He always wore an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag. He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime walking around in that old big factory and collecting used tins (铝罐).
One day, I was fixing one of the broken machines in the factory when this “tin man” came with his bag. As usual, he picked up the tins, which were all around the place. My manager was standing there, watching me.
When I finished my job, I heard my manager ask the “tin man” about what he was going to do with those tins he had collected. I never even thought about this kind of question, because I always assumed that “tin man” would take those tins to the recycling center.
Unexpectedly, the “tin man” answered, “I will give these tins to my neighbor. He has been ill for many years and cannot work.”
I was so shocked to hear that, so I asked him: “You mean you collect all those tins just to help your neighbor?”
“I know this does not help much,” he said. “But I give everything to him, because he cannot work. He needs help.”
It was the most beautiful moment in my life. It has made me feel humble (谦卑的) every day since then.

① Green is the color of nature and the symbol of life. For thousands of years, humans have followed the laws of nature to live in harmony (和谐) with nature.
② That has been seen in ancient Chinese houses. Ancient Chinese often built their homes at the foot of the mountain with a river running nearby. The mountains could stop the cold wind from the north and the river provided water for life. Most houses were also built facing south or west so that the rooms were able to get enough sunshine in winter and keep cool in summer.
③ In modern times, humans didn’t follow the laws of nature during fast development. Luckily, it’s never too late to make changes.
④ Green development is the goal of all countries. On April 23, 2016, China signed the Paris Agreement on climate change, giving a strong push to the international efforts against global (全球) warming.
⑤ Also in China, the government added green development to the country’s work plans. From 1999 to the end of 2018, by carrying out Mother River Protection Operation, China raised 600 million yuan to build over 5,700 green projects. Through international cooperation (合作), over 98.32 million trees were planted across China.
⑥ Denmark is a leading country in wind and solar technologies. This year Denmark has started the “Power-to-X” plan, providing about 1.25 billion kroner (about 1.27 billion yuan) for projects producing hydrogen (氢气).
⑦ Builders across the world are also playing a role in green development. In Chicago, pressed newspaper, recycled glass and plastic are used on buildings. In Bali, the green school is made from bamboo. The school gets its electricity (电) from solar panels (太阳能电池板), water power and a generator that burns farm waste.
⑧ Following the laws of nature is the only way out. A small move in one country may influence the global community as a whole. Let’s join our hands to make the world a better place for now and future.
26. What do we know about the ancient Chinese houses?
A. They were built on the mountains. B. They were built far from rivers.
C. They were built facing south or west. D. They were built to get enough wind.

A. By explaining the results. B. By raising questions.
C. By comparing differences. D. By giving examples.
28. Which of the following would the writer agree with?
A. Everyone is part of the green development.
B. Green buildings are the future of the world.
C. Green development is just protecting nature.
D. The future of humans depends on technology.
29. Which is the best structure of this passage?

【答案】26. C 27. D 28. A 29. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍绿色是自然的颜色,也是生命的象征。人类遵循自然规律,与自然和谐相处。

四、回答问题(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答所提问题。
Most teens need more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble in sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect everything from our feelings to how well we focus on tasks like studying. It can also influence sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may lead to weight gain in some people.
How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:
Be active during the day. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don’t work too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.
Say goodnight to electronics. Experts suggest using the bedroom for sleep only. At least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.
Keep a sleep routine (规律). Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep. Creating a bedtime routine can improve this relaxation effect. Reading, listening to music, spending time with a pet, writing a diary or doing anything else can relax you.
Expect a good night’s sleep. Instead of worrying that you won’t sleep, remind yourself that you can. Say “Tonight, I will sleep well.” several times during the day. It can also help to practise breathing exercises or gentle exercises before bed.
Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while. But if you regularly have trouble in sleeping and you think it’s affecting your mood or performance, talk to your doctor.

Methods of learning English
Here are my methods of learning English. First, I usually watch English movies and listen to English songs. I think it’s a relaxing way to learn the correct pronunciation and proper expressions. Second, reading passages on the same topic helps a lot in learning new words. In this way, the new words can be repeated and I can understand their meanings better. What’s more, it’s a good habit to keep a diary in English. That helps me think in English and improve my writing skills as well.
English is a bridge which connects the world and us. It’s interesting to learn it. I hope I can make greater progress in the future.

This is a story of a man who works in a big factory. I have seen him for years, but I’ve never paid any attention to him. He was a little bit weird (怪异的). He always wore an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag. He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime walking around in that old big factory and collecting used tins (铝罐).
One day, I was fixing one of the broken machines in the factory when this “tin man” came with his bag. As usual, he picked up the tins, which were all around the place. My manager was standing there, watching me.
When I finished my job, I heard my manager ask the “tin man” about what he was going to do with those tins he had collected. I never even thought about this kind of question, because I always assumed that “tin man” would take those tins to the recycling center.
Unexpectedly, the “tin man” answered, “I will give these tins to my neighbor. He has been ill for many years and cannot work.”
I was so shocked to hear that, so I asked him: “You mean you collect all those tins just to help your neighbor?”
“I know this does not help much,” he said. “But I give everything to him, because he cannot work. He needs help.”
It was the most beautiful moment in my life. It has made me feel humble (谦卑的) every day since then.
16. What’s the relationship between the “tin man” and the writer?
A. Friends. B. Neighbors. C. Workmates. D. Classmates.
17. The underlined word “assumed” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________ in Chinese.
A. 推断 B. 提到 C. 承担 D. 发现
18. What was the “tin man” going to do with the tins?
A. To invent a machine with the tins.
B. To give the tins away to his neighbor.
C. To take the tins to the recycling center.
D. To reuse the tins to make a gift for his neighbor.
19. How did the writer feel when hearing the “tin man’s” answer?
A. Weird. B. Humble. C. Interested. D. Shocked.
20. What’s the story mainly about?
A. What the big factory was famous for.
B. How a man helped others in his own way.
C. The humblest man the writer has ever met.
D. How a weird man made money in the factory.

Receiving messages and watching short videos on the phone are becoming more and more popular in China. It can help people get the latest information and communicate with friends. But I think more books should be read besides the textbooks, the more, the better. It can open my eyes and improve my language skills. Of course, it can also help me to get good grades. Do you know how to read more and learn more? Here’s some advice for you.
◆Clear your purpose for reading
Before reading, ask yourself why you are reading this book. Most people read for two main reasons, pleasure or knowledge. Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read, but also remind you why reading the book is important to you, so you will keep reading and complete the book faster.
◆Read only what you are interested in
No matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy.
◆Give up books that you don’t enjoy
You may have chosen books that you are interested in, and they are right to your purpose. But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don’t enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren’t enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. Remember reading shouldn’t be a boring thing.
◆Set a goal for your reading
It is interesting that I read the books borrowed from libraries faster than those I bought. The reason is the books I bought don’t have a due date! I don’t need to return those books. Having a reading goal helps you work out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day. Before you read each book, ask yourself what time you need to complete this book by.
21. According to the passage, the writer might be a ________.
A. teacher B. student C. doctor D. scientist

D. why we should read more books
D
① Green is the color of nature and the symbol of life. For thousands of years, humans have followed the laws of nature to live in harmony (和谐) with nature.
② That has been seen in ancient Chinese houses. Ancient Chinese often built their homes at the foot of the mountain with a river running nearby. The mountains could stop the cold wind from the north and the river provided water for life. Most houses were also built facing south or west so that the rooms were able to get enough sunshine in winter and keep cool in summer.
③ In modern times, humans didn’t follow the laws of nature during fast development. Luckily, it’s never too late to make changes.
④ Green development is the goal of all countries. On April 23, 2016, China signed the Paris Agreement on climate change, giving a strong push to the international efforts against global (全球的) warming.
⑤ Also in China, the government added green development to the country’s work plans. From 1999 to the end of 2018, by carrying out Mother River Protection Operation, China raised 600 million yuan to build over 5,700 green projects. Through international cooperation (合作), over 98.32 million trees were planted across China.
⑥ Denmark is a leading country in wind and solar technologies. This year Denmark has started the “Power-to-X” plan, providing about 1.25 billion kroner (about 1.27 billion yuan) for projects producing hydrogen (氢气).
⑦ Builders across the world are also playing a role in green development. In Chicago, pressed newspaper, recycled glass and plastic are used on buildings. In Bali, the green school is made from bamboo. The school gets its electricity (电) from solar panels (太阳能电池板), water power and a generator that burns farm waste.
⑧ Following the laws of nature is the only way out. A small move in one country may influence the global community as a whole. Let’s join our hands to make the world a better place for now and future.
26. What do we know about the ancient Chinese houses?
A. They were built on the mountains. B. They were built far from rivers.
C. They were built facing south or west. D. They were built to get enough wind.
27 How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 7?
A. By explaining the results. B. By raising questions.
C. By comparing differences. D. By giving examples.
28. Which of the following would the writer agree with?
A. Everyone is part of the green development.
B. Green buildings are the future of the world.
C. Green development is just protecting nature.
D. The future of humans depends on technology.
29. Which is the best structure of this passage?
A. B.
C. D.
