His job was to 2 away the leaves from the pool in the mountain. He wiped away the silt (淤泥) that would otherwise have choked (堵塞) and polluted the 3 flow of water. The village soon became a(an) 4 attraction for visitors. Swans floated along the clear spring, and the view from the top of the Alps was beyond 5 .Years passed. One evening the town council met for its meeting. One man's eye caught the salary figure being paid to the keeper of the spring. He said, "Who is the old man? Why do we keep him year after year? No one ever sees him. For all we know, he is doing us no 6 . " Then, they fired(解雇) the old man.For several weeks, 7 changed. By early autumn, however, the tree leaves began to fall and fell into the pools, 8 the rushing flow of water. The spring water turn yellowish. A few days later, swans left, and so did the tourists.Quickly, the councilmen held a special meeting. Realizing their 9 , they rehired the old keeper of the spring. And within a few weeks, the river of life began to clear up. Then, new life returned to the village in the Alps.Never look down on the seeming smallness of one's task, job, or life!

A. wish B. day C. meaning D. difference五、阅读理解Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits (限度) of person’s intelli gence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.( ) 1. How is man’s intelligence given?A. At birth.B. Through education.C. Both at birth and through education.D. Neither at birth nor through education.( ) 2. According to the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?A. Become a genius.B. Still become a genius if he should be given special education.C. Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.D. Never reach his intelligence in his life.( ) 3. What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?A. The importance of their intelligence.B. The role of environment on intelligence.C. The importance of their jobs.D. The part that birth plays.( ) 4. What statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. No education can help make a genius.B. Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.C. People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.D. Environment influences people in intelligence developing.( ) 5. How does the writer make his idea clear?A. By giving explanation.B. By giving an example.C. By giving figures (数字).D. By giving suggestions.六、句子翻译1. 在夏天，新鲜的食物很容易变坏。

When she finally reached the top, she noticed a dark shape several inches from her left foot. She was frightened and then looked carefully. "It's a dog and it's dead. "she said to herself.

This new type of rice would be as big as peanuts. This person is Yuan Longping﹣﹣﹣"Father of Hybrid Rice".Yuan Longping was born in 1930. He graduated from the Southwest Agricultural University in 1953. He came up with an idea for a Hybrid rice in the 1960s. Since then, he has devoted himself to research and to the development of new varieties.In 1973, together with other people, he succeeded in the development of Hybrid rice. This made China a worldwide leader in rice production. In 1980, the technology for hybrid rice was introduced to the United States. Now his"super rice"has been introduced to more than 20other countries.Because of Professor Yuan's hard work, China now produces enough rice to feed her people every year. Last November an online survey showed that most Chinese believed that Yuan deserved（应得）a Nobel Peace Prize.In his spare time, Yuan Longping loves playing the violin and listening to music. Every night, he reads for half an hour before he goes to sleep. He likes swimming, too. It is said that Professor Yuan is one of the richest person in China. But he cares about nothing but hisCAlice is my pen friend. She is a 16﹣year﹣old girl from the UK, but now she lives in China. She is a middle school student in Nanjing. She likes going to school, but there are some things she doesn't like, such as PE. She enjoys playing sports. She thinks sports are interesting and exciting. But she doesn't like doing physical exercises in PE classes. She feels that they are boring!Her favourite subject is Science. It seems that the amazing and useful Science attracts her. She thinks she is on the way to be a scientist. She wishes to invent things to make the world more and more beautiful.In her free time, she often goes to the beach. She loves just sitting around and talking to friends there. She's getting better at understanding boys, but she hates listening to hours of talk about football.

When the user presses(按)“print”，the 3-D printer spreads the materials layer(层)by layer and like magic the object is produced．The first 3-D printer was invented in 1 986 by American．Charles Hull．But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use．Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things．The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges．And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear．But like a lot of new technologies，if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous．In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers(提款机盗刷器)．These were placed on an ATM and stole over$400，000 from users of the ATM．It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun．But for better or for worse，3-D printing has been put into use．In a few years，you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!( )1．________invented the first 3-D printer．A．Charles Hull B．Four men in the USC．Dirk Vander Kooj D．A doctor called Cornell( )2．What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?a．Choose a proper material．b．Press the print button．c．The 3-D printer spreads the material．d．Use a computer to design an object．A．a-b-c-d B．d-c-b-a C．a-c-d-b D．d-a-b-e( )3．According to the passage，people have NOT yet produced________with a 3-D printer．A．a gun B．some furnitureC．a man-made ear D．A TM skimmers( )4．What does the writer think of the 3-D printer?A．It is useless in our daily life．B．It is helpful but dangerous．C．It is necessary only for our work．D．It is too expensive for most people．【阅读表达】It’s March，2050．Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news．They used to readTimes，but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago．There is the usual news about space：another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet．Then they turn to business news：the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai，one of the world’leading business centers．Mary tells the computer，to．buy 5，000 dollars，and there is a quick response(回应)that it has been done．Frank is a computer engineer，working for several companies．Mary has a quick look atthe shopping channels．She also has a job and she is doing medical research．She is now studying Chinese at present．It has become a world language as important as English．Bothshe and frank used to have an office desk in London，but in 2020 they decided to move to the seaside and work at home．1．Why do Frank and Mary switch on the bedroom computer in the morning?2．What are the two important world languages in 2050?3．Would you like to try life on Mars?
