第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Five years ago,I was sent to a better middle school.For me,everything there was new and strange.After I had been there for two months,there was an important test in the middle of the term.It covered all my courses.In that test,I didn’t get a good grade,but most of my classmates got an A.
It made me upset for a long time.I felt everything in the world was changing.I thought my classmates were all better than me.During those days I was very unhappy.
One day,my aunt,after talking with my teachers,talked to me.She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future.I was shocked by her words.I thought about what I had done during the past months,and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades.I thought I should work harder.
After that,I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes,and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something.I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems.Most of all,I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class.As a result,I did better in some tests.
About three months later,the most important test came at the end of the term.This time,I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade.From then on,I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something,I should work hard for it.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact,if education is just a way of making a living,people don’t need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even languages and mathematics need not be taught in detail,either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak,read and write,but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that,it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of humans.Education is to make a man lead a better life.Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays,and most of all,take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
24.People with little education usually 　　　.
A.spend a long time in school
B.have a good chance to get a job
C.spend the best years to choose jobs
D.have fewer chances to get a good job
25.The earliest education was probably to 　　　.
A.make a man lead a better life B.teach a man to write and think
C.make people get a way of living D.teach people to read good books
26.It is expected that educated people will be able to 　　　.
A.accept education as a way of living
B.take an interest in the whole world
C.develop their abilities to make plays
D.learn subjects like languages and maths
27.The passage mainly tells us that 　　　.
A.education should make a man improve
B.people can get education in a short time
C.people should be able to get better paying jobs
D.all subjects are so important for a way of living
C
By day,Robert Titterton is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.“I’m not a trained musician,but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.”Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns,including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key,and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances,there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page,but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,”Mr Titterton said,“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists,although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,”she laughed.“He’s interested in the music,feeling every note,and I have to say:‘Turn,turn!’Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
28.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A.Read music. B.Play the piano.
C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
29.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A.Boring. B.Well-paid.
C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
30.What does Titterton need to practise
A.Counting the pages. B.Recognizing the “nodding”.
C.Catching falling objects. D.Performing in his own style.
31.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”
A.He has very poor eyesight. B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music. D.He forgets to do his job.
D
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins with“Twinkle,twinkle,little star” or remember the story of “Cinderella” or “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”.
One explanation is the law of overlearning,which can be stated as follows:Once we have learned something,additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming,bicycle riding,and playing baseball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle,twinkle,little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school,because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,though it may result in a passing grade,is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming,a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning,on the other hand,is really necessary for one’s future development.
32.What is the main idea of paragraph 1
A.People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D.Stories for children are easy to remember.
33.The author explains the law of overlearning by 　　　.
A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules
C.making a comparison D.using examples
34.According to the author,being able to use multiplication tables is 　　　.
A.a result of overlearning
B.a special case of cramming
C.a skill to deal with maths problems
D.a basic step towards advanced studies
35.What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A.It leads to failure in college exams.
B.It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C.It’s possible to result in poor memory.
D.It increases students’ learning interest.

Advice on how to help you beat test stress
Studying for your tests at school can sometimes make you feel a bit stressed or worried,so we’ve put together some top advice to help you feel calmer and more confident.
Don’t compare yourself to your friends.Everyone learns things differently and some people find things easier than others.Choose a revision plan that works best for you.If your friends are different,then that’s fine.　36　
If you are feeling stressed,talk to someone.It could be a friend,a teacher or your family.Don’t feel as if you’re letting people down by admitting you are feeling stressed.　37　 They will hopefully help you to feel better.
Try to take regular breaks during your revision.Taking your mind off things will help give your brain time to deal with all the information you are learning.　38　 You could go for a walk or even just close your eyes and relax for a few minutes.
　39　 It’s important to try to eat well and get lots of sleep during the lead-up to a test.If you don’t give your mind a rest or give your body the right energy,it might not work as well as it could.
Doing exercise really helps!Whether you are playing football,going for a walk or a run,dancing,or even just riding your bike,exercise can really help to take your mind off things.　40　
A.Get plenty of sleep.
B.Look after your body.
C.You could even bring a friend to talk about the exam.
D.They will be happy if you share your feelings with them.
E.So switch off your phone or get a drink from the kitchen.
F.It could help you stay focused and give you more energy.
G.What works well for one person might not work well for another.

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get education.　41　,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The 　42　 between schooling and education suggested by this is important.
Education is 　43　,compared with schooling.Education knows no edges.It can take place 　44　,whether in the school or on the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the 　45　 learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of learning out of class.　46　 the experience of schooling can be known in advance,education quite often produces surprises.A chance talk with a 　47　 may lead to a person to discover how 　48　 he knows of another country.People obtain education from 　49　 on.Education,then,is a very 　50　 and unlimited term.It is a lifelong process,a process that starts long 　51　 the start of school,and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I spent the last summer with my Grandmother in Warwick,New York,she sent me down to the grocery store with a long shopping list.Staring at all the items on the list,I wondered how I could find anything on the packed shelves around me.But she insisted.
I walked up to the counter.Behind it was a lady like no one I’d ever seen.Thick glasses rested on the tip of her nose.Gray hair was piled on her head.
“Excuse me,”I said.She looked up.
“You’re that Clements kid,”she said.“I’m Miss e closer and let me get a look at you.”She pushed her glasses up her nose.“I want to be able to describe you to the policeman if something goes missing rom the store.”
“I’m not a thief!”I was shocked.I was too young to be a thief!
“Maybe not,but I can tell you’ve got potential.”She went back to reading her newspaper.
“I need to get these,” I said,holding up my list.“So Go get them.”She ignored my need of a favor.“There’s no one here except you and me and I’m not your servant,so I suggest you start looking for the things on that list.”
The store was a puzzle to a seven-year-old,and it seemed to hold all the goods in the world.I complained about this task Grandma had set me to do while trying to find all the items on my list.It took me an hour and a half to do it,and the mean lady behind the counter didn’t even bother to look at me once.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer.Sometimes she sold me an old newspaper instead of the latest one.Sometimes she overcharged me and didn’t seem embarrassed when I pointed it out.Going to the store was more like going into battle,but I survived.By summer’s end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.The morning I was to return to Brooklyn,I stopped in to get a soda.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“All right,Miss Potential,”she said.“What did you learn this summer ”



One day after all those years my seven-year-old daughter came to me with homework troubles.

21.B　根据第三段中的“She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future.”可知作者的姑姑让作者思考自己考试不利的原因。故选B项。
22.C　根据倒数第二段中的“Most of all,I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class.”可知选C项。
23.B　画线句子的意思是:这次我不仅在我的班级而且在整个年级也很突出。也就是说作者考得很好。故选B项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了教育的意义。教育能提升人的品位,对于工作和生活都很重要。
24.D　根据第一段中的“In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.”可知接受教育很少的人,获得好工作的机会很少。故选D项。
25.C　根据第二段中的“Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.”可知最早的教育可能是为了让人们获得一种谋生的方式。
26.B　根据第三段中的“Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays,and most of all,take an interest in the world.”可知选B项。
27.A　根据短文内容尤其是第三段描述可知,教育有助于一个人提高自身水平。故选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。Robert Titterton是一位律师,但他很喜欢音乐,业余时间他在舞台上为钢琴家Maria Raspopova翻乐谱。翻乐谱这份工作看似简单,其实要求很高。
28.A　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria”可知,要想为钢琴家翻乐谱,必须能够识谱。故选A项。
29.C　推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段内容可推断,在台上为钢琴家翻乐谱这项工作看似简单,实则不然,是一份要求高的工作。故选C项。
30.B　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,舞台上的无声交流是很关键的,每位钢琴家都有属于自己风格的点头示意的方式,翻乐谱的人必须学会察言观色,才能与演奏者高度默契,而这需要双方经过大量的练习才能实现。故选B项。
31.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断,Raspopova的丈夫其实很喜欢音乐,但是他在舞台上只顾欣赏每一个音符,忘记了自己的本职工作,所以妻子才不断提醒他,并称其“the worst page turner”。故选D项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了什么是过度学习法则,以及过度学习与突击学习的对比及不同效果等。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了战胜考试压力的几点建议。
36.G　根据上句“Choose a revision plan that works best for you.If your friends are different,then that’s fine.”可知,每个人的复习计划不一定要相同,别人的方法不一定适合你。因此G项(适合这个人的不一定适合另外的人)符合语境。故选G项。

38.E　根据上句“Taking your mind off things will help give your brain time to deal with all the information you are learning.”可知,要学会适当地放松,这有助于调节大脑。因此E项(因此关掉手机,或者从厨房拿一杯饮料)符合语境。故选E项。
39.B　根据下句“It’s important to try to eat well and get lots of sleep during the lead-up to a test.”可知,考试期间,要注意饮食和休息。空格处是本段主题句。因此B项(照顾好你的身体)符合语境。故选B项。
40.F　根据上文“exercise can really help to take your mind off things”可知,此处讲锻炼的好处。因此F项(它能帮助你集中精力,给你更多的能量)符合语境。故选F项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了上学与教育的区别。
41.B　句意:然而,据说现在孩子们上学打断了他们的教育过程。本文开头指人们普遍认为学校是受教育的地方,但是现在很多人不以为然。此处表示转折,故选B项。
42.A　句意:它所表明的上学和教育之间的区别是很重要的。此处指上学与教育二者之间有较大的区别(difference)。故选A项。
43.B　unexpected“出乎意料的”;endless“无止境的”;countless“无数的”;simple“简单的”。根据下文的“Education knows no edges.”可知,教育相对上学来说是无止境的(endless)。故选B项。
44.A　根据空后的“whether in the school or on the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor”可知,教育可以在任何地方(anywhere)发生。故选A项。
45.C　part-time“兼职的”;public“公众的”;standard“标准的”;strict“严格的”。根据空后的“learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of learning out of class”可知,此处指“标准”学习。故选C项。
46.D　句意:虽然上学的经历是可以提前知道的,但教育往往会产生惊喜。“上学的经历可以提前知道”与“教育常常产生惊喜”之间是转折关系。故选D项。
47.C　根据下文的“he knows of another country”可知,此处指同外国人交谈。故选C项。
48.D　句意:与外国人的一次偶然交谈可能使一个人发现他对另一个国家所知甚少。根据空后的“he knows of another country”可知,此处指对另一个国家知之甚少。故选D项。
49.A　根据常识可知,从婴儿(babies)时期,人们就开始获得教育。故选A项。
50.B　句意:因此,教育是一个非常广泛和无限的词语。“宽广的(broad)”与“无限的”之间是并列关系。故选B项。
51.D　根据前文“People obtain education from 　　　on.”可知,此处指“上学之前”。故选D项。
52.A　此处表示上学是一种基本的(basic)经历。故选A项。
53.C　句意:另一方面,上学是一种基本的经历,它的风格从一种方式到另一种方式变化不大。根据常识可知,上学接受教育的模式几乎变化不大。故选C项。
54.C　根据“at the same time” “use similar textbooks”可知,孩子们在同一时间到校。坐在固定的(fixed)座位上。用相似的课本。故选C项。
55.A　句意:在全国各地,孩子们在同一时间到校、坐在固定的座位上、使用相似的课本、做作业、参加考试等等。take exams“参加考试”;hold exams“举行考试”;mark papers“给试卷评分”;read papers“读报纸”。学校教育的评价手段是指参加考试。故选A项。

56.that　考查连词。句意:然而,我们对它们如此习惯以至于我们认为它们是理所当然的,而没有意识到它们已经给我们提供了多少灵感。此处为so...that...结构,表示“如此……以至于……”。故填that。
57.realising　考查非谓语动词。介词without后面要使用动词-ing形式。故填realising。
58.fascinating　考查形容词。“the most+形容词+designs”意为“最……的设计”,需使用形容词修饰名词designs。故填fascinating。
59.is presented　考查动词时态和语态。句意:大自然在各种各样的建筑设计中被展现。分析句意可知,本句表达的是一种现象,需使用一般现在时,动词present和主语nature之间是动宾关系,需使用被动结构be presented,nature是不可数名词,需使用is。故填is presented。
60.to catch　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句子中充当定语,修饰名词ways,需使用动词不定式形式。故填to catch。
61.connection　考查名词。定冠词the后面要接名词,connect是动词,需要转变为名词connection。故填connection。
62.truly　考查副词。分析句子结构可知,谓语动词captures需用副词修饰。故填truly。
63.a　考查冠词。此处缺少冠词,example在此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词。example前面有superb修饰,superb是以辅音音素开头的单词,故应使用a。
64.based　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句子中充当定语成分,修饰名词structures,所以需使用过去分词形式。故填based。
65.in　考查介词。in harmony with是固定搭配,表示“与……和谐相处”。故填in。

第二节
“All right,Miss Potential,”she said.“What did you learn this summer ”“That you’re mean!”Finally I said it,thinking that I didn’t have to deal with her again.To my amazement,Miss Bee laughed.“I know what you think of me,”she continued.“Well,I don’t care!Each of us is put on this Earth for a reason.I believe my job is to teach every child I meet some life lessons to help them.”At such a young age,I wasn’t capable of appreciating the lessons she claimed she had given me and I only wished that I had never met her.After checking out,I left.
One day after all those years my seven-year-old daughter came to me with homework troubles.“It’s too hard,”she complained.“Could you finish my math problems for me ”“If I do it for you,how will you ever learn to do it yourself ”I responded.Suddenly,I was back at the grocery store where I had learned the hard way to deal with my own business.Had I ever been overcharged since As my daughter went back to her homework,I wondered:Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago Sure enough,she didn’t act as a servant but she inspired potential in a seven-year-old.第七单元测评

The Pitons,Africa
Near the town of Soufriere,on St.Lucia’s southwestern coast,this pair of mountainous volcanic cones is truly green and what may attract your attention is that they’re also blessed in being covered with a grassy and unique forest that is home to a number of rare plant species.Collectively they are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse”,a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution,but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明) a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled “Truckload of Plastic”,Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
24.What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for
A.Beautifying the city he lives in. B.Introducing eco-friendly products.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D.Reducing garbage on the beach.
25.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling. B.To explain why they are useful.
C.To voice his views on modern art. D.To find a substitute for them.
26.What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A.Calming. B.Disturbing.
C.Refreshing. D.Challenging.
27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety
B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

Surprisingly,at our last night in Florence,Italy,we ate at a Mexican restaurant.We packed our bags and the next morning we headed for Rome.Along the way,we stopped in San Gimignano and Siena.San Gimignano was a hilly town with beautiful scenery.We walked along the streets,took pictures,and headed for Siena.We found that Siena was the most beautiful place we had visited.Besides the beautiful scenery,the town offered many restaurants and handmade pottery(陶器).Siena proved to be one of the best places to buy gifts for family members at home.
We arrived in Rome late that night and started the next morning with a full-day tour of the city.Our guide was a local who knew about everything there,everything about Rome and its history.We hit all the major sites—the Coliseum,the Trevi Fountain,the Pantheon,the Vatican,plus much more—and were attracted by all of them.The history of Italy was much more obvious in Rome compared to the other cities we had visited.
After our long day in Rome,we headed back to the hotel and left for America at 5:30 the next morning.Our homecoming was both bitter and sweet—we all missed our families and friends,but Italy had become a second home.We loved everything about Italian culture and history,and had truly enjoyed every minute of our trip.It was an enriching experience.Though it was an art trip,we gained much more knowledge.Our job now is to use what we learned and the photographs we took to create an art project for the spring art show.

Before there was the written word,there was the language of dance.Dance expresses love and hate,joy and sorrow,life and death,and everything else in between.

“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges,the owner of a dance studio in Iowa.“I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful.　37　 It’s great to watch them.For many of them,it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
　38　 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges.“They’re learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.　39　”
So do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better,calmer,and healthier Andrea Hillier says,“Dance,like the pattern of a beating heart,is life.Even after all these years,I want to get better and better.　40　 I find it hard to stop!Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
A.So why do we dance
B.Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.
C.If you like dancing outdoors,come to America.

Saturday morning was the day of the big surprise for little Daniel and at 9 o’clock,he arrived and saw granddad was standing at the front of his workshop.Daniel went over and gave him a hug.Granddad then pulled open the big door.There was the big surprise—a newly-made pirate ship!The little boy was so excited that he began to jump up and down.“Oh thank you!Granddad,my dream has come true!” he said.That day grandfather and grandson began to plan for an adventurous journey into the big sea.第八单元测评

On Earth Day,people around the world work to help our planet.But April 22 isn’t the only day this happens.Many people,including kids,protect the Earth all year long.Read about some inspiring stories,and then decide how you will make a difference.
Justin Sather,10,from Los Angeles,California
When he was 5,Justin learned that his favorite animal’s habitat was in danger.So he took action.He started a group called For the Love of Frogs and sold toy frogs to raise money.Justin said that frogs are an “indicator species”,which means that when their habitat is threatened,they show signs of illness earlier than other animals.“Frogs are telling us our planet really needs your help,”Justin added.
Aadya Joshi,16,from Mumbai,India
When Aadya was 13,she changed a junk lot in her neighborhood into a garden by using plants native to the area because native species attract native insects and animals.“The way to fix the habitat isn’t just to plant any tree,” she said.“It’s to replace what was torn down from that spot.” Now Aadya is leading the Right Green,an organization she founded to educate people about growing native plants and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
Xavier Baquero-Iglesias,11,from Naples,Florida
While playing with friends on Astroturf(artificial grass),Xavier noticed it was super hot,much hotter than real grass.Xavier used his knowledge of science to figure out why.Then he invented SoleX Turf which uses the heat from Astroturf to make electricity.Xavier said his invention created electricity in a way that was not harmful to the environment,“I wanted to find a way to reduce the effects of climate change and the main way is to find renewable energy sources.”
21.What is the proper way to repair the ecosystems according to Aadya
A.Planting more trees. B.Growing native plants.
C.Changing junk lots into gardens. D.Preventing foreign insects and animals.
22.What is the value of Xavier’s invention

B.It helps reduce electricity waste.
C.It can bring down the price of electricity.
D.It makes electricity in a pollution-free way.

London is in a valley.So towns in valleys see the surrounding air staying to the lower point.During the night,cold air from surrounding hills falls down in the valleys.The fog reputation of London,which called the smog,comes from the fact that the houses were,in the past,heated by coal.Houses and factories gave off much pollution in the air and,in order to condense(浓缩) into tiny water droplets,moisture(湿度) needs to be in contact with something that has a mass.So,the valley,the city,the coal heating,a high pressure with no wind and staying air... and you get the London’s smog.
In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems.In 1952,more than 4,000 people died in London because of the worst smog.The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today,London is much cleaner but there is a new problem:smog from cars.In December 1991,there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot.As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers.In the past,people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus.Now,many people drive to the new shopping centers.As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain.Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work.Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and cost.
Sometimes people take “direct action”.In 1995,for example,many people wanted to stop a new road from being built near Newbury.They set up houses in trees and lived there for many months.It took a long time to force the people out of the trees before the construction work on the road could continue.
24.Which of the following isn’t the direct cause of smog in London
A.The valley. B.The staying air.
C.The coal heating. D.The developed industry.
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.The government once introduced a law against smog from cars and factories.
B.London is much cleaner than before so nobody dies from pollution any longer.
C.Now smog in London mainly comes from cars.
D.The “direct action” taken in 1995 was a successful example of people reducing the use of cars.
26.What makes people do the shopping by car
A.They prefer to do shopping in big shopping centers outside the town.
B.Small shops near their homes have disappeared.
C.Many new shopping centers have appeared outside the town.
D.It has become a fashion to do shopping in large shopping centers.
27.What is the best title for this passage
A.To Reduce the Use of Cars
B.The Disadvantages Brought by the Use of Cars
C.Smog from Cars in Britain
D.People’s Actions against Smog
C
If you really want to go green,here’s good news:eating green is good for you.The very foods with a high carbon(碳) cost — meat,pork,dairy products,processed snacks — also tend to be filled with fat and calories.A green diet would be mostly vegetables and fruits,whole grains(全谷物),fish and lean meats(瘦肉) like chicken — a diet that is good for environment and your figure.Eating green can be healthier and beneficial to the climate.
It may be hard to believe that a meal at McDonald’s produces more carbon than your trip to a faraway place.More than 37% of the world’s land is used for agriculture,much of which was once forested.Deforestation(砍伐森林) is a major source of carbon.The fertilizer(化肥) and machinery needed on a modern farm also have a large carbon footprint,as does the network of ships and trucks that brings the food from the farm to your plate.
The most efficient way to reduce the carbon footprint of your menu is to eat less meat,especially beef.Raising cattle takes a lot more energy than growing the equivalent(相等的) amount of grains,fruits or vegetables.What’s more,the majority of cattle in the US are fed on grain and loads of it—670 million tons in 2002—and the fertilizer used to feed that creates separate environmental problems.
Focus on eating lower on the food chain,with more plants and fruits and less meat and dairy.It’s simple.We can change today what goes into our bodies for the health of our planet and ourselves.
28.According to the passage,eating green will 　　　.
A.protect the animals from being killed
B.promote the development of agriculture
C.help us lose weight and keep self-confidence
D.be good for our health and make a change for the climate
29.What will not lead to carbon in the agriculture
A.Grains. B.Fertilizer.
C.Machinery. D.Deforestation.
30.In the author’s opinion,the most efficient way to reduce carbon is to 　　　.
A.use less fertilizer B.plant more grains
C.stop raising the cattle D.eat more vegetables than meat
31.What is the passage mainly about
A.The change of our menu. B.How to reduce the carbon.
C.The benefits of eating green. D.The ways of keeping healthy.

My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟头) for seven years.One day,we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground.They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts.We called it“No Butts About It”.
At first,we drew pictures with“The Earth is not your ashtray(烟灰缸)” written on them.We put the pictures around our hometown—in parks,by beaches,and along roads.We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment.Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth.But it does,and all rubbish does!
Later,we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us.We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers.We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.
At the moment,we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes.Some companies want to do it.Many people have started to join our group since it began.Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America.
Now there are even groups in England,Australia and India!Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years.And we have won many prizes for what we do.But we are not interested in prizes.We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals,plants and and people.
One day,it will be.
32.What did the writer think about the cigarette butts in the first paragraph
A.They made the town smelly. B.They made the town unhealthy.
C.They made the town dirty. D.They made the town poor.
33.What does the writer do with the cigarette butts

C.Pick up the cigarette butts. D.Win prizes for starting groups.

B.the writer believes that the Earth will be a better and cleaner place
C.there are only 45 “No Butts About It”
D.the writer likes to be on newspapers and win prizes

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Farmers,especially in developing countries,are often criticized for cutting down forests.But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value in keeping trees.
Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent tree cover on more than one billion hectares(公顷) of farmland.　36　
The study found the most tree cover in South America.　37　 North Africa and West Asia have the least.And it also found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas.　38　
There are areas with few trees but also few people,and areas with many trees and many people.The findings suggest that things like land rights,markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.
Dennis Garrity heads the World Agroforestry Center.　39　 The problem,he says,is that policy-makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.
The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for,but trees provide nuts,fruit,wood and other products.They provide windbreaks and shade from the sun.　40　 Even under drought conditions,trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.
A.Almost all of it is covered by trees.
B.That is almost half the farmland in the world.
C.They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies.
D.He says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees.
E.Next comes Africa south of the Sahara,followed by Southeast Asia.
F.He devotes most of his time to making people realize its importance.
G.Nor could the size of nearby populations,meaning people and trees can live together.

第一节
Dear Tom,
I’m delighted to learn that you are interested in our tree-planting activity.
The activity is held annually with different themes.This year’s theme is “Building a Green Home”.The activity was held on March 12,our National Tree-planting Day.Early in the morning,all the teachers and students gathered on the West Hill,where we spent the whole morning digging,planting and watering.Eventually about 200 trees were planted.Seeing the trees waving in the warm wind,we all felt excited and proud despite tiredness.
Undoubtedly,we benefit a lot from the activity,which not only brings us the pleasure of labor but also helps us to develop team spirit.Hopefully you can join us next year.
Yours,
Li Hua

Several days later,when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story,Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lips were trembling.“Here,Daddy,” she said,and held out her hand.She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside.She put it into her father’s hand.With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled a blue box out of his pocket.Inside of the box were real,genuine,beautiful pearls.He had had them all along.He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing.
