A

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）， we are short of（缺乏） others， for example， fresh water（淡水）。 It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？ Think about it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on. Little by little，everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best.

26. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school. A. eat too much B. don't work hard

C. waste things D. throw rubbish everywhere 27. Which is not mentioned in this passage？ A. Fresh water B. Forest. C. Oil. D. Coal.

28. What may happen in 100 years？

A. We may still have enough oil. B. We may still have enough coal. C. We may have a little oil. D. We may have no coal or oil to use. 29. Which of the following is right？

A. Waste brings problems. B. Waste can bring no problem. C. China is rich in fresh water. D. Students never waste things. 30. Which is the best title of this passage？ A. Stop Wasting B. School life

C. Waste in the School D. Rich Resources in China

B

Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: green and yellow

2

vegetables of all kinds; citrus （柑橘）fruits and tomatoes; potatoes and other fruits and vegetables ; meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; milk and foods made from milk; bread or cereal (谷物), rice is also in this kind of foods; butter or something like butter.

People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn‟t matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn‟t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o‟clock in the afternoon or at eleven o‟clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.

There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first thing is to find some ways to feed the world‟s population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kind of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.

34. Which of the following is NOT true?

D. Why people eat different kinds of food.

end of every voyage and took their wages.

On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “ If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.(工资)”

The sailors had heard about the captain‟ cheating, so they didn‟t trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it.

“ You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor. “ The fire‟s warming you.” “ But it‟s half a mile away.” Said the sailor. “ A fire is fire,” answered the captain.

“ Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can‟t cook a chicken,” said the sailor. “ I can‟t,” answered the captain.

“ If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor, “ I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can‟t, you will give me your ship.”

The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, “ Where‟s the fire?” “There it is,” answered the sailors, “ On the shore.”

“ „A fire‟s fire‟, you said,” answered the sailor. “ If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”

This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition(夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step---since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: what has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn‟t know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years…

Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature… What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this… just imagine how we can love if we try.

41. The underlined word “renovate” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.

B. It teaches us never to abandon our loved ones. C. It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.

Fast food

Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.

There are several reasons for its popularity. Firstly, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. Secondly, you can either eat it there or take it away. Thirdly, the environment of fast food restaurants is both clean and comfortable. However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It is usually not a balanced diet and low in nutritional value.

Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. It‟s not good for people, especially children, to eat fast food as little as possible.
