Later, feeling worried, Jeff decided to check on her in her bedroom. Her door was halfway open, so he quietly knocked and pushed it open. “Grandma?” Jeff said. No one answered.
“Grandma!” Jeff saw his grandmother lying on the floor next to her bed. He ran to her side to check on her right away.
Just weeks before, a doctor visited Jeff’s health class at school and talked about what to do in an emergency. Jeff ran to the phone and called 911.
A dispatcher (调度员) calmed Jeff down and asked him to stay on the line while he waited for the paramedics (护理人员) to arrive. As they waited, the dispatcher asked Jeff to do CPR (心肺复苏) . Luckily, he learned it during the class visit.

Seaweed (海藻) is a plant that grows in the ocean. It creates underwater forests where many sea animals live. Crabs (蟹) and fish like to stay in its long leaves. Seaweed grows very fast and does not need soil (土壤) or freshwater.
There are many kinds of seaweed. Some are thin, and some are tall. Seaweed helps make O₂ and this is good for the air and water.
Recent studies show that seaweed farming could help reduce CO₂. Too much CO₂ can make the Earth warmer. Seaweed can take in CO₂ as it grows. When seaweed breaks, some pieces go deep into the ocean. The CO₂ goes with them and stays there. This may help fight climate change by slowing down global (全球的) warming.
Seaweed farms are easy to set up. Farmers use ropes or nets to grow seaweed in the water. These farms do not need land, and they can create food and other useful things for people.
Scientists are studying if big seaweed farms can truly help the climate. And they want to make sure these farms are safe for ocean animals. With good planning, they hope seaweed can help our planet.
根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)、误(F)。
41. As a plant grows in the ocean, seaweed needs plenty of freshwater.
42. Seaweed is good for the air and water because it makes O₂.
43. By reducing CO₂ by half, seaweed can fight climate change.
44. To grow seaweed in the water, farmers use ropes or nets.
45. Scientists are sure that seaweed farms are safe for ocean animals.
【答案】41. F 42. T

Having lived in a village in South China’s Yunnan province for nearly twenty years, 62-year-old American Brian Linden now considers himself as one of the “cool new Dali people”.
Born and raised in Chicago, Linden first visited China in 1984. During his stay, he was deeply attracted (吸引) by Chinese culture and would love to be its communicator.
After working and traveling in over 100 countries, Linden gave up his job in the US, sold his house and moved to China with his family in 2004. He wanted to find a place and create a new lifestyle. After a tour around China, Linden and his wife finally chose Xizhou, a small town not far from Dali.
“I’m a fan of China’s traditional buildings. Xizhou is a beautiful town with hundreds of old buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties (朝代). Traditions here remain as alive as ever and the local people treat me like family,” said Linden.
With the help of the Dali government, Linden spent all his money repairing a traditional Bai-style house. Then he turned it into a hotel for foreign tourists. Now the house is known as Linden Center hotel. It provides international education projects for European and American schools. It also opens 50% of its space to the public, creating a place for more people to communicate with the villagers. It offers free English classes to villagers once a week.
When talking about his goal, Linden said he wants to turn Xizhou into a window for foreigners to learn about China.

Cai Chongda, a famous writer, has recently published (出版) a new children’s book called My First Friends in Life. The book is good for both children and adults.
The story follows a boy named Hei Gouda. He lives in a small town in southern Fujian. He makes friends with different animals and grows up with them. The book describes a childhood filled with small, valuable moments. It talks about love, separation, and growth in a simple but touching way. The writer also wants readers to think about the relationship between humans and nature. This book helps children understand the meaning of friendship. It also helps adults remember their own childhoods.
The book is special because of how it was created. It’s a father-daughter project (项目). Most pictures are drawn by Cai’s daughter. Cai believes that children’s literature is very important because it can shape children’s opinions on life and the world when they are young. He hopes this book can pass on valuable life experiences to young people.
Another writer, Qiu Huadong, said that the book reminded him of the animals he once kept. He recommended the book to more city children. In his eyes, it is an excellent guide for city children who seldom have the opportunity to get close to real animals.

Seaweed (海藻) is a plant that grows in the ocean. It creates underwater forests where many sea animals live. Crabs (蟹) and fish like to stay in its long leaves. Seaweed grows very fast and does not need soil (土壤) or freshwater.
There are many kinds of seaweed. Some are thin, and some are tall. Seaweed helps make O₂ and this is good for the air and water.
Recent studies show that seaweed farming could help reduce CO₂. Too much CO₂ can make the Earth warmer. Seaweed can take in CO₂ as it grows. When seaweed breaks, some pieces go deep into the ocean. The CO₂ goes with them and stays there. This may help fight climate change by slowing down global (全球的) warming.
Seaweed farms are easy to set up. Farmers use ropes or nets to grow seaweed in the water. These farms do not need land, and they can create food and other useful things for people.
Scientists are studying if big seaweed farms can truly help the climate. And they want to make sure these farms are safe for ocean animals. With good planning, they hope seaweed can help our planet.
根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)、误(F)。
41. As a plant grows in the ocean, seaweed needs plenty of freshwater.
42. Seaweed is good for the air and water because it makes O₂.
43. By reducing CO₂ by half, seaweed can fight climate change.

Now the house is known as Linden Center hotel. It provides international education projects for European and American schools. It also opens 50% of its space to the public, creating a place for more people to communicate with the villagers. It offers free English classes to villagers once a week.
When talking about his goal, Linden said he wants to turn Xizhou into a window for foreigners to learn about China.
