Brush your teeth every day, dentists say. In the south of Africa, some people brush their teeth all day long.

They keep a small stick in their mouth to chew or scrub （洗刷）their teeth all day. People cut the sticks from trees. They are the African toothbrushes. People there are used to brushing their teeth with sticks.

Africans think the sticks work better than toothbrushes. The sticks come from nature, and it is said that there is something special about them. The special thing may stop many kinds of tooth problems. “If you have a bad tooth, it is a medicine,” said Diop, a seller in Africa.

The sticks are also much cheaper than toothbrushes.

In Senegal（塞内加尔）, the chewing stick is called “sothio”. It means “to clean” in their language. In east Africa, the stick is called “mswaki”. It’s their word for “toothbrush”.

Even the dentists agree that the sticks seem to clean teeth better. Nowadays, some nice health stores in the United States start to sell chewing sticks. They think that the stick is natural kind tooth care.

33. Who brushes teeth with sticks first according to the passage?

Giving flowers to others is a way of showing feelings to them.

Although it’s one of the oldest traditions, it has never lost its charm

and never will. It’s a simple way that speaks much for givers, much more than the most expensive gift can. A red rose carries a message of love, and a bunch of flowers can show warmth and convey a message of love. Flowers can be used in many occasions, like at parties and at festivals.

The choice of flowers for different occasions changes. It depends on the thoughts or feelings you want to show. Sunflowers are often used on Father’s Day, while some females’ flowers such as white or red carnations are often given on Mother’s Day.

The languages of the flowers convey much more than the spoken language does. Flowers are perfect gifts for all occasions. They carry love, cheer and warm feelings. So it’s important to choose right flowers on right occasions. Keep the following rules in mind, please.

●Choosing flowers’ colours which are suitable for the occasions.

●Knowing about what your friends or family like most can make our choice easy.

●Giving flowers properly, which is the key to conveying your message. For example, giving roses to girls is better than giving sunflowers to them.

●The bunch of flowers should be full of colours.

37. Giving flowers to others is a way of showing feelings that ______.

A. People in modern society start to use        B. people seldom use

C. people don’t use any more now           D. People like using all the time

38. The underlined word“convey” in the first paragraph can be replaced （替换）

A. people like all flowers they are given

B. Women love flowers more than men

Dear Reader,

Imagine an 11-year old girl whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the field.

 Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can’t fill her stomach with water because it’s polluted, and who has watched life slip away from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. If Maria grows up without any schooling, what will

be her future?

But for just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like

Maria. Through “Save the Children”, you can help Maria’s mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.

To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital…bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.

For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout(施舍物), but a “handup”. That’s how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can’t work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.

It can make such a difference in her life and yours.

41. We can most probably read the letter in __________.

A. somebody’s diary                B. a newspaper

C. a progress report                 D. a storybook

 

42. From the passage, we can infer （推断）that _________

A. Maria is an 11-year-old girl.

B. Maria’s family is very poor.

C. Maria has to do a lot of hard work.

D. Maria is hoping to get schooling.

43. What is “Save the Children”?

A. An organization to help poor children go to school.

B. An office of the government to collect money.

C. A program shown at theatres to help the poor.

D. A group who works for children in poor places.

44. The underlined word “sponsor” means “__________” in Chinese.

A. 回报　　　　B. 资助　　　　　C. 感恩　　　　D.　抢救

45. What does the last sentence in the letter mean?

A. If Maria goes to school, you will be rewarded.

B. What you give is more than what you take.

C. Both Maria’s life and yours will change a lot.

D. Marie and you can help each other at school.

A）根据下面短文内容，在文章后第62~71小题的空格里填入适当的词语，并将答案填写在答题纸标号为62~71的相应位置上。注意：每空1词。

In today’s society, everyone is busy and running at a fast pace every day. We feel our time is previous（珍贵）and needs to be used effectively（高效地）. We need cheap meal ideas that can help us save time and money and still provide a healthy and nutritious (有营养的) dinner for us and our family.

   The fast food makers know we have little time and that the idea of cooking dinner after a long day at work is not something we look forward to. So the fast food makers offer us cheap food that requires no cooking, no cleaning, and only 25 minutes to pick up.

   But eating so much fast food will cause body fatness and fast food is not nutritious, so it’s not the healthiest choice to consider. There are some very cheap meal ideas that take almost no time to prepare and will make coming home for a good meal more enjoyable.

   The first cheap meal idea is one dish which includes meat, vegetables and rice. This is not only a cheap meal idea, but also it is fast because it can be made in only 20 minutes.

   You can quickly make some pancakes and scrambled eggs (摊鸡蛋) for the family in about 30 minutes. If you think it is strange to eat breakfast food for dinner, consider how the same foods give you what you need to go through a whole day.

Another cheap meal idea to try is a “macaroni(通心粉) and

cheese with meat” dish, which only takes around 20 minutes to cook.

If you are interested in these cheap meal ideas, you’re welcome to visit our website for details. When you fix one of these or other cheap meal ideas at home, you are taking time out of your busy day to treat yourself and your family in a special way.

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡为72－81的相应位置上。

Many colours have their own meanings in English. We cannot understand the colour by literally. (按字面理解)

“White elephant” m  72   “expensive but useless things”. White elephant is thought as God. If anyone gets a gift like a w  73    elephant, he or she will be in bad luck and have bad feelings. In China, there has been a product named “white elephant”. It hasn’t sold well in international market  f  74   a long time. What is the reason? The name “white elephant” is the a  75  .

There is a saying “beautiful lie” in China. Your friend wants to i  76   you to dinner. However, you don’t want your friend to waste money. You l  77   to your friend that you have had your dinner. These lies don’t have bad means; s  78   these lies have good will. Americans call these lies “white lies”.

There is a p  79   song “White Christmas” in America. White Christmas? Why they call Christmas white Christmas? In fact, it is because white means s  80   in the song. A white winter means snow in the winter.

White has some more meanings, such as “a white night” means having no sleeping

during the w  81   night; “a white day” means a good day with good luck; “show the white feather” means showing weakness.

Almost every coulor has its social meaning. If you are interested in it, try to find something more about it and you can learn more.
