Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all? To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why dry deserts are almost not covered by trees or grass everywhere. Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here can only grow in the soil between the cracks of the stones. Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants every day, many of them will die because the sand on the beach has almost no food for plants. ( )31. The passage tells us that plants need_________things to grow. A.two B.three C. four D. five ( )32. The underlined word “cracks” means “_________” in Chinese. A.缝隙 B.表面 C.夹层 D.底部 ( )33. The reason why most of the plants can’t grow on the sandy beach is that __________. A. there is little food for plants B. there is too much water C. sunshine is not enough D. sunlight is too strong ( )34. Maybe the passage can be found in a __________book. A.travel B. history C. story D. science B “Colour” and “color”, “favourite” and “favorite”, ... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by a teacher named Noah Webster. He changed English to make American identity stronger. After the Revolutionary War, Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary and that they shouldn’t rely on British ones. He took away the English “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other words are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”. Webster spent 28 years finishing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spellings in 1828. He also brought in local words. Most American schools use his dictionary. People believe it helped a new country get unity and cultural independence. “He was the maker of our language and the maker of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is writing a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.” ( )35. Why do Americans spell some words without a “u”? A. Because Americans are lazy enough to take it away. B. Because American English changed when people used it. C. Because the USA government changed the spelling of words. D. Because a teacher named Noah Webster started the change in spelling. ( )36. Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary? A. It has local words in it. B. It is a 70,000-word dictionary. C. All the words are spelled without “u”. D. Its words are in American-style spelling. ( )37. What do people think of Webster’s dictionary? A. It is only a dictionary that Americans still use today. B. It brought Americans together through language and culture. C. It wasn’t popular among Americans or Englishmen. D. It made American English more useful than British English. ( )38. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. British English disappeared after the Revolutionary War. B. Noah Webster changed English to make American identity stronger. C. Noah Webster took away the British “u” in some words. D. Noah Webster brought in local words to his dictionary. C Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.” One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean! Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. ( )39. The writer was surprised that __________. A. the woman was sitting by her window B. the woman’s window was clean C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon D. the woman’s window was still terrible ( )40. The underlined sentence “it dawned on me” probably means “__________”. A. I began to understand it B. it cheered me up C. I knew it grew light D. it began to get dark ( )41. It’s clear that__________. A. the writer had never met the woman before B. the writer often washed the window C. they both worked as cleaners D. they lived in a small town ( )42. We can learn from the passage that __________. A. one shouldn’t criticize others very often B. one should often make his windows clean C. one must judge himself before he judge others D. one must look at others through his dirty windows D Imagine a large open space with two teams running, throwing, passing and catching a disc, a thin flat round dish. It is called flying disc (飞碟). the newest popular sport in young people in China. A research shows about 60% of people saying they like to make new friends through the sport. The Chinese Flying Disc Administrative Committee says about 500,000 people in China played flying disc last year, producing over 8,000,000 yuan. How did flying disc get such great popularity in China in a short time? First, it is a team sport. It helps everyone quickly get to know each other. Second, it is played with a flying disc, thrown by hand. It needs little or no body-touching so it helps avoid being angry and fighting. What's more, this sport allows people to enjoy it without spending a lot of time learning about the rules or skills. The growing popularity has drawn attention of the Chinese government. In 2019, the Asia Oceanic Ultimate and Guts Championships was held in Shanghai. It is the first world match in this sport held in China. In July 2022, the General Administration of Sport decided China's first flying disc tournament starting in August and the final match to be held in May next year. The sport will certainly have a bigger home market going forward. ( )43. How does the writer show the popularity of flying disc? A. By asking questions. B. By using numbers. C.

It’s a railway that runs for 13 kilometres and carries over 80,000 passengers(乘客) every day. The Schwebebahn travels in a very different way. Its 24-metre-long train doesn’t run on the track(轨道), but under it. The track is 12 metres above the river, so as the train goes over the city. Passengers can enjoy the exciting sights freely. The Schwebebahn didn’t come easy. In the 1880s, the traffic in Wuppertal was so busy that the government had to develop a new way of travelling. At that time, a man named Eugen Langen was trying a railway under the track to carry products for his company. It was successful so later Eugen put this idea into the Schwebebahn. In that way, the space above the River Wupper got fully used. It turned out to be a very good choice. The Schwebebahn gives special travel experiences to passengers. Its stations are as beautiful as art museums, so passengers won’t be bored while waiting in the stations. A classical train also offers all kinds of services, such as food and drinks. What's more, people can book this train to have parties or even get married in the air! They will never forget this one-hour journey in the air. Now the Schwebebahn is more than a railway for Wuppertal. It is a symbol of the city. ( )47. How does the Schwebebahn travel according to the passage? ( )48. What does “this idea”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Making products for a company. B.Using the space above the river. C. Building a railway under the track. D. Carrying things for the government. ( )49.
