Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first months of your life were like, I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.

Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.

On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.

After you found the secret of language, you learnt words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words mean things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express your idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.

30. ______ can remember the day when we spoke our first words.

A. Few of us            B. No one       C. Most people      D. All of us

31. When you were a little baby, you ______.

A. tried your best to remember all the sounds you heard

B. spent most of your time eating, playing and sleeping

C. could not hear any sounds around you

D. spent most of your time playing with your parents

32. The secret of language is that ______.

A. one sound might be as good as another

B. a certain sound is for a certain thing

C. people can understand each other

D. there is a special sound for each other

33. The use of language is ______.

A. to get everything one wants from another

B. to say what one wants to know

C. to make oneself understood by others

D. to share ideas, opinions, news, etc. with one another

     You may hear about earthquakes, but do you know what to do before, during and after an earthquake? Here is some advice for you:

     Before an earthquake    It is necessary to prepare yourself and your family. All family members should know how to turn off gas, water and electricity and know useful telephone numbers (doctor, hospital, police and 119 etc.) .Never put heavy things over beds.

     During an earthquake    It is important for each of you to stay calm. If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or table.

If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground. Move away from buildings, bridges and trees. If you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible, staying away from bridges and tall buildings, stay in your car.

     After an earthquake    ONCE the shaking has stopped, DO NOT run out of the building at once. It is better to wait and leave when it is safe. Check around you and help the people who are in trouble. If your building is badly broken, you should leave it. If you smell or hear gas, get everyone outside and open windows and doors.

Qi Haoran, a Junior Grade One student at the High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winter holiday – and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign.

These students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Chinese people are well-known for being hospitable（好客的）and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

38. These students went to the restaurants in the winter holidays in order to _________.

   A. enjoy eating with friends     B. tell people not to waste food

   C. talk with people about their study                          D. collect and clean the plates

39. The Clean Your Plate Campaign started __________ in January.

   A. in a big restaurant           B. in a CCTV programme

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is the second largest lake in the world, too. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.

Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.

One possible reason is drought. Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.

However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power factories on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.

Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water. Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer. Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die.

42. Lake Victoria is __________.

A. the only source for the Nile River        

B. the largest lake in the world

C. the only source of water, food and power for Africa  

D. an important lake in Africa

43. “It is shrinking.” most probably means __________.

A. “It is becoming larger”                        

B. “It is becoming more beautiful”

C. “It is becoming smaller”                       

D. “It is becoming more useful”

44. According to the passage, the TRUE idea is __________.

A. rain water is the only source for the lake

B. there has been much rain in the lake area since 2000

C. the power factories in Uganda don't take water off the lake

D the power factories in Uganda were made smaller in 2000

45. According to the passage, the way to solve the problems around Lake Victoria is __________.

A. people must build more power factories

B. more sources of water must be found

C. every country should offer some money to Africa

D. all the people living in the area should move to another place2世纪教

Minoru Yamasaki was a well-known American architect (建筑师). He was born in Seattle, Washington in 1912. Minoru went to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. He slept in a room with 100 other men.

Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.

Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.

Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won another two awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Centre in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.

Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built in his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.

Minoru Yamasaki died on June 2, 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.

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

It’s not easy for us to forgive someone who has ever hurt you or made you disappointed(失望的). H72  , several new studies say that it could be good for your health. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as a healthy or medical problem. On the other h    73   , studies show that something like anger can change your well-being(身心状况).

When cartoon characters l  74   theIncredible Hulk get angry, they change colors and often get special power. In the real w    75    , anger is less obvious. Scientists say anger can be harmful to your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the s    76     idea. The studies find that people who are a  77   to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression.

They also have fewer headaches, l    78     blood pressure(血压), and fewer problems on sleeping. So it doesn’t m    79     if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Ways such as deep breath can h   80     you a lot, or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. I   81    , it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
