  In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China.During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things.One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money.In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century.(1)________

  A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago.He made it from wood.(2)________ He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

  (3)________ We use a lot of paper every day.If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth.If there are no trees, there will be no paper.Every day, people throw away about 2,800tons of paper.It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper.This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.

  Since it takes more than 10years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now.If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.

  (4)________ We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes.We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets.We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕)and not paper ones.When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags.If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

  (5)________ If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees.But we should do it now, before it is too late.

A.Now paper still comes from trees.

B.Everyone can help to save paper.

C.However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.

D.He took the wood from trees and made it into paper.

E.So how can we save paper?

答案:
解析:

  1.C.根据上文的意思,二者之间显然是一种转折关系.故选C.

  2.D.上一句“He made it from wood.”和下文的“He then put these pieces of paper…”是解答本题的关键.

  3.A.选项D承接上文,另外下面的“…there will not be any trees left on the earth.”也对本题的解答起一定的暗示作用.

  4.E.第一张纸的两面都要使用,这显然是谈节约用纸的方法.故答案为E.

  5.B.由上面一段说的意思,再联系下面的几句话,即可得出答案.

  这篇阅读材料时间跨度较大,内容较为复杂.短文先从马可·波罗发现中国使用纸币谈起,然后说到蔡伦发明造纸术.第三自然段谈到现在中国存在着严重浪费纸张的现状,并对中国森林资源的日益匮乏深感忧虑.第四自然段则说到了一些节约用纸的具体做法.短文最后呼吁大家认真反思,从现在做起,保护有限的森林资源.

Meeting the English Family

  Rosa and her classmates were in a street in West London. The sky was dark. This was Rosa's big day, her first day in England.

  Rosa got out of a taxi. The driver carried a very heavy bag for her. They walked through the rain to the front door of a big Victorian house.

  A small girl opened the door. She was four years old. Her brother stood behind her. He was only two years old. One minute later, a young woman came to the door.

  “Welcome to Wembley!” she said and she offered Rosa her hand.  “These are my two children, Elisabeth and Isaac” “Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Frost! said Rosa with a strong Spanish accent.

  The two children ran back into the living room.

  “Don't worry about them! They're a little shy. And please call me Diana! Now let me show you your room and then we can have a nice cup of tea. Or would you like some coffee?”

  “I'd like to try a cup of English tea, made in England.”

  “This is your bedroom. There's a nice view (视野) of the football stadium (露天体育场) and here's a little desk where you can study. The bathroom and toilet are just opposite your door. Now I'll go and put the kettle on.”

  “Excuse me. What's a kettle?”

  “In England, we use a kettle to make hot water, we can then put the hot water in a teapot or use it to make coffee.”

  Rosa was happy with her new home, but she was a little puzzled (困惑的). Perhaps her mother Maruja was right. The British were not normal people. They did not kiss when they met and they lived in large Victorian palaces. Their favourite drink was tea and they used strange metal kettles to make the water hot. What was she going to say to Elisabeth and Isaac? How could she make friends with two shy English children? Perhaps the answer was in the big, black psychology (心理学) book.

(1) It was Rosa' s big day. She and her classmates were in

[  ]

A. the west part of London
B. the middle of Spain
C. a big Victorian house
D. the living-room

(2) Rosa's hostess (女主人) was called

[  ]

A. Elisabeth Frost
B. Isaac Frost
C. Diana Frost
D. Maruja Frost

(3) What could Rosa see through the window when she was in her bedroom?

[  ]

A. A garden.
B. A football stadium.
C. A desk.
D. A bathroom.

(4) In this passage the underlined (下划线的) word “it” means

[  ]

A. a cup
B. hot water
C. a teapot
D. milk

(5) After reading the passage, we know that

[  ]

A. Rosa had some trouble in getting on well with the hostess

B. the two children didn't like Rosa

C. Mr. Frost offered Rosa much help

D. Rosa was happy with the new family, but she couldn't understand some of their customs(习俗)

     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software.
But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
