To make FFA successful,Selby needed eager volunteers and trees with fruit.Selby asked community members to call or contact him online and let him know whether they had trees with extra fruit.At first,it was difficult to find people who were willing to contribute the fruit in their trees.But as news of Selby's idea spread,people contacted him.Soon,FFA was really"growing"! With the help of his brother Jack and other volunteers,Selby has gathered and donated more than 70,000 pounds of fruit to local food banks.The group usually works on the weekends,and the volunteers travel as far as 20 miles from Selby's house.The volunteers usually gather about 500 pounds of fruit each weekend.But one weekend they collected over 2,000 pounds of fruit! FFA also has a website that explains the group's goal,which is to inspire people to help. Visitors to the website leam three ways they can take part in.They can allow volunteers to pick fruit from their trees.They can volunteer to pick fruit.And they can start an FFA group in their own area. People who are interested can also use the website to ask Selby and Jack questions and post comments. More volunteers are joining in.Although the contributions might be small,they can make a big difference.With the help from groups like FFA,more people are able to enjoy delicious fruit. 45.What does FFA do? A.It offers fruit classes. B.It grows and sells fruit C.It builds a food factory. D.It collects and donates fruit. 46.What did Selby need to make FFA successful at the start? A.Food markets. B.Volunteers. C.Website designers. D.Money. 47.Website visitors can help FFA by A.explaining its goal B.visiting neighbours C.starting their local FFA D.developing interest in planting 48.What kind of boy is Selby according to the passage? A.Caring. B.Patient. C.Polite. D.Strict. c Many studies have shown that drinking plenty of water a day is good for our health.People are paying careful attention to that advice,and millions of people choose to buy bottled water to drink. Unfortunately,many of these plastic water bottles are being thrown away.It can take centuries for these bottles to break down. For the last several years,three designers from Imperial College in London,England,have been working to address the problem of plastic bottles.The team's goal is to "make packaging waste disappear".To achieve that goal,these designers have developed a unique product called Ooho. Believe it or not,the Ooho is several small mouthfuls of water wrapped in a golf-ball-sized bubble ()You can make a hole in its skin and drink the water out of it.You'can also throw the entire bubble in your mouth-no bottle needed!Ooho's skin is made from seaweed ()It is nearly tasteless and easy for the body to take in.If people would rather not eat it,however,the skin can be thrown away.In less than a month,it will break down completely. The skin is very affordable to make.First,a ball of water is frozen in a special chemical solution ()Next,it is put in a solution made of brown seaweed.Each bubble costs less than two cents to make.It is,therefore,a far cheaper replacement for plastic bottles. The three designers have been figuring out the flaws and searching for possible solutions.For example,the Ooho is great if someone just wants a single mouthful of water.But what if the person is especially thirsty and wants more?They are exploring the idea of making bigger bubbles and also searching for a way to connect several bubbles together.Another problem with the product has been how to transport it in packaging that is safe for the environment but still protects the bubbles from breaking. To find out if people are interested in Ooho,the designers have plans in place to hand out their bubbles next year at sporting events like marathons,as well as at entertainment sites.If Ooho becomes popular,people across the country may soon find themselves eating their water instead of drinking it! 49.The author writes the first paragraph to A.answer a question B.express an opinion C.present a problem D.provide an example 50.What is Ooho? A.A protective skin. B.Bubbled water. C.A chemical solution. D.Plastic material. 51.What does the underlined word"flaws"in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A.Functions. B.Wonders. C.Purposes. D.Weaknesses. 52.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.Water That You Can Eat B.Ways to Produce Plastic Bottles C.Waste That Pollutes Our Planet D.Bubbles to Improve Our Health 0 There's a famous story about NASA and the Russian space programme.It is said that NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that would write in space.The Russians,on the other hand, just used a pencil.This story isn't true,but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils. The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans.The pencil that we know,however,got its start in England in 1564.In that year,farmers in a county north of London discovered graphite ()which they called"black lead"and used to mark sheep.There was only one problem:the graphite blackened their hands and clothes.To prevent this from happening,they covered sheep skin around graphite sticks. The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder.At first,they dug out wood and slid the graphite in.Later,though,they put the graphite between two pieces of wood and glued the wood together.Then,in 1662,some Germans learned how to use powdered graphite and began mass-producing pencils. The next major development occurred in the mid-18th century,when war broke out between England and France.Since England had the only source of graphite,France was unable to import the mineral.This led a Frenchman to mix clay()with the graphite powder that he had.By changing the amount of graphite in the mixture,he could control the hardness and darkness of the pencil.The HB (Hardness and Blackness)system of pencils was thus born.Soon after that,pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere. Pencils are primarily used to write,but they can serve in other roles too.For example,rub a pencil over a newly-bought key to ensure that it slides easily into a lock.This method also works with zippers that are repeatedly getting stuck.Additionally,use it as a replacement for a ruler to help you draw straight lines. Today,more than 15 billion pencils are made each year.For many,the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool.Its design may have changed throughout the years,yet its uscfulness has allowed it to continuc making a mark on our lives. 53.What docs the story about the Russian space programme help to show? A.The darkness of pencils. B.The weakness of pencils. C.The hardness of pencils. D.The usefulness of pencils. 54.Who were the first to think of putting the graphite into a wooden holder? A.Italians. B.Germans. C.Englishmen. D.Frenchmen. 55.What made pencils become common everywhere? A.The outbreak of a war. B.The use of glued wood. C.The birth of the HB system D.The import of the graphite. 56.What is the passage mainly about? A.The effect of pencils. B.The history of pencils. C.The design of pencils. D.The variety of pencils. 第二节（共4小题：每小题2分，共8分） 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线 上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 The comb is a common tool in daily life.It was invented 6,000 years ago.
