题目内容

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. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. 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 2,800 tons of paper in our city. 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 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not give enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially then we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchief and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.

Healthy Food Paris
Spinach + Oranges

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
小题1:It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.Fewer and fewer people will buy books.
B.A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
C.Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.
D.More people like TV programs about famous men.
小题2:What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however.” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?
A.People only need reading, though.
B.Reading is still necessary today.
C.Reading is more fun than television.
D.Watching television doesn’t help reading.
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
A.TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge.
B.Cinemas are the best choice in getting information.
C.Reading is cheap way of learning and having fun.
D.Newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself.
Not all memories (记忆)are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and mental scars. Often they appear again in dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill(药丸), which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce(减少), or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of sad memories.
In November, some scientists tested a drug(药) on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals(化学品) that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the mental effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused plenty of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can destroy(破坏) people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a dream. They usually come with very sad feeling.” said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve(减轻) a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to erase those memories,” said Rebecca Dresser.
小题1:The passage is mainly about __________.
A.a new medical invention
B.a new research on memories
C.a way of erasing sad memories
D.an argument about the research on the pill
小题2:The drug tested on people can __________.
A.cause the brain to fix memories
B.stop people remembering their experiences
C.prevent body producing certain chemicals
D.erase the emotional effects of memories
小题3:The word “scars” in Paragraph One is close in meaning to _________.
A.good stories B.sad feelings
C.experiencesD.memories
小题4:Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?
A.Some memories can destroy people’s lives.
B.People want to get away from bad memories.
C.Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D.The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.

Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.
小题1:What things don’t most plants need to grow well according to the passage?
A.Warmth.              B.Food.                C.Sandy beach
小题2:What does the underlined word “cracks” mean in the passage?
A.表面             B.缝隙                 C.夹层
小题3:From the passage, we know that it is        for plants to grow in dry places.
A.difficult                B.impossible           C.important
小题4:The reason why most plants can’t grow on the sandy beach is that       .
A.there isn’t enough sunlight
B.there is too much water
C.it has little food for plants
小题5:The passage can most probably be found in a        book.
A.science              B.history              C.travel
