注意：1、词数：100左右；2、题目已给出，不计入总词数。

Should people stop smoking in public places?【答案】参考范文：Should people stop smoking in public places?Our class had a heated debate whose topic was about whether people should stop smoking in public places. Opinions vary on this topic.Some students agree that smoking is dangerous. Not only does smoking harm smokers themselves but also harm the people around them. Stopping smoking in public places would also urge smokers to smoke less or give it up.However, others hold an opposite view. They believe that it’s legal to smoke and smokers should have the freedom and right to smoke in any place they like. Besides, stopping smoking in public places would drive many bars, pubs or clubs out of business. What’s worse, many people will be out of job because of this.As far as I am concerned, stopping smoking in public places is really necessary for the benefit of both smokers and non-smokers.甘肃省兰州市第二十七中学2020-2021学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷第三节书面表达（满分25分）假如你是高一学生李华，你想与一名叫王林的灾区同学成为朋友，并在学习上给予他一定的帮助，请给他写一封信，信的内容包括：1. 你个人的基本情况（年龄，爱好，特长，理想）;2. 向他介绍你的学习经验（至少两条）;3. 欢迎他到学校学习参观。

APat O’Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family, and one morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage. The wood belonged to Lord Northwood, a rich gentleman, Pat had no right to go there, but in it there were swarms of rabbits and flocks of birds that were good to eat, and Pat determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming toward s him in the wood. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood’s face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat’s hands. Pat’s heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly(大胆) up to the company and said to Lord Northwood, “G ood morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” Lord Northwood, rather surprised, said he and his Mends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite(食欲) for their breakfast. Then, looking at Pat with suspicion(怀疑), he said, “but why are you out so early in the morning?” “Well, sir” said Pat, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowed burst into laughter at Pat’s ready wit(机智), and with a smile LordNorthwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.1. This is a story about ________.A. a rich man who owned a big woodB. a poor Irishman who lived all by himselfC. a clever man who tried to get something to eatD. an Irish hunter with a large family2. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood's face. Why?A. He was not expecting Pat at this early hour.B. He knew Pat was coming for shooting.C. He didn’t like the poor Irishman at all.D. Pat had not told him he would come.3. Why was Lord Northwood s urprised?A. He had not expected such a bold question from Pat.B. He wondered why Pat ran away.C. Pat wasn’t afraid of him.D. Pat had a gun in his hands.4. What made the whole crowd burst into laughter?A. Pat’s funny looksB. Pat’s interesting remarksC. P at’s quick and humorous responseD. Pat’s promise to leave fight awayBThere is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: “ No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.”Today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others. There are a lot of ways to meet other people’s needs. For example, some volunteers provide help after a disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists(考古学家) search for ancient objects to help deepen our knowledge of the past.Volunteers work in many areas around the world, including Haiti. More than four years have passed since a 7.0 earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquakes still live in temporary shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example, Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She could almost not believe how much rubbish was ruining some of the area’s most beautiful sights. Jodie Underhill learned about how to deal with the rubbish while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Jodie Underhill says the work is very hard. But she praises the group’s efforts as a wonderful experience. The young Englishwoman says the Indian media started calling her “Garbage Girl”. And she says she was pleased with the name.American teenagers also volunteer in many ways .5. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ___________.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background6. What do we know about Jodie Underhill according to the text?A. She was born in DharamsalaB. She formed her own group to make money.C. She mainly works on dealing with rubbish.D. She was called “ Garbage Girl” by Americans.7. What can we learn from the text?A. It is difficult for small organizations to get volunteers.B. The number of people died in Haiti’s earthquake is unclear.C. Most of the volunteers are good at collecting money.D. History lovers mainly learn about history from ancient objects.8. What is most likely to be di scussed in the paragraph that follows?A. How to join in a volunteer groupB. Why people offer their services to othersC. The benefits that volunteers can gainD. The volunteer work that American teenagers do.CRiding School:You can start horse—riding at any age.

Apple has cleverly taken advanta ge of the power of the letter “i” --- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2015. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms like e-mail first came into use.Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.※Clearl y the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “Micro blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last ten years.But as history shows, people grow tired of fashions. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.12. People use iPlayer to __________.A. read newspapersB. watch TV programs onlineC. make a callD. listen to music13. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. clearC. uncertainD. unique14. Paragraph 6 connects the power of “i” with ________.A. Apple’s productsB. information technologyC. the Western cultureD. the Internet15. The last paragraph suggests that __________.A. the popularity of “i” products may not last longB. the letter “b” replace letter “i” to name the productsC. fashions don’t necessarily change with timeD. “i” products are oft en of high quality第二节（共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Do you read them?An e-book is an electronic book, which can be made from common books and loaded onto an e-reader. The e-reader is a mini-device, just like a cell-phone. It has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred e-books. People can read e-books on it just like they do a book. So it is possible for people to read anywhere with an e-reader. This is perfect news for people who love to read books but can't carry many.Another great thing is that people can read books on it quickly and there's no need for two hands to hold the book and turn pages. Most e-readers also have a nightlight, so you can read at night and don't wake your partner with a big light on.Not all book authors agree to make their books into e-books. The creator of Harry Potter says that her books will never be e-books. However, lots of authors absolutely love the idea and feel it's the next step to keep books alive.Nowadays e-books are sold in many websites, from where you can buy and load them onto your e-reader.

I read about the famous building called the Leaning Towers of Pisa（比萨斜塔）. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza.I thought this tower must be the best place to buy pizza in the world.Many years later, I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza and that the tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid that it may fall over and they don't want it to lean over the city.I don't think it a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It's 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. It seems to say nothing is perfect. Imperfect things may be more interesting. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy but Pisa tower is the most famous.（1）The writer used to think the Tower of Pizza ______.A wasn't famousB needed fixingC had nothing to do with pizzaD was a place to buy pizza（2）One of the reasons why the tower got its name was that ______.A "Pisa" sounded like "Pizza"B it leaned to one sideC it leaned to both sidesD it didn't lean to any side（3）Which of the following is true about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?A The tower has fallen over the city of Pisa.B It's a good idea to try to fix the Leaning Tower.C Pisa Tower is the oldest tower of all in Italy.D The writer likes it because of its being imperfect.4.阅读短文，判断下列句子正误。

There are currently over 200 000 from outside Britain studying at British universities. The largest single groupis Chinese students. T here are currently 50 000 in the UK. The British government expects the total number of overseas students to be around 900 000 by 2020,and also thinks that a quarter of these will be Chinese.But why is the UK such a popular destination for university students?Well, the quality of your course is guaranteed. All courses are assessed by an independent system, so you can be assured that your course is officially approved and has wide international recognition.The British education system is very flexible in order to provide for the needs ofa modern, complex society. It is also cost-effective. Degree courses are usually 3 years long, which is shorter and more intensive than in other countries. There are lotsof scholarships available.You normally need 3 A-levels, which are the exams taken by people leaving school at 18,in order to enter an undergraduate degree course. You also need an IELTS score of at least 5.5, but many universities offer foundation or access courses to prepare students for their studies.British universities offer a personalized but independent approach. The emphasisis on creative and independent thought, which helps develop the skills you will needto compete in the global job market. Tutors not only teach but also provide supportand guidance. As a result, international students have a very low drop out rate and very high pass rates.It is very simple to become an international student in the UK. The British Council offers a free and impartial service to anyone who is interested in studying in the UK, and an organization called UCAS assists you in finding a course and making an effective application.The UK is an energetic place. The countryside is beautiful, and the theatres, museums, architecture and rich history make it a fascinating place to live and study.Keys: DEKIG HBCJAIII.

Or is it better to keep firm control through theBank of Mom and Dad? The "correct" answer will vary by family and personalpreference.The Credit Card Act that took effect 2.5 years ago made it much harder for anyoneunder 21 to get a card. Gone are the days of card issuers collecting plenty of newcustomers on campus by handing out free T-shirts or rewards points for spring break.Under-21s can still obtain a credit card if they have a qualified co-signer or proofof sufficient income to repay the debt. And card issuers still market aggressively tocollege students, targeting them with pre-screened mail offers. That makes parents, asthe likeliest co-signers, more involved in the card-or-no-card decision.Robyn Kahn Federman of Rochester, N.Y., says there’s “no way” she’ll let eitherof her two daughters have a credit card at such a financially tender age. Her daughterSarah, who’s 19 and about to start her second year of college, uses Robyn’s Pay card instead. That lets her mom fund the balance and see how she spends her money.“I don’t think anything related to debt belongs in the hands of a college kid,says Federman, communications director of a marketing agency. “The vast majority are not experienced enough with money or aware enough of the r isks.”Some students, though, have shown they’re disciplined enough to have their own card on campus.Scott Gamm, 20, a junior at New York University's Stern School of Business,used his income from freelance(自由职业的) work and blogging to obtain a Visa cardand then an American Express card. He charges $200 to $300 on them monthly andpays every bill in full.But he has friends who obtained three or four cards within a year and now havebig debts.age, the higher the“The more credit you have access to, especially at that youngprobability you’ll use that card to finance fancy clothes, restaurants andentertainment.” says Gamm.66. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?A. People hold different opinions about their kids using credit cardsB. Credit cards are useful in helping deal with money matters.C. It is better to have Mom and Dad who now run a bank.D. The new Act made it impossible to get a credit card for freshmen.67. To obtain a credit card, an under-21 has to .A. own a credit card of his own previouslyB. have someone to repay the possible debtC. turn to their parents to get their permissionD. ask their parents to write the application letter68. We may infer from the case of Sarah that PayPal card .A. is a kind of credit cardB. funds the balance automaticallyC. has access to creditD. keeps records of money spent69.

I remember a particular（特别的）day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders（肩膀）.Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped（陷入困境的）. I never really reached out for help（向别人求助） either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.What turned my life around（使我的生活好转）, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio （工作室） in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis（定期地）. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come on your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.8.How did the author deal with his depression at first?A.He turned to his old friends for help.B.He talked about it with his parents.C.He put up with it by himself.D.He read many articles about it.9.How did street dancing benefit the author?A.It helped him find a good job.B.It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.C.It let him find many true friends.D.It cheered him up and made him feel positive10.What does the author suggest people do when they feel down?A.Always be confident in themselves.B.Find someone or something to rescue them.C.Wait for help to come patiently.D.Accept everything that life sends their way,11.How might the author feel about his future?A.Hopeful.B.Fearful.C.Satisfied.D.Uncertain.DMany people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts(专家),however,will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language,though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year. Because they need to learn language to became part of their communities（社会）.Adults,on the other hand,are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community,and adults rarely（很少） get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover.children leaning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring（勇敢的） and confident Adults,however,often feel pressured （有压力的）to be perfect when learning a new language.This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language,they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society.This mind set(思维模式) helps them embrace（接受）learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or“too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language,go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you're older,it may take more work,but it can be done.If you'rea young child,though,now is the time to step out and learn a new language!12.By “Language is their life”,the author means that children .A.can't live without languageB.lead a happy life every dayC.practice a new language a lotD.are taken good care of adults13.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language!A.They are afraid of being laughed at.B.They usually have too many interests.C.They think making mistakes is natural.D.They always make all kinds of mistakes.14.Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning new language?A.The behaviors they have.B.The learning attitudes.C.The future plans they have made.D.The materials they are using.15.According to the author,a new language .A.can never be learned by the old peopleB.can be grasped by the people easilyC.can be understood only by the old peopleD.can learned by both the old and the young第二节：根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day, the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, "Excuse me. I want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning." " Sir," said the poor man, " I am a failure.I have no money , no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel." The rich man said , " Tonight your dream will come true. I'll pay for the best room in that hotel for you a whole month."A few days after, the rich man went into the poor man's room to ask him how he was enjoying himself. To his surprise, he found that the man had moved out of the hotel back to his bench. When the rich man asked why, he said, " You see, when I'm sleeping on my bench, I dreamed I am there, in the big hotel. It's a wonderful dream. But when I was there， I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream, and I couldn't get any sleep at all."5.The poor man lived in ______ before he met the rich man.A. the hotelB. his homeC. the parkD. the car6.Every morning, the poor man sat on the bench and ______ .A. waited for the rich manB. looked at the rich man's hotelC. looked at the rich man's carD. enjoyed the clean car7.Every night the poor man dreamed of ______ .A. sleeping in a hotelB. becoming richC. owning that hotelD. being the rich man's friend8.The poor man moved out of the hotel because ______ .A. he didn't want to live in such a fine roomB. he didn't like the rich manC. he couldn't pay for the roomD. he couldn't get any sleep at all thereCWhen my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, told me that American people dislike “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.9.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______.A. the manager asked him to do soB. he respected the elderlyC. the couple wanted him to do soD. he wanted more pay10.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.A. nervousB. satisfiedC. unhappyD. excited11.After this experience, Jack _______.A. lost his job in the restaurantB. made friends with the coupleC. no longer respected the elderlyD. changed his way with older people12.Which of the following is TRUE?A. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.B. Jack was very angry with the old couple.C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.D. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.DHow can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept(接受) whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it."Certainly not! You don't have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn't.Remember that you get what you pay. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively, you also have to act positively.If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.13.The writer's attitude towards destiny is that___.A. we can change itB. we can't depend on ourselvesC. we must accept itD. we have to suffer it14.According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?A. Regard it as a little failure.B. Get your hands off your phone.C. Sit around and wait for luck.D. Do something to solve the problem.15.The underlined word "positively" in the passage means___.A.不礼貌地B.消极地C.积极地D.礼貌地第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一题：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）ASicily, an island of Italy, is home to beautiful beaches, outstanding food, and a bit of Italian history on every corner. It’s located just southwest of the Italian mainland and it’s the largest Mediterranean island. Controlled by many armies over the centuries, it became the site of Roman and Greek colonies（殖民地）. Those cultures remain to this day.As part of the year of Italy in China, an exhibition of Sicilian culture is being held at the National Museum of China from April 29 to June 27. Although they have a rich culture and history, Sicilian people lead a simple life. Living on land with fertile （肥沃的）soil, most of them work in agriculture, fishing and of course tourism.In Sicily, most stores and businesses are closed from one to four in the afternoon. Street become crowded around five as people start to go out and engage in a variety of activities. They may take a walk to the shops, enjoy a pastry （糕点）or just meet up with friends.Food is one of the great pleasures of Sicilian people. There is an old Sicilian saying：“With a contented stomach, your heart is forgiving. With an empty stomach you forgive nothing.”People will go miles out their way to eat fresh seafood, such as tuna（金枪鱼）, swordfish（箭鱼） and sardines（沙丁鱼）.Pasta （意大利面）is the main food. Each region has its seasonal pasta dishes, and every family cook their own specialty. Bread is common too. As another Sicilian saying goes, “A table without bread is like a day without sunshine.” In Sicily, bread is always freshly baked or bought, and usually twice a day.1. What can be learned from the passage？A. Sicily is the only island in Italy.B. It is easy to do shopping in the afternoon.C. Sicily was controlled by several countries.D. Sicilian people seldom take part in activities.2. The local people work in several fields EXCEPT .A. fishingB. miningC. tourismD. agriculture3.

Sicilians have nothing to eat but bread4. The best title of this passage might be______.A．Italian people B．Italian cultureC．A Sicilian exhibition D．Sicily—an Island of ItalyBI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something, “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost（路灯柱）. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived. Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop. It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.5. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing（尴尬的）6. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something7. At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by other people8. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus？A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.9. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereCThe National GalleryDescription：The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London.

AWild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.Tibe AntetanlopseTibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.Golden MonkeysGolden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongj ia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.ElephantsElephants are very big and st rong . They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hea ring and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards theirneighb ors. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.WolvesWolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves' food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.1. Tibetan antelopes usually live in groups of about _______.A. 20B. 30C. 100D. 2002. Which of the following animal s are the biggest on land?A. Tibetan antelopes.B. Golden monkeys.C. Elephants.D.

Wild animals in dangerB. How to hunt wild animalsC. Animals in the zooD. How to train the animalsBAs traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. B ut this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in Ame rica, is trying to bring this art back to life.One Saturday in 2020, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it. Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl inher hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a nat ional painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the a rt in many important activities.“It is im portant to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular.” Woo said.From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life. Ms Woo uses the art as a t ool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.5. What did Ms Woo do in 2020？A. She won the second prize in a national painting and art competition.B. She was invited to many activities to show paper cutting.C. She held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington.D. She took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper cutting.6. When did Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting?A. when she was fourteenB. after she got to AmericaC. when she was in collegeD. after she finished college7. In the passage, the writer thinks the art of paper cutting is now.A. very po pular in AmericaB. very popular in ChinaC. for people who know about itD. in danger of disappearingCSports are all about change. A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠军称号). But his greatest accomplishment（成就）might have been how much he changed duringhis career.When he was young, Agassi was a show off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous（极大的）talent. Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141. So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world-class player again. More importantly, he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents（对手）. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape, do better in school or be nicer to others. Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.8. According to the writer, which of the following may be the greatest achievement for Agassi?A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings.B. He won 60 titles.C. He changed much during his career.D. He won 8 major championships.9. What does the underlined work “vow” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A. promise.B. agree.C. become.D. prove.10. What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation?A. It is intended to help at-risk kids.B. It is a charity school set up by Agassi.C. Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.D. Agassi runs it with his prize money.11. What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.B. How we can change for the better.C. Another thing happened in l ife that got the writer thinking about change.D. Some assessments(评判) about Agassi from different people.DLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work wi th it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees----anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."12. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries13. Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. 1500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do everything.14. “A window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can _____.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. travel around the worldC. get information from around the worldD. have free laptops15. What can we infer (推断)from the passage?A. The program is successfulB. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive.D.
