It was also something that ancient (古代的) Chinese paid great attention to. In fact, the world’s earliest environmental protection idea, ministry (政府的部) and law were all born in China. How did the ancient Chinese protect the environment? The world’s earliest idea of “managing state affairs (治国) through environmental protection” Xunzi, a famous thinker in the Warring States Period, came up with the idea of “managing state affairs through environmental protection”. He wrote in his book that plants should be protected well by humans. Guan Zhong, a government officer 400 years ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. He said “a king who cannot protect his plants is not doing a good job”. ____________ Nine ministries set up by Shun, an ancient Chinese emperor, included “Yu”, an environmental protection ministry. The first “Yu” leader was Boyi, an environmental protection expert. He invented wells so people could drink clean water. He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection. The world’s earliest “environmental protection law” Over 4,000 years ago, Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert and also an emperor, made a rule, not allowing people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June, because it was the time when they grew quickly. Almost 3,000 years ago, Tianlu, the first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. It recorded many ancient environmental protection rules. Two of them were interesting: firstly, make sure that rivers run smoothly; secondly, grass and trees should be burned to be fertilizer (肥料) only in summer. The second one is helpful even for today. It can help to keep air clean and fresh. 1．What is the purpose of first paragraph? A．To draw a conclusion (总结). B．To show an example. C．To give the reasons.

A．The first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. B．Plants shouldn’t be burned in spring. C．Boyi improved drinking water quality and asked people to protect animals. D．Guan Zhong wrote in his book that vegetation should be protected well by humans. 4．Why didn’t Dayu allow people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June? A．Because people can only get wood and fish at the right time. B．Because it was the time when they grew slowly. C．Because they are against the law made by Dayu. D．Because Dayu is a water-control expert and also an emperor. 5．Which of the following websites may the article be from ________? A．http://www.newsreport.com B．http://www.environment.com C．http://www.biologyproject.com D．http://www.healthmagazine.com 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代最早的环保理念、环保部门以及环保法律。 1．推理判断题。根据“How did the ancient Chinese protect the environment?”可知，第一段的目的是通过一个问题引出文章的主题。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Nine ministries set up by Shun, an ancient Chinese emperor, included ‘Yu’, an environmental protection ministry.”可知，本文主要介绍了中国古代的环保部门，故C选项“世界上最早的‘生态环境保护部’”符合。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Xunzi, a famous thinker in the Warring States Period ...

The year was 1985, and a terrible earthquake hit Mexico City. A hospital fell down. Wendy watched as rescue workers tried to carry babies out of pieces of bricks and stones. The little babies were sleeping in the hospital’s incubators, a place to keep them warm and alive. Wendy saw the babies being carried on stretchers. The stretchers were too big and not suitable for the little babies. Workers had to hold the babies down onto the stretchers to keep them from falling off. This made it harder to move and more difficult to go fast. Watching this, Wendy thought, “There has to be a better way. “ Wendy worked at a hospital for sick children. Watching the news, she started thinking about a stretcher that would be just for babies. She designed a stretcher with three pockets. Each pocket could hold two babies. The babies could not fall out of the pockets. When Wendy designed her stretcher, she looked at all types of materials. She finally chose a heavy material. People used such materials to make special bags to deliver pizzas. They could help keep pizzas warm! Today, Wendy’s stretchers are used all around the world.

The answer is Wordle! Wordle players must correctly guess a five-letter word with just six tries. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries. Invented by software engineer Josh Wardle, the game has been popular with millions of players across the world. Every midnight, Wordle refreshes its word of the day. For example. the answer for November 3 is ALOUD． As you guess, the game gives you hints (提示). For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints make the game into a puzzle (谜). You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. Every syllable (音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel (元音)，so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word “think”, there is only one syllable and there is one vowel “i”. Several days ago, I played this game and found it very interesting. First, I guessed the word “table”. Only “a” was green. Then, I guessed “maker” and the “r” turned yellow. In the end, I guessed “carry” and I was correct! Wordle is not only a perfect game to have fun, but also an excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time? 1．Match the color hints with the situations and choose the right answer. ① The letter is not in the word. ② The letter is correct and in the right place. ③ The letter is part of the word but in the wrong place. a. Green. b. Gray. c. Yellow. A．①-a ②-b ③-c B．①-c ②-b ③-a C．①-c ②-a ③-b D．①-b ②-a ③-c 2．Which of the following word CAN’T describe the Wordle? A．Easy. B．Popular. C．Interesting. D．Useful. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Users can never win Wordle if they know little English. B．Every syllable in an English word includes only one vowel. C．There is only one correct word in Wordle every day. D．Wordle players can guess a six-letter word with five tries. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her. One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house. “You are a beautiful horse,” he said. “You have a beautiful coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.” I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to wear reins (缰绳) and a bit (马嚼子) in my mouth. I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them. My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly. The other was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people. Ginger told me about her life when she was young. She told me, “My master was not kind to me. My reins and bit hurt me. My master did not care.” Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.

Just then a man saw us. “Hey, there! Stop!” he cried. “What is it?” shouted Squire. “The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are going to drown in the river.” “Thank God!” said Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives.

First, his mother would not care for him or feed him. So Knut was raised by humans. Second, he was quite playful with people and very easy to take photos with. Knut became the star of the zoo.

The once-cute baby bear became a full-size bear, weighing more than 300 pounds! And as Knut grew, his problems came too. He began to cry if nobody stood near his pen. This was a sign that he became too accustomed to having a group of people around him. Also, zookeepers could not get close to Knut any more. They were worried that he would hurt them by accident. Knut went on to live at the zoo, but he was no more a star. Nobody knows what the future holds for Knut. Some people think he should have a polar bear to live with.

But how much do you know about them? No one knows who made the first set of glasses. However, it’s sure that they were first made in 13th century. Glasses showed up around the same time in northern Italy and China. Early glasses weren’t made of glass. That’s because most glass at that time was not clear, so it wouldn’t have worked well for glasses. Glasses didn’t look much like modern glasses until the 1700s. That’s when people put ear stems (耳柄) to keep glasses on their faces. Around this time, reading and writing became more popular. People didn’t start seeing eye doctors for glasses before the 1800s. At that time, they just tried on different pairs of glasses before they found one to make their eyesight better. Then eye doctors showed up and changed that. They gave an eye test for people to tell whether (是否) or not they needed a pair of glasses. ★ One big change was bifocal (双光眼镜) in 1784. This made glasses help people see things that are both far away and very near. Sunglasses are about as old as glasses. People in China started wearing sunglasses in the 12th century. Today, many people also wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜). However, you should always take your contact lenses out at night. And some people wear glasses with no lenses at all. This is called fashion glasses. They come in many shapes and sizes to fit anyone’s personal style. 1．How many kinds of glasses does the passage talk about in the passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．six. 2．What made people wear glasses more often in the 1700s? A．Wearing glasses made people look better. B．More and more people liked reading and writing. C．People used ear stems to keep glasses on their faces. D．People had better eyesight with the help of eye doctors. 3．Which sentence can be put in ★? A．New glasses come out every year. B．Glasses have really changed our lives. C．It’s important to choose the right glasses. D．Glasses have changed since a long time ago. 4．What is the main purpose(目的)of this passage? A．To tell us the history of glasses. B．To teach us how to choose glasses. C．To show different kinds of glasses. D．To make us know the importance of eyesight. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了眼镜的历史。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“Glasses didn’t look much like modern glasses until the 1700s.

In fact, the world’s earliest environmental protection idea, ministry (政府的部) and law were all born in China. How did the ancient Chinese protect the environment? The world’s earliest idea of “managing state affairs (治国) through environmental protection” Xunzi, a famous thinker in the Warring States Period, came up with the idea of “managing state affairs through environmental protection”. He wrote in his book that plants should be protected well by humans. Guan Zhong, a government officer 400 years ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. He said “a king who cannot protect his plants is not doing a good job”. ____________ Nine ministries set up by Shun, an ancient Chinese emperor, included “Yu”, an environmental protection ministry. The first “Yu” leader was Boyi, an environmental protection expert. He invented wells so people could drink clean water. He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection. The world’s earliest “environmental protection law” Over 4,000 years ago, Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert and also an emperor, made a rule, not allowing people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June, because it was the time when they grew quickly. Almost 3,000 years ago, Tianlu, the first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. It recorded many ancient environmental protection rules. Two of them were interesting: firstly, make sure that rivers run smoothly; secondly, grass and trees should be burned to be fertilizer (肥料) only in summer. The second one is helpful even for today. It can help to keep air clean and fresh. 1．What is the purpose of first paragraph? A．To draw a conclusion (总结). B．To show an example. C．To give the reasons.

A．The first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. B．Plants shouldn’t be burned in spring. C．Boyi improved drinking water quality and asked people to protect animals. D．Guan Zhong wrote in his book that vegetation should be protected well by humans. 4．Why didn’t Dayu allow people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June? A．Because people can only get wood and fish at the right time. B．Because it was the time when they grew slowly. C．Because they are against the law made by Dayu.

A place is called a desert because it is very dry. Many people think that deserts must be hot as well as dry. They are only half right. It is true that the world’s deserts are always dry.

The year was 1985, and a terrible earthquake hit Mexico City. A hospital fell down. Wendy watched as rescue workers tried to carry babies out of pieces of bricks and stones. The little babies were sleeping in the hospital’s incubators, a place to keep them warm and alive. Wendy saw the babies being carried on stretchers. The stretchers were too big and not suitable for the little babies. Workers had to hold the babies down onto the stretchers to keep them from falling off. This made it harder to move and more difficult to go fast. Watching this, Wendy thought, “There has to be a better way. “ Wendy worked at a hospital for sick children. Watching the news, she started thinking about a stretcher that would be just for babies. She designed a stretcher with three pockets. Each pocket could hold two babies. The babies could not fall out of the pockets. When Wendy designed her stretcher, she looked at all types of materials. She finally chose a heavy material. People used such materials to make special bags to deliver pizzas. They could help keep pizzas warm! Today, Wendy’s stretchers are used all around the world.

Wordle players must correctly guess a five-letter word with just six tries. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries. Invented by software engineer Josh Wardle, the game has been popular with millions of players across the world. Every midnight, Wordle refreshes its word of the day. For example. the answer for November 3 is ALOUD． As you guess, the game gives you hints (提示). For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints make the game into a puzzle (谜). You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. Every syllable (音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel (元音)，so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word “think”, there is only one syllable and there is one vowel “i”. Several days ago, I played this game and found it very interesting. First, I guessed the word “table”. Only “a” was green. Then, I guessed “maker” and the “r” turned yellow. In the end, I guessed “carry” and I was correct! Wordle is not only a perfect game to have fun, but also an excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time? 1．Match the color hints with the situations and choose the right answer. ① The letter is not in the word. ② The letter is correct and in the right place. ③ The letter is part of the word but in the wrong place. a.

The zookeepers didn’t know that this cute baby bear would cause such big changes for the zoo. Knut was different from other polar bears in two ways. First, his mother would not care for him or feed him. So Knut was raised by humans. Second, he was quite playful with people and very easy to take photos with. Knut became the star of the zoo. Because of Knut, the zoo made more money in 2007 than in any other year. Many visitors came to see Knut and bought toys, DVDs, and books about him. Newspapers called him “Cute Knut”, and there were photos of him on magazine covers worldwide. As time passed, Knut grew bigger. He wasn’t as cute as before. The once-cute baby bear became a full-size bear, weighing more than 300 pounds! And as Knut grew, his problems came too. He began to cry if nobody stood near his pen. This was a sign that he became too accustomed to having a group of people around him. Also, zookeepers could not get close to Knut any more. They were worried that he would hurt them by accident. Knut went on to live at the zoo, but he was no more a star. Nobody knows what the future holds for Knut. Some people think he should have a polar bear to live with.

But how much do you know about them? No one knows who made the first set of glasses. However, it’s sure that they were first made in 13th century. Glasses showed up around the same time in northern Italy and China. Early glasses weren’t made of glass. That’s because most glass at that time was not clear, so it wouldn’t have worked well for glasses. Glasses didn’t look much like modern glasses until the 1700s. That’s when people put ear stems (耳柄) to keep glasses on their faces. Around this time, reading and writing became more popular. People didn’t start seeing eye doctors for glasses before the 1800s. At that time, they just tried on different pairs of glasses before they found one to make their eyesight better. Then eye doctors showed up and changed that. They gave an eye test for people to tell whether (是否) or not they needed a pair of glasses. ★ One big change was bifocal (双光眼镜) in 1784. This made glasses help people see things that are both far away and very near. Sunglasses are about as old as glasses. People in China started wearing sunglasses in the 12th century. Today, many people also wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜). However, you should always take your contact lenses out at night. And some people wear glasses with no lenses at all. This is called fashion glasses. They come in many shapes and sizes to fit anyone’s personal style. 1．How many kinds of glasses does the passage talk about in the passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five.

We had not sat long before another person came in. There were no heavy clouds in the sky any more, and the moon became bright; and her light, coming in through a window near, shone full both on us and on the coming person, Miss Temple. “I came to find you, Jane Eyre,” said she. “I want you in my room, and as Helen is with you, she may come too.” We followed Miss Temple to her room.
