People have worried about air pollution for many years，and the government has spent lots of money trying to clean up the air of big cities.But now we found that we are still breathing unhealthy air.A study shows: Indoor air pollution is almost two to five times worse than outside pollution.So remember to open the windows and don't stay too long in modern buildings with windows closed.

A deadly heat wave(热浪) has happened in parts of India this year.Temperatures in parts of the country during the past few days have hit 48℃ in some areas.Over 1，100 people have been dead.
Very hot weather is common in many parts of the world.Although hot weather just makes most people hot，it can cause medical problems and death.
Floods，storms and other terrible natural events(事件) kill thousands of people every year.And we hear much about them in news reports.We hear little about heat，which experts(专家) say may be nature's most dangerous killer.
Health experts say that since the year 1900，very hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event.The unusual hot summer of 1980 heat caused about 1，700 deaths in the United States.In 1995，more than 600 people died in another heat wave in one city——Chicago，Illinois.
Besides drinking lots of cool water，doctors say there are some other things to do to protect against the health dangers of heat.Stay out of the sun，if possible.Wear loose and light colored clothes.Wear a hat while in the sun.Eat fewer hot and heavy foods.And when possible，cook foods during cooler time of the day.If possible，rest more often.
Health experts say these simple steps can stop the dangerous health problems caused by heat.They will stop sickness，help you feel better and may even save your life.

内容要点： 1.环保措施和美化城市的措施(各2条)；

要求：1.文章整体连贯，语句通顺；

七、书面表达。
假如你是某中学的学生会主席王东，为了配合环保教育主题活动，请根据下面所给提示，用英语写一封倡议书。
Dear friends，
In order to make the environment more beautiful，we should do what we can to protect it.First，we should plant more trees and flowers to make our city more beautiful.Also，always remember not to throw rubbish or pour waste water everywhere.As we all know，water is becoming less and less.So it's quite necessary to save water.For example，turn the tap off after washing.Last but not the least，we'd better ride a bike or walk when going out instead of driving a car.
In my opinion，if everyone tries his or her best to protect the environment，our city will become nicer and cleaner!
Thank you!

解题微技巧指导
1.B 【解析】 本小题考查被动语态的用法。主语everything和动词use构成了被动关系，因此是被动语态。
2.A 【解析】本小题考查代词的用法。another和the other都有“另一个”的意思，但含义和使用场合不同。another是泛指不定数目中的“另一个”；the other特指两个事物中的“另一个”。根据句意“当一个动物死亡时，它便成了另一个动物的食物”，这里的另一个动物并不是在特定范围内的，因此用another。
3.B 【解析】 本小题考查动词短语的词义辨析。lie down意为“躺下”；break down意为“分解”；put down意为“放下”。根据句意“人们已经生产了像塑料袋之类的不能被大自然分解的东西”可知，答案应为B。
4.A 【解析】 本小题考查名词的用法。根据第5空后的：“...we continue making rubbish...，”可知，此处应为rubbish。
5.C 【解析】 本小题考查连词的用法。本句意为“……我们继续产生垃圾，问题只会更糟”，前句是后句的假设情况，因此，答案应为if。
6.B 【解析】 本小题考查代词的用法。根据句意“如果大自然不能重新利用这些垃圾，我们必须循环利用它”可知，这里的代词指代上文的rubbish一词，是不可数名词，因此应选it。
二、阅读理解。
细节的理解
【技巧点拨】
细节题又叫细节认定题，该题型要求考生对文章中的特定细节或具体事实进行判断认定。
一般来说，此类题目多属直接解答性问题，是中考阅读的四个题型中难度最小的一种。细节题常见的提问方式有以下几种：
1.针对文章的某一细节对具体内容提问。
2.针对文章的某一细节进行简单的计算。
3.针对文章的某一细节进行识图。
4.针对文章的某一细节进行排序。
5.针对文章的某一细节进行正、误判断。
从以上的命题方式我们可以看出，细节题针对文章某一细节进行提问，一般情况下答案可以在文中直接找到。这就要求考生在解题时，在初步了解文章大意的基础上，能够根据问题迅速地抓住题干中的关键词，搜索相关信息，找出正确答案。

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11，I got into the biggest trouble as a kid.It was a Saturday morning.Both my parents were out，leaving me and my 10 month old sister alone.Anyway，my sister was still asleep in her room.In fact I had the house to myself.I decided to do some drawing.Soon I gave up.Nothing was on TV，so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf...I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper Well，of course it went on fire，but it wasn't the tiny flame(火焰)I'd expected，and I couldn't blow it out.I threw it on the floor，and then luckily got my dad's boots(靴子)and stamped it out.
When my mom came home later，she smelt the smoke immediately...However，after running round the house checking for a fire，she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole.Next I was grounded(关禁闭)and in trouble for months.Even though，the hole was still there，reminding me of what I did.

How to save
Our government is aiming to build an “economized society”(节约型社会).It is our duty to work hard to achieve this goal.As students，we should do something to help.
First，we'd better save more water，paper and electricity.Next，we should take our own bags when shopping instead of using plastic bags from supermarkets.Then we don't waste food.We'd better eat up all the food when we have meals.And don't throw the uneaten food everywhere.Finally，we'd better go to school on foot or ride a bike instead of taking a car.
In a word，I think one thing we should keep in mind is that no matter what a small effort we make，it does make a big difference.

Dear teachers and students,
“APEC blue” is a popular phrase which describes how blue the sky was in Beijing during the APEC week. How strongly we hope to make “APEC blue” a “forever blue”！ But as we see, haze has long been a serious problem and it has done great harm to our daily life. For example，many traffic accidents have happened and some people have to wear masks while going out. What can we do to help the environment In my opinion, we can go to school in a green way. We can walk or ride a bike if possible. And we should use no plastic bags or use them less. Besides, we should protect the trees around us and plant more. I believe if we all take action, we'll make a difference.
That's all. Thank you for listening.
