【題目】 Wherever travellers go, cameras are sure to follow. It's great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.

There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace, Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower, and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like;they also know what Europe's great landmarks(地標)look like.

But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist's eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead, he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests(牧師)bending over their Bibles. He captured(抓住)the colour and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more.

Any amateur(外行)can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity(靈敏度). When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.

1People who watch Aunt Sarah's slides would be ________.

A.frightenedB.excited

C.boredD.sad

2David's pictures were about ________.

A.landmarksB.architectures

C.peopleD.history

3A traveller can become an artist if he ________.

A.takes a camera with him

B.knows the history of a place

C.is interested in not only the landmarks but also the people of a place

D.learns how to draw and paint pictures of a place

1推理判斷。根據(jù)文中There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace, Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower, and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks likethey also know what Europe's great landmarks(地標)look like.可知,Aunt Sarah在白金漢宮前微笑,在埃菲爾鐵塔下微笑,在威尼斯運河里微笑。每個人都知道Aunt Sarah長什么樣;他們也知道歐洲偉大的地標(標)長什么樣。這些東西大家都很熟悉,所以推知看他的幻燈片會很無聊,故選C

2細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中Instead, he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests(牧師)bending over their Bibles.可知,取而代之的是,他拍下了在田里干活的農(nóng)民、修理漁網(wǎng)的漁民和彎腰看圣經(jīng)的留胡子牧師的照片?芍牡氖侨宋铮蔬xC。

【題目】 Pollution means adding dirty or harmful things to land, air, water and so on. As a result, they are no longer pleasant or safe to use. Pollution is bad for animals and plants, and it even makes people's health in danger. In our daily life, we can see different kinds of pollution in many places. There are three main forms of pollution: land pollution, air pollution and water pollution.

Land pollution is caused by solid waste, such as cans, bottles and some plastic things which aren't broken down quickly. It makes the environment look very bad. However, air pollution is more serious than land pollution. It is much worse in cities and towns because of the fumes(廢氣)from traffic and the waste from human activities. When people drive their cars, fumes which are most made up of CO2, NO2 and SO2 are given off. After the gases get into the air, they may mix with clouds. Then they will become some harmful chemicals falling on the ground with rain. It is one of the reasons for soil erosion(土壤侵蝕)which is one example of water pollution.

Various kinds of pollution will cause many health problems. People have realized they must change this serious situation. There are many ways to control pollution. To develop alternative energy(替代能源)is very popular in many countries. China, for example, has made up its mind to be a leader in this field. It is trying hard to make full use of energy from the sun and wind. It has paid plenty of money to make electric cars and trains instead of traditional traffic. We should also take action to make our environment cleaner every day. Take cloth bags while going shopping and drive cars less. We have only one earth. We must take small steps now to help protect our environment for the future wherever we are.

1The underlined word “solid” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A.氣體B.液體

C.固體D.土壤

2When people live in a polluted area, ________.

A.they will control the use of alternative energy

B.their health will be in danger

C.they will get stronger and stronger

D.they will be pleasant and safe

3The main idea of this passage should be ________.

A.to introduce the kinds of pollution and the problems it causes

B.to introduce the kinds of pollution and the ways to control it

C.to introduce the harmful chemicals and soil erosion

D.to introduce the alternative energy and the way to use it

【題目】 We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class, but she s1 gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do while you are sitting.” Indeed, we can see many top students spend f 2 hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.

Studying is a matter of personal preference(偏愛), so choose the w 3 that you are most comfortable with. Some people like working late at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work e4 in the morning. Still others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way you use, try to do your best.

Studying is your business and business comes before entertainment(娛樂). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten. Studying is the only thing in your mind. N 5 can pull you away from what you are studying.

Studying is like e 6 . You chew(咀嚼) it one bite at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you have planned to do, you may l 7 confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you arrange your time.

Jenny told me that most of us would be as good as her if we tried our best. Maybe she is right, so why not have a try?
