The
Renaissance
Ⅰ.阅读理解
No
one
is
sure
how
the
ancient
Egyptians
built
the
pyramids
near
Cairo.But
a
new
study
suggests
they
used
a
little
rock‘n’roll.Long?ago
builders
could
have
attached
wooden
poles
to
the
stones
and
rolled
them
across
the
sand,
the
scientists
say.
“Technically,
I
think
what
they're
proposing
is
possible，”
physicist
Daniel
Bonn
said.
People
have
long
puzzled
over
how
the
Egyptians
moved
such
huge
rocks.And
there's
no
obvious
answer.On
average,
each
of
the
two
million
big
stones
weighed
about
as
much
as
a
large
pickup
truck.The
Egyptians
somehow
moved
the
stone
blocks
to
the
pyramid
site
from
about
one
kilometer
away.
The
most
popular
view
is
that
Egyptian
workers
slid
the
blocks
along
smooth
paths.Many
scientists
suspect
workers
first
would
have
put
the
blocks
on
sleds
(滑板)．Then
they
would
have
dragged
them
along
paths.To
make
the
work
easier,
workers
may
have
lubricated_the_paths
either
with
wet
clay
or
with
the
fat
from
cattle.Bonn
has
now
tested
this
idea
by
building
small
sleds
and
dragging
heavy
objects
over
sand.
Evidence
from
the
sand
supports
this
idea.Researchers
found
small
amounts
of
fat,
as
well
as
a
large
amount
of
stone
and
the
remains
of
paths.
However,
physicist
Joseph
West
thinks
there
might
have
been
a
simpler
way,
who
led
the
new
study.West
said,
“I
was
inspired
while
watching
a
television
program
showing
how
sleds
might
have
helped
with
pyramid
construction.I
thought,
‘Why
don't
they
just
try
rolling
the
things？’”A
square
could
be
turned
into
a
rough
sort
of
wheel
by
attaching
wooden
poles
to
its
sides,
he
realized.That,
he
notes,
should
make
a
block
of
stone
“a
lot
easier
to
roll
than
a
square”．
So
he
tried
it.
He
and
his
students
tied
some
poles
to
each
of
four
sides
of
a
30?kilogram
stone
block.That
action
turned
the
block
into
somewhat
a
wheel.Then
they
placed
the
block
on
the
ground.
They
wrapped
one
end
of
a
rope
around
the
block
and
pulled.The
researchers
found
they
could
easily
roll
the
block
along
different
kinds
of
paths.They
calculated
that
rolling
the
block
required
about
as
much
force
as
moving
it
along
a
slippery
(滑的)
path.
West
hasn't
tested
his
idea
on
larger
blocks,
but
he
thinks
rolling
has
clear
advantages
over
sliding.At
least,
workers
wouldn't
have
needed
to
carry
cattle
fat
or
water
to
smooth
the
paths.
没人知道古埃及人如何建造开罗附近的金字塔。一项新的研究表明古埃及人可能是采用“滚动”的方法。
1．It's
widely
believed
that
the
stone
blocks
were
moved
to
the
pyramid
site
by
________.
A．rolling
them
on
roads
B．pushing
them
over
the
sand
C．sliding
them
on
smooth
paths
D．dragging
them
on
some
poles
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。第四段中的“The
most
popular
view
is
that
Egyptian
workers
slid
the
blocks
along
smooth
paths.”告诉我们，很多人认为古埃及人通过光滑的道路滑动巨石。
2．The
underlined
part“lubricated
the
paths”in
Paragraph
4
means
________.
A．made
the
paths
wet
B．made
the
paths
hard
C．made
the
paths
wide
D．made
the
paths
slippery
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。由该短语所在段中的“either
with
wet
clay
or
with
the
fat
from
cattle”可推知，lubricated
the
paths意为“让路变滑”。
3．Why
is
rolling
better
than
sliding
according
to
West?
A．Because
more
force
is
needed
for
sliding.
B．Because
rolling
work
can
be
done
by
fewer
cattle.
C．Because
sliding
on
smooth
roads
is
more
dangerous.
D．Because
less
preparation
on
paths
is
needed
for
rolling.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由最后两段中的“They
calculated
that
rolling
the
block
required
about
as
much
force
as
moving
it
along
a
slippery
(滑的)
path.”“At
least,
workers
wouldn't
have
needed
to
carry
cattle
fat
or
water
to
smooth
the
paths.”可知，用“滚动”的方法所需的准备较少一些。

The
Renaissance
Ⅰ.阅读理解
In
1812，the
year
Charles
Dickens
was
born，there
were
66
novels
published
in
Britain.People
had
been
writing
novels
for
a
century—most
experts
date
the
first
novel
to
Robinson
Crusoe
in
1719—but
nobody
wanted
to
do
it
professionally.The
steam?powered
printing
press
was
still
in
its
early
stages；the
literacy(识字)
rate
in
England
was
under
50%.Many
works
of
fiction
appeared
without
the
names
of
the
authors，often
with
something
like
“By
a
lady.”
Novels，for
the
most
part，were
looked
upon
as
silly,
immoral
or
just
plain
bad.
In
1870，when
Dickens
died，the
world
mourned
him
as
its
first
professional
writer
and
publisher，famous
and
beloved，who
had
led
an
explosion
in
both
the
publication
of
novels
and
their
readership
and
whose
characters—from
Oliver
Twist
to
Tiny
Tim—were
held
up
as
moral
touchstones.Today
Dickens'
greatness
is
unchallenged.Removing
him
from
the
pantheon(名人)
of
English
literature
would
make
about
as
much
sense
as
the
Louvre
selling
off
the
Mona
Lisa.
How
did
Dickens
get
to
the
top？For
all
the
feelings
readers
attach
to
stories，literature
is
a
numbers
game，and
the
test
of
time
is
extremely
difficult
to
pass.Some
60,000
novels
were
published
during
the
Victorian
age，from
1837
to
1901；today
a
casual
reader
might
be
able
to
name
a
half?dozen
of
them.It's
partly
true
that
Dickens'
style
of
writing
attracted
audiences
from
all
walks
of
life.It's
partly
that
his
writings
rode
a
wave
of
social，political
and
scientific
progress.But
it's
also
that
he
rewrote
the
culture
of
literature
and
put
himself
at
the
center.No
one
will
ever
know
what
mix
of
talent，ambition，energy
and
luck
made
Dickens
such
a
distinguished
writer.But
as
the
208th
anniversary
of
his
birth
approaches，it
is
possible—and
important
for
our
own
culture—to
understand
how
he
made
himself
a
lasting
one.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯及其作品是如何奠定他在英国文学中的地位的。
1．Which
of
the
following
best
describes
British
novels
in
the
18th
century?
A．They
were
difficult
to
understand.
B．They
were
popular
among
the
rich.
C．They
were
seen
as
nearly
worthless.
D．They
were
written
mostly
by
women.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Novels，for
the
most
part，were
looked
upon
as
silly，immoral
or
just
plain
bad.”可知，那时多半的小说被认为是没头脑的、有悖道德的或糟糕透顶的。故C项“它们被认为几乎是没有价值的”与原文相符。
2．Dickens
is
compared
with
the
Mona
Lisa
in
the
text
to
stress________.
A．his
reputation
in
France
B．his
interest
in
modern
art
C．his
success
in
publication
D．his
importance
in
literature
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Removing
him
from
the
pantheon(名人)
of
English
literature
would
make
about
as
much
sense
as
the
Louvre
selling
off
the
Mona
Lisa.”可知，把他从英国文学的名人中移除就跟卢浮宫廉价出售《蒙娜丽莎》的感觉一样，可见狄更斯在英国文学史上的重要性，由此可推知D项正确。
3．What
is
the
author's
purpose
in
writing
the
text?
A．To
remember
a
great
writer.
B．To
introduce
an
English
novel.
C．To
encourage
studies
on
culture.
D．To
promote
values
of
the
Victorian
age.
答案：A
解析：写作意图题。文章介绍了查尔斯·狄更斯在英国文学中的地位以及他是如何获此殊荣的，以此来纪念查尔斯·狄更斯这位伟大作家。

to
Lose
Fat
Are
you
interested
in
losing
your
body
fat
to
look
slimmer?
This
article
concentrates
on
losing
fat,
not
weight
or
muscle.You
will
naturally
look
slimmer,
and
be
and
feel
more
healthy
and
attractive.__1__
Steps
1．Do
proper
exercise.These
are
exercises
that
get
your
heart
rate
as
high
as
possible
and
burn
fat.__2__
Doing
at
least
one
hour
of
cardio
(有氧运动)
every
day
along
with
one
hour
of
strength
training
a
few
days
per
week
is
the
best
habit.This
will
make
you
lose
fat
faster,
combined
with
muscle
exercise
and
a
healthy,
low?fat
diet.
2．__3__
Eating
whole,
unprocessed
foods
is
the
best
way
to
not
take
in
too
much
fat.This
means
eating
foods
that
are
in
their
natural
state
such
as
fruit
and
vegetables.Buy
raw
foods
and
cook
meat
yourself,
with
plant
oil.Protein
(蛋白质)
helps
gain
muscles.You
can
find
protein
in
foods
like
milk,
fish,
beef
and
eggs.Get

vegetables.__4__
3．Watch
what
you
drink.Don't
drink
soda,
alcohol
and

juice
all
the
time,
since
these
drinks
contain
a
lot
of
“empty

you
to
put
on
unnecessary
weight.Green
tea
is
good,
healthy
choice.__5__

wake
up—it
is
said
to
make
you

include
running,
jogging,
swimming,
etc.

on
if
you
are
interested
in
obtaining
all
of
these
advantages!
E．This
will
make
you
eat
less
fattening
food,
thus
making
you
slimmer.

going
on
a
diet,
you
should
consult
with
your

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Australians
have
been
warned
they
face
a
life
or
death
decision
over
their
water—drink
recycled
sewage
(污水)
or
die.
With
the
drought
(干旱)
continuing,
the
country
is
set
to
be
forced
to
use
purified
(净化的)
waste
water
for
drinking,
even
though
there
is
great
opposition
to
the
measure.
Queensland
has
become
the
first
state
to
introduce
the
policy
after
a
warning
from
its
Premier.
“I
think
in
the
end,
because
of
the
drought,
all
of
Australia
is
going
to
end
up
drinking
recycled
purified
water，”
said
Peter
Beattie.
“These
are
difficult
decisions,
but
you
either
drink
water
or
you
die.There's
no
choice.It's
liquid
gold.It's
a
matter
of
life
and
death.”
Beattie
said
Australia's
second
largest
state
would
become
the
first
to
use
recycled
water
for
drinking.
Water
is
recycled
in
Britain
and
parts
of
northern
Europe
along
with
the
US
and
Israel.
But
Australians
have
never
liked
the
idea.
To
try
to
change
the
way
Australians
think,
Prime
Minister
John
Howard
and
Environment
Minister
Malcolm
Turnbull
have
adhered_to
Queensland's
move.
“I
am
very
strongly
for
recycling
and
Mr
Beattie
is
right
and
I
agree
with
him
completely，”
Howard
said.
“Australian
cities,
all
now
facing
water
shortages
because
of
the
worst
drought
on
record,
must
start
to
use

water，”
added
Turnbull.“All
of
our
big
cities
have
to
widen
the
range
of
water

本文是一篇新闻报道。持续干旱让澳大利亚人面临生与死的抉择，并且具体介绍了他们不得不饮用循环水来渡过难关。
1．What
is
the
text

recycled
sewage.
B．Australians
face
the
choice
of
life
and
death.
C．Premier
Beattie
is
worried
about
his
people's
health.
D．We

drinking
recycled
water
to
keep
healthy.
答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。文章第一、二段指出本文的主题：持续干旱将使澳大利亚人被迫饮用循环水。下文具体介绍了澳大利亚不得不采取这项措施渡过难关，故A项切题。
2．According
to
the
passage,
which
of
the
following
is
TRUE?
A．Nobody
disagrees
to
the
idea
of
drinking
recycled
purified
water.

but
Australia
decide
to
drink
recycled
water.
D．The
drought
is
the
worst
one
in
the
droughts
recorded
in
Australian
history.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段中“Australian
cities,
all
now
facing
water
shortages
because
of
the
worst
drought
on
record,
must
start
to
use
recycled
water”可知D项表述正确。
3．The
underlined
phrase
“adhered
to”
in
Paragraph
9
probably
means
________.
A．disliked
B．gone
against
C．supported
D．doubted
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。由下文“I
am
very
strongly
for
recycling
and
Mr
Beattie
is
right
and
I
agree
with
him
completely”中的
am
very
strongly
for
和
agree
with
可知，adhered
to
的意思为“支持；同意”。故选C项。Module

W：Where
shall
we
go
for
our
next
holiday?
I
enjoyed
our
stay
in
the
mountains
last
year.
M：I
like
beach
and
city
holidays
as
well,
but
I
have
received
an
offer
online
for
a
discount
on
last
year's
destination.
W：I
think
we
should
take
up
the
offer.

M：Listen.I
don't
care
about
which
washing
machine
is
prettier,
or
which
one
costs
more.I
just
want
something
that
will
last.
W：I
understand.Then
I
would
recommend
the
more
expensive
one,
because
it
comes
with
a
two?year
guarantee.

M：Oh,
no!
Look
what
happened
to
my
new
shoes!
Now
what
am
I
going
to
wear?
W：I
told
you
not
to
wear
those
in
this
weather.Don't
worry.I'll
drive
you
home
so
you
can
change
them.

W：What
does
it
mean
in
sports
terms
when
someone
says
“best?of?three”？
M：It
means
the
first
person
or
team
to
win
two
games
wins
the
competition
or
match.
W：Oh.So,
“best?of?five”
must
mean
the
first
person
or
team
to
win
three.

M：This
is
so
confusing.Why
can't
they
just
make
these
instructions
a
little
easier
to
understand?
W：Don't
ask
me.The
last
time
I
tried
to
put
something
together
I
broke
it.Why
don't
you
look
online?

M：I
just
saw
the
silliest
show
on
TV
last
night.It
was
one
of
those
new
reality
TV
shows.
W：Oh,
you're
watching
The
Bachelor,
too?
M：Is
that
the
one
about
a
bunch
of
people
trying
to
find
true
love？That's
so
fake!
W：Whatever!
I
think
it's
better
than
that
Survivor
TV
show
you
watch.
M：No
way.Well,
I
guess
we'll
have
to
agree
to
disagree.There's
no
point
in
talking
about
it.
W：I
think
you're
right.So,
let's
watch
something
we'll
both
like
completely.We
can
watch
that
show
where
people
sing
and
dance
and
do
crazy
performances.
M：That's
exactly
what
I
was
thinking.

M：Hi,
Lily.I
just
wanted
to
come
by
and
invite
you
to
a
little
get?together
I'm
having
tonight.
W：Oh,
really?
What's
that?
M：It's
kind
of
a
dinner
party.I'll
be
cooking
some
steak
and
hot
dogs
in
the
backyard.And
we
have
a
pool
if
you
want
to
swim.
W：I
don't
know...Who's
coming?
M：Just
a
few
friends
from
work.I
thought
because
you
are
new
to
the
area,
it
might
be
a
good
opportunity
to
meet
some
people.
W：I'm
afraid
my
English
isn't
very
good.I
don't
want
to
be
embarrassed.
M：Don't
worry.I
have
several
Chinese
colleagues.You
will
have
plenty
of
people
to
talk
to.
W：Are
you
sure?
M：Of
course!
It's
very
casual,
and
you
don't
have
to
bring
anything.Come
by
anytime.
W：OK.Thank
you!

M：It
must
be
so
boring
being
a
housewife.Why
don't
you
try
to
find
a
job?
W：I
don't
get
bored.I
always
think
being
bored
is
for
people
who
aren't
intelligent.
M：But
how
do
you
keep
yourself
occupied
all
day?
W：Well,
first
of
all,
this
is
a
big
house
and
it's
quite
a
job
to
keep
it
clean
and
tidy.Plus,
I'm
in
the
supermarket
by
8：00
each
morning
on
weekdays
to
find
the
freshest
food.
Then
it's
the
hairdresser's
on
Saturdays.
M：You
qualified
as
a
lawyer.Don't
you
miss
the
legal
environment?
W：You
forget
that
I
did
do
the
most
important
job
of
all.When
I
became
a
mom,
it
was
my
duty
to
devote
all
my
efforts
to
that.
M：But
now
the
kids
have
grown
up.Surely
you
are
ready
to
get
back
to
work.With
the
kind
of
salary,
you
could
afford
some
nice
holidays.
W：That's
OK
for
some,
but
for
me,
family
life
comes
before
work
and
vacations.

M：Hi,
there.My
name
is
Richard
Jackson.I'm
interested
in
buying
one
of
your
Italian?Language
Learning
Series.
W：Certainly,
sir.Is
that
the
beginners'
version,
the
standard
version,
or
the
complete
version?
M：What's
the
complete
version?
W：The
complete
version
includes
beginner,
average
and
advanced
levels,
plus
additional
online
exercises
and
voice?recognition
software.
M：Cool.I
notice
that
it
says
on
your
website
that
all
products
for
this
series
are
20%
off.Is
that
deal
still
going
on?
W：Yes,
it
is.
M：Well,
I've
been
trying
to
order
through
your
website,
but
it's
not
working.
W：Yes,
we're
making
some
changes
to
our
website.It
should
be
back
up
in
a
few
days.
M：So
do
I
still
get
the
discount?
W：Unfortunately,
sir,
we
can
only
apply
the
discount
through
our
online
orders.
M：But
it's
not
my
fault
your
website
isn't
working！That's
why
I'm
calling
you.
W：I
understand,
sir.How
about
this?
You
pay
the
regular
price
now,
and
then
we
give
you
the
discount
back
in
about
a
week.
M：That's
fine,
as
long
as
I
get
the
money
back.Also...does
the
package
come
with
a
microphone?
W：Yes,
but
it's
not
the
greatest
quality.
M：That's
OK.I'm
sure
it
will
be
fine.When
can
I
receive
it?
W：It
will
be
sent
through
email
as
soon
as
your
credit

I
hope
everyone
has
had
their
fill
of
the
free
lunch
we
provided
for
Employee
Appreciation
Day.The
other
managers
and
I
think
you
have
been
doing
a
great
job
this
year
and
we
are
really
proud
to
be
working
with
you.Every
morning
you
guys
come
in
and
really
do
your
best,
and
the
company
appreciates
it.Before
I
close
the
store
each
night,
I
get
to
read
some
of
the
great
reviews
left
by
the
customers
you
have
served.So
just
know
that
they
appreciate
you
too.Without
all
of
your
hard
work,
our
products
wouldn't
get
anywhere！What
I
really
want
to
talk
about
today
is
how
our
sales
have
increased
in
the
past
four
months.With
the
opening
of
our
new
website,
we
are
able
to
reach
many
more
customers
than
ever
before.I
have
never
seen
our
products
move
so
quickly.It
has
been
a
big
success.However,
I
know
this
has
put
extra
stress
on
everyone.
Those
few
months
of
extra
hard
work
were
tough.I
am
happy
to
announce
to
you
that
we
will
soon
be
hiring
new
people
to
make
things
easier.More
importantly,
we
are
planning
to
give
all
of
you
pay
raises.You
deserve
to
be
rewarded
for
your
hard
work.We
hope
to
begin
these
changes
within
the
next
quarter
of
this
year.Thank
you

C
The
Boy
Made
It!
One
Sunday,
Nicholas,
a
teenager,
went
skiing
at
Sugarloaf
Mountain
in
Maine.
In
the
early
afternoon,
when
he
was
planning
to
go
home,
a
fierce
snowstorm
swept
into
the
area.
Unable
to
see
far,
he
accidentally
turned
off
the
path.
Before
he
knew
it,
Nicholas
was
lost,
all
alone!
He
didn't
have
food,
water,
a
phone,
or
other
supplies.
He
was
getting
colder
by
the
minute.
Nicholas
had
no
idea
where
he
was.
He
tried
not
to
panic.
He
thought
about
all
of
the
survival
shows
he
had
watched
on
TV.
It
was
time
to
put
the
tips
he
had
learned
to
use.
He
decided
to
stop
skiing.
There
was
a
better
chance
of
someone
finding
him
if
he
stayed
put.
The
first
thing
he
did
was
to
find
shelter
from
the
freezing
wind
and
snow.
If
he
didn't,
his
body
temperature
would
get
very
low,
which
could
quickly
kill
him.
Using
his
skis,
Nicholas
built
a
snow
cave.
He
gathered
a
huge
mass
of
snow
and
dug
out
a
hole
in
the
middle.
Then
he
piled
branches
on
top
of
himself,
like
a
blanket,
to
stay
as
warm
as
he
could.
By
that
evening,
Nicholas
was
really
hungry.
He
ate
snow
and
drank
water
from
a
nearby
stream
so
that
his
body
wouldn't
lose
too
much
water.
Not
knowing
how
much
longer
he
could
last,
Nicholas
did
the
only
thing
he
could—he
huddled
(蜷缩)
in
his
cave
and
slept.
The
next
day,
Nicholas
went
out
to
look
for
help,
but
he
couldn't
find
anyone.
He
followed
his
tracks
and
returned
to
the
snow
cave,
because
without
shelter,
he
could
die
that
night.
On
Tuesday,
Nicholas
went
out
again
to
find
help.
He
had
walked
for
about
a
mile
when
a
volunteer
searcher
found
him.
After
two
days
stuck
in
the
snow,
Nicholas
was
saved.
Nicholas
might
not
have
survived
this
snowstorm
had
it
not
been
for
TV.
He
had
often
watched
Grylls'
survival
show
Man
vs.
Wild.
That's
where
he
learned
the
tips
that
saved
his
life.
In
each
episode
(一期节目)
of
Man
vs.
Wild,
Grylls
is
abandoned
in
a
wild
area
and
has
to
find
his
way
out.
When
Grylls
heard
about
Nicholas'
amazing
deeds,
he
was
super
impressed
that
Nicholas
had
made
it
since
he
knew
better
than
anyone
how
hard
Nicholas
had
to
work
to
stay
alive.
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Nicholas在一次滑雪时迷路，利用自己在电视里学到的求生技能成功求生的故事。

Sunday
afternoon?
A．He
got
lost.
B．He
broke
his
skis.

Preparing
Cities
for
Robot
Cars
The
possibility
of
self?driving
robot
cars
has
often
seemed
like
a
futurist's
dream，years
away
from
materializing
in
the
real
world.Well，the
future
is
apparently
now.The
California
Department
of
Motor
Vehicles
began
giving
permits
in
April
for
companies
to
test
truly
self?driving
cars
on
public
roads.The
state
also
cleared
the
way
for
companies
to
sell
or
rent
out
self?driving
cars，and
for
companies
to
operate
driverless
taxi
services.California，it
should
be
noted，isn't
leading
the
way
here.Companies
have
been
testing
their
vehicles
in
cities
across
the
country.It's
hard
to
predict
when
driverless
cars
will
be
everywhere
on
our
roads.But
however
long
it
takes，the
technology
has
the
potential
to
change
our
transportation
systems
and
our
cities，for
better
or
for
worse，depending
on
how
the
transformation
is
regulated.
While
much
of
the
debate
so
far
has
been
focused
on
the
safety
of
driverless
cars
(and
rightfully
so)，policymakers
also
should
be
talking
about
how
self?driving
vehicles
can
help
reduce
traffic
jams，cut
emissions(排放)and
offer
more
convenient,
affordable
mobility
options.The
arrival
of
driverless
vehicles
is
a
chance
to
make
sure
that
those
vehicles
are
environmentally
friendly
and
more
shared.
Do
we
want
to
copy—or
even
worsen—the
traffic
of
today
with
driverless
cars？Imagine
a
future
where
most
adults
own
individual
self?driving
vehicles.They
tolerate
long，slow
journeys
to
and
from
work
on
packed
highways
because
they
can
work，entertain
themselves
or
sleep
on
the
ride，which
encourages
urban
spread.They
take
their
driverless
car
to
an
appointment
and
set
the
empty
vehicle
to
circle
the
building
to
avoid
paying
for
parking.Instead
of
walking
a
few
blocks
to
pick
up
a
child
or
the
dry
cleaning，they
send
the
self?driving
minibus.The
convenience
even
leads
fewer
people
to
take
public
transport—an
unwelcome
side
effect
researchers
have
already
found
in
ride?hailing(叫车)services.
A
study
from
the
University
of
California
at
Davis
suggested
that
replacing
petrol?powered
private
cars
worldwide
with
electric，self?driving
and
shared
systems
could
reduce
carbon
emissions
from
transportation
80%
and
cut
the
cost
of
transportation
infrastructure
(基础设施)
and
operations
40%
by
2050.Fewer
emissions
and
cheaper
travel
sound
pretty
appealing.The
first
commercially
available
driverless
cars
will
almost
certainly
be
fielded
by
ride?hailing
services，considering
the
cost
of
self?driving
technology
as
well
as
liability
and
maintenance
issues(责任与维护问题)．But
driverless
car
ownership
could
increase
as
the
prices
drop
and
more
people
become
comfortable
with
the
technology.
Policymakers
should
start
thinking
now
about
how
to
make
sure
the
appearance
of
driverless
vehicles
doesn't
extend
the
worst
aspects
of
the
car?controlled
transportation
system
we
have
today.The
coming
technological
advancement
presents
a
chance
for
cities
and
states
to
develop
transportation
systems
designed
to
move
more
people，and
more
affordably.The
car
of
the
future
is
coming.We
just
have
to
plan
for
it.
本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕无人驾驶汽车这项前沿科技话题，对以下方面进行了讨论：对无人驾驶汽车最大的担忧，对无人驾驶汽车未来发展的态度以及可能会出现的管理问题。
32．According
to
the
author，attention
should
be
paid
to
how

can
________.
A．help
deal
with
transportation?related
problems
B．provide
better
services
to
customers
C．cause
damage
to
our
environment
D．make
some
people
lose
jobs
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“While
much
of
the

so
far
has
been
focused
on
the
safety...policymakers
also
should
be
talking
about
how
self?driving
vehicles
can
help
reduce
traffic
jams，cut
emissions(排放)
and
offer
more
convenient，affordable
mobility
options.”可知，人们对无人驾驶汽车的关注点在于其安全性以及有助于减少交通拥堵等方面。选项A“有助于解决与交通有关的问题”与此意思吻合。选项B
“为消费者提供更好的服务”说法太笼统；选项C与第二段第一句中的cut
emissions矛盾；选项D在文中没有提及。
33．As
for
driverless
cars，what
is
the
author's
major
concern?
A．Safety.
B．Side
effects.
C．Affordability.
D．Management.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Policymakers
should
start
thinking
now
about
how
to
make
sure
the
appearance
of
driverless
vehicles
doesn't
extend
the
worst
aspects
of
the
car?controlled
transportation
system
we
have
today.”并结合上文内容可知，作者希望政策的制定者要考虑这些无人驾驶车辆的管理，不要扩大现有汽车管理运输系统中的最糟糕的方面，与选项D提到的“(车辆)管理”吻合。
34．What
does
the
underlined
word
“fielded”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean?
A．Employed.
B．Replaced.
C．Shared.
D．Reduced.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中画线词后文内容可知，此处指第一批上市的无人驾驶车辆会被“用到”叫车服务中。选项A“使用”符合题意。
35．What
is
the
author's
attitude
to
the
future
of
self?driving
cars?
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Disapproving.
D．Sympathetic.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“The
car
of
the
future
is
coming.
We
just
have
to
plan
for
it.”可推断作者对于这种新科技持积极乐观的态度。故选B。

Merry
Christmas
The
winter
holiday
season
is
the
most
festive
time
of
the
year
in
the
United
States.Students
from
elementary
school
to
college
have
about
two
weeks'
vacation,
beginning
shortly
before
Christmas
and
ending
soon
after
New
Year's
Day.__36__
There
are
many
parties
to
celebrate
the
birth
of
Christ
and
the
arrival
of
the
New
Year.
__37__
Late
in
November,
street
lights
and
store
windows
are
decorated
with
the
traditional
Christmas
colors
of
red
and
green.Santa
Claus,
shepherd
and
angel
scenes
appear
in
shop
windows.Winter
scenes
with
snowmen,
sleighs,
skaters,
and
skiers
decorate
cards
and
windows.
The
manufacture
and
sale
of
Christmas
items
is
big
business.__38__
Smart
shoppers
buy
their
gifts
far
in
advance,
before
the
Christmas
rush
makes
shopping
a
chore.
Although
Americans
enjoy
the
commercial
friendliness
of
Christmas,
the
most
beautiful
and

a
traditional
Christmas
dinner—turkey
or
ham,
sweet
potatoes,
vegetables,
and
cranberry
sauce.Dessert
is
usually
fruit
cake,
plum
pudding,
or
apple
pie.
Most
of
the
Christmas
customs
which
Americans
enjoy
today
are
variations
of
traditions
brought
here
by
European
immigrants,
decorating
the
home
with
evergreens
for
example.__40__
Branches
of
evergreens
were
thought
to
bring
good
luck
and
guarantee
the
return
of
spring.Now,
at
Christmas
time,
decorated
trees
stand
in
about
two?thirds
of
American
homes.The
modern
American
tree
is
usually
covered
with
colored
balls
and
strings
of
colored
lights.
A．Many
families
gather
around
the
tree
and
open
their
gifts.
B．In
America,
the
spirit
of
Christmas
arrives
about
a
month
before
the
holiday
itself.
C．Many
families
go
away
for
the
holidays,
but
those
who
stay
home
have
fun,
too.
D．In
America,
it's
customary
to
exchange
gifts
with
family
members
and
close
friends.
E．Stores
depend
on
Christmas
shoppers
for
about
one?fourth
of
their
annual
sales.
F．Today
the
custom
continues,
but
now
it
is
for
fun.
G．This
winter
custom
began
in
ancient
times.

inspired
about
the
country
Anthony
Maggert
knew
just
about
everything
about
Colin
Powell.
He'd
read
all
of
his
books.
He'd
watched
him
on
television,
awed
by
the
__41__
he
showed
even
in
the
hardest
times.
And
then,
he
got
into
the
military,
__42__
23
years
in
Afghanistan,
where
he
lost
one
__43__
.
It
had
been
Powell
whom
he'd
thought
of
often.
He
was
an
ideal
to
strive
toward.
On
Tuesday,
Maggert
was
driving
on
the
Capital
Beltway.
When
he
noticed
a
tall
man
__44__
down
beside
his
car,
trying
to
fix
a
flat
front
tire,
Maggert
immediately
thought
he
__45__
him.
But
no,
it
couldn't
be.
Out
here,
on
the
side
of
the
road?
Thinking
he'd
help
the
trapped
driver
either
way,
he
__46__
his
car,
and
with
an
artificial
leg,
walked
toward
the
man.
That
was
when
he
realised
that
he'd
been
right.
A
few
miles
away,
in
Washington,
the
government
had
shut
down,
two
sides
shouting
at
each
other.
But
out
here,
the
matter
at
hand
was
__47__
,
a
flat
tire.
The
two
of
them
__48__
about
Afghanistan
while
fixing
the
tire.
“Such
a
gentleman，”
Maggert
said
of
the
former
US
Secretary
of
State,
now
81,
in
whom
he
again
saw
that
effortless
calm.
“I
hope
when
I'm
that
__49__
,
I'm
as
energetic
as
he
is.”
All
that
day,
Maggert
thought
about
what
happened.
Later
that
day,
Maggert
wrote
him
a
__50__
：“General
Powell,
I
hope
I
never
forget
today
because
I'll
never
forget
reading
your
books，”
he
said.
“You
were
always
a(n)

a
leader
and
statesman.
You
were
the
giant
whose
shoulders
we
stood
upon
to
carry
the
torch
to
__52__
the
way
and
now
it
is
tomorrow's
generation
that
must
do
the
same.”
Powell
then
__53__
in
kind：“Thanks,
Anthony，”
he
wrote
in
a
public
Facebook
post.
“You
touched
my
soul
and
__54__

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。续写词数应为150左右。
“Got
your
cellphone?
Glasses?
Wallet？ID？”I
asked.
“Yes，”my
husband
Avraham
smiled.“Can
we
go
now？You've
got
to
meet
your
interview
before
I
go
to
see
my
patient
at
one
o'clock.”
“Right.Got
your
medical
bag？”
“Yes.”
Even
years
after
moving
from
North
America,
we
still
loved
the
half?hour
drive
to
Jerusalem(耶路撒冷)．The
blue
sky
above
the
mountains,
the
trees,
and
the
journey
up
to
the
Holy
City
always
filled
us
with
gratitude
for
living
in
Israel.
As
we
sped
along,
we
came
to
our
favorite
part
of
the
journey,
where
a
wonderful
view
of
Jerusalem
suddenly
appeared
above
the
roadway.We
had
a
good
time
and
arrived
at
my
meeting
with
time
to
spare.
After
my
interview,
I
met
Avraham
at
our
favorite
cafe.Avraham
ordered
his
daily
iced
coffee
and
a
bag
of
fresh
bread.Glancing
at
the
clock,
I
suggested
we
go
to
see
his
patient.
Avraham
had
to
visit
an
elderly
woman
in
Jerusalem
because
her
daughter
had
called
the
day
before
to
arrange
the
appointment.As
there
were
very
few
foot
specialists
in
Israel,
Avraham
would
travel
all
over
the
country
to
see
patients
requiring
specialized
foot
care.He
searched
his
pockets
for
a
note
on
which
he
had
written
the
address.
But
the
note
was
nowhere
to
be
found.
“I
don't
believe
it！I
must
have
left
the
address
at
home.”
“Do
you
remember
any
part
of
the
address？”I
asked.
“I
remember
that
there
was
a
number
17
in
it,
because
it
was
part
of
my
birth
date.”
“Do
you
know
the
street
name？”
“No.Just
that
it's
in
this
neighborhood.”
I
had
heard
the
family
name
mentioned
the
day
before
and
remembered
it
sounded
like
a
European
name.“Let's
try
looking
at
buildings
and
see
if
the
mailboxes
can
give
us
some
help，”I
offered.
Paragraph
1：
We
scanned
the
listings
for
the
number
17
and
two
more
nearby
buildings.
“Well，since_we_are_already_in_the_city,_let's_try_one_last_building，”_Avraham_suggested,_as_he_whispered_a_prayer_for_God's_help_in_finding_the_right_house_with_the_uncertain_address.We_tiredly_approached_the_entrance_to_an_apartment_house_down_another_street_and_noticed_all_of_the_European_names.Taking_this_as_a_good_sign,_we_entered_the_entrance_where_we_learned_an_elderly_couple_lived.

There
are
lots
of
ways
to
raise
awareness
for
a
cause.Usually，the
1
the
idea
is，the
more
it
gets
noticed.And
that's
precisely
why
one
2
Frenchman
has
caught
our
attention.
Baptiste
Dubanchet
is
biking
across
Europe，surviving
3
on
discarded(丢弃的)food.The
three?month,1,900?mile
journey
from
Paris
to
Warsaw
is
Dubanchet's
4
of
raising
awareness
of
food
waste
in
Europe
and
throughout
the
world.
As
you
can
5 ，the
trip
is
no
piece
of
cake.While
restaurants
6
tons
of
food
each
year，much
of
it
remains
inaccessible
because
of
7
garbage
containers，health
regulations，or
business
policies.Only
about
one
in
ten
places
8
him
food
that
would
otherwise
be
discarded.For
legal

restaurants
have
a
policy
against
10
food
waste.“Some
people
have
even
11
their
jobs
by
giving
me
food，”
Dubanchet
said.
What's
12
interesting
is
the
attitude
various
cities
have
toward
Dubanchet's
cause.Berlin
has
been
the
13
while
the
most
difficult
was
the
Czech
town
of
Pilsen.There，he
had
to
14
at
some
50
different
stores
or
restaurants
before
finding
food.The
15
is
all
the
more
serious
when
you
consider
the
16
exercise
required
to
bike
from
France
to
Poland.
“I
have
to
get
food
17
because
after
all
the
biking
I
am
tired
and
I
need
the
18 ，”Dubanchet
explained.“Is
my
19
full
or
empty？That
is
the
most
important
thing，not
what
I
am
eating.”
He
aims
to
20
his
journey
by
mid?July.With
any
luck，he'll
turn
a
few
more
heads
in
the
process.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了为提高人们节约食物的意识，法国人Dubanchet
骑行穿越欧洲，途中靠人们丢弃的食物为生，并介绍了不同城市对食物垃圾的不同态度。
1．A.cleverer B．older C．stranger D．simpler
答案：C
解析：下文语境题。引起人们对一项事业的关注有很多种方式。通常来说，想法越奇怪(stranger)，得到的关注也越多。根据下文所述，骑行过程中以垃圾为食是一种奇怪行为。clever聪明的；old年纪大的；simple简单的。
2．A.garbage?eating
B．sports?loving
C．food?wasting
D．law?breaking
答案：A
解析：下文语境题。根据第二段的surviving...on
discarded(丢弃的)food可知，这个法国人靠丢弃的食物为食。这就是一个吃垃圾的(garbage?eating)法国人引起我们注意的原因。sports?loving
热爱运动的；food?wasting
浪费食物的；law?breaking
违法的。
3．A.secretly
B．finally
C．entirely
D．probably
答案：C
解析：上下文语境题。根据上下文可知，Baptiste

秘密地；finally
最后；probably
很可能。
4．A.purpose
B．way
C．opinion
D．dream
答案：B
解析：上文语境题。由第一段第一句“There
are
lots
of
ways
to
raise
awareness
for
a
cause.(引起人们对一项事业的关注有很多种方式)”可知，从巴黎到华沙，历时三个月，骑行1
900英里，这就是Dubanchet引起欧洲和世界对食物浪费这一现象的关注的方式(way)。purpose
目的；opinion观点；dream
梦想。

D．throw
away
答案：D

7．A.locked
B．damaged

8．A.bought
B．offered
C．ordered

卖。
9．A.reasons
B．rights
C．fees

away
C．hiding
D．causing
答案：B

for乞求；hide
隐藏；
cause
导致，造成。

B．kept
C．accepted

跳跃。
15．A.competition
B．conversation
C．conflict

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Unlike
most
of
the
other
special
holidays,
the
history
of
April
Fool's
Day,
sometimes
called
All
Fool's
Day,
is
not
totally
clear.There
really
wasn't
a
“first
April
Fool's
Day”
that
could
be
pinpointed
on
the
calendar.Some
believe
it
sort
of
celebrations
involving
the
first
day
of
spring.
The
closest
point
in
time
that
can
be
identified
as
the
beginning
of
this
tradition
was
in
1582,
in
France.It
had
been
lasting
until
that
year
that
the
new
year
was
celebrated
for
eight
days,
beginning
on
March
25.The
celebration
ended
on
April
1.With
the
reform
of
the
calendar
under
Charles
Ⅸ，the
Gregorian
Calendar
was
introduced，and
New
Year's
Day
was
moved
to
January
1.
However，communications
being
what
they
were
in
the
days
when
news
traveled
by
foot,
many
people
did
not
receive
the
news
for
several
years.Others，the
more
stubborn
crowd,
refused
to
accept
the
new
calendar
and
continued
to
celebrate
the
new
year
on
April
1.These
backward
folk
were
labeled
as
“fools”
by
the
ordinary
people.They
were
subject
to
some
ridicule，and
were
often
made
fun
of.
This
harassment
(困扰)
developed
over
time
into
a
tradition
of
joke?playing
on
the
first
day
of
April.The
tradition
eventually
spread
to
England
and
Scotland
in
the
eighteenth
century.It
was
later
introduced
to
the
American
colonies
of
both
the
English
and
French.April
Fool's
Day
thus
developed
into
an
international
fun
feast，so
to
speak，with
different
nationalities
specializing
in
their
own
brand
of
humor
at
the
expense
of
their
friends
and
families.
In
Scotland，for
instance，April
Fool's
Day
is
actually
celebrated
for
two
days.The
second
day
is
devoted
to
tricks
involving
the
back
part
of
the
body.The
origin
of
the
“kick
me”
sign
can
be
traced
to
this
custom.
Mexico's
April
Fool's
Day
is
actually
observed
on
December
28.It
eventually
evolved
into
a
lighter
memorial
involving
jokes
and
trickery.
Pranks—playful
but
foolish
tricks,
performed
on
April
Fool's
Day
range
from
the
simple,
(such
as
saying，Your
shoe's
untied！)，to
the
elaborate.Setting
a
roommate's
alarm
clock
back
an
hour
is
a
common
trick.Whatever
the
prank，the
trickster
usually
ends
it
by
yelling
to
his
victim,
“April
Fool！”
April
Fool's
Day
is
a
“for?fun?only”
observance.Nobody
is
expected
to
buy
gifts
or
to
take
their
family
members
out
to
eat
in
a
fancy
restaurant.Nobody
gets
off
work
or
school.It's
simply
a
fun
little
holiday,
but
a
holiday
on
which
one
must
remain
forever
careful,
for
he
may
be
the
next
April
Fool!
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了愚人节的来历及各地的一些相关风俗。
1．From
the
passage,
we
can
learn
that
________.
A．the
exact
time
when
“April
Fool's
Day”
got
its
name
was
in
1582
B．April
Fool's
Day
was
the
first
day
of
spring
in
the
past
C．Charles
Ⅸ
reformed
and
introduced
the
Gregorian
Calendar
D．before
1582,
the
new
year
was
celebrated
for
eight
days
in
France
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“The
closest
point
in
time...was
in
1582,
in
France.
It
had
been
lasting
until
that
year
that
the
new
year
was
celebrated
for
eight
days,
beginning
on
March
25.”可知，在1582年之前，法国人从3月25日起开始庆祝新年，这种庆祝一直持续8天。D项正确。故选D。
2．Why
did
some
people
refuse
to
accept
the
new
calendar?
A．Because
they
didn't
receive
the
news
in
time.
B．Because
they
were
labeled
as
“fools”
by
others.
C．Because
they
didn't
want
to
change
their
living
custom.
D．Because
they
lacked
communications
with
others.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“Others,
the
more
stubborn
crowd,
refused
to
accept
the
new
calendar
and
continued
to
celebrate
the
new
year
on
April
1.”可知，有些固执的人不愿接受新历法，他们依旧在4月1日那天庆祝新年。由此结合选项意思可知，C项与之最接近。故选C。
3．The
last
four
paragraphs
are
developed
mainly
by
________.
A．giving
examples
B．giving
instructions
C．following
the
time
order
D．presenting
research

Ⅲ.读后续写
It
was
somewhere
between
spring
and
summer,
and
my
mom
and
I
were
driving
through
the
countryside.Back
then,
I
was
13
years
old,
and
always
felt
unhappy
with
mom.But
little
did
I
know
that
this
trip
was
going
to
be
a
special
one.
A
pot
of
flowers
sat
in
the
back
seat,
whose
heavenly
scent
filled
the
car.
Suddenly,
in
the
middle
of
nowhere,
my
mom
pulled
over.“What
are
you
doing？”
I
cried,
fearing
that
the
car
had
broken
down
and
we'd
be
stuck
there,
so
far
from
home.But
that
wasn't
the
case.My
mom
hopped
out
of
the
car,
grabbing
the
flowers
from
the
back
seat.“It'll
just
be
a
minute，”
she
called
back
through
the
open
windows.
My
eyes
impatiently
skimmed
the
edge
of
the
road
before
settling
on
a
little
sign
showing
that
it
was
a
nursing
home.I
looked
back
to
the
building,
somewhat
annoyed,
as
my
mom
reappeared,
empty?handed.
Before
she
started
the
car,
curiosity
drove
me
to
ask,
“Do
you
know
someone
there？”
She
shook
her
head.“Then
what
did
you
do
with
the
flowers？”
She
smiled
slightly,
“I
gave
them
to
the
receptionist.”
“What？”
She
laughed
at
my
confusion.“I
told
the
receptionist
to
give
the
flowers
to
whoever
needed
them,
especially
who
hasn't
gotten
any
in
a
while.”
I
kept
silent
for
a
moment.Not
long
after
we
continued
our
driving,
I
spoke
again,
“Did
you
leave
your
name？”
To
this
she
answered
instantly，“No.Leaving
flowers
there
for
someone
who
will
appreciate
them
makes
me
feel
good，which
is
enough
of
a
thank?you
for
me.”
Suddenly,
still
thinking
about
Mom's
deeds,
I
heard
something
burst
loudly.It
was
our
car
that
broke
down!
Nothing
could
be
worse,
because
neither
my
mom
nor
I
understood
how
to
repair
it,
and
we
didn't
know
where
the
garage
was.It
also
seemed
impossible
to
wait
for
any
passer?by,
since
we
had
seen
so
few
along
the
way.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Ⅱ.单句语法填空
1．We
feel
it
our
duty
to
make
our
country
a
better
place.
解析：it
在此做形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式短语
to
make
our
country
a
better
place。
2．Ladies
and
gentlemen,
please
remain
seated
(seat)
until
the
plane
has
come
to
a
complete
stop.
解析：句意：先生们，女士们，在飞机停稳之前请坐着别动。过去分词
seated
在句中作表语，表示“坐着”这一状态，seat
与
Ladies
and
gentlemen
为动宾关系。其实
seated
也可以看作过去分词转化而来的形容词。
3．We
firmly
believe
that
war
never
settles
anything.
It
only
leads
to
violence.
解析：lead
to
导致，造成，引起。
4．—Where

意为“由你决定”。

up
占用(时间、空间等)。
6．Rod
loves
taking
apart
clocks.
However,
he
never
manages
to
put
them
together
again.
解析：句意：罗德喜欢把钟表拆开，但是他从来没能再把它们组装起来过。take
apart拆开。
7．—Father,
you
promised!
—Well,
so
I
did.
But
it
was
you
who
didn't
keep
your
word
first.
解析：对前面的情况进行肯定及强调用“so＋主语＋助动词/be动词/情态动词”。动词为
promised，故用助动词
do
的过去式
did。
8．Bill
wasn't
happy
about
the
delay
of
the
report
by
Jason,
and
neither/nor
was
I.
解析：“neither/nor＋助动词/情态动词/be动词＋主语(另一个)”表示前面所述的否定情况也适用于后者。
9．I
don't
think
he
will
take
part
in
the
activity,
will_he?
解析：主句的主语为第一人称，所以反意疑问句的问句的主谓应与宾语从句的主谓保持一致；主句中的
not
实际上来自宾语从句，则反意疑问句的问句应用肯定形式。
10．On
behalf
of
all
the
staff,
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all.
解析：句意：我代表全体职工感谢大家。on

Tips
on
how
to
save
money
It's
important
for
you
teenagers
to
know
how
to
save
money.
You
know
that
the
money
you
save
can
be
for
rainy
days
and
be
used
to
pay
through
your
college
education.
If
you
think
it's
a
difficult
task
and
don't
know
how
to
do
it,
please
do
as
the
following.
__1__
My
dad
always
tells
me
that
if
one
doesn't
respect
money,
it
will
never
respect
you.
Hence,
it's
important
that
you
keep
a
record
of
your
daily
expenses.
Make
it
a
habit
to
write
down
all
that
you
have
spent.
And
when
you
find
out
the
total
expenses
at
the
end
of
the
month,
you
will
realize
what
you
have
spent
more
money
in
doing.__2__
Open
a
savings
account.
Opening
a
savings
account
is
a
better
way
to
save
money.
You
can
set
a
goal;
say
(for
example),
the
money
is
for
a
new
notebook
or
for
college,
and
then
save,
until
you
have
enough
money
to
buy
a
notebook
or
until
you
go
to
college.
__3__
Do
not
carry
much
cash.
Do
you
have
the
habit
of
not
leaving
a
store
without
buying
anything?
The
only
way
to
stop
that
is
carrying
less
money
around
with
you.
Go
to
the
store
with
the
minimum
amount
of
money,
which
will
not
even
help
you
buy
a
drink.__4__
Save
the
changes.
Save
the
changes
that
you
get
back.
If
you
have
gone
to
a
shop
to
buy
something
and
get
back
some
changes,
then
do
not
spend
them.
__5__
And
you'll
be
surprised
at
the
huge
amount
of
money
after
days.
Follow
these
tips
above,
and
thus
you
can
save
a
lot
of
money.
And
surely,
they'll
help
you
to
be
more
responsible
in
your
life.

a

of
your
daily
expenses.

a
few
days,
you'll
get
rid
of
this
habit.
C．Instead,

them
in
your
piggy
bank.
D．By
that
time,
you
will
realize
the
importance
of
saving
money.

money
builds
your
financial
power
and
personal
freedom.

in

Sunny
This
morning
our
class
organized
an
environmentally
friendly
activity
in
Nanchang
People's
Park.
On
arriving
there,
we
divided
the
activity
into
three
parts.First,
we
cleaned
up
the
park
and
took
away
the
rubbish,
such
as
the
waste
paper,
cigarette
ends
and
plastic
bags.
Then
we
set
up
several
boards
to
remind
the
visitors
to
take
care
of
the
flowers
and
trees.
After
that,
we
gave
a
speech
to
the
visitors
on
the
theme
of
the
danger
of
“white
pollution”
and
the
importance
of
protecting
the
environment.
I
think
it
is
very
important
for
us
to
protect
the
environment.For
the
sake
of
people's
health
and
happiness,
measures
should
be
taken
to
control
and
prevent
pollution
and
everyone
should
make
a
contribution
to
it.
I'll
never
forget
the
memorable
day！
