It is famous for its tilt (倾斜) to one side. Located behind the Cathedral of Pisa, the tower has become a symbol of Italy. It is the third oldest building in Pisa's Cathedral Square.The tower was not designed to lean. Because people built it on soft soil, it gradually tilted to one side. Even though some people don't think the tower is a successful building because of its tilt, the tower has won a special place in history. The tower was used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist called Galileo Galilei.Every year, millions of tourists go to the tower to take the classic photo of pretending (假装) to hold up or knock down the tower. Tourists can also climb the 296 steps to the top inside the tower. There are seven bells on top of it. It is said that you must visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the day. At night the shops are closed and it looks just so-so. However, if you visit it on a full moon night, the tower looks fantastic.When you plan to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa, you should not miss some other sights near it, including Santa Maria della Spina and the Guelph Tower.1.How many buildings in Pisa's Cathedral Square are older than the Leaning Tower of Pisa?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.2.Why did the Leaning Tower of Pisa gradually tilt to one side?A. Because it was designed to tilt.B. Because tourists often pushed it.C. Because it was built on soft soil.D. Because it was built in a windy area.3.From the passage, we can learn that lots of people go to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to .A. take photosB. go shoppingC. ring the bellsD. do experiments4.Where does the passage most probably come from?A. A novel.B. A guidebook.C. A poem.D. A dictionary.BCamping in your backyard is full of fun, no matter what your age is. It's great for keeping us relaxed. It offers us chances to check the night sky and to be noisier than usual. It lets us have friends stay over who might not fit inside the house! Follow these instructions and you'll have a night you'll never forget!Put up your tent.Depending on the number of family members and guests, you may need more than one tent. Tell your friends to bring their tents if needed. Follow the instructions or check out the articles on how to put up a tent on the Internet.Prepare your bedding.You'll want your guests to be able to relax. Put something soft to lie on on the floor: a mattress(床垫) or thick comforters may work well. Fill the tent with soft toys and blankets (毯子). Have lightweight sleeping bags or cotton blankets. They are especially important if you live where the temperature drops greatly at night.Prepare a seating area.If you have a picnic table, that would work best. If not, set up a few chairs and a small table to set out drinks and food. A simple choice is to lay out a blanket in the sun, so that your friends can eat and talk together. Be sure the grass isn't wet!Make memories.Plan some activities. You're camping in the backyard, so it's time to make the most of being outdoors. Have a camera nearby to take photos of you, your family members, and your friends. Take one large group shot(照片) with everyone smiling and laughing.

There used to be even more rubbish here. On one weekend, my grandparents 25 picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That’s as much as an elephant weighs!That rubbish was 26 to the river or the animals and plants that lived there. So the River Rats taught people who were playing around the river to take rubbish with them rather than 27 it. Now there’s much less rubbish for 28 to pick up. Maybe one day we won’t find any rubbish here.My favorite job is to look for water bugs (虫子)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some bugs don’t 29 how dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live in clean water. 30 we find lots of bugs that need clean water, then we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us.I love taking care of the Jacks Fork River.

The teacher sent me to the blackboard to write my name and address. I knew my name and address, knew how to write them, knew how to spell them, but standing at the blackboard with the eyes of the many girls and boys looking at me made me nervous. I was unable to write a single letter.“Write your name,” the teacher said to me. I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and, as I was about to write my name, my mind went empty. I could not remember my name, not even the first letter. “Just forget about us and write your name and address,” said the teacher. I wanted to write but my hand refused to move. The children began to whisper (低语). “Don’t you know your name?” asked the teacher. I looked at her and could not answer. The teacher stood up and walked to my side, smiling at me to give me confidence (自信). She put her hand softly on my shoulder and asked, “What’s your name?”“Richard Wright,” I whispered. I spelled my name very quickly.“Now, can you write?”“Yes, madam.”Again, I turned to the blackboard. I wrote my name and address down quickly and correctly. “Good boy. You may go to your seat,” said the t eacher.Today I can still remember my teacher’s words and encouragement. They meant a lot to me.( ) 31. What was the writer asked to do on his first day at the new school?A. To tell a story.B. To talk about his family.C. To write down some new words.D. To write down his name and address.( ) 32.

The writer’s name and address.C. The new school and the teacher.D. The teacher’s words and encouragement.( ) 35. Which is the best title for the passage?A. My school lifeB. My first teacherC. My first day at schoolD. The story behind my nameBYou probably see a lot of things made of plastic, like bottles and bags, every day. What happens when that plastic gets thrown away? Scientists say much of it ends up in oceans and causes problems for creatures (生物) like fish and birds.“Plastic puts ocean creatures in danger,” says Allison Schutes of the Ocean Conservancy. That's a group that works to protect the world's oceans.A recent study shows that each minute, enough plastic reaches the ocean to fill up one garbage truck! That same study predicts that by the year 2050, our oceans will have more plastic than fish.All that plastic is bad news for ocean life. Some ocean creatures die when they get tangled (使缠结) in pieces of plastic. Others accidentally eat it and die, too.Most scientists say taking out all the plastic that's already in the ocean would be impossible. Instead, they say the best way is to prevent more plastic from getting there.Many groups are already taking action. They organize cleanups on beaches to pick up litter before it reaches the ocean. ▲ , volunteers from the Ocean Conservancy collected more than 16 million pounds of it last year!Experts also encourage people to use less plastic. Many cities and towns in America have banned plastic shopping bags. Experts also suggest that people drink out of reusable bottles and try reusable shopping bags.“These seem like small things,” says Schutes, “but they can help make a big difference.”( )36.

In the winter of 1990, the French artist Jannot Derit was invited to have the opening of his exhibition in a building in the little village of Jukkasjarvi. The building, named the Arctic Hall, was made of snow. Many visitors went there. One night a group of visitors decided to sleep in the Arctic Hall. The following morning the brave group was very pleased with their experience and the idea of an ice hotel was born. Today the ICEHOTEL is world-famous.As soon as winter begins, a team of builders from all over the world come to Jukkasjarvi and they make the hotel for that year. As one part is completed, it opens to visitors, while the other parts are still being built. The first part is completed in December and each week after that a new part opens. The hotel isn't usually completed until January 7th. The ICEHOTEL is built under the open sky, using the natural materials of the winter season. So the finishing date depends on ______ and there are sometimes changes to the plan. In spring, as the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts (融化).No matter how cold it may be outside, the temperature inside the hotel is never colder than －5 ℃ to －8 ℃.
