Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life. The Hunzas, people live in Himalayas, are famous all over India for their long and healthy lives. They work hard near their homes in the clean mountain area. They do not travel a long way by bus, car or train. They do not sit all day in busy offices of factories. They take more exercises and eat less food than people in the cities. They eat vegetables grown by themselves. They drink milk taken from their own cows. For years, the Hunzas of the Himalayas do not need policemanfor there is no crime. They do not need lawyers for there is no divorce. They do not need doctors for there is not much illness. They are a happy and peaceful people.( ) 1. The following describes the life of the Hunzas exceptA. They work hard outdoors in the fieldsB.

The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.A blacksmith's job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse's leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses——for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and，as theputs it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”( )6. According to the reading passage，a blacksmith must be likely a______ man.A. cleverB. richC. strongD. lucky( )7. James Corbin became a blacksmith because he__________.A. was interested in horsesB. was needed by the policemenC. drew a picture of the horseshoeD. had a make a living( )8. In the reading passage “to shape a shoe” is to__________.A. fit it on the horse's footB. use it for two or three hoursC. make the from of a horseshoe from a piece of metalD. draw a picture of the shoe( )9. The best title for the passage is “__________."A. Policemen on HorsebackB. Blacksmiths and HorseshoeingC. James Corbin，a BlacksmithD. Horseshoeing is a Good Way to Make a Living( )10. Which of the following is true？A. Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.B. New York is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.C. Policemen on horseback enjoy travelling around the United States.D. Policemen on horseback are less expensive than those in cars.CThe Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it? The following questions and their answers will help you to know more about the Internet.What is the Internet?The Internet is a large, world-wide collection (聚集) of computer networks (网络). A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different kinds of networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. If you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web (网) .What is the World Wide Web?The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic (电子) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.What is e-mail?Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It’s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots (点) and an @ (means “at”). Fo r example: Lily @ .Write a message, type a person’s e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet. People don’t need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office because of the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting —that’s the Internet.( ) 11.

People didn't have modem machines. There was no modem medicine, either.Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't let dirty smoke go into the air.We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there arefewer people driving, there will be less pollution.Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.( ) 46 Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today because__________.A there were no modem machinesB there was no modem medicineC both A and BD there were not many people( ) 47 is the biggest problem in today's life.A Water pollutionB Air pollutionC Noise pollutionD Pollution ( ) 48 The most serious kind of pollution is_________.A noise pollutionB air pollutionC water pollutionD A, B and C ( ) 49 Factories must clean their water____________.A before they are thrown awayB when they are thrown awayC after it is thrown awayD before it is thrown away( ) 50 From the passage, we know that_________.A a few years ago, there was no smog at allB today people don't have to talk to each other loudlyC we can drink water from the polluted rivers and lakesD people are making rules in order to (为了) fight pollutionBAre you a crazy chocolate fan? Have you heard about Hershey's Kisses? Do you love the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Ifyour answer is "yes" to any of the questions, then my experience will make you jealous (嫉妒的). I just went to the famous Hershey Chocolate Factory!The other day we drove from Washington D.C. to the small town of Hershey, Pennsylvania When we arrived at the factory, we realized that this was much more than just a factory. The whole town is a chocolate-themed amusement park. The sweet smell of chocolate is on every street comer. There are even road signs that say things like, "Chocolate Ave (大道)" and "Cake St."As we were walking towards the park, Jason, our tour guide, began telling us about this quiet little town. "Hershey Chocolate has been a brand in the world over the past hundred years. It is the biggest company that makes and sells chocolate in America," he started. "I guess you can get the chocolate in China, can't you?"I nodded (点头) without thinking. How could I possibly not know those lovely little candies when I've been eating them all these years?Jason went on, "The factory first started on a small farm. It developed very fast. So they built this town for factory workers to live in. Then they built hotels, hospitals, stadiums (体育馆), theatres and even museums with the theme of chocolate. Isn't that cool?""Yes, a hundred times yes!"

Based on (依据) a famous Chinese tale, the film is expected to open next year.In the story, Wang Bao is a lively and imaginative young boy. He dreams of having something magic to keep him out of trouble at school and in his everyday life.One day, he finds a real magic gourd. The gourd helps him realize everything he needs or wants to do.

It fixes the boy's models quickly, and always does his homework on time. The boy just sits to wait for everything to happen.But he slowly learns his wishes come at a price. When the boy wants to borrow a picture book in the library, the book is stolen instantly into his schoolbag. When he wishes to get the answers in an exam, his classmate's paper flies onto his desk!

He was born on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California. His family was very poor, and Jack had to leave school to make money. He worked hard in many different jobs.Later, Jack returned to school, but he didn't stay. He wrote，“Life and the pocketbook (袖珍书)were both too short. ”In 1897, he went to Alaska to find gold. Instead, he found ideas there for his books and stories. He returned home and started to write. His writings were successful, and he became rich and famous in his twenties.Jack London was not a happy man, however. In poor health, he took his own life(自杀) in 1916. He was only 40 years old.56.

Jack was a successful writer, but he didn't live happily.BIn today's world，sleep experts say that for a better night's rest，Americans should turn off their smart phones or iPads before sleeping. Such electronic products make the brain more active，and then influence their sleep. But according to a latest survey，more than 90% of the Americans regularly use a computer or some other kinds of electronic products in the hour before bed.Researchers find that manmade light from some electronic products at night may reduce the brain chemicals(化学物质) that help sleep.In the study, the researchers let volunteers read，play games and watch movies on a screen for different time while measuring(测量) how much light their eyes received. They found that two hours of sitting before a bright screen at night reduced the sleep chemical levels by about 22%. Studies of students using computers at night have got the similar results. And researchers say that may not only cause sleeplessness，but also raise the risk of obesity(肥胖症)，diabetes(糖尿病) and other diseases.To be on the safe side，the researchers advise us to use computers less before bed，or at the very least turn down our screen as much as possible.59. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Americans don't get enough sleep.B. Electronic products are very popular.C. The brain becomes more active at night.D. Sleep experts never use smart phones.60. The volunteers in the study did the following things EXCEPT ____.A. listen to musicB. play computer gamesC. watch moviesD. read electronic books61.

Though I have had some trouble with the language，I have never had a problem I couldn't solve. As a native English speaker，I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.Recently，the King family moved to Canada. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them and showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city，Victoria. Mr and Mrs King had a twoyearold son and soon we became Nainai and Y eye. We were having a good time but we didn't realize Mr King couldn't speak English.Luckily，Mrs King can speak very good English. Many people with a Chinese background live near us. In fact，none of them speak Chinese. Mr King can't even buy a mobile phone without his wife's help. He can't talk to me，of course. By the third day，he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day，we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.Now，we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs King would still like to live near us but Mr King cannot. Maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.69.
