Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school. Parents and teachers think it will make a better learning environment at school, but some students don't like their school uniforms. So what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?
In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called "gakuran" which have dark jackets with stand-up collars and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku", which look like European naval（海军）uniforms.
Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long gray or black pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term.
In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think uniforms make students lose their personalities（个性）.
For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden（经济负担）. Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.
In a word, love it or hate it, school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world so you'd better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

A British explorer is claiming to be the first person to walk the length of the Yangtze River in China. Ash Dykes, from Old Colwyn in North Wales, finished the 6,437-kilometer journey by himself. The 28-year-old said he felt great after crossing the finish line in Shanghai, where he was greeted by his family, the media and Chinese supporters.
The expedition (探险) took them two years to plan and 352 days to complete. At the start of the walk, the destination (目的地) of the Yangtze River was difficult to reach and four members of his team left the expedition before it began because of altitude sickness. There were also fears over the possibility of bear and wolf attacks.
He said he wanted to use his journey to stress (强调) protection projects by partnering with the World Wide Fund for Nature, Green Development Foundation and Water to Go. The explorer said raising environmental awareness during the expedition makes it far more meaningful because he has a great love of the protection of the environment.
The idea of walking along the Yangtze River was planned after Dykes visited China in 2010 and he felt such a journey would take him to “the heart of the country”. Dykes said that the journey was not only about challenging himself but about meeting people along the way. “It was about the locals, the different cultures, customs and traditions. It has been amazing.” he said.
40．Why did four members of his team leave the expedition?
A．Because they could not stand the altitude illness.
B．Because it needed too much time to plan the walk.
C．Because the destination of the Yangtze River was too difficult to reach.
D．Because they were once hurt by some animals during the journey.
41．What's the purpose of this journey?
A．To make people know Ash Dykes.
B．To raise people's environmental awareness.
C．To show people's different opinions about the expedition.
D．To encourage people to walk the length of the Yangtze River.
42．What did Ash Dykes think of his journey?
A．It was easy and amazing. B．It was difficult and terrible.
C．It was meaningful but boring. D．It was challenging and meaningful.

The Silk Road went from China to Eastern Europe. It went along the north of China, India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea.
It was called the Silk Road because one of the major products traded was silk cloth from China. Chinese silk was soft and of high quality, so people throughout Asia and Europe loved it very much. 44． Even the Romans called China the "land of silk".
Besides silk, the Chinese also sold teas, salt, sugar, porcelain(陶瓷), and spices. Most of the goods were expensive. This was because it was a long trip and traders didn't have a lot of room for goods. They bought goods like cotton, ivory, wool, gold, and silver.
Traders traveled in large caravans(商队). They would have many guards with them. 45． Much of the road was through dry land, so camels were popular animals for transport.
Although there was some trade between China and the rest of the world for some time, the silk trade developed quickly during the Han Dynasty(朝代) which ruled from 202 BC to 220 AD．46． During this time the Mongols controlled most of the trade road, and Chinese traders traveled safely. Also, traders had a higher social position during the Mongol rule.
47． It not only helped to develop trade between different countries, but also helped for ideas, culture and inventions to spread across the world.
A．The Silk Road was important.
B．The Chinese sold silk for thousands of years.
C．The Silk Road was full of wealth as well as danger.
D．Traveling in a big group like a caravan helped in protecting themselves.
E.Later, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, trade from China along the Silk Road was fully developed.

九、书面表达。
At present only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons.
Some students think they have too much homework and they are busy doing it every day. Others don’t have a habit of reading. And they often spend their spare time on TV or the Internet.
However, reading has many advantages. By reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help us think better. Also reading can make our life more colorful.
Here is my advice. First, teachers are supposed to give less homework to us so that we can have more time to read. Second, it’s a good idea to start a reading club, so we can learn from each other.
