For the first time, Zhang Shengyu, a student at Laiyang Middle School in Shangdong,
didn’t ask her mother to buy her a new schoolbag or any new pens for the beginning of the school
term. “My old schoolbag can still be used, so there is no 46 to buy a new one,” Zhang said.
“I’ve decided to be thrifty (节约的) from now on.”
As the centre of the family’s attention, many of the one-child generation do not know about
the hardships of life. They sometimes have no idea of the value of things. Many students would
throw away pens and erasers that haven’t been used up and buy new ones. Some like to 47
each other to see whose clothes and school things are more expensive.
The Ministry of Education released a notification (通知) on its website on Jan 20, 2013. It
called on students to form good habits such as diligence and thrift to avoid wasting food and to
48 famous brands (品牌).
Many schools consider teaching the value of money to be an important lesson and encourage
their students to be thrift.
Students at No 44 Middle School in Heibei planted many fruit trees on their campus. The
students learned how to cherish (爱惜) things 49 taking care of the trees. “With everyone’s
work, we can make a difference,” said Li Dong, a student at the school.
(B)
F. so far G. spend H. happen I. full of J. provides
For most of us in China, we only have to turn on the tap to get clean water. We seldom think
twice about where it comes from.
Day after day, thousands of children in poor countries have to 50 hours walking for
miles to collect water. What’s more, the water is dirty and can cause serious diseases, such as
diarrhea (腹泻). It’s hard to believe, but every 20 seconds a child dies as a result of a water-
related disease.
The international water-aid charity called Just a Drop 51 clean water to some of the
poorest areas in the world, by building wells, pipelines (水管) and toilets. The charity has helped
about 1.5 million people 52 .
Betty, from Uganda, is just one of the people who have been helped by Just a Drop. 11-year-old Betty had to walk two miles every day, carrying two heavy cans 53 dirty pond water
before Just a Drop placed a well in her village. “I used to get sick from the water. Now, I don’t
have to walk long distances and I feel much safer with this clean water.”

Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读写)
VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) ( 12分)
In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual
for people to travel by air because it was dear and dangerous. In those
days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers.
Young men, or “stewards (空乘)” helped the passengers onto the
airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage but they did not provide
food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t
want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous (冒险的) life. Ellen
studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next
few years she stayed at the hospital but she also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.
Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She
loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia
Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a
pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an
unreliable way to travel. There were often delays, many crashes and the bad weathers made many
passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T.
agreed.
The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.
At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but
passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different
airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a
woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job
and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.
In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some
changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid
and work fewer hours than in the past.
69. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph suggests that Ellen was the first woman to
_________.
A) invent the new word “stewardess” B) flew a plane
C) work on a plane D) travel by plane
70. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.
A) Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls
B) Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her education
C) Ellen was fond of working on a farm.
D) Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely.
71. Ellen ________ when she was young.
A) didn’t work as nurse in a hospital B) didn’t want to marry a farmer on a farm
C) didn’t take flying lessons D) failed to get her pilot license
72. The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.
A) her flying experience B) her university education
C) her nursing experience D) her life attitudes
73. According to the passage, in the 1940s, a woman had to _______ if she wanted to be a
stewardess.
A) be a nurse B) be married C) be a mother D) be young
74. The passage mainly talks about _______.
A) the background of early flying pilots B) the experience of flying passengers
C) the history of early flight attendants D) the development of airplanes
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语
完成短文)（12分）School uniforms have been around for hundreds of years, and even
perhaps longer. They are usually used in grade schools, but some high
schools, particularly those in England and Europe often have some
kind of uniform or dress code requirements. In general, they are used
to keep students in line for many different reasons.
One of the 75 of wearing school uniforms is that there is no need to 76 what
children are going to wear every day, and there is more concentration on class. One of the benefits
of school uniforms in this case is that there is no 77 with others. Everyone is wearing the
same clothes every day. This way, instead of competing over who is wearing what, there is more
focus on the daily school work. Not always, but in many cases, girls try to dress provocatively (挑
逗地), whether it’s to impress the boys, or to outdo (超越)one another. Using school uniforms
takes away these distractions (使人分心的事).
Many times, kids are 78 because of the clothes they wear, and it seems that no matter
how hard parents try, kids know who is poor in the school. One of the advantages of school
uniforms is that there is nothing to tell the difference between who is poor or well off. The benefit
of wearing school uniforms is that everyone wears the same thing, whether you are rich, or poor.
There are some other things that make the idea of school uniforms more 79 . There is
no need to buy designer clothes that so many kids demand these days, and this can be very 80
for parents who are constantly being asked by their kids to buy the next latest and greatest fashion.
Some other advantages of school uniforms is that there is less likelihood of kids wearing gang
color and clothes and this can reduce incidents of violence in schools greatly.
75. A. disadvantages B. advantages C. points D. questions
76. A. think of B. try on C. think about D. take out
77. A. contest B. match C. game D. competition
78. A. laughed at B. worried about C. relied on D. surprised at
79. A. attractive B. awful C. correct D. changeable
80. A. easy B. convenient C. helpful D. dull
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的
词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)（14分）
Air pollution, as we know it today, started with the Industrial
Revolution in Europe in the 19th century. In the last few decades, it has
b 81 a serious problem for our environment.
When harmful elements get into the air, they may cause health
problems and can also d 82 the environment, buildings and soil.
They make the ozone layer (臭氧层) much thinner and the climate
more changeable.
Our modern lifestyle has led to dirtier air over the years. Factories, all kinds of vehicles, the
growing number of people are the things that are r 83 for air pollution today. But not all air
pollution is caused by people. Smog , forest fires, dust storms and volcanic eruptions can also lead
to the pollution of the atmosphere.
Smog (雾霾) is a m 84 of smoke and fog. It occurs when gases from hurt fuel get
together with fog on the ground. When heat and sunlight get together with these gases, they formdangerous particles in the air. Smog occurs in big cities with a lot of traffic, e 85 in the
summer time. When it is very hot. Smog stays near the ground. It causes lung diseases and
breathing problems and in smog areas, we can’t see well.
Today, cities with a large p 86 have the biggest smog problems— Los Angeles, Mexico
City or Cairo. The smog often stays over the cities for many days. Thousands of people die in
London every year.
A lot of measures have been taken to prevent smog so far. Drivers are not a 87 to drive
on smog days in some cities. Factories use coal that doesn’t have much sulfur (硫磺) in it. So cars
are much environmentally friendly today.
