When my son Ryan was six years old and in first grade, his teacher, Nancy, talked to his class about developing countries and how they could help people, particularly children, in other parts of the world. She explained that besides not having toys or enough food, some of them didn’t even have clean water. For these children sitting in their comfortable classroom in Kemptville, Ontario, the idea of children not having any toys, or enough food or water, had a huge impact.
The principal had distributed a list that showed the costs of buying supplies in developing countries. A penny would buy a pencil, a dollar a hot meal, two dollars a blanket. Seventy dollars would buy a well. When Ryan heard people died because they didn’t have clean water, he was deeply affected. He came home that day and insisted he needed seventy dollars for class.
Mark and I discussed it, then explained to Ryan that seventy dollars was a lot of money. If he was really interested in doing something, however, he could earn it. He happily agreed, so we put an old cookie tin on top of the refrigerator and started giving him chores. He did chores for the neighbours and his grandparents, too. After four months, Ryan was nearing his goal.
In April 1998 we went for our meeting with WaterCan, a Canadian nonprofit organization providing clean water to people in developing countries. And Ryan brought his cookie tin full of money. Nicole, the director, and Helen, her assistant, thanked him and told him how important his donation was. Then they told us it would cost a lot more than $70 to build a well — in fact, it would cost $2,000.
Ryan wasn’t concerned and replied simply, “That’s okay. I’ll just do more chores!” News about what Ryan was doing got out, and soon we were getting calls from the media.When the Ottawa Citizen did a story on Ryan’s well, we began to receive donations at least once a week. People from all over were catching Ryan’s dream and were inspired to give.
24. What inspired Ryan to help kids in developing countries

A. He planned to donate 70$ to a charity.
B. He intended to pay for a well for the kids.

D. He wanted to buy blankets and pencils for the kids.
26. What happened after the Ottawa Citizen did a story on Ryan’s well
A. Donations were received once a month.
B. People were inspired to give a helping hand.
C. Ryan did more chores and donated more money.
D. The media called Ryan and his family frequently.

The Duanwu Festival, which is also known as Dragon Boat Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese traditional festivals, which also include the Moon Festival and the Chinese New Year.
The story of this festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman named Qu Yuan, who was a good and respected man. According to a legend (传说), Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mil o River, which is in Hunan Province, on the fifth day of the fifth month in the year 278 B. C. E. The people, who lived in the area, rushed out and jumped into their boats to search for him, but in vain. Although they were unable to find Qu Yuan, this tradition of boat racing has remained unbroken for centuries. The boat racing, which also symbolizes (代表) the people’s attempt to save Qu Yuan then, demonstrates (证实) the Chinese virtues (美德) of cooperation and team work now.
Another activity of the festival, which also related to Qu Yuan, is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Zongzi. When it became known that Qu Yuan was gone forever, people threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice (祭品) to their dead hero. Now, the Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event, which gives us an opportunity to glimpse (看见) a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage (遗产).
28. What is the reason behind the tradition of boat racing during the Duanwu Festival
A. to celebrate the arrival of summer.
B. to mark the beginning of the rice planting season.

One e-toy for every person on Earth — that’s the surprising amount of electric trains talking dolls, and other children’s devices thrown away every year. People usually consider electronic waste from computers, smartphones, and TVs to be e-waste, but they may not realize that “nontraditional” e-waste materials like power tools, LED lights, USB cables and countless other similar, also need special recycling. In all, people across the world throw out about 9 billion kilograms of e-waste commonly not recognized as such by people.
This “invisible e-waste” is the main focus of the sixth annual International E-Waste Day on October 14, organized by Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum. According to the findings, for example, the total weight of all USB cables thrown away every year equals 6 Eiffel Towers. Meanwhile, if all this invisible electronic waste were packed into trucks, it could fill half a million 40-ton trucks, enough to cause a long traffic jam covering about 3,504 miles.
“People are familiar with common e-waste. But many invisible e-waste are ignored. How to have them recycled remains a big problem.” Pascal Leroy, Director-General of the WEEE Forum, said in a statement. Pascal Leroy asks that instead of throwing them away, people should take it to the local recycling facility. He says that a lot of electronic waste is right around us, and we need to raise awareness about this issue. He also refers to past campaigns that successfully made people more aware of plastic pollution and believes the same can happen with e-waste awareness.
32. Which of the following belongs to the "invisible e-waste"
A. Smartphones. B. Computers. C. Talking toys. D. USB cables.
33. Why does the author mention Eiffel Tower in paragraph 2
A. To make the number exaggerated. B. To show the destination of the wastes.
C. To prove it also has the same problems. D. To give a vivid description of the large amount.
34. What’s Pascal Leroy’s attitude towards public e-waste awareness
A. Hopeful. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Recycle or Not That’s a Problem
B. New Electrical Wastes that Go Unnoticed
C. The Shocking Amount of Electronic Products
D. The Focus of the Sixth International E-waste Day

67. 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。
Mr. Ward couldn’t stand students cheating the most. Whenever there was an exam, he watched very closely, making sure no act of cheating was neglected, and any student who cheated would be seriously punished.
I remember many times after tests, Mr. Ward found that the students sitting around me had better scores than the others and the further away a student was from me, the worse his grade. Mr. Ward suspected that some of the juniors “accidentally” got some of my answers. So he and I had a very interesting talk about cheating.
Mr. Ward once told me of some of the ways students tried to cheat. Student A intentionally “dropped” his pencil an unusually far distance from his desk. Then he stood up and walked slowly across the room to take it back. On the way, he glanced at the papers. Student B got a piece of paper and wrote down all the formulas (公式) on a tiny bit of paper taped to the inside of the kid’s palm. These incidents weren’t very rare.
The last day of the entire school year, all I had left was my math exam and there seemed to be some definite tension in the air because this was the biggest test of the year. I saw some kids trying to do some last minute studying, some trying to calm themselves down by breathing slowly and some saying a silent prayer.
Mr. Ward went to the front and started handing out the tests by rows. After explaining the rules of the test, he said very clearly, “If you cheat, I will take your test and tear it up. You will get a 0 for the biggest grade of the year.” Mr. Ward moved very effortlessly and efficiently about the room and during every test he went into a sort of RADAR mode. He sat at the front and watched the room for anything that might look like cheating. During this RADAR mode, if you were cheating, you would be caught. Guaranteed.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Our test started and we were sitting there busy working on our papers.

66. Dear Friends,
I’m Li Hua, from Class 8. I’m giving this speech today to call on everyone to take part in the Clear Your Plate campaign. It urges people to save food by not wasting anything on the dining table. By fighting food waste, we can make significant progress towards a low-carbon lifestyle and green actions. In order to save food, I propose: First, do not order more than you need in the school canteen. Second, order less and take leftover food home when dining in restaurants. Third, call on family members and friends to take part in the campaign.
Together, let’s show commitment to a sustainable future. Thank you.

Our test started and we were sitting there busy working on our papers. Given the importance of the test, all students put in a lot of effort to write down their answers. I was relieved when I finished it easily. With 15 minutes left, I carefully checked my answers. Then I put down my pencil and looked around. At that time, I noticed something peculiar. I was surprised to see a kid stretching his neck to sneak a look at other students’ answers. He was cheating! I was unsure of what to do when I saw Mr. Ward looking at the kid with anger in his eyes.
Then Mr. Ward asked the kid he was watching to go to his office. The kid, feeling embarrassed and scared, slowly moved into the office. In front of the stern Mr. Ward, the kid stood still and silent, his head hanging low and his body shaking uncontrollably. Eventually, he was overwhelmed with guilt, tears of regret streaming down his face. In a tearful voice, he confessed to cheating in the test. Mr. Ward’s expression softened slightly. He gently patted the kid’s head and said seriously, “Honesty is the most important thing!” The kid nodded in understanding. Despite receiving a failing grade, the kid learned a valuable lesson about honesty.
