One day, the man saw a fat goose (鹅) run by, so he caught it. “What a hearty meal you will make!” said the man. “Tonight my stomach will be full.”
“Do not eat me!” cried the goose. “I am a goose like no other. If you feed me and take care of me, I will lay golden eggs for you.”
“Can this be true ” the man wondered. “Since this goose can talk, perhaps it can lay golden eggs, too. I will give it a chance (机会).” So the man took the goose home and fed it the last food in his kitchen, even though he had to go to bed hungry that night.
As soon as he woke up the next morning, the man rushed over to the goose. Under the goose he found a large, shiny egg made of gold. He took the egg to the market and sold it for lots of money. When he came home, his arms were full of food, including good food for the goose.
Each day, the goose laid another golden egg and the man sold it. Before long, the man was very rich, yet he wanted to become even richer. “Why should I spend so much money on food for the goose ” he asked himself. He decided to cut the goose open and get all the golden eggs at once.
The man cut the goose open and found no golden eggs. “What have I done ” he cried.

Have you ever thought about how babies learn to speak For the first months of their lives, they cry and make noises, but children usually start forming(构成) words when they are about 12 months old. Which are the first words they say Sometimes, they are the words they hear most often, sometimes the words for things they like. They usually start with words like mama, papa or dada. Some scientists say that sounds like ma, da, pa and ba are the easiest sounds to make, so when parents are very happy because their child is saying mama, in fact the baby is just experimenting(进行实验) with making noises!
All children begin learning their language first by listening and then speaking. They start with words for objects, like “car” or “dog”, then words for actions, like “drink” or “eat”, slowly adding other kinds of words to make sentences. They can understand more difficult words and sentences, but they can’t say them. Some children speak more than others (just like adults!) and some children speak earlier than others, but by practising, they all learn in the end.
One mother tells the story of her son who didn’t speak until he was four years old. Before then, he pointed when he wanted something or just made strange noises. One day, he came into the kitchen for breakfast and said, “Can I have some chocolate, please ” And then, he never stopped talking.
So when you start to learn another language, remember that it took years for you to learn yours! If you keep listening and trying hard to speak, you improve, just like in your own language.
33. How old are most children when they start to say the first words
A. About 6 months old. B. About one year old. C. About 18 months old. D. About two years old.
34. When children begin language learning, which happens first
A. Speaking. B. Reading. C. Listening. D. Writing.
35. How does the writer explain that learning takes time in Paragraph 3
A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By giving an example. D. By making a survey.
36. What does the underlined word yours refer to
A. Your parents. B. Your language. C. Your children. D. Your lives.
D

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice. As a kind of material, paper is widely considered to be greener than plastic. However, it may come as a surprise when we find out the truth.
Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as we all know, can reduce carbon dioxide (减少二氧化碳) levels in the air. They can slow down climate (气候) change. The use of more paper bags can lead to more acts of cutting down trees.
Secondly, products made of paper require more energy and water. About 10% more energy and four times more water are used to produce a paper bag than to make a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand-new paper bag.
Thirdly, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more oil to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while to transport the same number of plastic bags, one truck is enough. Once the bags are thrown away, the increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste.
So, paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are harmful to our planet, as well as the plastic ones. Is there anything we can do to protect our planet
The most environment-friendly solution is to avoid single-use products. Products like glass bottles and steel straws can be reused easily. They are much more eco-friendly(对生态环境友好的) than either paper products or plastic ones. By increasing the usage of these products, we can greatly reduce the throw-away waste in our daily life and save more resources. If so, we can truly make our planet greener!
How to make our planet greener
Introduction It is not ____56____ that using paper instead of plastic will be greener.
Explanations: why using paper products isn’t a good way ____57____ more acts of cutting down trees. Trees can slow down climate change by ____58____ carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Require more energy and water. *____59____ a paper bag takes about 10% more energy and four times more water than a plastic one. *Making a brand-new paper bag takes ____60____ energy and water than going through the recycling process. Require more oil to transport *Transporting two million paper bags needs ____61____ times as many trucks as transporting the same number of plastic ones. *The increased weight also leads to much waste once we ____62____ the bags away.
Conclusion Paper products are actually a lose-lose for not only the environment but also businesses. Using ____63____ products does harm to environment, as well as plastic ones.
____64____ Avoiding single-use products is the most environment-friendly way. We can use products like glass water bottles and steel straws _____65_____ of plastic ones. Reducing the throw-away waste can help save more resources.

One day, the man saw a fat goose (鹅) run by, so he caught it. “What a hearty meal you will make!” said the man. “Tonight my stomach will be full.”
“Do not eat me!” cried the goose. “I am a goose like no other. If you feed me and take care of me, I will lay golden eggs for you.”
“Can this be true ” the man wondered. “Since this goose can talk, perhaps it can lay golden eggs, too. I will give it a chance (机会).” So the man took the goose home and fed it the last food in his kitchen, even though he had to go to bed hungry that night.
As soon as he woke up the next morning, the man rushed over to the goose. Under the goose he found a large, shiny egg made of gold. He took the egg to the market and sold it for lots of money. When he came home, his arms were full of food, including good food for the goose.
Each day, the goose laid another golden egg and the man sold it. Before long, the man was very rich, yet he wanted to become even richer. “Why should I spend so much money on food for the goose ” he asked himself. He decided to cut the goose open and get all the golden eggs at once.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个穷人和一只鹅的故事，告诉我们：如果我们总是想要更多，那我们可能会失去我们所拥有的。
29.词义猜测题。根据第一段的描述可知，他是个穷人，运气好的时候能赚点钱吃顿小餐；再根据第二段中的“Tonight my stomach will be full.”可知，他抓到鹅之后今晚胃会被填满，可推测“hearty”意思应与“small”相反，即：large。故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Do not eat me!’ cried the goose. ‘I am a goose like no other. If you feed me and take care of me, I will lay golden eggs for you.’”及第四段中的“‘Can this be true ’ the man wondered. ‘Since this goose can talk, perhaps it can lay golden eggs, too. I will give it a chance (机会).’”可知，鹅会下金蛋，那么这个穷人就可能由此变得有钱，所以他就把鹅带回了家。故选C。
31.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“So the man took the goose home and fed it the last food in his kitchen, even though he had to go to bed hungry that night.”可知，他把他最后的食物喂了鹅，对应c；根据第五段中的“Under the goose he found a large, shiny egg made of gold.”可知，他在鹅下面发现了一个金蛋，对应b；根据第五段最后“When he came home, his arms were full of food, including good food for the goose.”可知，他也给鹅买了一些好吃的，对应d；根据最后一段中的“The man cut the goose open and found no golden eggs.”可知，他把鹅切开（杀掉），什么也没发现，对应a。所以正确的顺序是：c—b—d—a，故选B。
32.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了一个穷人和一只鹅的故事，告诉我们：如果我们总是想要更多，那我们可能会失去我们所拥有的。A项符合，故选A。

Have you ever thought about how babies learn to speak For the first months of their lives, they cry and make noises, but children usually start forming(构成) words when they are about 12 months old. Which are the first words they say Sometimes, they are the words they hear most often, sometimes the words for things they like. They usually start with words like mama, papa or dada. Some scientists say that sounds like ma, da, pa and ba are the easiest sounds to make, so when parents are very happy because their child is saying mama, in fact the baby is just experimenting(进行实验) with making noises!
All children begin learning their language first by listening and then speaking. They start with words for objects, like “car” or “dog”, then words for actions, like “drink” or “eat”, slowly adding other kinds of words to make sentences. They can understand more difficult words and sentences, but they can’t say them. Some children speak more than others (just like adults!) and some children speak earlier than others, but by practising, they all learn in the end.
One mother tells the story of her son who didn’t speak until he was four years old. Before then, he pointed when he wanted something or just made strange noises. One day, he came into the kitchen for breakfast and said, “Can I have some chocolate, please ” And then, he never stopped talking.
So when you start to learn another language, remember that it took years for you to learn yours! If you keep listening and trying hard to speak, you improve, just like in your own language.
33. How old are most children when they start to say the first words
A. About 6 months old. B. About one year old. C. About 18 months old. D. About two years old.
34. When children begin language learning, which happens first
A. Speaking. B. Reading. C. Listening. D. Writing.
35. How does the writer explain that learning takes time in Paragraph 3
A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By giving an example. D. By making a survey.
36. What does the underlined word yours refer to
A. Your parents. B. Your language. C. Your children. D. Your lives.
【答案】33. B 34. C 35. C 36. B
【解析】本文主要介绍了婴儿是如何学习说话的。

35.细节理解题。根据“One mother tells the story of her son who didn’t speak until he was four years old.”可知第三段是通过列举一个母亲的例子解释学习需要时间，故选C。
36.词义猜测题。根据“So when you start to learn another language, remember that it took years for you to learn yours”（因此，当您开始学习另一种语言时，请记住，您花了数年时间才学会自己的语言）可知yours指的是“你的语言”，故选B。

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice. As a kind of material, paper is widely considered to be greener than plastic. However, it may come as a surprise when we find out the truth.
Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as we all know, can reduce carbon dioxide (减少二氧化碳) levels in the air. They can slow down climate (气候) change. The use of more paper bags can lead to more acts of cutting down trees.
Secondly, products made of paper require more energy and water. About 10% more energy and four times more water are used to produce a paper bag than to make a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand-new paper bag.
Thirdly, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more oil to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while to transport the same number of plastic bags, one truck is enough. Once the bags are thrown away, the increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste.
So, paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are harmful to our planet, as well as the plastic ones. Is there anything we can do to protect our planet
The most environment-friendly solution is to avoid single-use products. Products like glass bottles and steel straws can be reused easily. They are much more eco-friendly(对生态环境友好的) than either paper products or plastic ones. By increasing the usage of these products, we can greatly reduce the throw-away waste in our daily life and save more resources. If so, we can truly make our planet greener!
How to make our planet greener
Introduction It is not ____56____ that using paper instead of plastic will be greener.
Explanations: why using paper products isn’t a good way ____57____ more acts of cutting down trees. Trees can slow down climate change by ____58____ carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Require more energy and water. *____59____ a paper bag takes about 10% more energy and four times more water than a plastic one. *Making a brand-new paper bag takes ____60____ energy and water than going through the recycling process. Require more oil to transport *Transporting two million paper bags needs ____61____ times as many trucks as transporting the same number of plastic ones. *The increased weight also leads to much waste once we ____62____ the bags away.
Conclusion Paper products are actually a lose-lose for not only the environment but also businesses. Using ____63____ products does harm to environment, as well as plastic ones.
____64____ Avoiding single-use products is the most environment-friendly way. We can use products like glass water bottles and steel straws _____65_____ of plastic ones. Reducing the throw-away waste can help save more resources.

62. throw 63. paper 64. Solutions##Ways##Advice##suggestions 65. instead
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了纸质产品产品并不环保，应该使用玻璃瓶和钢吸管来代替塑料制品。
56.根据“However, it may come as a surprise when we find out the truth. Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees…”并结合文章内容可知，用纸制品也会带来很多环境问题，所以纸制品比塑料更环保不是事实。故填true。
57.根据“…more acts of cutting down trees”可知，该句是祈使句，缺少动词原形，根据“The use of more paper bags can lead to more acts of cutting down trees.”可知，使用更多的纸袋会导致更多的砍伐树木的行为，cause“引起”，句首单词首字母大写。故填Cause。
58.根据“Trees, as we all know, can reduce carbon dioxide (减少二氧化碳) levels in the air.”可知，树木可以降低空气中的二氧化碳，by doing sth“通过做某事”，reducing“减少，降低”。故填reducing。
59.根据“About 10% more energy and four times more water are used to produce a paper bag than to make a plastic one.”可知，生产一个纸袋要比生产一个塑料纸袋多消耗大约10%的能源和四倍多的水。produce/make“生产、制作”，空处缺少动名词作主语，故填Producing/Making。
60.根据“However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand-new paper bag.”可知，制作一个全新的纸袋比循环利用过程需要更少的能源和水，less“更少”，故填less。
61.根据“Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while to transport the same number of plastic bags, one truck is enough.”可知，运输200万个纸袋所需的卡车数量是运输同样数量的塑料袋的7倍。故填seven/7。
62.根据“Once the bags are thrown away, the increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste.”可知，塑料袋一旦被扔掉，增加的重量也会导致大量的浪费。throw away“扔掉”。故填throw。
63.根据“paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are harmful to our planet, as well as the plastic ones.”可知，使用纸质产品也会对环境有害，故填paper。
64.根据空处对应的表格右侧的内容，可知，这段讲述的是方法、策略或是建议。句首单词首字母大写。Solutions/Ways“方法、方案”；Advice/suggestions“意见、建议”。故填Solutions/Ways/Advice/suggestions。
