However, holidays aren’t always a great experience. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday.1._______Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they've forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airport too late, or even go to the wrong airport.2._______How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning a little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends.3._______Try to reduce the pollution you cause. Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times more carbon dioxide than traveling by train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid flying, but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis.4._______You can help a local community a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international company.5._______You don't want to forget your holiday. Make a scrapbook-a book of memories-about your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had! And don't forget the new friends you made on holiday.

Take steps towards your goals and dreams and greet every challenge. You will find you create more luck in everyday life.◎ 4 _____________Sometimes people would be prepared to help us out.

Two years ago, our 14﹣year﹣old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday． At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise． "It's better than watching TV or playing computer games in my free time, " Ben argued, "and it'll keep me out of trouble． In the end, we gave in． "All right, "we said, " but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play．"That was just the beginning． Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport 运输）, the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other instruments． And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing．At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practicing, my husband and I go out for a long walk． And I must agree that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men． I cannot judge （评判） their musical skill﹣after all I didn't expect my parents' generation （一代人） to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager﹣but they do play at the same time each week in local clubs for young people．Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn't happened yet． I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are． But one thing is certain﹣ Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored．（1）What is the writer trying to do in this text？________A Complain （抱怨） about her son's friends．B Give advice toteenagers． C Compare herself with her parents． D Describe her son's hobby．．（2）Why does the band always practice at Ben's house？________A It is difficult for Ben to move his drums．B The neighbors don't mind the noise．C Ben's parents enjoy listening to them．D They can leave their instruments there．．（3）What does the writer say about the band members？________A They are talented in their school work．B They play their instrumentswell． C Their taste in music is different from hers． D They are not polite to herfamily．．（4）What might the writer say to her son？________A Your teacher has just phoned． He wants to know why you weren't at schooltoday． B When are you playing at the club next？ Dad and I would love to come along again． C If you don't know what to do with yourself， there's a good program on TV in a few minutes． D Are you sure you've finished your homework？ It's more important than band practice．．3. Just like us, animals talk to each other all the time． However, instead of words, they use sounds and movements． Social animals live together so there's a lot to say! What's more, it's not just elephants, monkeys and other animals we consider to be smart that are expert communicators, insect（昆虫）like ants and bees can communicate very well, too． The greater spot﹣nosed monkey is really good at communication． If it notices a lion, it calls "pyow" to warn other monkeys to climb higher into trees． If it sees an eagle（鹰）, it calls "hack" as a warning to hide closer to the ground． Can you guess what"pyow, pyow, pyow, hack, hack, hack" means?

Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem. One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly as well. An example was a man in England about 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings* from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. Instead he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real try took place in France in 1783. The two Montgolfier brothers knew that hot air rises. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and fly. They were right. They made a very large "hot air balloon" of cloth and paper. They filled it with hot air and the balloon rose two hundred metres into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometres away. In September of that year, both the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we do know that the trip lasted for 8 minutes and then the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted for twenty-five minutes and they traveled about 8 kilometers.（1）Leonardo da Vinci____________.A. made designs of flying machinesB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of the birdsD. said that man would fly in the sky one day （2）Eight hundred years ago an Englishman____________.A. made a kind of flying machine himselfB. wanted to build a kind of hot air balloonC. tried to fly from a tall building on a large birdD. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers（3）The two Montgolfier brothers tried ____________at flying.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Two Montgolfier BrothersB. The First Flying Hot Air BalloonC. The History of Man's Try at FlyingD. Man's First Successful Try at Flying5．阅读理解Zhao Min, China I have great interest in stamps.

AWe know music is very important in our daily life. Do you notice music playing at any of those places when you go somewhere? Today most stores, stations, restaurants and other places play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.Scientists believe that music influences the way people behave(行为). They think that the sound of western classical music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money.

This makes people eat faster and leave quickly. Restaurants can make more money in this way.Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better.

Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson’s career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. In 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson’s book Silent Spring completely change the way America though about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America’s Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson’s name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.19. What happened______ to Rachel Carson in 1962?A.

The answer is between eight and ten hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.But the scientists say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms,and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story" helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.German scientists think that your brain (大脑) keeps working while you are asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly.This showed that their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tonight , and you'll be at your best tomorrow!22. What problem do more than a half of students have?A. They don't get on well with their studies.B. They don't have enough sleep at night.C. They don't relax themselves at school.D. They don't follow their school rules23.

This passage in mainly written for _______.A. parentsB. school teachersC. scientistsD. young studentsDDonna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. “Donna needs a new heart,” her doctor said, “she must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna's friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn't want Donna to die.Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. “I am going to die,” Felipe told his mother, “and I am going to give my heat t o Donna.”Felipe's mother didn't pay much attention to Felipe. “Felipe is just kidding,” she thought, “Felipe is not going to die. He's strong and healthy.”But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches sometimes. “my head hurts,” he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches.One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy (眩晕的), and he couldn’t breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for th em. “Felipe' s brain is dead,” the doctors said, “we can't save him.”The parents were very sad. But they remembered Felipe's words. “Felipe wanted to give his heart to Donna,” they told the doctors.The doctors did several tests. Then they told the paren ts, “we can give Felipe's heart to Donna.”The doctors took out Felipe's heart and rushed the heart to Donna. Other doctors took out Donna's heart and put Felipe's heart in her chest. In a short time the heart began to beat.The operation was a success. Felipe's heart was beating in Donna's chest, but Donna didn't know it. Her parents and doctors didn't tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. “I feel very sad,” Donna said, “but I am thankful to Felipe.”Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life.Felipe's brother John says, “Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe.

When I was complaining（抱怨）about it, three people appeared at my desk - a tired woman and two children.“Are you all sick” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.“Yes,” the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. Onechild had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending（假装）to cough.Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their charts — no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.The family huddled（蜷缩）together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly ca me back todoctor said, “she must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna's friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn't want Donna to die.Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. “I am going to die,” Felipe told his m other, “and I am going to give my heat to Donna.”Felipe's mother didn't pay much attention to Felipe. “Felipe is just kidding,” she thought, “Felipe is not going to die. He's strong and healthy.”But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches somet imes. “my head hurts,” he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches.One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy (眩晕的), and he couldn’t breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for them. “Felipe' s brain is dead,” the doctors said, “we can't save him.”The parents were very sad. But they remembered Felipe's words. “Felipe wanted to give his heart to Donna,” they told the doctors.The doctors did several tests. Then they told the parents, “we can give Felipe's heart to Donna.”The doctors took out Felipe's heart and rushed the heart to Donna. Other doctors took out Donna's heart and put Felipe's heart in her chest. In a short time the heart began to beat.The operation was a success. Felipe's heart was beating in Donna's chest, but Donna didn't know it. Her parents and doctors didn't tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. “I feel very sad,” Donna said, “but I am thankful to Felipe.”Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life.Felipe's brother John says, “Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe.

The IllnessCZhang Ming, a college student from Shandong, created a 9-page “WeChat guide”. With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. Theyneed an easy way to learn how to use new technology.” He said.Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2019. Parents used to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information besides from asking older generations(长辈). Therefore, in the ag e of information, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center(CINIC), 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of30. The younger generation usually acts asa link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?” said Zhang.1. According to the passage, Zhang’s parents can’t_______with the “WeChat guide”.A. make video callsB. send messagesC. grab the red envelopesD. take pictures2. Why does children know more than their parents do nowadays?A. Because parents teach the children about almost everything.B. Because children can ask more older generations for help.C. Because parents are getting old.D. Because children can get more information by using new technologies.3.What does the underlined word “link” in paragraph 5 mean?A.teacherB.connectionC.treasureD.conversation4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Zhang Ming’s “We Chat guide” is made up of drawings and simple words.B.40% of parents lean about new technologies from their children all over the world on 2019.C.56.7% of social media users in China are under 30 according to the CINIC.D.Zhang Ming thinks that we should encourage our parents to use more new technologies.DIn London, there has always been a main problem. In order to solve this problem, the government has decided to have a bike revolution (革命). It has decided to provide 6,000 bikes for the people to rent.The government encourages local people to ride bikes in order to solve the traffic problem.More than 12,000 people have agreed to the idea. Some of them ask for more than one key.Although there are not enough bikes, an official (官员) from the government said that they would find some ways to deal with such a shortage.Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations (停靠站). There are about 315 docking stations across the city. About 12,450 keys have already been handed out to the local people, but only6,000 keys can be used now.Let's see the cost you need to pay. One key costs ￡3, and the cost of using the bike is ￡1 for an hour. The cost per hour increases as the hours increase, so it will cost ￡50 if you rent the bike for 24 hours.The official from the government said they also needed to face a lot of problems, for example, some bikes may be lost. But they said they would try their best to solve all the problems to make sure the success of the program.1.

He said,"Yes, indeed, you speak very well." __38__ the girl still kept saying,"No." In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know __39__ to say.What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't __40_ a compliment （恭维）in the same way as the American people do. She should answer "Thank you" instead of "No". She __41_ understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the __42_ , people will feel __43_ and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the __44_ you have cooked are very delicious, you should say,"Thank you".If you are modest and say,"No, I'm __45_ I can't do it well", while working in a western country, people may think you really can not do it.

杭州市文澜中学2018年八下期末阅读提升训练AZheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than50,000 kms during the years of his travels.Zheng He led a fleet with 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses.On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreignkings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He' s travels. The Columbus of the east, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He's travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.1.Why did Zhu Di want Zheng He to sail to many different countries?A. To learn more about the world.B. To bring new countries under the control of China.C. To show other countries his power.D. Both A and C.2.What do we know about Zheng He from the passage?A. He travelled to India and Africa.B. Each trip lasted six years.C. When he died, he was 72 years old.D. He was a great king.3.Which of the following did Zheng He take to foreign countries from China?A. GoldB. TreasuresC. GiraffesD.Silk.4. After Zheng He died, ___________A. nobody remembered himB. almost all the books about his travels were burnedC. the new king thought these trips were luckyD. sea trips to other countries lasted 50 years.BHave you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail represents high speed, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.“The letter should be sent next ‘Mother’s Day’ and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan, a senior high school student in Hefei, instructs one of the companies offering the service.Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother in advance to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day.“Offering this service makes people slow down and let them understand the meaning of ‘time’ in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a “future mail” company in Hefei. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters are “reminders of care, friendship and love.”While “future mail” is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.Zheng said customers are glad to complete an acceptance form and make an assessment (评估) so they can be compensated (赔偿) if their letters or goods are lost or damaged.Most of the business’ customers are college students and young white-collar workers. Psychologists said young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service.“Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so they can experience the connection between the past and the present while they receive the letter. It can help people re-understand the meaning of ‘time’ ”, said Wang Kaiyu, a sociologist in Anhui Province.1. Express mail is a(n) ________way to send your letters.A. slowB. fastC. impossibleD. ancient2. _________ are interested in future mail service now.A. College studentsB. Blue-collar workersC. Old peopleD. Young children3. Through the future mail service, people can________ .A. forget friendshipB. show feelingsC. misunderstand “time”D. make an assessment4. According to the passage, future mail is_________ .A. dangerousB. expensiveC. difficultD. safe5. You had better use future mail if you want to __________ .A. save money from sending express mailB. send a birthday gift to your friend quicklyC. talk with your e-friends about your life freelyD. express your wishes for your fathe r’s next birthdayCI know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth,I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life changed. All of a sudden, I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.Finally, I hated this small boy. The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house who did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, but I do remember that I was feel ing very angry. Then I found myself in my brother’s room. I couldn’t help reaching my hand through the bars(栏杆)of his bed. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me feel so important For the first time, I saw my brother through the eyes of a sister. Suddenly I realized love from my family was always with me.To this day, I can’t imagine life without m y brother. It is unbelievable(难以置信的)how much I have learned about life from a seven-year-old boy.

Networks have been part of our life. Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备} has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密）methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million recordswere not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dales, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers tobreak into the operating system and get people's private information.Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers' devices are able to recordthese searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.1.We can learn from the passage that______.A. not all the public WiFi networks are safeB. none of the public WiFi networks is safeC. in 2015 more than 950 million records were protectedD. there is no way to protect our private information2. Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT_______when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.A. our birth datesB. our passwordsC. our phone numbersD. our smartphones3.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A.

Cherie Blair, thewife of previous Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son ifschool dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?JapanHigh schools have canteens (食堂), which serve everything from noodles to rice, but no hamburgerand chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) andvegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition (营养) value.Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭) atthe end of the month receives a prize.Untied StatesA typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken,lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the dailydietary allowances (定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories.AustraliaMeat pies, sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as thenation pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto schoolmenus. Many schools have used a "traffic light system". The sale of red-labelled foods, including cakes,chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi (寿司), sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day. In some schools, studentshave a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South AfricaMost of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 pm and students gettheir own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a risein obesity amongchildren. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases,some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools areprovided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots andtomatoes.1. What does the underlined word "obesity" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. NutritionB. AddictionC. Food shortageD. Overweight.2. We can infer from the passage that______.A. a typical menu from a US school consists of enough nutrition.B. most of the students in South Africa eat their lunch at home.C. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school.D. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan.3. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.B. Schools serve different foods from country to country.C. Schools should supply the students with the best food.D. School children all over the world dislike their school food.4. The article is written for ______.A. parentsB. schoolmastersC. nutritionistsD. students of your age任务型阅读What can you make with pieces of paper？Look at Chen Yiyan’s works!The 14﹣year﹣old has Origami（折纸）talent at Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School．Zhejiang．（1）________But he wasn’t bo rn with this talent．When Chen was a fourth﹣grader，he found his brother’s paper﹣folding book．（2）__________Following the 50steps shown inthe book，he made his first work，a paper peacock，within two hours．Since then，he has read many books about Origami and practices in his spare time．So far，his“fantasy world“has man members，such as monsters and robots．And he made his favorite work last year．（3）_________ Chen used to fold （折叠）paper himself until he met Chen Changnan，an eighth﹣grader at his school，who also loves Origami．They set up a paper﹣folding club last year．With support from school，they host a paper﹣folding class every Wednesday afternoon．The club soon attracted people．Now it has more tan 20 members．（4）__________On February 14th．The club also held a speech for the kids in wenzhou Children’s Library．“It’s really exciting to develop my hobby and share it with others at the same time．”said Chen，“I hope more and more people get to know Origami and love this art．”A．It’s a paper dragon that involved （包含）almost 2019 steps．B．They show their works and teach students how to fold．C．He has folded a“kingdom“with his hands．D．It got him interested in Origami 5．The passage mainly tells us__________．A．a paper﹣folding clubB．how to fold paperC．a student with Origami talentD．how to develop hobbies．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分25 分）第一节：完形填空（共10 小题，每小题1 分，满分10 分）通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出一个最佳选项。

When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won't be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far. Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸） in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage（损坏）.Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel.

Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump（垃圾堆）.Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage （排污） system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets（厕所）, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice（老鼠） and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal （金属）. The mental can be reused and recycled. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles（堆）where they slowly change into something called humans, which looks like black earth.
