We have only one earth. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Life today is
easier than it was 46
years ago, but it has brought some new problems. One of the biggest
problem is pollution. We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has polluted the 47
. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the
problem was not so serious because there were not so 48
people. When the land was used
up or the river was not clean in the place, man went to 4

place. Now man is slowly
polluting the whole world. 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

0 pollution is still the most serious, it's bad for 51
things in the world.
Many countries don't let people burn 52
for air in houses and factories in the city.
Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of pollution. It's caused by heavy traffic.
People say it's 53
to ride bikes. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But even in
developed countries, most people don't go to work by bike. It's not because bikes are
expensive or people are tired if they ride to work. It's because the number of cars on the
roads become larger. So more people 54
their bikes and go to work by car, then things are
getting worse and worse. We should have special roads only for bikes and make it
55
difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to
using their bikes.

四、阅读理解（本大题共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30 分）
（ A ）
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful
houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of
money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those
who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in
trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your
parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your
friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you
will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy,
too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always
around you.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor,
you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought
with money.
When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you
have more chances to challenge （挑战）yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and
you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it
also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
( )56. Happiness is for___________.
A. those who have large and beautiful houses
B. those who have cars
C. those who have a lot of money D. all people
( )57. When you do something wrong, ___________.
A. people around you will help you
B. you will have no chance to challenge yourself
C. your classmates will laugh at you
D. you will be happy
( )58. Which is true according to the passage? ___________.21·世纪*教育网
A. When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.
B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.www-2-1-cnjy-com
C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.200
D. All the above.
( )59. Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money”? Because___________.
A. money always brings happiness B. money doesn’t always bring happiness
C. everything can be bought with money D. only rich people have happiness
( )60. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Happiness
B. Happy and Lucky
C. Do Something Good to Others D. life and Success5

A large part of China experienced larger amounts of smog (雾霾) than usual and the air
was badly polluted. The distance one could see was shorter than 1,000 meters in Beijing,
Tianjin, and the provinces of Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Anhui. In some areas, it was
down to 200 meters.
People usually set off firecrackers (爆竹) to celebrate the Spring Festival. But because of
the smog, this year seemed very quiet. It was really different. A man called Zhang Wei said
that his friends and he hadn't set off a single firecracker.
“We all suffered from last month's smog. If we don't call an end to the firecrackers, the
environment will get worse and worse during the holiday.” Said Zhang Wei. He called on
more people to set off fewer firecrackers during this year's Spring Festival holiday by
putting up a notice in his neighborhood.
More Chinese looked forward to celebrating the holiday in a greener way. They decided
not to set off firecrackers. They also decided not to waste food. They said that the new
celebrations sounded fashionable.

have started to use national 4 standard (标准), which is expected to reduce (减少) vehicle
emission (车辆排放) by 30% to 50%.Beijing even has started to use the stricter national 5
standard.
We still have a lot to do to improve the air quality. For example, using public
transportation as much as possible is not a hard thing for us to do, but it matters a lot.

Animals are natural resources( 自然资源) that people have wasted all through our
history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feather, for food, for sport, and simply
because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the
earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United
States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone,
there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are
more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.
Destroying one kind of animal can cause many problems. For example, when farmers killed
large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats
and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their
numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save animals. Some groups raise money to let
people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting
animals in danger. However, only 12 countries have passed laws. Slowly, the number of some
animals in danger is growing.

When I came to the USA, I felt strange because everything was new to me: the culture,

felt lonely. Soon I found a Chinese group and we started to do different activities.
I found reading was my favorite activity. Our reading group got together every two

How to Protect Wild Animals
Nowadays, many wild animals are in danger. The environment they live in has changed
a lot.
For example, with the development of cities, the air is polluted and water is no longer
clean. Wild animals' living places are badly polluted. Many of them don't have enough food
to eat. Otherwise, many people kill some animals for their fur, skin, teeth and meat.
Animals are our animals. People can't live without plants and animals. We should plant
more trees to make homes for wild animals and prevent animals from being killed. If there
are more plants and more wildlife animals, the world will become more and more beautiful.
