Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of the world's most
important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for
different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay
for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food.
Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not
many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This
means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of
them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe
in Zhalong.Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird
Watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their
numbers. The study begins next month.
We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We
need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds. Many people do not
understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand
and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.

Passage 1(2014· ·A 43~45)
Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to
reading and writing? No paper, no books, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens which
always seem to run out of ink at the important moment.A “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don't
do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers.
The teacher downloads information from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's
personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information
on any subject they're studying from math to social science. High school teacher Judy Herrell in
Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about what's going on in the world.
“We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee(
) camps.” she said, “Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible.” And exams
can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers.
The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own
grade book on the Internet.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher
Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to
each student.
“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said. But, with all
this technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down. So, paper books are
still widely available for these hi-tech students.
1. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?
A. Pens. B. Computers.
C. Information. D. books.
2. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that .
A. the Web could take them everywhere
B. the Web taught them a lot
C. the Web can help students have online exams
D. the Web can help students get the latest news
3. Which of the following is not the writer's opinion?
A. The paperless classroom will be good for trees.
B. There are some differences between the paperless studies and those in the usually way.
C. Paper books are no longer useful.D. Paper-free studies are popular with more and more schools.
Passage 2(2014· ·53~55)
Chinese are very generous( ) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring
about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England,
the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where
they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head
in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will
spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for
their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they
can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What
most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children are short of self-respect and self-
confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice
tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they
need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other
housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.
Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook
always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully
step by step. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-
confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with
will make him curious and arouse( ) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying
to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only
teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
1. Most Chinese parents don't realize .
A. how much the best education is worth
B. when children should be educated
C. what children really need in later lifeD. why school tests don't satisfy children
2. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Fixing old machines is very important.
B. Interest is necessary for everything.
C. Broken things are useful for children.
D. Using hands helps improve thinking ability.
3. The writer's attitude( ) to children's education is that .
A. the cheaper an education is, the better it is
B. children today should learn different skills
C. practical skills are useful to children's growth
D. school education can't meet parents' expectation
Passage 3 (2013· )
Now, more and more mothers wear the same clothes as their daughters, so people often
mistake them for each other. According to a new study, mothers today look to their daughters for
fashion and beauty ideas. The study questioned 343 mothers and daughters, with an average (
) age of 44 for mums and 16 for the daughters.
Maybe,I should throw out my grammar books and start from scratch. A report from Temple
University, Philadelphia ( ) also say that many children act older than their years. But they
don't listen to the opinion ( ) from their parents in wearing.
Some mothers buy the same clothe as their daughters do. They like the same colour and style
as their daughters. They do so because they want to keep as young as their daughters. And now
many more mothers compare beauty with their daughters. So a strange thing happens: the woman
may look like a teenager from behind, but she is already middle-aged from the front.
The report shows that if a mum is young at heart and fashion, she is more likely to act as her
daughter as a style expert and copy her. So what are the mothers going to wear in the future? This
may depend on their daughters.
1. Why do people mistake mothers and their daughters?
A. Because they have the same hobbies.
B. Because they often wear the same clothes.
C. Because they often walk together.D. Because they often have the same hair style.
2. How many people were there being questioned in the study?
A. 44. B. 16. C. 343. D. 60.
3. What do many children like to wear in their daily life?
A. Clothes that make them look older.
B. Clothes that look fashionable.
C. Clothes that are expensive.
D. Clothes that are beautiful.
4. What do mothers like to compare with their daughters?
A. Clothes. B. Lifestyle.
C. Jobs. D. Beauty.
5. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Daughters should wear as their mothers do.
B. Mothers should learn from their daughters in the lifestyle.
C. Daughters' fashion may influence their mothers'.
D. Ideas of wearing different clothes.

Passage 5 (2013· )
In my life I have traveled to many beautiful places. Most of them in my mind are blurriness,
but one place I have never forgotten. It is my hometown's Green Water Lake.Actually,Green Water Lake is Green Water River; this river crosses two provinces. Some
company made a dam on the river, so the dam top's river seems like a lake. The water is very
clean and smooth, and there are hundreds of islands in the lake. There are some islands that have
thousands of birds; there are some islands with a lot of bamboo, pines, and with many kinds of
plants I don't know the names. The flowers are white, red, pink and purple everywhere. There are
beautiful smells and beautiful sights.

old. In those eight years, every summer I swam in the Green Water Lake. I liked to swim in the
lake. I liked to dive in the water and watch the fish. I liked swimming in the rain and floating on
the water while listening to the rain. It was like beautiful music. Sometimes I swam to an island to
pick up wildflowers.
Right now every year there are thousands of tourists who travel to Green Water Lake. I am
very happy that people like the lake, but I worry that people will pollute the lake because Green
Water Lake in my heart is very important. I hope Green Water Lake will be beautiful forever and
ever!

Passage 6 (2013· )
Are you in a bad mood? Don't worry! According to a new Australian study, a bad mood can
actually be good for you. The study showed that being sad could help people to judge others more
correctly and was also good for the memory.
The study was carried out by Professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales.
“People in a bad mood paid more attention to the people and things around them than happy
people. Happy people were more likely to believe anything they were told,” said Forgas.
For the study, Forgas and his team did a lot of experiments. During the experiments, they
made the participants feel happy or sad by watching films and thinking about good or bad things
of the past.
In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge whether some
wrong things were true or not. The results showed that people in a bad mood were less likely to
believe that these things were true.
People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when they were asked to
remember the things that they saw.
The study also showed that sad people were better at talking about their thoughts in written
style. In fact, the study said that a light bad mood could help to make communication more
successful.
