Political activists from South Korea gathered signatures of people on Saturday to prevent the push to deploy(部署) a U.S. missile shield - Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD萨德) in their country.

At the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul (首尔), where the people ever lit candles to force former President Park Geun-hye out of office, the campaign was carried out to urge lawmakers to stop the hurried push for THAAD deployment.

On March 6, some equipment of the THAAD was flown to a U.S. military(军事的) base south of Seoul. One THAAD battery consists of complicated fire and control units and some other equipment. Local broadcasting station KBS reported that the AN/TPY-2 radar(雷达)was supposed to be delivered to South Korea on March 16, but it was not confirmed as the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) refused to tell the arrival of other THAAD equipment.

The hurry deployment "is illegal and against the law," said a person who refused to tell his name. She said their advice would be presented next week to the leaders of major political parties. The campaign started online a week ago, and it had already collected around 5,000 signatures. They are targeting 10,000 signatures to be gathered. The organizing groups would call on the government to stop all deployment procedures. The Seoul-Washington agreement to put one THAAD battery was announced in July last year without any parliamentary（国会的）approval and public consensus.

"Lawmakers must stop telling. They must act," said the activist. They claimed the THAAD plan lacked the people's agreement and is against people's rights to peaceful, healthy life and environmental protection, which are guaranteed by the law. The Gwanghwamun square was packed with people holding cards that read "Opposition to THAAD." Residents made their way to the capital city and chanted the famous slogan "THAAD Out, Peace In." Some put a flag with anti-THAAD slogan over their shoulders, while children held a blue, rubber balloon that was stamped with anti-THAAD slogan.

In addition to opposition at home, China and Russia have strongly opposed THAAD in South Korea as it can spy on their countries, thus damaging security of the two countries.

Under the Seoul-Washington agreement, THAAD in South Korea will be operated by the USFK. Seoul has claimed the X-band radar is only aimed at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) threats, but South Korea's military has no right to be engaged in the operation.

1.On Saturday, people from South Korean gathered signatures at the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul to .

A. force former President Park Geun-hye out of office

B. welcome the arrival of other THAAD equipment

C. prevent the deployment of THAAD in South Korea

D. The campaign was started online and 10,000 signatures had been gathered.

3.What does the underlined word “consensus”(Line 6, Para4 ) mean?

A. opposition B. awareness

C. agreement D. security

It’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see.

——Henry David Thoreau

Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.

Why slow?

When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.

How does it work?

One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That^ it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.

By the numbers

Over 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.

700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.

Participants love Slow Art Day

Feedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s a sample:

“I loved taking the time to just ‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. It’s a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun，interesting, informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.”

Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday, April 8, in museums and galleries worldwide. Join us and experience art differently.

Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.

Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.

Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

1.What is the major function of paragraph 1?

A. To arouse the reader’s concern.

B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.

C. To summarize the whole passage.

D. To state how climate changes.

2.What is the author’s purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?

A. To show major changes are taking place on the planet.

B. To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.

C. To show the damage earthquakes caused.

D. To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.

3.Which of the following is NOT true of climate changes’ effects ?

A. Animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

B. It could lead to the spread of diseases.

C. Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.

D. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

4.What can be inferred from the Passage?

A. Animals and plants won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.

B. There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.

C. The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.

D. The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.

Dear Lucy,

I was delighting to receive your letter. Thank you for the English dictionary you bought it for me. I received it this morning. There is no doubt that it is of great helpful to me. I’m deeply grateful for your advice what I should pay more attention to practice my spoken English. I’ve made up my mind to speak English both in and out of class. Next month I’ll take trip to Australia, which is organizing by my school. I hope I can practise my spoken English there as many as possible. By the way, I am sending you a set of stamp with this letter, and I’ll send you more if I got any. I do hope you will have a good holiday.

I was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s. We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow（平房）in Michigan. Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us. The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in (汽车影院）movies!

We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with homemade popcorn. On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy. We were so exited as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the cartoon began.

We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen. As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race back to the car to get our candy.

There were always two cartoons playing before the movie, like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry, But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream. That came on right before the movie. It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.

We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us. Mom help?ed us drug ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.

I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town. It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.

1.What could the author eat when he watched the cartoons and movies?

A. Hot dogs. B. Ice cream.

C. Hamburgers. D. Popcorn and candy.

2.What does the underlined phrase “our treasures” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Mom and dad. B. The penny candy,

C. Favorite cartoons. D. Homemade popcorn.

3.What was the last show before I be movie?

A. Felix the Cat. B. Tom and Jerry.

C. The dancing hot dogs. D. The ticking clock advertisement.

4.What do we know about the author?

A. He had a boring childhood

B. He had four younger brothers.

C. He missed the driver in very much.

D. He didn’t like watching the movies at all.
