This is like your teacher te lling that you’ve done 2and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but you’ll have to 3your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 4for the rest of the night .I had sa id “yes” but for the first time, I realized the 5decisions adults had to make.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d 6wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 7and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 8apartment, I became 9how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 10I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 11family and work. 12difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a 13attitude.Back home , I 14myself that what my mother could do, I could, too.

If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren’t we willing to fix our earth? Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live? Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time?The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us. Take that game system we run to repair. What does it do? It occupies kids’ time! The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills, forests and plains, water and land. However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores.We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!We have already messed up this world, we have ruined the air, water, and animals that it has so willingly provided for us. We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before. It will not be easy, but everybody can help! What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room? Recycling what can be recycled?Picking up litter? Donating money to an en vironmental organization? None of these things are very hard. We can’t just always say, “Oh, the earth is a mess. Ah, well, those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.” Instead, we need to help out. It’s not only those big companies; it’s everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth. So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!21.Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1?A. To make people better aware of the urgency to the protection of the earth.B. To explore the great harm done to the earth by too much technology waste.C. To show the relationship between overuse of those things with early death.D. To remind people to spend less on them and use the saved money in a wiser way.22.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the author .A. thinks we must take care of our irreplaceable home-----the earthB. thinks running around in fields o ccupies too much of kids’ timeC. takes an extremely negative attitude to things like game systemsD. takes it for granted that technology gives kids plenty of entertainment23.We can clearly feel that the author wrote this passage with deep_____A. angerB. emotionC. sadnessD. Regret24.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To criticize those big companies that ruin the earth2016衡水万卷作业二十七 1B. To ask people to save kids from the harm done by pollution.C. To give kids plenty of entertainment in a clean environmentD. To call on people to stop ruining the earthBWhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college student s to get a bachelor’ s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’ s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.25.The first paragraph serves as a（n）.A．explanation B．comment C．definition D．introduction26.In most US universities, .A．college students are offered the co - op programB．electives' credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC．all students are required to finish four - year education before graduationD．some excellent students can graduate ahead of time27.According to the passage, we can infer that 。
