    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    C

    It was at least tow months before Christmas, when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old, and it needed repairing as well.

    As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, so we thought, for she didn’t mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful storybooks, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then much to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.

    Now we didn’t know what to do. It was just toot late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children’s presents, parents’ presents, a brother’s present and friends’ presents till midnight.So there was no time to take to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their children unhappy, we felt guilty and sad.

    Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of clay(泥土) and write a note(便条) that she could trade in(交换) the model bike for a real one?” So he spent the next five hours carefully working with the clay to make a small bike.

    On Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly.

    She looked at me and Ron and said, ”So does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling, I said, “Yes.”

    Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on the Earth.

    1.Rose’s wish was to____ on Christmas Day.

    A．get a new bike                         B．make a clay bike

    C．receive a doll house                     D．repair her old Barbi bike

    A．spend five hours finishing making a small bike with clay

    B．make a small bike red and white

    A beautiful and very successful actress was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the center of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colour.
    It was very difficult to get tickets for her show in the evening, because everyone wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of month, when she got the painter’s bill.

    A study finds that not enough morning light causes teenagers not to get enough sleep at night. “As teenagers spend more time indoors, they miss necessary morning light. Day light is needed to keep the balance of the body’s 24-hour biological system (生物系统), which regulates (调节) body temperature and sleep styles,” reports Dr. Mariana Figueiro. “These teenagers who receive little morning light are going to bed later, getting less sleep and doing badly in tests. They are more likely to fail in their exams.”
    In the study, Dr. Figueiro asked 11 students in Grade 8 to wear special glasses to prevent blue morning light from reaching their eyes. At the end of the 5-day study she found that they fell asleep 30 minutes later than usual.
    Throughout her research, Dr. Figueiro has been very worried about teenagers going to bed too late. The problem is that today’s schools require teenagers to be in school very early in the morning. These students are likely to miss the morning light because they often go to school before the sun is up or as it’s just rising.
    Furthermore (此外), the schools are not likely to provide enough electric light to keep the balance of this biological system. Our biological system is much more sensitive (敏感的) to blue light. Therefore, having lots of light in the classroom does not make sure that there is enough light to keep our biological system balanced.

    1. 1.

      Which of the following is the result of the study?

      1. A.
        Blue light in the morning harms the biological system.
      2. B.
        Not enough morning light keeps teenagers sleep less.
      3. C.
        Not getting more light in the morning make teenagers happy.
      4. D.
        Not enough sleep makes teenagers fail in tests.
    2. 2.

      We know from the passage that morning light __________.

      1. A.
        has the same effects as afternoon light
      2. B.
        may change studying habits of teenagers
      3. C.
        is important to children’s biological system
      4. D.
        has no effect on students’ tests
    3. 3.

      What’s the problem of the students according to the study?

      1. A.
        There are not enough electric lights in the classroom.
      2. B.
        Being in school early affects their study habits.
      3. C.
        They have to go to bed very early to have enough sleep.
      4. D.
        They go to school too early to get enough morning light.

    It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
    1. Reduce
    If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
    2. Reuse
    You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
    3.  Recycle
    Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted (融化) and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
    4.  Recover
    When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples. You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
    5.  Repair
    If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society（社会）. But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
    【小题1】_______ can be recycled.
    A．Only hard thingsB．Many thingsC．Few soft thingsD．All things
    【小题2】The “recover” rule mainly requires us _______.
    A．to throw waste things away
    B．to cover waste things with earth
    C．to get back the useful parts
    D．to throw the whole things away
    【小题3】We can infer（推断） that the writer of this passage may live in _______.
    A．ChinaB．JapanC．AustraliaD．America
    【小题4】Which of the following is true?
    A．We will have no resources（资源） of nature unless we can do with the waste.
    B．Recycling is the best way to save resources.
    C．If we waste less, we can save more resources of nature.
    D．More things are wasted in developed countries than in developing ones.

    There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.
    In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.
    Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity(电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
    We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.
    Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?
    【小题1】When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?
    A．When they are poor.
    B．When they run out of oil.
    C．When they need more exercise.
    D．When there aren’t any big trees in the world.
    【小题2】What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?
    A．Water.B．Coal.
    C．Wood and plants.D．Tides.
    【小题3】How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?
    A．2.B．5.C．4.D．3.
    【小题4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．There is more petroleum than we can use now.
    B．Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.
    C．We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.
    D．Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.
    【小题5】The passage is mainly about __________.
    A．how to run our carsB．what to do when oil runs out
    C．different types of gasD．the ways to make electricity
