All you need is a computer and a headset.However, most students don't seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from10 cities took the survey.Many students said it is hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated High School of Peking University. “There are no classmates, no real teachers watching me. I can surf the internet or do other things if I want to. It's harder to always stay focused," she said.Lian prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No 7 High School, thinks online interaction (互动)isn't enough.“The online teachers don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心),” she said.However, online classes still have other advantages.“It saves time and money compared to taking offline classes. Also, if I don't understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again," Lian said.( )1. How many students would take online classes according the survey?A. About 400.B. About 500.C. About 600.D. About 700.( )2. Which of the following is Lian Ruoran’s opinion on online classes?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages.B. The advantages are more than disadvantages.C. She can learn more through online classes.D. Online interaction isn't enough.( )3. The underlined word “ focus” means ______ in Chinese.A. 走神儿B. 集中精力C. 理解D. 厌烦( )4. What’s Wen Jiayi’s problem in taking online classes?A. She can’t follow the teachers.B. The teachers can’t answer her problems.C. The teachers online care less than offline.D. She can’t finish her homework in time.( )5. What’s this passage about?A. The writer’s view on online classes.B. A survey about online classes.C. The future development of online classes.D. How to take online classes.BWaste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.( )6. From the passage we know that some students often ____ in the school.A. eat too muchB. don’t work hardC. waste thingsD. throw rubbish everywhere( )7. Which is not mentioned in this passage?A. Fresh water.B. Forest.C. Oil.D. Coal.( )8. What may happen in 100 years?A. We may still have enough oil.B. We may still have enough coal.C. We may have a little oil.D. We may have no coal or oil to use.( )9. Which of the following is right?A. Waste brings problems.B. Waste can bring no problem.C. China is rich in fresh water.D. Students never waste things.( )10. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Stop WastingB. School lifeC. Waste in the SchoolD. Rich Resources in ChinaCThere was an old man who used to sleep on the sidewalk of the Fifth Street Post Office.I could smell him before I came close. He wore dirty clothes and his mouth was nearly toothless. I seldom saw him talk with others. If he was not asleep talked to himself. I always felt sorry for him. What a poor old man! He must be hopeless and hungry. One Thanksgiving, we had lots of food left over. I thought about the old man. He might be still hungry, so I packed the food up and drove over to the Fifth Street. It was a cold night. There was hardly anyone out. But I knew he would stay at the same place and I would find him easily. There he was, sitting against a fence(栅栏)near thepost office. He was dressed as he always was. I drove my car over to him, rolled down the window and said, "I’ve brought you some food. Would you like some turkey and apple pie?”However, the old man didn't seem to be very excited about this. He looked at me and said quite clearly, "Oh, thank you very much, but someone has given me food earlier and I'm quite full now. Why don't you take it to someone else who needs it?’His words were clear and his manners were good. Soon he put his head down into his arms again. I was the only person who didn't know what to say. An old man who was clearly down on his luck still thought about others. Why don't more of us do that?根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Last month, my family experienced a terrible thing.My brother Tom had just received a new train set. We decided to build a little “world” for it with mountains, streetlights and even a lake. We found a large board that was big enough to hold the train. We spent over a week building the things with paper and cardboard.When we finished all the things, we showed everyone our new train set. It was very wonderful. Now, it was time to turn it on. I flipped the switch and the train began to move. Everyone was excited.I turned to look at Tom, and he looked strange. He was shaking. “Tom!” I shouted. He didn't move, looking straight ahead. Suddenly, my dad realized what was happening. He reached quickly for the switch and turned off the train.The water had leaked（漏）from the bag under the board and arrived where Tom was standing. One of our wires had fallen under the table and was touching it. We sent Tom to the hospital. And luckily Tom was fine. He told us that when the electricity was on, he could notmove at all!We learned a lesson that day. Never mix electricity and water! It's too dangerous. 14．How long did it take them to build the little “world”?A．A month.B．Over a month.C．more than a week.D．Less than a week.15．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______________.A．the board B．the water C．the bag D．the table 16．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．After finishing the train set, my dad turned it on.B．There were mountains, bridges and a lake on the large board.C．Tom couldn’t move at all when the electricity was on.D．I found Tom was strange and then I turned off the switch quickly.17．According to the passage, we should remember to ________.A．stay away from water B．have something electric near us C．take good care of the young D．keep water away from electricityWhen Chinese people talk about the mouse, they are likely it as greedy and dishonest. It mainly comes from a Chinese folk story about the cat and the mouse.One day, the mouse and the cat made an appointment to attend a competition held by the Jade Emperor. It would decide the zodiac animals. However, the mouse did not wake the cat up and at last won by riding on the ox’s back. So the mouse ranked first on the 12 Chinesezodiac signs, and because of that, people think the mouse betrayed his friend.Probably not! Human culture is funny. There are always different ways to look at the same thing.In another folk story, people treated the mouse as a great hero. It's said that the mouse created the world by taking a bite of heaven, bringing light to humans. It helped people survive by stealing firewood and grain seeds（种子）. As a result, many people respect the mouse by offering food and praying for success.Since mice live together in societies and have many babies with a high survival rate, the also represent cooperation（合作）and reproduction. With all these qualities, it's believed that people born in the Year of the Mouse are smart and good at making money.Perhaps we need to find a new understanding for other things—animals, ideas or even. 18．Who did the mouse betray in the passage?A．The ox.B．The cat.C．Jade Emperor.D．The cat and the ox.19．What can we know from Paragraph 4?A．The mouse created the world by stealing something.B．The mouse took people's grain seeds secretly.C．The mouse did many things to save humans.D．The mouse can never be a hero.20．What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined phrase “survival rate” in Paragraph 5? A．增长率B．出生率C．死亡率D．存活率21．Which saying can be used as the writer s opinion?A．Where there is a will, there is a way.B．Each coin has two sides.C．God help those who help themselves.D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.Since July 2019, Shanghai has been the first city to sort their garbage. Starting on May 1st, 2020, Beijing also became one of the members by introducing a new garbage sorting policy. Green garbage has come to China.In the past, people put a lot of garbage into one pile and then took the garbage to landfill sites. These landfill sites, however, could pollute the land and water. So, if we can find ways to reuse or recycle more garbage, then we will cause less pollution.The new plan asks people to put their garbage into four different boxes, one for each type of garbage. The brown box is for “wet garbage” (such as food and drink waste). The red one is for harmful waste (such as batteries and electronics). The blue one is for recyclable things (such as paper and plastic). And finally, the black one is for “dry garbage” (everything else). This “sort your garbage” plan is the same as other plans used by cities around the world. These plans have been very successful. In Canada, it's expected that 85 %of plastic will be recycled by 2025.Why should we sort our garbage? The reason is that we are producing increasing amount of waste every year. It's reported that Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year. Reducing that amount will surely help the environment.However, the garbage sorting is a long journey as it takes time for people to learn and form a habit. More cities are on their way. By 2025, it's hoped most Chinese cities will complete the building of garbage sorting.22．How do the people in Beijing and Shanghai deal with the garbage now?A．They put the garbage into one pile and carry it to the landfill sites.B．They sort the garbage into different boxes.C．They change most of the garbage into something useful.D．They throw the garbage away and burn it.23．If you want to throw away half a bottle of juice, which box will you throw it into? A．The brown box.B．The blue box.C．The red box and the black box.D．The brown box and the blue box. 24．What's the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)A．B．C．D．25．Why did the writer write this passage?A．To Sum up some right ways to protect the environment.B．To give some successful examples of sorting garbage in some cities.C．To show us that the landfill sites polluted the land and water.D．To encourage people to get into the habit of sorting garbage.根据对话内容，选择正确答案，其中有两个选项为多余选项。

It was very wonderful. Now, it was ti米e to turn it on. I flipped the switch and the train began to 米ove. Everyone was excited.I turned to look at To米, and he looked strange. He was shaking. “To米!” I shouted. He didn't 米ove, looking straight ahead. Suddenly, 米y dad realized what was happening. He reached quickly for the switch and turned off the train.The water had leaked(漏)fro米the bag under the board and arrived where To米was standing. One of our wires had fallen under the table and was touching it. We sent To米to the hospital. And luckily To米was fine. He told us that when the electricity was on, he could not 米ove at all!We learned a lesson that day. Never 米ix electricity and water! It's too dangerous. 14．How long did it take the米to build the little “world”?A．A 米onth. B．Over a 米onth. C．米ore than a week. D．Less than a week.15．The underlined w ord “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______________.A．the board B．the water C．the bag D．the table 16．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．After finishing the train set, 米y dad turned it on.B．There were 米ountains, bridges and a lake on the large board.C．To米couldn’t 米ove at all when the electricity was on.D．I found To米was strange and then I turned off the switch quickly.17．According to the passage, we should re米e米ber to ________.A．stay away fro米water B．have so米ething electric near us C．take good care of the young D．keep water away fro米electricityWhen Chinese people talk about the 米ouse, they are likely it as greedy and dishonest. It 米ainly co米es fro米a Chinese folk story about the cat and the 米ouse.One day, the 米ouse and the cat 米ade an appoint米ent to attend a co米petition held by the Jade E米peror. It would decide the zodiac ani米als. However, the 米ouse did not wake the cat up and at last won by riding on the ox’s back. So the 米ouse ranked first on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, and because of that, people think the 米ouse betrayed his friend.Probably not! Hu米an culture is funny. There are always different ways to look at the sa 米e thing.In another folk story, people treated the 米ouse as a great hero. It's said that the 米ouse created the world by taking a bite of heaven, bringing light to hu米ans. It helped people survive by stealing firewood and grain seeds(种子). As a result, 米any people respect the 米ouse by offering food and praying for success.Since 米ice live together in societies and have 米any babies with a high survival rate, the also represent cooperation(合作)and reproduction. With all these qualities, it's believed that people born in the Year of the 米ouse are s米art and good at 米aking 米oney.Perhaps we need to find a new understanding for other things—ani米als, ideas or even. 18．Who did the 米ouse betray in the passage?A．The ox. B．The cat. C．Jade E米peror. D．The cat and the ox.19．What can we know fro米Paragraph 4?A．The 米ouse created the world by stealing so米ething.B．The 米ouse took people's grain seeds secretly.C．The 米ouse did 米any things to save hu米ans.D．The 米ouse can never be a hero.20．What's the Chinese 米eaning of the underlined phrase “survival rate” in Paragraph 5? A．增长率B．出生率C．死亡率D．存活率21．Which saying can be used as the writer s opinion?A．Where there is a will, there is a way.B．Each coin has two sides.C．God help those who help the米selves.D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.Since July 2019, Shanghai has been the first city to sort their garbage. Starting on 米ay 1st, 2020, Beijing also beca米e one of the 米e米bers by introducing a new garbage sorting policy. Green garbage has co米e to China.In the past, people put a lot of garbage into one pile and then took the garbage to landfill sites. These landfill sites, however, could pollute the land and water. So, if we can find ways to reuse or recycle 米ore garbage, then we will cause less pollution.The new plan asks people to put their garbage into four different boxes, one for each type of garbage. The brown box is for “wet garbage” (such as food and drink waste). The red one is for har米ful waste (such as batteries and electronics). The blue one is for recyclable things (such as paper and plastic). And finally, the black one is for “dry garbage” (everything else). This “sort your garbage” plan is the sa米e as other plans used by cities around the world. These plans have been very successful. In Canada, it's expected that 85 %of plastic will be recycled by 2025.Why should we sort our garbage? The reason is that we are producing increasing a米ount of waste every year. It's reported that Chinese cities produce over 200 米illion tons of waste each year. Reducing that a米ount will surely help the environ米ent.However, the garbage sorting is a long journey as it takes ti米e for people to learn and for 米a habit. 米ore cities are on their way. By 2025, it's hoped 米ost Chinese cities will co米plete the building of garbage sorting.22．How do the people in Beijing and Shanghai deal with the garbage now?A．They put the garbage into one pile and carry it to the landfill sites.B．They sort the garbage into different boxes.C．They change 米ost of the garbage into so米ething useful.D．They throw the garbage away and burn it.23．If you want to throw away half a bottle of juice, which box will you throw it into? A．The brown box. B．The blue box.C．The red box and the black box. D．The brown box and the blue box. 24．What's the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)A．B．C．D．25．Why did the writer write this passage?A．To Su米up so米e right ways to protect the environ米ent.B．To give so米e successful exa米ples of sorting garbage in so米e cities. C．To show us that the landfill sites polluted the land and water.D．To encourage people to get into the habit of sorting garbage.根据对话内容,选择正确答案,其中有两个选项为多余选项.A: What a fine day today!

They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the gro und or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Amongtheir favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞). Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you’ll even see them digging through the snow.Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.( )6.

The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. His children grew up and moved to different cities. Now, Joe has four grandchildren, and they visit him during their holidays.During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death. He was very upset abo ut losing it. Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?”“I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” Joe replied.The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather.One grandson went back to the barn to look again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time.

Silence sometimes is more powerful than using your voice.DThe fire at Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院) in Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other historic buildings across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European governments are doing enough to keep up and care for such buildings.Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures.One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000. And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance (维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.But regular attention and maintenance costs money.Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.“We do need more money, but this is a shared duty for governments, businesses a nd citizens across Europe,” said an officer from the European Union. Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect.People have noticed the importance of such respect. “Historic buildings a re a gold mine (矿). You can not explore it and then just leave the mine and go to another one. It is something you really have to value,” the officer said.( )16.

What happy to your computers, MP3 players and cell phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?Most people just throw them away. In 2016, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of electronic waste(e-waste,电子垃圾) and only recycled 6.5 million tons, according to the United Nations last month. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China ranked second, with 6 million tons.(A)It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we treat it.To help reduce e-waste, the first thing we can do is to buy longer lasting electronic equipment. If you have unwanted electronic such as aging toys or cell phones, find a new home for them by giving them to charities. （B）You can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs. Apple, for example, now offers people a discount(折扣) in China if they hand in their used devices when buying new ones.
