One foreign designer(设计师) is finding creative ways to make a change, and he’s inviting bikers to join him.Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland(荷兰). He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog(雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at a Chinese bike-sharing company to create a new product for public use. It’s an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle, which is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the dirty air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker’s face.In winter, it’s common for thick clouds of haze(霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions(排放物), to cover areas of China.“Of course one tower and a few bikes won’t solve China’s air pollution problem,” Daan said. “But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully encourage communities to create greener cities.”21．How does the air-cleaning machine offer clean air to the biker?A．By blowing out dirty air.B．By running fast by bike.C．By cleaning the air around the biker.D．By breathing in the dirty air and cleaning it.22．Why is Daan inviting bikers to join him?A．To help solve the air pollution problem.B．To make more Chinese friends.C．To raise money for the tower.D．To test his new machine.23．What is the best title(标题) for the text?A．Biking for Fresh AirB．Breathing in and outC．Survey from the GovernmentD．China’s Air Pollution ProblemIn most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.Here are some things students often do. No-rubbish lunches. How much do you throw away alter lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in boxes that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least rubbish and report them to the whole school! No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car, not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run. Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty million tons of water a halt hour? In a year, that will fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.We love our environment. Let’s work together to make it clean.24．Environment clubs ask students ________.A．to run to school every day B．to take exercise every dayC．not to forget to take cars D．not to throw away lunch boxes 25．From the passage we know the students usually have lunch ________.A．at school B．in shops C．in clubs D．at home 26．On a no-car day, ________ will take a car to school.A．both students and teachers B．only studentsC．neither students nor teachers D．only teachers27．After students mend toilets, they save ________.A．a small river B．much time C．a lot of water D．lots of money 28．The writer wrote the passage to ask students to ________.A．clean schools B．make less pollution C．join clubs D．help teachers Polite SpeechDifferent countries and cultures have their own rules of polite speech. When learning a language, it is important to learn rules of polite speech of the culture in which that language is spoken.In spoken English, indirect questions are generally considered more formal (正式的) and polite than direct questions. Indirect questions are questions with extra (额外的) words and phrases to make your questions softer and less demanding (强求的). Try using some of these phrases to create indirect questions, “Do you know…”, “Can/Could you tell me…”. When “Where is the bus stop? “ becomes “Do you know where the bus stop is?”, it sounds much more polite.It is said that it is easy to recognize (辨别) an impolite question when you’re the person being asked the question, but not so easy when you’re the one asking the question. What makes a question impolite? Most people would consider a question impolite if it’s asking them for information that they don’t really want to disclose to others. For example, in many cultures, it is not polite to ask questions about money. “How much money do you get every month?” is not good. When unsure, it is best to remember that, if you are meeting someone for the first time, or you don’t know a person very well yet, keep on the topics like sports, music, hobbies, or other general ones. Avoid topics which can be more personal to someone, such as money, family, age, health, politics, religion (宗教) .In the English language, “magic words” are very important in polite speech. “Please” is sometimes referred to as the “magic word”. When eating out in a restaurant, you’d better say “Check the bill, please.” instead of “Bring me the bill, waiter!” Another magic word (or phrase) is “thank you”. When using English to ask for things or information, it is therefore important to use the magic words “please” and “thank you”.Polite speech is always welcomed, so why not use it? Even if you haven’t used these polite words and phrases all your life, it’s never too late to start. Practice holding polite conversations with family and close friends until you’re comfortable. and it feels natural. Gradually, speaking politely will become second nature (天性) to you though it might seem so difficult to speak politely. Try to speak politely in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.29．If we want to make our questions more polite, we should ________ .A．speak louder to make everyone hear the questions clearlyB．make a good choice of proper places to ask the questionsC．ask questions directly with pleasant expressions on facesD．add extra words to the questions to make them sound softer30．The word “disclose” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A．look up B．make known C．pay attention D．keep away 31．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．It’s not easy for the listeners to find out the impolite questions.B．Some “magic words” play an important role in our polite speech.C．Personal topics have to be talked about when we meet a stranger.D．It isn’t necessary to practice polite conversations with our family.32．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To discuss the advantages of the polite speech.B．To teach us to use language in different situations.C．To encourage us to use polite speech in our life.D．To help us deal with the shyness when we speak.三、阅读还原5选5根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项. 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Balancing all these aspects can be challenging, which is why effective time management is crucial. Time management refers to the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between various activities. It not only helps in improving productivity but also reduces stress and enhances overall well-being.For students, good time management skills can lead to better academic performance. By allocating specific time slots for studying, attending classes, and completing assignments, students can ensure that they cover all their syllabus requirements without last-minute cramming. This not only boosts their confidence but also allows them to have more free time to pursue hobbies or relax.Moreover, time management teaches discipline and responsibility. Whenstudents learn to prioritize their tasks and stick to their schedules, they develop a sense of accountability. This skill is invaluable in both academic and professional life, as it sets the foundation for punctuality, reliability, and meeting deadlines.In addition, effective time management can significantly reduce stress levels. Many students feel overwhelmed by their workload, leading to anxiety and burnout. By planning and organizing their time efficiently, students can break down their tasks into manageable chunks, making them less daunting. This approach not only makes studying more enjoyable but also helps maintain a healthy work-life balance.Lastly, good time management fosters independence. As students take charge of their schedules, they learn to make decisions about their priorities and how they want to spend their time. This autonomy encourages self-reliance and prepares them for the challenges of adulthood.In conclusion, time management is a vital skill for students to master. It not only aids in academic success but also promotes personal growth andwell-being. By incorporating time management techniques into their daily routines, students can lead more organized, productive, and fulfilling lives.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The challenges faced by students in today’s worl d.B. The importance of time management for students.C. How to balance academics and extracurricular activities.D.

It emphasizes the result of the action.•The present perfect continuous tense is used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing at the present, or actions that have been going on for some time. It emphasizes the continuity or duration of the action.Explanation: The present perfect tense uses “have/has” followed by the past participle of the verb, while the present perfect continuous tense uses “have/has been” followed by the present participle of the verb. The present perfect tense is more about the completionof an action, while the present perfect continuous tense is about the ongoing nature of the action.2、How can you distinguish between the uses of “like” and “as” in a sentence?Answer: The uses of “like” and “as” can be distinguished based on the following guidelines:•“Like” is used to indicate similarity or comparison between two things or people.

On the other hand, “as” can introduce a comparison clause (e.g., “She sings as beautifully as her mother did.”) or a reason/explanation (e.g., “She sings as she’s been practicing for years.”). The choice between “like” and “as” often depends on the context and the level of formality desired.3、What is the difference between the simple past tense and the past perfect tense in English? Explain with an example.Answer:The simple past tense is used to describe a completed action that happened at a specific time in the past. For example, “I went to the park yesterday.”The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action or before a specific time in the past. For example, “I had finished my homework before it started raining.”Explanation:•Simple past: Describes actions ending in the past.•Past perfect: Describes actions completed before another past event ora time in the past.4、How can you use the modal verbs ‘could’ and ‘would’ in a sentence? Provide examples.Answer:Modal verbs ‘could’ and ‘would’ are used to express abilities, conditions, or hypothetical situations. ‘Could’ is used for a past ability or possibility, while ‘would’ is used for a habitual action or a future hypothetical situation.Examples:•“Last year, I could ride a bicycle.” (Past ability)•“I could ride a bicycle when I was five years old.” (Past ability, starting a sentence)•“If I had more time, I would travel more.” (Future hypothetical situation)•“I would travel more if I had more time.” (Future hypothetical, startinga sentence)Explanation:•‘Could’ emphasizes past ability or possibility.•‘Would’ brings a sense of willingness or habit in the present or future hypothetical scenarios.5.What are the four main seasons in Britain and their typical weather characteristics?Answer:The four main seasons in Britain are spring, summer, autumn, and winter.•Spring typically features mild and pleasant weather with moderate temperatures and occasional rainfall.•Summer is usually warm and sunny with high temperatures and occasionally some showers.•Autumn is characterized by cooling temperatures, mild rainfall, and colorful foliage.•Winter brings cold and wet conditions with lower temperatures, snowfall in higher elevations, and strong winds.Explanation:This question examines the student’s awareness of the seasonal climate patterns in Britain.

We suggest placing clearly labeled recycling bins around the school and organizing workshops to educate students and staff about proper waste sorting.2.Energy Conservation: Transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar panels could drastically cut down on our carbon footprint. Additionally, switching off lights in unused classrooms and encouraging natural lighting use would conserve electricity.3.Green Spaces: Developing green spaces within the school grounds can enhance biodiversity and provide a tranquil environment for learning. Plantingtrees and creating a vegetable garden would also serve as practical lessons in biology and environmental science.Conclusion:Implementing these eco-friendly changes will not only contribute positively to the environment but will also instill a sense of responsibility among students towards conservation efforts. It is our collective duty to act now for a greener future, and I hope that you will consider our proposals seriously.Thank you for your consideration.Yours sincerely,[Your Name]President of the Environmental ClubAnalysis:The student has effectively communicated the importance of adoptingeco-friendly practices at school. The introduction sets the stage for the proposal, and each suggestion is clearly stated with practical steps outlined. The conclusion reinforces the initial message and makes a compelling call to action. The response adheres to the word limit while maintaining clarity and coherence, demonstrating the student’s ability to organize their thoughts logically and express them appropriately.。
