Mrs Elise was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunchtime, I was getting ready to eat my tuna fish (金枪鱼) sandwich and suddenly Mrs Elise asked me if she could buy my sandwich. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria (食堂).
I was excited. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria before. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use it again the next day. So you could understand my happiness when I had the chance to buy a hot lunch.
When we finished lunch, Mrs Elise told me that she was a Catholic and Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays. They ate fish on Fridays.
I got home and told my mama that I wanted a tuna fish sandwich on Fridays. After my mama understood why, she gladly made tuna fish sandwiches for me on Fridays. She even made it with brown bread because she knew Mrs Elise liked brown bread. From then on, every Friday I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about the cafeteria food. It tasted perfect to me! Now I realize that Mrs Elise could have made herself tuna fish sandwiches on Fridays. But she bought mine because she saw a little girl who was excited about the simple act of having a hot lunch.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He was a world- famous British physicist. He also wrote a children’s book with his daughter. Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but without the magic. “It explains the wonders of the universe,” said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago.
Hawking was probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He was an expert on black holes. He had put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”Hawking had a bad illness that kept him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking (眨眼).
He often sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selected his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer (语音合成器).
“I have had the disease for most of my life,”Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”
Although Hawking was such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He had received many awards for his work over the years. These include winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics (理论物理学). ()34. In the first paragraph, the book that Stephen Hawking wrote is __________.
A. the same as Harry Power
B. quite different from Harry Potter
C. about the magic
D. about science
()35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Hawking was more famous than Einstein.
B. Hawking was less famous than Einstein.
C. Both Hawking and Einstein were very famous.
D. Neither Hawking nor Einstein was famous.
()36. What does the underlined word “selected” mea n?
A. Chose.
B. Considered.
C. Invented.
D. Prepared.
()37. According to the passage, which of the following statements is a fact?
A. Hawking had received many awards except the Albert Einstein Award.
B. The illness stopped Hawking from moving and talking.
C. Hawking communicated with others by speaking.
D. The illness stopped Hawking from being successful.

In our life, it’s not uncommon to deal with someone who is stubborn (固执的). You may not like such people because they don’t easily listen to you or fol low your advice. Well, some stubbornness is really annoying. I’m sure you’ve ever met a very stubborn person and thought why he / she was just so stubborn.
Stubbornness has a time and place, you might think. Standing your ground on important things is a good use of being stubborn. Standing your ground and shouting “Santa Claus isn’t real!” at a younger relative is a bad use of being stubborn. But a new study suggests being stubborn might have some health benefits (益处).
A new study published in International Psy-chogeriatrics aimed (力求) to find out psychological characteristics (心理特点) that may lead to a longer life. The research had a study group of 29 participants (参与者), aged 90 —101 years old, in small villages in Italy. At the end of the study, it was found that even though all the participants were in worse physical health than their younger family members (aged 51—75), their mental health (精神健康) was much better.
Researchers believe that stubbornness helped participants stay mentally energetic because they were less likely to care about what others thought of them and, in turn, would have less stress from it.
“I am always active. I don’t know what stress is,” a study participant said in a test, “Life is what it is and must be faced ... always.” So next time you meet stubborn people, you can share the good news with them. Well, just tell them not to be too stubborn.
()38. What do we learn about stubbornness from Paragraph 2?
A. It has two sides.
B. It can be very dangerous.
C. It means not listening to others.
D. It is hardly shown by younger people.
()39. What does the new study mainly want to find out?
A. Why some people are stubborn.
B. Whether stubbornness can be good for our health.
C. How psychological effects work on our bodies.
D. What psychological characteristics can .lead to a longer life.
()40. What does the underlined word “it” in Pam- graph 4 refer to?
A. Mental stress.
B. Stubbornness.
C. Being connected with others.
D. Caring about others’ opinions.
()41. What does the study mainly show?
A. Happy people are usually stubborn.
B. Stubborn people are more energetic.
C. People are stubborn for different reasons.
D. Stubbornness might help people live longer.

Many of us still don’t think that we need to recycle things. Sometimes choosing the correct bin (垃圾箱) to put our rubbish in and emptying it seem to need too much effort. In fact, separating our rubbish is not that difficult and only takes a few minutes. In my hometown in the UK, I recycle paper, plastic and glass bottles. I have a bin for food waste. It is difficult for me to put something into the general waste when I know I can recycle it somewhere else.
Sometimes it is hard to understand why recycling helps the Earth. The main rule is that recycling saves the energy that would be required to produce waste products again. Production along with other polluting factors (因素) such as transport is increasing the levels of harmful gases in the atmosphere and this is causing the global temperature to rise.
The saddest part is that most affected areas are the underdeveloped countries in the Global South which don’t have enough money or resources to waste as we do. So they don’t largely result in global warming. While they experience natural disasters and changing weather affecting their food production, people like us living in developed countries mostly located in the Global North experience few problems. It has been proven that global warming as a result of human activity does lead to climate change. The present global temperature is rising very quickly.
There are also negative (负面的) effects of recycling. For example, melting down old plastic to make new items can use a lot of energy. On the one hand, this is a method of producing energy. On the other hand, it causes further pollution. Besides, as long as we continue to produce more waste, environmental degradation (退化) will cause more problems and we will have fewer resources, so we need a solution.
()42. The writers’ experience of separating rubbish is mentioned to show that _______.
A. recycling is easier than we can imagine
B. separating rubbish is everyone’s duty
C. it is hard to form a habit of recycling
D. the general waste should be properly dealt with
()43. According to Paragraph 2, recycling is good for the Earth mainly because ______.
A. it can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills
B. it can stop the global temperature from rising
C. it can protect some valuable natural resources
D. it can reduce the use of energy in waste production
()44. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The future of the Earth is hopeless because of global warming.
B. Many people don’t consider global warming a problem.
C. Underdeveloped countries suffer more problems than developed countries.
D. Few people in underdeveloped countries have realized the seriousness of global warming.
()45. What topic will most probably be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. What negative effects recycling can cause.
B. How to balance recycling and further pollution.
C. Why people should recycle the waste in their daily life.
D. Whether recycling can cause environmental degradation.

Dear Linda,
I’m glad to receive your letter. You wanted to know about some changes in Chinese students’holiday life. I’d like to share some with you.
Our holiday life has changed a lot in the past few years. During holidays, both study and relaxation are important. We usually read books that we are interested in. At the same time, we may take a trip to relax ourselves. We also help with the housework at home. In the countryside, students help their parents with the farm work. In cities, we often join in some social activities, like doing voluntary work. Some students even go out to find some part-time jobs.
In a word, our holiday life is becoming more and more colorful. We enjoy our holidays very much.
I hope you will come to China for your holiday sometime in the future.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Wang Li
