DIY began in the 1960s in the West. In Western countries, it was very expensive for people to pay someone to repair or decorate their house. So people tried to do most things around the house themselves. An English TV host named Barry Bucknell made it more and more popular among people. Now people can do many things by DIY. Why are so many people crazy about DIY? When you do DIY, you’re sure to save some money. It may take you some time to do it yourself, but you needn’t spend any money asking someone else to do things for you. DIY makes you special, too. Use your mind and try to make something great with your two hands. They are just what you want and need. Your DIY products (产品) can make you more popular among friends. What’s more, DIY makes you feel great about yourself. When you do DIY, it’s just a kind of exercise to keep you healthy. And it makes you feel close to nature and enjoy the joy of work. Also, it makes you be serious about your work and stop thinking about anything unhappy. For parents, DIY is also a great way to educate children. When children do DIY, they learn some knowledge (知识) they can’t learn from books. They can learn some life skills that are good for their future. In a word, DIY is always staying with us because we really need it in life. 29．When did DIY begin? A．In the 1950s. B．In the 1960s. C．In the 1970s. D．In the 1980s. 30．From the passage, what can we know? A．DIY can help save both time and money. B．Barry Bucknell did DIY to save a lot of money. C．DIY helps people get what they really want and need. D．Children can learn more knowledge from DIY than from their books. 31．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．DIY B．exercise C．product D．work 32．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Why is DIY popular? B．DIY teaches us more C．How does DIY save money? D．DIY makes people successful (C) Ren Kexin is preparing a New Year gift for her best friend. It is a cross stitch（十字绣）. Making the gift takes up a lot of her free time. “I’m interested in making gifts myself,” said the girl in Grade 10, “and I believe my friend will like it very much.” Many Chinese students make gifts instead of buying them. Ren is one of the students. A DIY gift is not only cheaper but also interesting to make and it has a special meaning. Teenagers also make other gifts like bracelets（手链）and Chinese knots. “Gift shops may sell many of them, but any gift you make yourself is special.” Zheng Ruobing, a 16-year-old girl said. She once made a gift for an American teacher. Her teacher was excited with the cross stitch. However, not all students are DIY fans. Luo Dinghan thinks making gifts is a waste of time. “I often buy gifts for my friends, as time is more important than money,” he said. “And some gifts you get from shops are much more beautiful.” 33．The report says that making a DIY gift may ________. A．be easy B．be boring C．take much time D．cost much 34．The report tells many good points of DIY gifts EXCEPT（除了）that ________. A．they are interesting to make B．they have special meanings C．they are cheap to make D．they look very beautiful 35．What did Zheng Ruobing do for her American teacher? A．made a cross stitch B．bought a bracelet C．made a Chinese knot D．got a cross stitch 36．The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “waste” should be “________”. A．珍惜 B．浪费 C．投资 D．节约 (D) DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV proprammes show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK— “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 37．How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage? A．Making their homes beautiful. B．Visiting their friends. C．Travelling all over the world. D．Making a lot of money. 38．Why do English people like DIY? A．Many stores sell DIY things. B．DIY can bring them fun. C．TV programmes teach them to DIY. D．All DIY projects are easy. 39．What can we learn from the passage? A．DIY is a waste of money. B．It is always difficult to DIY. C．We should be careful while doing DIY. D．It’s very safe for us to DIY. 40．In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means ___________. A．we can eat everything we like B．we should do something difficult C．we do something that is too difficult D．we eat too much food that is not safe (E) 阅读下面短文，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 What is DIY, why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work. 41 One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. 42 So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. 43 What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). 44 Many people remember the days when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. 45 and if they needed something, they also made it themselves. Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings. A．But he is too busy to do some DIY. B．In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. C．But it is not easy for him to relax after work.

It can help people have a different lifestyle. We can get a sense of satisfaction (满足) from DIY. For example, when we make drinks or foods by ourselves, we can become happy and healthy. Millions of people around the world are overweight now. To keep fit, people begin to turn to healthy ways to lose weight, such as taking exercise and having a healthy diet. Here is a kind of drink to help you. It is easy to make and tastes good. The drink includes three things—powdered cinnamon (肉桂粉), honey and water. First, take a pan and add a cup of water to it. Second, put the pan on the fire and boil (煮) the water for 2—3 minutes. Third, add a spoon of powdered cinnamon to the water and mix them together. Finally, let the mixture cool. After the mixture is cool, add some spoons of honey to it. The drink is delicious and good for our health. It’s a good idea to have half a cup of it daily before you go to bed and have the rest the next morning before eating breakfast. 46．What can we get from DIY? 47．Why do people begin to turn to healthy ways to lose weight? 48．How many kinds of things are there in the drink? 49．When should we put honey into the mixture? 50．What do you think of the drink? 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 DIY, which means “do-it-yourself”, is quite popular in the UK.

Making the gift takes up a lot of her free time. “I’m interested in making gifts myself,” said the girl in Grade 10, “and I believe my friend will like it very much.” Many Chinese students make gifts instead of buying them. Ren is one of the students. A DIY gift is not only cheaper but also interesting to make and it has a special meaning. Teenagers also make other gifts like bracelets（手链）and Chinese knots. “Gift shops may sell many of them, but any gift you make yourself is special.” Zheng Ruobing, a 16-year-old girl said. She once made a gift for an American teacher. Her teacher was excited with the cross stitch. However, not all students are DIY fans.

Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV proprammes show people how to DIY. English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK— “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 37．How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage? A．Making their homes beautiful.
