Dear Lillie,
How are you? I am happy to be back home, but my hometown is a little different now. I am really upset about one change. We are going to have a big shopping mall in my beautiful neighbourhood! I can't believe it!
My neighbourhood is near a school. It is very quiet and convenient here. There are many family-owned stores on the main street—a flower shop, two clothing stores, a bakery and a vegetable shop. I hope we don't lose these small stores because of the shopping mall. I don't want my neighbourhood to change any more.
I hope you are OK. Can you visit me soon?
Love,
Yiming
Dear Yiming,
I'm fine. I miss you too.
There are a lot of changes in my town, too. There are two busy streets near my house, Main Street and Queens Road. When I was young, there wasn't much noise here, but today there are more people and cars.
There is another big change. There are two restaurants near my house! Two! Three years ago there was only one small café. I ate breakfast there every morning. But it's gone! There is a fast food shop there now.
Luckily, one thing did not change. The Air Theatre is still on the corner of Main Street and Queens Road. It is one of my favourite places.
I hope to visit you soon.
Yours,
Lillie

请阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。
People in our village lived by planting fruit trees when I was very young. 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. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because we were short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learnt about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals(水渠) and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly after, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project(水利工程) was completed, a policy was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns, where we are from.
( )44. How did people make money in the village when the writer was young?
A. By planting vegetables. B. By feeding animals. C. By planting fruit trees.
( )45. The difficulty of the villagers was that .
A. they didn't have money to buy water
B. there wasn't enough water in the orchard
C. they didn't have machines to plant fruit
( )46. The underlined phrase “devoted themselves to” is closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. looked forward to B. given money to C. put much effort into

①The writer moved to the city for his junior high school.
②The villagers had to carry water from the river to water the trees.
③With the people's effort, the countryside changed a lot in many ways.
④In order to solve the problem, people started to build the water conservation project.

Several hundred years ago, Shanghai was a small fishing village. People lived on fishing and farming, and most families lived in one-room houses.
49 Businessmen from other countries arrived, and people saw new buildings, like banks and hotels. Subways and buses appeared, making travel within the city easier. However, not everyone benefited. Many poor families still lived in crowded areas with no running water or electricity.
After 1949, Shanghai changed rapidly. The government built wide roads and bridges, connecting different parts of the city. People saw lots of factories here. 50 In the 1990s, skyscrapers(摩天大楼)started to fill the skyline. The Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower, finished in 1994, became a symbol of the city's growth.
Today, Shanghai is a global city. High-speed trains carry passengers to other cities in hours, while it used to take days by train. 51 Old neighbourhoods, however, still remain. In places like Xintiandi, traditional stone houses stand next to modern shops, showing the connection between the past and the present.
What makes these changes possible? 52 Workers built tunnels under rivers to connect districts. Scientists developed new ways to protect ancient buildings while building new ones. Educators taught people new skills to adapt to the changing world.
Cities teach us that changes are natural. 53 As the saying goes, “You can't step into the same river twice, but you can learn the river's story.”
A. Hard work and new technology.
B. In the 1920s, things began to change.
C. And many people got jobs in the factories.
D. They tell us to respect the past while looking forward to the future.
E. People pay with smartphones, and online shopping is part of daily life.
F. Many of these old buildings are now popular places for tourists to visit.

Changes Around Us
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us. First, let's talk about travel. In the past, people could only travel to nearby places. But now, we can not only go abroad easily but also enjoy travelling online to visit faraway tourist attractions from home.
Then, traffic has become more convenient. Before, people mainly took buses or green trains for long trips. Now, we can drive cars, take high-speed trains or take the plane, which save lots of time.
Finally, our ways to study are different. In the past, we just read textbooks alone. But now, we do more reading to learn widely and do more group work to share ideas.
These changes make our life better. I believe we'll have a more wonderful future with more progress!
