A
Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has many new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution.
The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When people used up the land or the river was dirty in one place, they moved to another place. Humans (人类) are now polluting the whole world.
Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, drink it and even hear it. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world. The pollution of SO2, is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It comes from heavy transportation (交通) . Water pollution kills our fish and makes our drinking water dirty. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
21.Life now is ________ than it was hundreds of years ago.
A.more difficult B.more comfortable C.more terrible D.more interesting
22.Why was the pollution not so serious many years ago
A.The population in the world was not so large.
B.There wasn’t so much waste in the past.
C.The people in the past knew how to protect environment.
D.The earth was cleaner many years ago.

From chicken feet socks to sad frog toys, “ugly” products have become popular among young people. On the social media platform Douban, there is a group called the Society for the Protection of Ugly Things with more than 200, 000 members. They post “ugly things” they see and buy in daily life.
Some museums have also followed the trend and produced many “ugly” but interesting cultural and creative products. For example, on June 14, 2022, the Gansu Provincial Museum brought out a toy. It’s based on the famous bronze sculpture（青钢雕塑）, known as Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow（马踏飞燕）. The toy recreates the sculpture in a cute and cartoon style. This makes the toy more fashionable and more fun.
In fact, some of the “ugly” products can be useful. Yin Peixin, 11, from Hubei has a cabbage dog toy. Unlike others, she doesn’t find it ugly. “It’s creative by mixing cabbage with a dog. The toy makes me feel better when I’m upset. It also serves as a mini pillow to help me have a good sleep,” said Yin.
According to Zhang Lei, a professor at Zhejiang University of Technology, the rise in the popularity of ugly things means that young people want to show that they’re different. They hope to get pleasure and a new taste of life from something a little more “ugly”.
24.What do the members of the Society for the Protection of Ugly Things do
A.They sell “ugly” things. B.They create “ugly” products. C.They post “ugly things” online.
25.What does the underlined word “trend” probably mean in Chinese
A.潮流 B.榜样 C.习俗
26.How does the cabbage dog toy help Yin Peixin
A.By encouraging her to be creative.
B.By cheering her up when she is down.
C.By helping her have a good rest between classes.
27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Young people can draw attention by buying “ugly” things.
B.“Ugly” products become more popular among young people.
C.The toy from the Gansu Provincial Museum mixes dog with bird.
C
In December 2021, people in Shenzhen found that water ran more slowly from their taps. The government said the city was facing its most serious water shortage ever.
Some other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty”, the Paper pared with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes. So why are they still short on water
In big cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It’s 1/12 of the country’s average. According to the United Nations, it is an “absolute (绝对) water shortage” when the number is below 500 cubic meters.
Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example, most cities in Guangdong depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there’s also less snow in the mountains of Tibet. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future.
There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently. Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea.
28.The writer call these cities “thirsty” because ________.
A.they have wasted too much water B.they use more water than other cities
C.they have few lakes and rivers D.they are short on water
29.The amount of water each person has in Shenzhen each year _________.
A.meets the UN’s standards B.is higher than the country’s average
C.shows that the city’s water problem is serious D.is the same as other parts of China
30.According to Paragraph 4, what is the reason for less water in China’s rivers
A.People are using up the water in these rivers.
B.The rivers flow through many areas with less rain.
C.Mountains in Tibet have less snow.
D.Most water goes to the sea before people can get it.
31.Which of the following is NOT mentioned for the water shortage in the last paragraph
A.Water pollution. B.Wasting water. C.Lack of storing place. D.Climate change.
D
You don’t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change — and he’s inviting bikers to join him.
Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog (雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company to create a new product for public use. It’s an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker’s face.
It’s no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it’s common for thick clouds of haze (霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions (排放物), to cover areas of China.
In 2016, only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country’s air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
“Of course one tower and a few bikes won’t solve China’s air pollution problem,” Daan said, “But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities.”
32.According to the writer, ________.
A.air pollution is not a big problem in China
B.creative ideas may help improve city life
C.only scientists can solve big environmental problems
D.the survey of 338 cities nationwide was not necessary
33.The air-cleaning machine offers clean air to the biker by ________.
A.blowing out dirty air B.running fast with the bike
C.cleaning the air around the biker D.breathing in dirty air and cleaning it
34.From the passage, we know that ________.
A.people who have creative ideas can get free bikes
B.only smog-free bikes can go on the shining bicycle path
C.Daan and his family spent all their time improving China’s air quality
D.China’s haze in winter happens because of more than three causes
35.Daan is inviting bikers to join him in order to ________.
A.raise money for the tower
B.test his new machine
C.help solve the air pollution problem
D.make more Chinese friends

Should we recycle textbooks
Last Wednesday afternoon, our class discussed if we should recycle textbooks. Now, let me tell you something about it.
On the one hand, some students in our class agree to recycle textbooks. The reasons are as follows. First of all, recycling textbooks can save paper. Secondly, it can protect the environment. Finally, it can also enhance students’ sense of responsibility. On the other hand, other students are against recycling textbooks. Because it prevents students from marking up books. Another reason is that students can’t make notes on books.
In my opinion, textbooks can be recycled. As long as we have a good system to implement this thing.

【答案】The first time to learn to swim
As we all know, everyone has his unforgettable memories. I still remember the first time to learn to swim.
Last summer vacation, my father took me to the swimming pool in our neighborhood and taught me to swim. It was the first for me to swim. At first, I could not swim at all. My father was very patient. He encouraged me and taught me how to swim. He taught me how to breathe in the water first. Then, He threw me into the deepest part of the swimming pool. I was so frightened that I couldn’t move. But I never gave up. I felt safe with my dad around. Three hours later, with the help of my father, I could swim by myself. Although I couldn't swim very well, I was very happy.
I will never forget this experience, because I not only learned how to swim, but also learned to be brave!
