I come from Santiago, the capital of Chile. There are two separate areas in Santiago. There is an area for the very rich people and there is a part for the poor people. I come from the poor side of the city. The very rich people never cross over to the poor side of the city. But sometimes the poor people save their money and cross over to visit the beach on the rich side.
Dad drove buses. He would leave for work just after 4 am. His pay depended on the number of people who rode in his bus , so he would keep driving until he had made enough money for the day. Mum worked as a barber. She did not come home until late at night. My brother, sister and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents.
Dad had lived in Australia when he was younger. He told us about the large parks covered with grass. He told us about the beaches that were close to the cities which anyone could visit. Dad thought it would be better if we moved to Australia.
We could only take things that could fit in our suitcases. I took clothes and a few special things that reminded me of Chile. I took photographs, a box covered with sand from the beaches of Chile and traditional toy.
I was very sad to leave my friends and family, especially my grandmother. My grandmother had always looked after me. I didn’t want to leave her, but Dad said that she would come and visit us in Australia one day. When I left, I cut off some of my hair so that my grandmother would remember me.
Flying to Australia was a long journey. We stopped in Argentina and New Zealand before finally reaching Australia.

A. He led a hard life. B. He lived in the wealthy area.
C. He always went to the beach. D. He often visited the rich side of the city.
25. How did the author’s father’s early life in Australia affect him?
A. It caused him to move there. B. It pushed him to go back home.

26. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about the author?
A. He brought everything he needed to Australia.

Destinee Whitaker was in fourth grade when she learned that millions of people around the world lack clean water.
“It was a problem that confused me for a long time,” said Whitaker, from the United States city of Philadelphia. “Water is a necessity.”
When she got to Carver High School of Engineering and Science, Whitaker carefully researched the problem and felt that she must do something about it.
Early in her senior year, Whitaker approached fellow members of the school’s National Honor Society with a proposal: They should raise money to buy water purification (净化) systems for people in need. Whitaker, the National Honor Society president, knew the systems would have to be easy to carry and able to operate without electricity. So she checked with a microbiologist(微生物学家)to make sure the system she had her eye on would fit the bill.
Once her classmates agreed to back the proposal, Whitaker took it upon herself to raise money. She organized a game where students bought tickets to guess how many pieces of candy a jar contained.
In the end, they raised $800—a large amount for a school where 70 percent of the students’ families are not well-off.
Whitaker soon found that raising money was the easier part of the project. Finding an organization that could deliver the water purification systems was a bigger puzzle. She approached some organizations about their possible connections but no one could help.
Then Whitaker connected with Joseph Sackor, who runs the Liberia Medical Mission—an organization that provides medical care to Liberians who lack health services. Sackor accepted the school’s money and agreed to deliver the systems to people who needed them.
Whitaker dreams of someday launching(发起)her own nonprofit organization to bring clean water to more people in need.
“Some students in Liberia can’t even go to school because their parents cannot afford to buy them bottled water,” Sackor said. “This money is huge.”
What problem did Whitaker want to solve?
A.Global poverty. B. Lack of clean drinking water.
C.Lack of education. D. Low public awareness of healthy lifestyles.
The underlined phrase “fit the bill” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_______”.
A. meet their needs B. be cheap enough
C. be difficult to operate D. need improvement
30. What did Whitaker think the most difficult part of her project was?
A. Making a proposal for the project.
B. Calling on her classmates to support it.
C. Raising money to buy the equipment.
D. Finding an organization to deliver the equipment.
What does Whitaker want to do in the future?
Live and work in Liberia. B.Study medicine to help those in need.
C. Set up a charity organization to help more people.
D. Provide bottled water to Liberian students.
D
Animals can move from place to place,but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack,it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away,and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example,the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines(刺)that discourage grass?eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants,such as the oak tree,have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material;eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses,some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar(毛虫)bites a tobacco leaf,the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China,for instance,has prickly(多刺的)leaves,and each prickle contains poisonous venom(毒液).A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
32.The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals ________.
A. are not tall enough B. like the lower leaves only
C. are not clever enough D. can get the lower leaves easily
33.To defend themselves,oak trees use ________.
A. chemical means B. physical means
C. bitter chemicals D. sandy materials
34.How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
35.What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Plants and Animals B. How Plants Defend Themselves
C. Attacks and Defenses D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves

Dear Jim
Nowadays, the number of wildlife species decreases faster and faster. What’s worse, more and more wild animals are in great danger.
It is our human activities that should be responsible for it. On the one hand, they have no place to live in due to climate changes and people destroying their natural habitats. On the other hand, people kill them for their fur and meat, which can be made into different products, making great profits.
As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we took some effective measures to protect wildlife from extinction. First of all, the government should found some nature reserves to provide natural habitats for wild animals. Meanwhile, the government should get tough with the people who kill endangered species. Besides, we should raise people's awareness of protecting animals. Only by doing these things can we live in harmony with animals.
