The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse.
At the same time, people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing.
These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do.

A.Modern Man and the Earth B.Environmental Problems

China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners.
One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates.
As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.
You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.
As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round?
As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door.
The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”.
( )33.What should we do if we have meals in a public setting?
A.Bring your own chopsticks from home. B.Use communal chopsticks to get food.
C.Use your own chopsticks to share food. D.Share the food with others’ chopsticks.
( )34.What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean?
A.turn something around B.pull something nearer
C.pick something up D.move something away
( )35.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.Why the table is round? B.How can you find a seat?
C.Which is the honor seat? D.Who is the most important?
( )36.How does the writer organize the article?
A.In time order. B.From specific to general.
C.In space order. D.From general to specific.
D
How green are you? Do you know how to be green? Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary or maybe the old one is still useful.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. When something is broken, we should repair (修理) it instead of throwing it away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these three words:reduce, reuse and recycle.
( )37.Which of the following means “use less”?
A.Reuse. B.Reduce. C.Recycle. D.Remember.
( )38.Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?
A.Because you can use them again. B.Because you can burn them.
C.Because you can throw them away. D.Because you can change them into something else.
( )39.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to produce things. B.How to burn things.
C.How to buy things. D.How to be green.
( )40.The text may come from a ________.
A.history book B.dictionary C.storybook D.magazine

The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse.
At the same time, people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing.
These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do.
( )29.What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A.The land, the air and the water. B.People.
C.Rivers and lakes. D.Factories.
( )30.What does the fifth paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Problems. B.Ways. C.Advantages. D.Effects.
( )31.How is the text organized?

A. B. C. D.
( )32.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Modern Man and the Earth B.Environmental Problems
C.The Changes on the Earth D.The Future of the Earth
【答案】29.C 30.B 31.A 32.A
【解析】本文主要讲述了现代人们在许多方面改变了地球,呼吁大家采取行动改善环境。

C
China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners.
One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates.
As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.
You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.
As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round?
As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door.
The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”.
( )33.What should we do if we have meals in a public setting?
A.Bring your own chopsticks from home. B.Use communal chopsticks to get food.
C.Use your own chopsticks to share food. D.Share the food with others’ chopsticks.
( )34.What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean?
A.turn something around B.pull something nearer
C.pick something up D.move something away
( )35.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.Why the table is round? B.How can you find a seat?
C.Which is the honor seat? D.Who is the most important?
( )36.How does the writer organize the article?
A.In time order. B.From specific to general.
C.In space order. D.From general to specific.

Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary or maybe the old one is still useful.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. When something is broken, we should repair (修理) it instead of throwing it away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these three words:reduce, reuse and recycle.

B. 根据短文意思和首字母提示,写出一个完整正确的单词。
Eye contact is an important part of body language. It can be the key to communication. Eye contact can s 51 feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding without gestures.
In Western countries, people usually use eye contact when having conversations. If you do not use eye contact or look away, Westerners may think that you are not listening or that you are lying. However, it is p 52 to look down when talking with an older person in many Asian countries. These differences can cause p 53 . For example, an Asian person might look down when he listens to a Western speaker. The Westerner might think this person feels b 54 and is not interested in talking with him. So using eye contact properly is important. It can help us m 55 a good impression on others.
【答案】51.(s)how 52.(p)olite 53.(p)roblems 54.(b)ored 55.(m)ake
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了眼神交流的重要性、差异性和好处。

53.句意:这些差异可能会引起问题。根据下文“For example, an Asian person might look down when he listens to a Western speaker. The Westerner might think this person feels...and is not interested in talking with him.”可知,眼神交流在不同国家的差异性会导致一定的问题,用可数名词problem“问题”,且问题一定不止一个,需用复数problems。故填(p)roblems。
54.句意:西方人可能会认为这个人感到无聊,没有兴趣和他说话。根据“...is not interested in”可知,西方人会认为对方觉得无聊,不感兴趣,考查形容词bored“感到无聊的”。故填(b)ored。
55.句意:它可以帮助我们给别人留下好印象。根据“a good impression”和首字母可知,考查短语make a good impression on“给某人留下好印象”,结合help sb do sth“帮助某人做某事”可知,此处需填动词原形make。故填(m)ake。

Last weekend my parents and I went on a trip to Dali, Yunnan. On the first day, we visited the old city. There were old buildings with a long history. The next morning, we went to the Erhai Lake. The lake was in the shape of an ear. It looked clear and beautiful. We took quite a few photos there. The next day, we climbed a snow mountain and also tried the local food—a fish dish. It was really delicious! After that, we took the plane back to our city.
We felt tired, but we had a happy trip. We enjoyed ourselves during the trip.

The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse.
At the same time, people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing.
These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do.

A.The land, the air and the water. B.People.

( )30.What does the fifth paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Problems. B.Ways. C.Advantages. D.Effects.
( )31.How is the text organized?
(①=Paragraph1,②=Paragraph 2,…)
A. B. C. D.
( )32.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Modern Man and the Earth B.Environmental Problems
C.The Changes on the Earth D.The Future of the Earth

China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners.
One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates.
As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.
You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.
As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round?
As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door.
The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”.
( )33.What should we do if we have meals in a public setting?
A.Bring your own chopsticks from home. B.Use communal chopsticks to get food.
C.Use your own chopsticks to share food. D.Share the food with others’ chopsticks.
( )34.What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean?
A.turn something around B.pull something nearer
C.pick something up D.move something away
( )35.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.Why the table is round? B.How can you find a seat?
C.Which is the honor seat? D.Who is the most important?
( )36.How does the writer organize the article?
A.In time order. B.From specific to general.
C.In space order. D.From general to specific.
D
How green are you? Do you know how to be green? Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary or maybe the old one is still useful.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. When something is broken, we should repair (修理) it instead of throwing it away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these three words:reduce, reuse and recycle.
( )37.Which of the following means “use less”?
A.Reuse. B.Reduce. C.Recycle. D.Remember.
( )38.Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?
A.Because you can use them again. B.Because you can burn them.
C.Because you can throw them away. D.Because you can change them into something else.
( )39.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to produce things. B.How to burn things.
C.How to buy things. D.How to be green.
( )40.The text may come from a ________.
A.history book B.dictionary C.storybook D.magazine
