On their own, the twoare “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village inNorth China's Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and JiaWenqi!Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqilost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi's direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.Though hard-working, the men don't make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares ab out money. Together, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!【】1、Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?A、Haixia needed someone to help him.B、They both needed a way to make money.C、They wanted to improve the environment.D、They were required to do so by local officials.【】2、Haixia and Wenqi's forest has helped the village by ___________.A、stopping floods in the rainy seasonB、increasing the number of touristsC、making the villagers richerD、providing more farmland【】3、Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?A、They are easy to get.B、They do not cost money.C、They can grow very quickly.D、They are preferred by animals.【】4、In Paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “___________”.A、they hope to make the forest even betterB、the fruits from their trees are very sweetC、they are proud not to depend on othersD、they are able to do any difficult work【】5、What can we learn from this story?A、Never give up and you will succeed.B、We should help the disabled to work.C、Try your best when facing difficulties.D、We can achieve more with teamwork.BMost of us could probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now thatwould be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage—chocolate's growing popularity and lessproduction of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoaproduction. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's largest producers, havereduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What's worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and V enezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre's fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they're disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!【】6、The first paragraph tells us that ________.A、chocolate is healthier than vegetablesB、the world could soon be without chocolateC、people love vegetables more than chocolateD、it's not necessary to eat so much chocolate【】7、In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?A、Venezuela and Indonesia.B、Ivory Coast and Ghana.C、Indonesia and China.D、China and India.【】8、Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops_________.A、can make them more moneyB、need less rain to growC、can be planted more times each yearD、are not damaged by plant diseases【】9、How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?A、6 months.B、12 months.C、24 months.D、30 months.【】10、What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre?A、To introduce cocoa production to more countries.B、To provide more chocolate for British people.C、To produce stronger types of cocoa plants.D、To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.COn March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan,a poor university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller.Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothinglike that. When Anne first walked through the Keller's door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne's face, clothing and bag.Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Anne's case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen's sometimes wild behavior. Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak. In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helen's books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helen's side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled people's rights until her death on June 1, 1968.【】11、How did Anne come to work at the Kellers' home?A、She replied to a job advertisement.B、She was introduced by her family friend.C、She was recommended by her university professor.D、She met Mr. Keller while studying at university.【】12、What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met?A、How intelligent Helen was.B、Helen giving Anne a gift.C、The way Helen's parents treated her.D、How forceful Helen was.【】13、According to the passage, Helen's parents ____________.A、allowed her to do as she wishedB、gave her too many gifts and sweetsC、did not spend much time with herD、cared little about her education【】14、Which of the following in NOT true about Helen's university studies?A、She was greatly helped by Anne.B、She was the best student in her class.C、She was able to graduate in three years.D、She was the first deaf and blind university graduate.【】15、According to the passage, both Anne and Helen ____________.A、died in their 60sB、were well educatedC、came from rich familiesD、fought for human rightsDSamuel Osmond is a 19-year old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied thepiano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin andBeethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it inparts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first pieceMoonlight Sonata by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuelwanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, “It's all about super memory I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.【】16、What is special about Samuel Osmond?A、He has a gift for writing music.B、He can write down the note he hears.C、He is a top student at the law school.D、He can play the musical piece he hears.【】17、What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A、Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B、Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C、Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D、Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.【】18、Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ________．A、received a good early education in musicB、played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC、could play the piano without reading musicD、could play the guitar better than his father【】19、What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?A、He became famous during a special event at his college.B、He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.C、He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.D、He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.【】20、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A、The qualities of a musicianB、The story of a musical talentC、The importance of early educationD、The relationship between memory and music四、语法填空In 1. past a gentleman would offer his seat to a lady on a 2.
