must C．can't D．mustn't

故选：A。
17．（1分）﹣Excuse me， sir， but you are not supposed here.
﹣Sorry， I won't do it again.（ ）
A．to smoking B．to smoke
C．smoking D．smoke
【解答】根据语境，题干设空处考查固定搭配be not supposed to do sth.结构，意为"不应该做某事"；这里题干中表示"不应该在这里吸烟"。
故选：B。

A baby giraffe without spots
Tall，long﹣necked giraffes generally all have spot（斑点）. （1） F .Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints，each giraffe has its own spegial pattern of spots ﹣unless，of course，it doesn't have any spots.
On July 31st，a very unusual baby giraffe was born at a zoo in Tennessee，the US.The baby giraffe is a reticulated giraffe（纹长颈鹿）.Its hair is light brown.The giraffe was born perfectly healthy. （2） D .
Zoo director David Bright said， "This is very rare.The last time this happened was in 1972 in Japan."Now，the baby giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world. （3） A .
Mr.Bright said， "She's very sweet."
A giraffe's pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. （4） C .Mr.Bright said， "The new giraffe would not have lived very long，if she had been born in the wild.She could be a prime target for hunting（狩猎） because she's so unusual."
（5） B .Thirty﹣five years ago，there were around 36，000 wild reticulated giraffes.Now，the number has been cut by more than 50%.Around 16，000 reticulated giraffes remain in the wild，according to a report.The zoo is hoping to use the baby spotless giraffe to draw attention to efforts to protect giraffes.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项
A.The baby giraffe is a girl. B.The population of reticulated giraffes is falling. C.That means that this giraffe will never have spots. D.What makes it special is that it doesn't have any spots. E.The zoo is celebrating the birth of a very unusual giraffe. F.The spots are believed to help them hide from their enemies.
【解答】（1）细节推理题。根据前一句Tall，long﹣necked giraffes generally all have spot.（高高的长脖子长颈鹿通常都有斑点。）可知，空格处应说明斑点的对于长颈鹿的作用，选项F"人们相信这些斑点有助于它们躲避敌人。"符合语境。故选F。
（2）细节推理题。根据本段开头On July 31st，a very unusual baby giraffe was born at a zoo in Tennessee，the US.（7月31日，一只非常与众不同的长颈鹿宝宝在美国田纳西州的一家动物园出生。）以及空格前The giraffe was born perfectly healthy. （这只长颈鹿出生时非常健康。）可知，空格处应说明它为什么与众不同，选项D"它的特别之处在于它没有任何斑点。"符合语境。故选D。
（3）细节推理题。根据前一句Now，the baby giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world.（现在，这只长颈鹿被认为是世界上唯一没有斑点的长颈鹿。）和后一句Mr.Bright said， "She's very sweet."（Bright先生说："她很可爱。"）可知，这里是介绍这只长颈鹿的特征，选项A"长颈鹿宝宝是个女孩。"符合语境。故选A。
（4）细节推理题。根据前一句A giraffe's pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother.（长颈鹿的斑点图案是在母体内生长时形成的。）可知，出生时没有斑点的长颈鹿以后也不会长出斑点，选项C"这意味着这只长颈鹿永远不会有斑点。"符合语境。故选C。
（5）细节推理题。根据后一句Thirty﹣five years ago，there were around 36，000 wild reticulated giraffes.Now，the number has been cut by more than 50%.Around 16，000 reticulated giraffes remain in the wild，according to a report.（35年前，大约有3.6万只野生网状长颈鹿。据报道，现在这个数字已经减少了50%以上。）可知，网状长颈鹿的数量减少了，选项B"网状长颈鹿的数量正在减少。"符合语境。故选B。

（4）﹣﹣Where are your friends？
﹣They are attending a meeting in the office.
（5）You will regret later if you do it like this.
【解答】（1）考查动词。句意：我的老师讲解语法非常清晰，我们都已经掌握了。根据句意可知，master掌握，动词，符合语境，且根据题干中的already，可知时态为现在完成时，主语为we，故把master变为have mastered。故填：have mastered。
（2）考查动词。句意：在我镇上的每个人都欣赏中秋节的月亮。根据句意可知，admire欣赏，动词，符合语境，该句描述一般事实，时态为一般现在时，主语为Everyone，不定代词做主语，谓语动词用单数，故把admire改为admires。故填：admires。
（3）考查动词。句意：汤姆的自行车上周被偷了，所以他不得不买一辆新的。根据句意可知，steal偷，动词，符合语境，steal和bike之间为被动关系，且根据句中时间状语last week可知时态为一般过去时，故把steal变为was stolen。故填：was stolen。
（4）考查动词。句意：﹣﹣ 你的朋友们在哪里？ ﹣﹣ 他们正在办公室开会。根据句意可知，attend出席，参加，符合语境，且时态为现在进行时，主语They为复数，故把attend变为are attending。故填：are attending。
（5）考查动词。句意：如果你这样做，你以后会后悔的。根据句意可知，regret后悔，动词，符合语境，且该句为if引导的条件状语从句，遵循″主将从现″原则，即主语句子为一般将来时，从句句子为一般现在时。故把regret变为will regret。故填：will regret。

Letter 1 V X L C D M
Value 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
Roman （罗马的） numbers are the number system with hundreds of years' history.They were created by the Romans with seven letters：I，V，X，L，C，D and M.Their meanings are as follows.
Hand signals （手势） may tell us how Roman numbers were invented. "I"，a single line，is one finger，and "V" means five fingers. "X" is two hands showing two fives with thumbs （拇指） crossed，like the shape "X".
Roman numbers are read from left to right.
The order of the letters is important.There are two main rules.
If a letter comes before a letter of greater value，you use subtraction（减）.For example，IV is 4 and XC is 90.
If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value，you add them.For example，XII is 12；CXIII means 113.
Roman numbers have played an important part in Roman times.People used them in everyday business，engineering and math.People in Europe kept using them until the 15th century.Later，people realized the Arabic（阿拉伯的）numbers were easier when they had to calculate （计算） larger numbers.Also，zero was not in the Roman number system. It was a big problem in math.
However，Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to show people the time.In the names of streets and buildings，you can also see them.Subjects like chemistry and music might still use them.Besides，they are used to refer to kings and queens，such as Queen Elizabeth II.While they are not the main number system in modern math，they are still around us.
（1）根据文章内容回答问题。
①What is very important when you read a Roman number？
The order of the letters is important.
②What's the value of "LXV"？
65
（2）根据上下文，写出画线单词"it"指代的内容。
Zero was not in the Roman number system.
（3）根据文章最后一段填空，每空不超过三个单词。
Although people have used Arabic numbers instead of Roman numbers，Roman numbers ① are still used .We can still see them everywhere，such as on watches and clocks，in the names of ② streets and buildings ，in the ③ chemistry and music book.Also，they are used in the kings' and ④ queens' names.
【解答】（1）①细节理解题。根据第五段The order of the letters is important.（字母的顺序很重要）可知读罗马数字时顺序很重要。故填The order of the letters is important.
②推理计算题。根据第六段 If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value，you add them.For example，XII is 12；CXIII means 113.（假如一个或多个字母在比它大的值之后，就用加法。如XII是112，CXIII是113。）可知，应该用加法。故填65。
（2）细节理解题。根据第八段Zero was not in the Roman number system.（在罗马数字中没有0。）可知，it代指这句话。故填Zero was not in the Roman number system.
（3）①细节理解题。根据最后一段Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to show people the time.（罗马数字依然在手表和钟表上使用，用来告诉人们时间）可知罗马数字依然在用。故填are still used。
②细节理解题。根据最后一段In the names of streets and buildings，you can also see them（在街道和建筑物的名字中，你也能见到它们。）可知，罗马数字用在街道和建筑物的名字中。故填streets and buildings。
③细节理解题。根据最后一段Subjects like chemistry and music might still use them.（在化学和音乐科目中也在可能使用。）可知在化学和音乐书中使用罗马数字。故填chemistry and music。
④Besides，they are used to refer to kings and queens，such as Queen Elizabeth II.（除此之外，它们也用来指国王和王后的名字，例如伊丽莎白女王二世）可知，它们可以用在王后的名字中。故填queens'。
29．（10分）Footprint means the influence that a person's or organization's activities have on the environment.Simply understanding it is very useful to us. （Let's take the example of Mr.Brown's footprints.）
Food Water footprint Mr.Brown's Water footprint
an apple 70 liters（升） breakfast：a hamburger，a cup of coffee lunch：a cup of coffee，a hamburger ，an apple dinner：vegetable salad，0.2 kilo of beef
a cup of coffee 140 liters
a kilo of beef 15.500 liters
one hamburger 2.400 liters
Water footprint
Water is the source of life.We use water directly for drinking，cooking and washing，but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food，paper and cloth.A water footprint tells us how much water is being used.It can help us come up with ways to save water.You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat，the things you buy and even the energy you use.
Carbon Footprint （Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO2） Mr.Brown's Carbon Footprint
travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic bags use your computer for32 hours drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours
Carbon（碳） footprint
A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO2 a person or organization produces.We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming（全球变暖）.Most people are surprised when they see how much CO2 their activities create.Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce their carbon footprints.For example，they can walk instead of using a car.
How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener？
Tip 1：Save water and electricity
When you are at home，don't leave the water or lights on when you don't need it.
Tip2：_____
Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat.The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO2.
Tip 3：Buy less
The more we buy，the more we throw away later.Before you buy something，think about whether you really need it.
Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth.If you know about your footprints well，you can think up more ways to protect the environment.

足迹
（2）根据文章内容填空。
Water use：
directly：drinking，cooking，① washing .
② indirectly ：food，paper，cloth.
（3）根据文章回答问题。

②How many kilos of CO2 does Mr.Brown add if he drives to work 24 km？

（4）给 Tip2 拟一个合适的小标题。
Eat less meat
【解答】（1）词义猜测题。根据Footprint means the influence that a person's or organization's activities have on the environment.Simply understanding it is very useful to us. （Let's take the example of Mr.Brown's footprints.）（足迹是指个人或组织的活动对环境的影响。简单地理解它对我们很有用。（让我们以布朗先生的脚印为例。））故填：足迹。
（2）细节理解题。
①根据We use water directly for drinking，cooking and washing，but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food，paper and cloth.（我们直接用水来饮用、烹饪和洗涤，但我们也间接用水来生产食物、纸张和布料。）可知，我们直接用水来饮用、烹饪和洗涤，但我们也间接用水来生产食物、纸张和布料。故填：washing。

②Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO2。drive 6 km by car（以下每项活动都会增加1公斤二氧化碳 开车行驶6公里）可知，布朗开车24公里去上班，他会增加4公斤二氧化碳。故填：4 kilo of CO2.
（4）标题归纳题。Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat.The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO2.（星期一不吃肉很受那些想少吃点肉的人的欢迎。肉类生产消耗了大量的能源，产生了大量的二氧化碳。）可知，此处小标题是Eat less meat（少吃肉）故填：Eat less meat。

A baby giraffe without spots
Tall，long﹣necked giraffes generally all have spot（斑点）. （1） .Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints，each giraffe has its own spegial pattern of spots ﹣unless，of course，it doesn't have any spots.
On July 31st，a very unusual baby giraffe was born at a zoo in Tennessee，the US.The baby giraffe is a reticulated giraffe（纹长颈鹿）.Its hair is light brown.The giraffe was born perfectly healthy. （2） .
Zoo director David Bright said， "This is very rare.The last time this happened was in 1972 in Japan."Now，the baby giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world. （3） .
Mr.Bright said， "She's very sweet."
A giraffe's pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. （4） .Mr.Bright said， "The new giraffe would not have lived very long，if she had been born in the wild.She could be a prime target for hunting（狩猎） because she's so unusual."
（5） .Thirty﹣five years ago，there were around 36，000 wild reticulated giraffes.Now，the number has been cut by more than 50%.Around 16，000 reticulated giraffes remain in the wild，according to a report.The zoo is hoping to use the baby spotless giraffe to draw attention to efforts to protect giraffes.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项
A.The baby giraffe is a girl. B.The population of reticulated giraffes is falling. C.That means that this giraffe will never have spots. D.What makes it special is that it doesn't have any spots. E.The zoo is celebrating the birth of a very unusual giraffe. F.The spots are believed to help them hide from their enemies.

Letter 1 V X L C D M
Value 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
Roman （罗马的） numbers are the number system with hundreds of years' history.They were created by the Romans with seven letters：I，V，X，L，C，D and M.Their meanings are as follows.
Hand signals （手势） may tell us how Roman numbers were invented. "I"，a single line，is one finger，and "V" means five fingers. "X" is two hands showing two fives with thumbs （拇指） crossed，like the shape "X".
Roman numbers are read from left to right.
The order of the letters is important.There are two main rules.
If a letter comes before a letter of greater value，you use subtraction（减）.For example，IV is 4 and XC is 90.
If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value，you add them.For example，XII is 12；CXIII means 113.
Roman numbers have played an important part in Roman times.People used them in everyday business，engineering and math.People in Europe kept using them until the 15th century.Later，people realized the Arabic（阿拉伯的）numbers were easier when they had to calculate （计算） larger numbers.Also，zero was not in the Roman number system. It was a big problem in math.
However，Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to show people the time.In the names of streets and buildings，you can also see them.Subjects like chemistry and music might still use them.Besides，they are used to refer to kings and queens，such as Queen Elizabeth II.While they are not the main number system in modern math，they are still around us.
（1）根据文章内容回答问题。
①What is very important when you read a Roman number？
②What's the value of "LXV"？
（2）根据上下文，写出画线单词"it"指代的内容。
（3）根据文章最后一段填空，每空不超过三个单词。
Although people have used Arabic numbers instead of Roman numbers，Roman numbers ① .We can still see them everywhere，such as on watches and clocks，in the names of ② ，in the ③ book.Also，they are used in the kings' and ④ names.
29．（10分）Footprint means the influence that a person's or organization's activities have on the environment.Simply understanding it is very useful to us. （Let's take the example of Mr.Brown's footprints.）
Food Water footprint Mr.Brown's Water footprint
an apple 70 liters（升） breakfast：a hamburger，a cup of coffee lunch：a cup of coffee，a hamburger ，an apple dinner：vegetable salad，0.2 kilo of beef
a cup of coffee 140 liters
a kilo of beef 15.500 liters
one hamburger 2.400 liters
Water footprint
Water is the source of life.We use water directly for drinking，cooking and washing，but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food，paper and cloth.A water footprint tells us how much water is being used.It can help us come up with ways to save water.You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat，the things you buy and even the energy you use.
Carbon Footprint （Each of the following activities adds 1 kilo of CO2） Mr.Brown's Carbon Footprint
travel 10 to 12 km by train or bus drive 6 km by car produce 5 plastic bags use your computer for32 hours drive to work 24 km drive to the supermarket 5 km use 5 plastic bags for shopping use his computer for about 8 hours
Carbon（碳） footprint
A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO2 a person or organization produces.We can use it to understand the influence of personal behavior on global warming（全球变暖）.Most people are surprised when they see how much CO2 their activities create.Then they begin to think about changing their daily habits to reduce their carbon footprints.For example，they can walk instead of using a car.
How to reduce your water footprint and carbon footprint to be greener？
Tip 1：Save water and electricity
When you are at home，don't leave the water or lights on when you don't need it.
Tip2：_____
Meatless Monday is popular with people who want to eat less meat.The production of meat uses lots of energy and produces lots of CO2.
Tip 3：Buy less
The more we buy，the more we throw away later.Before you buy something，think about whether you really need it.
Everyone plays a role in making a greener Earth.If you know about your footprints well，you can think up more ways to protect the environment.
（1）根据文章上下文猜测"footprint"的汉语意思。
（2）根据文章内容填空。
Water use：
directly：drinking，cooking，① .
② ：food，paper，cloth.
（3）根据文章回答问题。
①How many liters of water does Mr.Brown use every lunch？
②How many kilos of CO2 does Mr.Brown add if he drives to work 24 km？
（4）给 Tip2 拟一个合适的小标题。

C．Neither；nor D．Either；or
【解答】Not only...but also不仅……而且；Both...and既……又；Neither...nor既不……也不；Either...or或者……或者。根据"So we always enjoy delicious food."可知两个人都喜欢，排除CD；both...and连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式；not only...but also连接两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与靠近but also的主语保持一致。my mother是单数形式，因此be动词用is。

A． pierced B． pierce C． to pierce D． piercing
【解答】pierce刺穿，是动词原形；pierced是过去分词；to pierce是动词不定式；piercing是现在分词和动名词。宾语her ears和"刺穿"是被动关系，要用过去分词作宾补。其它选项不符合语法。

28．（10分）
Letter 1 V X L C D M
Value 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
Roman （罗马的） numbers are the number system with hundreds of years' history.They were created by the Romans with seven letters：I，V，X，L，C，D and M.Their meanings are as follows.
Hand signals （手势） may tell us how Roman numbers were invented. "I"，a single line，is one finger，and "V" means five fingers. "X" is two hands showing two fives with thumbs （拇指） crossed，like the shape "X".
Roman numbers are read from left to right.
The order of the letters is important.There are two main rules.
If a letter comes before a letter of greater value，you use subtraction（减）.For example，IV is 4 and XC is 90.
If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value，you add them.For example，XII is 12；CXIII means 113.
Roman numbers have played an important part in Roman times.People used them in everyday business，engineering and math.People in Europe kept using them until the 15th century.Later，people realized the Arabic（阿拉伯的）numbers were easier when they had to calculate （计算） larger numbers.Also，zero was not in the Roman number system. It was a big problem in math.
However，Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to show people the time.In the names of streets and buildings，you can also see them.Subjects like chemistry and music might still use them.Besides，they are used to refer to kings and queens，such as Queen Elizabeth II.While they are not the main number system in modern math，they are still around us.
（1）根据文章内容回答问题。
①What is very important when you read a Roman number？
The order of the letters is important.
②What's the value of "LXV"？

（2）根据上下文，写出画线单词"it"指代的内容。

【解答】（1）①细节理解题。根据第五段The order of the letters is important.（字母的顺序很重要）可知读罗马数字时顺序很重要。故填The order of the letters is important.
②推理计算题。根据第六段 If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value，you add them.For example，XII is 12；CXIII means 113.（假如一个或多个字母在比它大的值之后，就用加法。如XII是112，CXIII是113。）可知，应该用加法。故填65。
（2）细节理解题。根据第八段Zero was not in the Roman number system.（在罗马数字中没有0。）可知，it代指这句话。故填Zero was not in the Roman number system.
