One famous school is in San Pablo, the Philippines. It is the first school of its kind in Asia. Workers filled plastic bottles with earth and used them to build walls. A non-profit group (非营利组织) led by Illac Diaz built it. The local government gave money, and many volunteers helped. These plastic bottles were free, and the earth was cheap. What’s more, the school is very strong—it can stand small floods! In Guatemala, there is another plastic bottle school. In 2009, the village of Granados built it. Workers mixed plastic bottles with cement (水泥) and filled the bottles with waste. For two classrooms, they used over 5,000 plastic bottles, lots of waste and cement. The school cost only $10,000. Now, 297 students study there. These schools show us a great way to reuse waste. They also tell us: we can protect the environment while building useful things. 1. What did workers fill plastic bottles with in the Philippine school? A. Water B. Earth C. Waste D. Cement 2. Who helped build the school in San Pablo? ① Illac Diaz’s group ② Volunteers ③ The local government ④ Students A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 3. What can we learn from the plastic bottle schools? A.

They go to a special school—forest school—once a week. Every Monday morning, the boys pack their bags with clothes, shoes, food and water, but no books. Lisa drives them to a park near their home—that’s their forest school! The forest school is open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students there explore nature: they look for animals, climb trees for fruit and make small fires (with teachers’ help). At first, Lisa was nervous: “Would my sons be safe? Would they learn anything?” But soon she felt relaxed. Tom and Sam love the forest school. They plan their own activities and solve problems by themselves. For example, when they couldn’t find fruit on a tree, they asked the teacher for tips and tried again. When Lisa picks them up in the afternoon, their clothes are dirty, but their faces are full of smiles. “The forest school teaches them to look after themselves and love nature,” Lisa says. “That’s more important than some books.” 4. How often do Tom and Sam go to the forest school? A. Every day B. Every Monday C. Every weekend D. Every month 5. What do the boys NOT put in their bags? A. Clothes B. Books C. Food D. Water 6.

Jean wrote: “I want to be an airline pilot.” But her teacher gave her an “F” and said, “It’s a fairy tale. Girls can’t be pilots!” Jean was sad, but she didn’t forget her dream. In high school, Jean’s English teacher was Mrs Slaton. One day, Mrs Slaton asked: “What will you do in the future?” Jean wrote down her old dream—being a pilot. Mrs Slaton said, “I think you have the ability. If you don’t work for your dream, no one will help you. You can do it if you try.” Jean told Mrs Slaton about her Grade 3 experience. Mrs Slaton said, “Just do it!” With this encouragement, Jean started to work hard. She studied math and science (important for pilots) and took flying lessons. For over 10 years, she faced many difficulties, but she never gave up. Finally, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain (机长) for United Airlines. She proved (证明) that girls can be pilots too! 7.

During the rainy season, heavy floods often happen. Many children from poor families can’t go to school—their schools are under water, and some even work in train stations to help their families. To solve this problem, some organizations built “boat schools” in Bangladesh. These schools are on boats, so they can move on water. Each boat school has a classroom, a library and a small playground. The teachers on the boats are kind and patient. They teach children math, English and science. They also teach children about environmental protection—for example, how to reuse waste. With boat schools, children can go to school even when there are floods. They don’t have to work in train stations anymore. The boat schools are cheap, and they bring education to poor children. Many children say, “We love the boat school. We can learn and make friends here.” Now, there are over 100 boat schools in Bangladesh. They help thousands of children get an education. 1. Why can’t many children in Bangladesh go to school during the rainy season? 2. What is a “boat school”? 3. What facilities (设施) does each boat school have? 4. What do teachers teach children besides math, English and science? 5. How many boat schools are there in Bangladesh now? 六、首字母填空（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，补全空格内单词，使短文完整、通顺。 Tom is an exchange student from the UK.

You asked about my school life, so I want to tell you something about it. My school has many special courses. We have drama classes where we learn to act and express feelings. We also have foreign language classes—I’m learning English and a little Japanese. In science class, we do lots of experiments by ourselves, which is very interesting. Our school holds many activities too. Every term, we have a sports meeting and an art festival. Last month, I joined the labor practice—we cleaned the school garden and planted small trees. I think my school life is colorful and meaningful. I learn a lot and make many friends here. I’m looking forward to hearing about your school life! Yours, Li Hua ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
