But students from Xi’an did it.On April 10, more than 60 students from a middle school took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival(城市生存). Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks in this charitable(慈善的) activity. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in May.To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Qiyue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and fina lly got one chance. “We were upset when they said no. But gradually, we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jiacheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts (手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands of yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt … after almost 20 tries, w e got an expensive necklace ,” he said. They will give all of the money they made to poor schools in Tibet.8.

Looking for part-time jobsDScientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酵素) that eats plastics (塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.The researchers made the discovery (发现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids (氨基酸). It made the natural enzyme’s plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “We’ve made an improved enzyme. It’s better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on,“The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantitie s (大量地).“We’ll see that the plastic pollu tion may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added.12. Accomg to the scientists the engyme may solve theproblem of pollution.A. airB. waterC. light D plastic13. The underlined phrase “break down” in the passage probably means “______” in Chinese.A. 实验B. 生产C. 发明D. 分解14.

The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.B. The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.C. The natural enzyme works better than the improved one.D. The natural enzyme is harmful to humans and animals.第二节（共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分）下面文章中有五处（第 16-20题）需要添加小标题。

However, the passion(热情)he put into his fund-raising efforts drew the attention of many famous people. In a matter of months, Stephen raised over￡3 million.Stephen had wanted to study hard and become a doctor so that he could make a contribution to the world. However, his doctors suggested that he take a year off from school. Instead of following their suggestion, Stephen continued with his studies, receiving excellent grades.In December 2012, doctors told him that his disease was not able to be cured. That was when he made his list and decided to put his energy into raising money for young people with cancer. Stephen saw this as the best way to make his own life better. " I don’t see the point in measuring(测量)life in terms of time anymore. I’d rather measure life in terms of making a difference, "he said.On May 14, 2014, Stephen passed away in his sleep. He was 19.

Because of that, your bedroom says a lot about your personality.And were not only talking about your favorite hobbies or your taste in music and books. Of course a guitar behind the door or science fiction stories in your bookcase give people information about you, but a careful look at your bedroom can teach thema lot more than that.The colors in your room, for example, are very interesting, Has your room got bright colors on the walls, curtains, chairs or quilt? Then you probably love trying new experiences. People with pale walls are often friendly and talkative, but people with dark walls don’t like meeting new people. Black and white is a popular choice for people with strong opinions.Why do you want to have a big wardrobe(衣柜)? A big wardrobe often means that you are into fashion, but not always. It can also be a sign that you hate throwing old things away and prefer keeping everything behind your wardrobe door.Someone with a tidy room is usually cheerful, but someone with an untidy room is often unhappy. The pictures on your walls say a lot, too. Those who are willing to give money and help like decorating their rooms with photos of their friends and family but if your own face is in every picture or you have more than one mirror, watch out! This shows that you are probably a bit selfish.So, before you invite your friends into your bedroom, think carefully. What message will your bedroom give them about you?（）23. The underlined word “that”? in the second paragraph refers to_____.A talking about what you like best B. choosing the things inside your room C. putting a guitar behind the door D. looking at your room carefully（）24.

We can infer that the owner is a happy person from a room with____. A. three mirrors B a big wardrobeC. dark wallsD. everything in order （）26. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Tidy your room every day!B. What does your bedroom say about you?C. How can you have a cool bedroom?D. Invite your friends into your room!DFor a long time, scientists believed that only humans were left- or right-handed. However, recent studies have shown that this isn’t true. Just like People. animals favor one side or the other.In Ireland, scientists studied a group of 42 cats. They gave them three tasks. One was to get a delicious piece of fish gut of abottle.They found that the male cats preferred to use their left paw, andthe female cats preferred to use their right.Being left－or right－handed isn’t limited（有限的)to arms and legs. It can include eyes, ears, claws, andeven tails. In Italy, scientists discovered that dogs wag their tails tothe right when they see something that they like. When they seesomething that they don’t like, their tails go to the left.There are lots of other fun examples. Left-handed dolphins swim in a different direction around the pool. Elephants like to swing their trunks in one direction. Even snakes prefer to curl up only one way.Many people believe that polar bears are left-handed. They say, for example, that polar bears cover their black nose with their right paw, which helps them hide in the now when they are hunting. Then they can sneak up（悄悄靠近）on a seal，and their left paw will be free to catch it.Scientists, however, disagree. Some have watched polar bears for thousands of hours. They never saw the bears cover their nose during a hunt. They also saw no evidence(证据)that they were left-handed.Without taking any notice of this, many websites continue to say that polar bears are left-handed.Scientists are still learning about animals and their behaviors. The next time you see an animal, whether it's your pet cat or an elephant, try figuring out yourself which it prefers—left or right.（）27. The underlined word"favor"in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__. A. give B.find C. see D. prefer（）28. In Paragraph 2, we can get the information about_______.A. an Irish scientist who studies cats.B. a study about cats and its findings.C. three tasks done by male and female cats.D. an introduction on how cats get fish.（）29. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about polar bears?A.It's believed that polar bears are left-handed for they use their left paw to cover their nose.B.The finding that polar bears cover their nose while hunting supported by scientists.C. Scientists disagree with the popular belief that polar bears are left-handed.D. The information from many websites that polar bears are left-handed is believable. （）30. The purpose of this passage is mainly to___________.A. introduce recent studies of animalsB.explain why some animals are left -handedC. tell us which side animals prefer.D. learn about animals in different countries第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章有五处（第31－35题）要添加小标题。

Just like People. animals favor one side or the other.In Ireland, scientists studied a group of 42 cats. They gave them three tasks. One was to get a delicious piece of fish gut of abottle.They found that the male cats preferred to use their left paw, andthe female cats preferred to use their right.Being left－or right－handed isn’t limited（有限的)to arms and legs. It can include eyes, ears, claws, andeven tails. In Italy, scientists discovered that dogs wag their tails tothe right when they see something that they like. When they seesomething that they don’t like, their tails go to the left.There are lots of other fun examples. Left-handed dolphins swim in a different direction around the pool. Elephants like to swing their trunks in one direction. Even snakes prefer to curl up only one way.Many people believe that polar bears are left-handed. They say, for example, that polar bears cover their black nose with their right paw, which helps them hide in the now when they are hunting.

They never saw the bears cover their nose during a hunt. They also saw no evidence(证据)that they were left-handed.Without taking any notice of this, many websites continue to say that polar bears are left-handed.Scientists are still learning about animals and their behaviors.
