A)请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
We all know that the environment is important to us all. We should always protect it from pollution. There is a discussion on the Internet about the best ways to protect the environment.
David (A farmer) I think the best way to protect the environment is to plant more trees. Trees can make the air cleaner and make our city look nicer.
Frank (A bank clerk) I usually use natural things and try to recycle things as much as possible. When I go shopping, I usually use a basket instead of plastic bags.
Sally (A housewife) Driving is one cause of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself a question, “Do I really need my car ” Walk or use your bike if the trip is a short one. So in my opinion, walking or riding a bike is a good way to protect the environment.
Helen ( A doctor) I think water is the most valuable thing. If we don't save water, it could run out. So I often shorten (缩短) my shower time and turn off the running water after washing my hands. And I ask my daughter Lisa and my son John to do so.
We can do far more than these things in our daily life. Please protect the environment from small things. If you have any other good suggestions, please call us.
( )55.Where does the discussion happen
A.In the newspaper.
B.On the Internet.

Squirrels (松鼠) are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That's where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.
Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞).
Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!
Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to (趋向于) bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.
When they need the food, squirrels use their memories and sense of smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you'll even see them digging through the snow.
Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.
When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.
That's why you'll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.
( )58.What is the theme of the passage
A.Education. B.Animals.
C.Plants. D.Space.
( )59.What won't squirrels do to get ready for winter
A.Storing leaves to keep warm.
B.Looking for nuts and seeds.
C.Finding holes in trees.
D.Digging holes in the ground.
( )60.Why do squirrels spend a lot of time in trees
A.Because they can keep warm in trees.
B.Because they can find bird food there.
C.Because their favorite food is there.
D.Because they can find insects there.
( )61.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Squirrels do not eat any other animals.
B.Squirrels sleep all the time during winter.
C.Squirrels plant young trees when spring comes.
D.Squirrels sometimes forget to find all the buried nuts.
( )62.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.What are squirrels like
B.How do squirrels spend winter
C.Where do squirrels bury food
D.Why do squirrels store food for winter

Students from an Australian school will soon bring home more than just their homework at the end of each day. They will take their rubbish, too. Melbourne Girls' College decided to make a new rule this school year. It aims to create a zero-waste environment.
The headmaster of the school says the rule is trying to raise the consciousness (意识) of all the students. “If we can get that message through our students to their families or communities, then it's going to have a knock-on effect (撞击效应),” the headmaster said in an interview.
The school will stop using all its dustbins in classrooms and the yard. Both students and their teachers will have to take the rubbish like chip packets and juice boxes home. The rubbish that is taken home may still go to landfill (垃圾填埋场) through their home bins, but the new rule will help get families to buy fewer packaged things and reuse containers. If children bring “zero waste” lunch boxes, they will be rewarded (奖励). For example, if they use only reusable packaging, they will win prizes such as coffee cups.
According to the headmaster, the no-bins idea comes from national park guidelines, which ask visitors to take rubbish home with them. It's clear that everyone is encouraged to move towards zero waste.
( )63.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A.The new rule. B.Their rubbish.
C.The school. D.The day.
( )64.Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “ ” in Paragraph 2.
A.Students will take a school bus instead of taking a car.
B.We need to protect our environment as well as possible.
C.Maybe students can make a great influence to their parents.
D.It's expected that the ideas of reusing and recycling will stick with them.
( )65.What place do the students have to take their rubbish to
A.The landfill. B.Their neighborhoods.
C.The classrooms. D.Their homes.
( )66.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
( )67.The passage is most probably from .
A.a medicine book B.a cookbook
C.A newspaper D.a story book
D
I'm Grace Cortese, and I'm 16 years old. I believe I can make a difference in protecting the environment, because my science teacher, Mrs. Esby, tells us that there are many things we can do to help protect the environment if we are willing to change our habits.
Every year at my birthday party, I ask for charitable donations (慈善捐赠) instead of gifts. When I was eight, I asked my friends to donate to the National Resources Defense Council to save the polar bears. I raised almost $150. Last year, my friend, Mary, also did that. Imagine how much money we could raise to save the environment if everyone asked for charitable donations for their birthdays!
My whole school is doing things to help protect the earth, too. Our school makes a carpooling program to reduce the number of cars on the road, and we have a “Walk to School” day once a year. My science teacher, Mrs. Esby, has a “Teenie Greenies” club at lunch and she teaches a class on how to recycle after school. And we also do beach clean-up.
If you want to do something for the environment, look through the website Grades of Green. It is fond of great ideas for us to reduce, reuse and recycle waste, and it also has a lot of really interesting facts.
( )68.What is Grace Cortese
A.A guide. B.A cook.
C.A student. D.A teacher.
( )69.What organization may the National Resources Defense Council be about
A.Protecting the animals.
B.Helping the homeless people.
C.Giving out the food.
D.Planting trees and grass.
( )70.What does the underlined words “makes a carpooling”in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Buys a ticket. B.Gives up dreams.
C.Creates a club. D.Shares a car.
( )71.How often is the “Walk to School” day held
A.Once a month. B.Once a year.
C.Twice a year. D.Every three years.
( )72.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Special birthday gifts
B.Look through our website
C.How to protect the animals
D.How to celebrate the birthday
B)请阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中,使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。
“Beep, beep,” goes the car horn (喇叭). You've got dressed, but you've not had time to eat breakfast. You run out of the front door swinging (摇摆) your school backpack, and jump into the waiting car. Inside, your friends say “hey” as one of their parents drives you to school. 73.________
Car pools (拼车) are a common way of transportation for many students in the USA. You, along with many of your friends can fit in the car, and share the journey to school each day. 74.________
What can you do in the car 75.________ If you're behind on your homework, this is your last chance to finish it before class. Some students simply add to their sleep time before classes begin.
Besides walking or cycling to class, car pools are energy efficient (节能的) if you can't take the school bus. Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day, they can all squeeze (挤) into one. 76.________
More importantly, car pooling teaches students valuable life lessons which are not taught in class. It can teach students about the social responsibility of being on time. 77.________ If you're late, then all of your friends will be late too.

One Possible Version:
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world.
With the development of the society, there are too many cars on the streets in our city. Cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe. Black smoke is given off by factories. Factories also put waste into the river. And wherever we go, we can find rubbish.
Now more and more people have realized these problems. I think that government should close down the factories and make laws to stop people from driving cars every day. I suggest everyone in our country should help to clean up the rivers and the streets. We should ask the people in the town to throw rubbish in the dustbins.
I hope the problems will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
