He finds old military （军队的）medals for sale in antique （古董）stores and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners, and returns them.His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he got one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions, "Who are you？What antique shop？" However, when she hung up, she felt sorry about the way she had answered the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y. "At that point, I knew she meant business," Zac says. "To drive eight hours to come to see me."The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator forthe Army during WWII，was killed in action in Europe.Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure. "This medal was very valuable to my parents. Only on special occasions （场合）would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands," Adeline says.As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so important. "But as I grew older," Adeline says, "and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left." Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.31.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself？______A. In the army.B. In an antique shop.C. From his mother.D. From Adeline Rockko.32.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him？______A. She was very impolite.B. She was serious about the medal.C. She didn't believe his honesty.D. She came from a rich family.33.What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart？______A. Her parents' advice.B. Her knowledge of antiques.C. Her childhood dream.D. Her memory of her brother.SSteven J. Scott loves following rubbish trucks. His strange habit is meaningful when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off rubbish trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Scott's jobs is to protecting the business behind the plastic shopping bags.People in America use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts. People are not allowed to use the bags in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Scott to make the case that their products are not as bad for the earth as most people imagine.Among the bag's makers' arguments：many cities with bans still allow shoppers to buy paper bags, which are more easily recycled than plastic bags, but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all rubbish on the ground today.Many companies have also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement：reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer his life and the more plastic-bag use it offset（抵消）. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often need more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the earth than plastic.Environmentalists don't have doubt about these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.34.What has Steven J. Scott been hired to do？______A. Help increase the shopping bag sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off rubbish trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？______A. Plastic bags are as bad for the environment as we imagine.B. The cities with bans on plastic bags do not allow shoppers to buy them.C. People can recycle paper bags more easily than plastic bags.D. The paper bags are recommended to shoppers by environmentalists.36.What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bags makers？______A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. Producing them needs more energy.D. They are less strong than plastic bags.37.What is the best title for this passage？______A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Business, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Rubbish Collection and Waste Control38.He is such a good boy that his teacher often ______ （表扬）him.39.What difficulty did they have ______ （录制）Happy Camp because of the bad weather？40.It's said that they are studying an ______ （最新的）method to solve that problem.41.Night Garden is many children's favourite, though there's no ______ （对话）in it.42.The ______ （centre）government has long tried to control the housing market.43.This kind of opera was created in ______ style and had strong local color.（tradition）44.The man has made a great deal of money．He seems even______ （wealthy）than other bosses．45.Nobody knows the famous ______ （music）address because he keeps it a secret.46.I felt confident that our school football team (win) the match the next time.47.---Director， we______（prepare） everything． Shall we begin to film now？---OK． Everybody， we're ready to shoot．48.I met an acquaintance（熟人）when I ______ （enjoy）a new film in the cinema lastnight.49.Who do you think ______ （choose）to announce the results on the coming show？50.Factories that give off poisonous gas must be paid attention to ______ （reduce）airpollution.51.The growth of the total COVID -19 cases will be probably the most serious problem inthat country unless it ______ （control）properly.52.Parents are the most important people in our life．They influence our lives in so manyways．They teach us almost everything about living，give us strength of character and make us who we are．It is because of them that we become able to do our duties．The things that we are able to do are actually their gifts to us．Right from taking care of us when we are young to guiding us whenever we need their advice，they are always there by our side．All we can do for them is to give them love and happiness and try to make them feel proud of us．First of all，you need to follow all the good things they taught you when you were very young．It could be about eating healthily or exercising in a regular way，or it could be about helping anyone who needs help．Not make complaints is also a good way．So don't complain about what you don'thave．Learn to appreciate（感激）and love what your parents give you；you may not know the struggles they go through in order to give you that．Thirdly，you also need to start making your own decisions wisely and confidently．Inother words，take control of your life by deciding what will be good or bad for you．Let them see that you are able to do all kinds of things without asking others for help．More importantly，you should try to be a good person．Be polite and respectful to your family and friends．When they give you advice or a suggestion，you'd better take their ideas into consideration．Try to work as hard as you can and be modest with what you have achieved．Anyway，seeing you grow into a good person will surely make your parents proud．53.难道你不觉得中学生玩电脑游戏是浪费时间吗？Don't you think it ______ to play computer games for the middle school students？54.我们了解到这对双胞胎都没有绘画天赋。

Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.（）45.The writer of the passage thinks that _____ there is a blind spot on the eye.A. few people knowB. no one knowsC. most people knowD. all the people know（）46. ―a blind spot‖ in the passage means ________ in Chinese.A.污点B. 消散C. 盲点D. 遗失（）47.
