When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill (半山腰). Even though they worked so hard, the production of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about our difficulties, and later, a canal project (灌溉工程) began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked.“They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Then, I moved to another city for my middle school. During one summer holiday, I came back to my hometown with my parents. When we arrived there, we were astonished__because everything had changed. The canal ran through every orchard. And my grandma told us that after the canal project was completed, the villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill to carry water anymore. And more and more people started planting fruit and the production increased a lot.
Thanks to the government's canal project, the development of our countryside has been improved. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometown. That is where we are from.
49.( )How did people make money in the village when the writer was very young?

51.( )In what order did the following things take place?
①A canal project began to be built in the village to solve the water problem.

④The villagers had to go up and down the hill to carry water.
A.④③①② B.④①③② C.③②①④ D.③①②④
52.( )(高阶思维·推理判断)What does the writer really want to express to us?
A.His village has hardly changed.

With the improvement of technology, some gadgets(小工具)have changed or even disappeared. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.
__①__
Do you have a landline(固定电话)at home? Mobile phones didn't use to be so popular at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines.
__②__
People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive(昂贵的), and not very useful—each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB.You would need three or four disks just for one song!
__③__
It's easy to take photos with mobile phones today. But photos used to cost much, and people took few of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take up to 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them seen, and you could collect them after a few days.
Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be the next to disappear?
53.( )What is the title for each paragraph?
a.Goodbye Disks b.Music to My Ears

Text 2
W:Dear friends, have you ever thought about your future life? Here, I'd like to talk about my dream life in 20 years.First, I'll wear comfortable and cool clothes.They can change colours and temperatures in different situations.Next, I'll travel with my family or friends in space or under the sea for vacation.Last, I'll spend my free time in the open air doing sports with a robot, but not playing computer games or watching TV.In a word, I'll enjoy my colourful life with my family and friends.
Ⅱ. Life two hundred years ago was very different from how it is today.Back then, people would wake up when the sun came up and spend most of their time working on farms.They made their own clothes and had to wash everything by hand.Those took a lot of time.
Today, with the help of machines, life is much easier.Although people still do housework, they now have more ways to enjoy their free time.At home, they can read books, listen to music or play games.On weekends, people may spend two or more hours outside doing activities like camping or riding bicycles.These activities help people have less stress and clear their minds.
