Li Yunli recalls that when she was a child, the water in Dianchi Lake in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, was so clean that local people could drink it directly.
But the lake was greatly polluted in the 1980s. Local people tried to keep away from it, even though they had once depended on its fish for their living. Many people chose to change jobs and go somewhere else to make a living, but not Li. Instead, she set up her mind to clean the lake.
She has been cleaning the lake for over 30 years now. And her hard work has made her one of China’s 100 model environmental protection volunteers.
In 1987, local government started a volunteer program to deal with the growing number of the water hyacinth (水葫芦). Li attended it. The following year, an all-woman team was built to do the cleaning in the lake. Their job was to salvage the water hyacinth and other things in the lake. Li was the leader of the team.
Since then, she and her team can often be seen starting work at 7 a.m. whether it’s rainy or sunny. The hardest period time is from June to August, when the water hyacinth grows fastest. Plants and rubbish during this period are blown in many different directions and rain sometimes makes the work harder. “I grew up near Dianchi Lake. I’m cleaning it not only for the lake, but also for myself and for future people,” Li Yunli said. “As long as I am hard-working in taking the lead in the clean-up, more people will join us to protect Dianchi Lake, and the lake will return to its best condition.”
Thanks to the team’s work and also to the increasing attention from the local government, there have been positive (积极的) changes to the lake.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

In order to deal with the problem, the Netherlands used thousands of windmills (风车). So the Netherlands became a famous land of windmills.

When the flag is hung on the windmill, it may mean that a baby was born, or a couple are holding a wedding.

【答案】51. How about you/What about you
52. Why do you prefer to learn from TV and films
53. Of course/Yes
54. What kind of books do you like best
55. Can I borrow one
【解析】
【导语】这是发生在A和B之间的对话。A和B主要交流了各自了解世界的方式及相关信息。
【51题详解】
根据空前的“I like to learn about the world from books.”和答语“I prefer to learn from TV and films.”可知,B介绍自己喜欢通过书来了解世界,后续A表示自己更喜欢通过电视和电影来了解世界,由此可推知,设空处A问的是:你呢?即你怎样了解世界呢?How about you/What about you都表示“你呢”,符合语境。故填How about you/What about you。
【52题详解】
根据答语“Because TV and films make me learn that the world is colourful.”可推知,此处B是询问A“为什么更喜欢通过电视和电影来了解世界?”故填Why do you prefer to learn from TV and films。
【53题详解】
结合问句“Do the books help you a lot?”和空后的“Books allow me to learn about people in different periods.”可知,A询问B“书帮助了你很多吗?”,A表示“书允许我了解不同时期的人们。”,由此可推知,A认为书确实帮了他很多。Of course“当然”或Yes“是的”都符合题意。故填Of course/Yes。
【54题详解】
根据答语“Autobiography (自传). I can learn interesting stories about different great people around the world.”可知,B最喜欢的书应该是自传,由此可推知,设空处A询问的是“你最喜欢什么种类的书?”。故填What kind of books do you like best。
【55题详解】
根据答语“Yes. Come to my room and I’ll find one for you.”可推知,A想借一本自传,所以,此处A表达的应该是“我能借一本吗?”故填Can I borrow one。

Li Yunli recalls that when she was a child, the water in Dianchi Lake in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, was so clean that local people could drink it directly.
But the lake was greatly polluted in the 1980s. Local people tried to keep away from it, even though they had once depended on its fish for their living. Many people chose to change jobs and go somewhere else to make a living, but not Li. Instead, she set up her mind to clean the lake.
She has been cleaning the lake for over 30 years now. And her hard work has made her one of China’s 100 model environmental protection volunteers.
In 1987, local government started a volunteer program to deal with the growing number of the water hyacinth (水葫芦). Li attended it. The following year, an all-woman team was built to do the cleaning in the lake. Their job was to salvage the water hyacinth and other things in the lake. Li was the leader of the team.
Since then, she and her team can often be seen starting work at 7 a.m. whether it’s rainy or sunny. The hardest period time is from June to August, when the water hyacinth grows fastest. Plants and rubbish during this period are blown in many different directions and rain sometimes makes the work harder. “I grew up near Dianchi Lake. I’m cleaning it not only for the lake, but also for myself and for future people,” Li Yunli said. “As long as I am hard-working in taking the lead in the clean-up, more people will join us to protect Dianchi Lake, and the lake will return to its best condition.”
Thanks to the team’s work and also to the increasing attention from the local government, there have been positive (积极的) changes to the lake.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
6. Why did local people leave the lake?
A. Because it was polluted badly.
B. Because they found better jobs in the city.
C. Because the government told them to leave.
D. Because there were no more fish in the lake.
7. The local government started the volunteer program to ________.
A. create an all-woman team
B. clean up the water hyacinth in Dianchi Lake

D. spread the knowledge of protecting Dianchi Lake

The Netherlands is low-lying and influenced by the north sea wind, which causes floods (洪水) to happen easily in the past. In order to deal with the problem, the Netherlands used thousands of windmills (风车). So the Netherlands became a famous land of windmills. With this invention, the Netherlands set a special date and held some activities. It’s held on the second Saturday of May each year. Gradually, Windmill Day becomes a traditional folk festival in the Netherlands.
Windmills have different meanings in different states. They bring good luck to people in most situations. When the flag is hung on the windmill, it may mean that a baby was born, or a couple are holding a wedding. When the fan of windmill is like a cross, it means that some important guests are coming and they are warmly welcomed. However, when the windmill is at rest and backward, it mainly tells us that something bad has happened.
Nowadays, during your visit in the Netherlands, you can choose the windmill museums. Also, you can go to the local windmill villages. There are sill more than 1,000 windmills around the country, with many still in use. Every windmill is covered in red and green and is slowly running to greet you.
