"In the past we waited for a day off for Children's Day. But this time, we just wish our classes could start as normal on June 1."For 13-year-old Wang Zhen from the Mianzhu Middle School, his holiday wish was to see his mom again.The boy has become quieter since losing his mother in the earthquake."She was always nagging(唠叨) and sometimes beat me. But I know she did it because she loved me."When Zhou Lin, his psychologist, told him "you can pretend I'm your mom and give me a hug," Wang threw himself into her arms and cried.To children outside the quake zone, this was maybe their first Children's Day when rather than receiving gifts they instead gave them.In Yushan county of Jiangxi province, 11-year-old Li Jing cut her waist-long hair that had taken her five years to grow and sold it for 5 yuan."My family isn't rich, but I wanted to do something for the other children," she said.Children around the world have also been eager to help the children of Sichuan.56.

He was a teacher in that school.57. Why did they four boys who were playing basketball say they wanted to go to school as usualon this Children's Day?A.

A great deal of help also arrived in quake zone from abroad.59. What can be the best title for this passage?A. An Unusual Children’s DayB. Celebrating Children’s DayC. Gifts For Children’s DayD. Exciting Children’s DayBWhen computer salesman Li Guang and his girlfriend Huang Minxia saw on TV the destruction caused by the unexpected earthquake, they quickly filled their car with bottled water and instant noodles and drove more than 160 miles to lend a hand."It's a small car, but we just wanted to help," said Li, from Chongqing, a city next to hardest-hit Sichuan province. Donations(捐赠) are flooding in, more money than charities(慈善) in China collected all of last year, and so are volunteers.In the week since the quake, donations have totaled $1.3 billion — 85 percent raised within China.Many, like Li, are taking advantage of growing private car ownership and a new, expanding highway system to join the line of government and army assistance toward the epicenter.Across the disaster region, thousands of cars decorated with large handwritten signs— "Hardship comes from one direction, help comes from everywhere" and "For the people, for the Beijing Olympics" — were coming from as far as the capital, Beijing, more than 900 miles away.Private cars crowded so thickly on roads that the police set up donation drop-off points outside cities and towns to clear the way for army and government assistance. People living in tents along the roads posted handwritten signs asking for urgently needed items — water, rice, vegetables. Cars paused to hand out a box or two and then drove on.Instead of waiting for government-organized charity drives, people quickly acted on their own. Bank account(银行帐户) numbers for making earthquake donations flashed on Web logs and mobile phones. Blood donation centers were overwhelmed(淹没) with offers and began asking citizens to register(登记) in advance."People are really united this time, and they're acting on their own without waiting to be asked. It sounds corny, but we're taught in schools and from our parents about helping others," said Ge Jian, the company's general manager.60.

More money was collected from overseas than within China for the earthquake.D. People across China were taking active part in the rescue work.63. Why did Blood donation centers advised people to register ahead of time?A. Because they were expecting more money rather than blood.B. Because they had collected enough blood for the disaster.C. Because they were ready to go the epicenter and they were much too busy.D. Because too many people were offering to donate blood.CFor years, investors(投资者) have been trying to make money on minerals and oil found in the Sahara. But some three decades ago, scientists discovered another natural resource running below the dry dusty earth—water.In the early 1980s, Libyan President(利比亚总统) Moammar Gadhafi decided to pump this unlikely desert resource to Libya. More than 20 years later, a pipe (管道) big enough to pass a truck runs below the desert, carrying water to Libyan coastal cities.When people in Tripoli, Benghazi or Sirte turn on their faucets(水龙头), their water comes from deep under the desert and hundreds of kilometers away. This water is saved from tens of thousands of years ago when the region had a lot more rain. It sank deep into the desert and is now being pulled out by this pipe project.But with the Earth's rising temperature, the desert is now mostly unlivable. Saharan communities live in about two percent of the desert, near oases(绿洲).Children in the oasis village of Timia, Niger(几内亚), at the southern edge of the Sahara desert fill their containers(容器) every morning. The mountain village gets enough water to grow fruit year round.Brothers Aruba and Alison say their grandfather's fruit farm was the first in their village. They sell oranges and mangoes to tourists for 20 cents each. They also sell dates, raisins, and grapefruits.Theirs is the only mechanical water well(机械水井) in the village. During the hottest months, the water level goes down, but they say they still manage to water the garden. Even during the country's droughts in the early 1970s and in 2005, the garden and family survived.The brothers had not heard about the Libyan water pipe project. They hope this does not mean their garden will get less water in the coming years.Libyan water scientists say the pipe network and the Saharan underground water can last for the next 50 years.64. What used some investors to get from the Sahara desert?A. FruitsB. Underground waterC. Oil and mineralsD. Farm fields.65. What does “unlivable” in the fourth paragraph mean in this passage?A. unlikelyB. not fit for livingC. incredibleD. extremely hot66. We can learn from this passage that “dates” is ________.A. a special dayB. a placeC. some kind of fruitsD. a local farmer’s name67. This passage mainly tells us that _________.A. It’s pretty easy to grow fruit trees in the Sahara desert.B. People are doing everything possible to find and use the water in the desert.C. Water is of great importance for the people living in the coastal areas in Libya.D. The Saharan underground water can last for the next 50 years.IV. 翻译练习1.有没有什么问题你们不懂的？2.星期六在会上讲话的那个学生是我们班长。
