Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”
Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place
here for you.”
Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh, Love, I am so sad
that I need to be by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love
called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so
excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder,

New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out
in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are.
The best students won’t only be the ones who have high marks. They will also be the
kids who don’t dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The followings are some of the new
rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in an exam? Don’t do it
again! That’s not something an honest (诚实的) student should do. If you have played
computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you were doing your
homework at that time.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Birdloving
Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! In that way, you can
learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it brings
more fun for everyone.
Be friendly to others. Have you ever quarreled (吵架) with your teammates when your
basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to
the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon?
Maybe you’ll discover Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s
ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for
everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it
happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on
the Internet aren’t good for kids, so try to look at web pages that are good for you. You can use the
web for homework or fun. If you can’t find any good web sites for children; here are two: http: //
kids.eastday.com, http: //www.chinakids.net.com.
根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。
9. The new school rules will help kids by telling them what is right and what is wrong. ( )
10. According to the passage, we know we should love animals and protect them. ( )
11. Good web sites for children can be a waste of time. ( )

The increasing population is one of the most serious problems our world is facing
now. New study shows that the world population will be 6,400,000,000 by 2050.
India will pass China as the world’s most populated country. China now has
1,300,000,000 people. The population should increase about ten percent by 2050. The
United States will remain the third biggest nation whose population
is close to 300,000,000 now. Because of immigration ( 移民) and
low death rates among babies, its population will reach 420,000,000.
Between now and 2050, Niger will be the fastest growing
country. The biggest decrease (减少) will be in Bulgaria. It is based
on information from the United Nations.
And the study says most growth will take place in countries with young populations
and traditionally large families. Nigeria and Japan will be different from each other. In
Nigeria, almost half the people are under the age of fifteen. Few are over sixty-five.
Nigerian women generally give birth about six times during their lives. Usually, a
Japanese woman has one child. And today about twenty percent of Japanese are over the
age of sixty-five.

14. Which country will have the largest population by 2050?

题意，选D 项。
8.A。在宾语从句中，如果从句是客观事实和普遍真理时要用一般现在时态，即不受主句时
态限制。此题中“地球围绕着太阳转”是客观事实，故答案选A 项。

态。另外，such 后接名词，而so 后接形容词和副词，故选B 项。

参考范文：
Saving the Earth
As time goes by, man is making the earth sick. People cut down too many trees and
throw rubbish everywhere. Factories pour the waste water into rivers and blow waste gas
into the air. This has caused some serious problems. For example, the land is sandy, the
river is dirty, the air is not clean, even the temperature of the earth is rising.
The pollution is harmful to our health. What shall we do to save the earth? We should plant
more trees and mustn’t litter about. We should stop factories from pouring waste into the air or
rivers. We should try our best to protect the earth and make it more beautiful.
