Things have changed.China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are not easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.(1)、People in China have to pay for using plastic bags at shops and supermarkets now.（A）A：TB：F(2)、China made this rule because plastic bags were bad for the environment.(A)A：TB：F(3)、The Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.(A)A：TB：F(4)、Some students in Chongqing buy cloth bags for their parents.(B)A：TB：F(5)、The main idea of the article is the bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.(B)A：TB：F2、If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.(1)、The passage mainly tells us about the importance of taking care of plants.(A)A：TB：F(2)、Forests are homes for different kinds of animals.(A)A：TB：F(3)、The need for more wood and more land help to protect our forests.(B)A：TB：F(4)、We'll have more and greater forestsn in 20 or 30 years in some people's view.(B)A：TB：F3、How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.(1)、The origin of language is _____D____.A：a legend handed down from the pastB：a matter that is hidden or secretC：a question difficult to answerD：a problem not yet solved(2)、What is true about words? ____C___A：They are used to express feelings only.B：They can not be written down.C：They are simply sounds.D：They are mysterious.(3)、The real power of words consists in their ___D___.A：propertiesB：characteristicsC：peculiarityD：representative function(4)、By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means __B___.A：a special qualityB： a joining of ideas in the mindC：an appearance which is puzzlingD：a strange feature(5)、Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? ___A______A：He is no more than a master of words.B：He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C：He can move men to tears.D：His style is always charming.4、In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1)、What is the main idea of this passage? ____B____A：It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B：The role of time in social life over the world.C：If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D：Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.(2)、What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? ___B____A：A matter of work.B：A matter of life or death.C：Y ou want to see him or her.D：Y ou want to make an appointment with him or her.(3)、Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.? ___B___A：at 7:00 amB：at 4:00 pmC：at the midnightD：at 4 am(4)、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ___D_____A：In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B：No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C：It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D：Promptness is valued highly in American life.(5)、From the passage we can safely infer that ___B____A：it's a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B：the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C：it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D：if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explanation.三、词汇与语法1、Y ou shouldn't __C_____ your time like that, Bob; you have to finish your school work tonight.A：cutB：doC：killD：kick2、No matter __D___ , the little sisters managed to round the sheep up and drive them back home safely.

This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater, 1 B salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other 2C .And we can't even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water,which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need 3D water is increasing rapidly - almost day by day. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our previous water. One of the first steps we should 4A is to develop ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this 5 E , but only on a small scale. The systems that have been worked out resemble those used in spacecraft.(1)、A：takeB：orC：sourcesD：forE：case(2)、A：takeB：orC：sourcesD：forE：case(3)、A：takeB：orC：sourcesD：forE：case(4)、A：takeB：orC：sourcesD：forE：case(5)、A：takeB：orC：sourcesD：forE：case五，英译汉1、He is in the world a famous pop star.他是世界著名的流行曲歌星。
