(A)
Some animals are raised by their mothers. But we have found that there are some fathers who are great, too.
Penguins: A father penguin often stands in the cold winds in the Antarctic for 60 days or more to protect his eggs. During this time, he does not eat a thing! Most fathers lose about 25 pounds while they are waiting for their babies to hatch (孵化).
Wolves: When the mother wolf gives birth, the father wolf keeps guard outside their home and brings food to the mother and babies. As the babies grow up, the father not only plays with them but also teaches them how to live. Wolves live together as human families do.
Marmosets: These small monkeys with long thick tails live in South America. Among these monkeys, the fathers take care of their babies from their birth. When a marmoset is born, the father cleans it, keeps it safe and carries it to its mother only when it needs to be nursed. When the baby can eat food, it is the father who feeds it.
Rheas: Rheas are large birds in South America and look like ostriches (鸵鸟). Among rheas, it is the father who always takes care of the young. From eggs to babies, the father feeds and guards them until they are old enough to live on their own.

The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk.
It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom of Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?”
On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard.
However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.
Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese Culture.
44. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen?
A. Because the king asked him to do so.
B. Because he wanted to be an inventor.
C. Because the pen brought him much trouble.
D. Because he didn’t have silk to write on.
45. Which is the right order of improving the brush pen?
a. The brush pen could write well.
b. Meng tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick.
c. The special water washed the oil away.
d. Meng dropped the stick into a stone hole.
e. Meng came up with a new idea on the way home after hunting.
A. e-b-d-c-a B. d-b-a-c-e C. e-b-d-a-c D. d-b-c-a-e
46. How can the students understand Chinese culture better according to the passage?
A. By learning to use brush pens. B. By inventing new things.
C. By making pens with animals’ hair D. By planting more bamboo.
47. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Make friends with animals. B. Value fantastic memories.
C. Build a peaceful world. D. Keep trying and never give up.
(C)
What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus (关注). What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health.
Packaging (外包装) is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over packaged? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location (地点) matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us. Try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmer, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car.
Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible.
The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces (减少) waste and keeps the planet healthy.
48. The writer would suggest choosing a product that is ________.
A. over packaged B. delivered from abroad
C. locally produced D. made of unnatural materials
49. The underlined sentence “Much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt.” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. We can easily understand the information.
B. We shouldn’t completely believe the information.
C. We should widely spread the information.
D. We shouldn’t quickly forget the information.
50. How does the writer organize (组织) the six paragraphs?
A. B.
C. D.
51. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Buying Green B. Recycling Waste.
C. Keeping Healthy D. Reducing Energy Use

With the development of science, more and more students don’t like taking notes by hand. 56 They think it is easier to take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class. 57 They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras (数码相机) . In fact, children are very clever to make use of technology.
But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier? The answer is no. You have to do a lot of things before you read notes from digital cameras. 58 Then you need to send the pictures into the computer. Next, you have to find a printer to print the pictures. Another thing is that you can’t hear the sound from the digital cameras clearly because there is usually lots of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything. 59 It can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time you can choose the most important things or the things you don’t understand to write down. 60
A. The children might think there are too many notes to take.
B. You don’t have to write down everything.
C. In fact, taking notes by hand is really the most effective way.
D. Instead, they use digital cameras to take notes in class.

Our school life is really interesting and attractive.
Each term, educational exchange activities are held in the campus in order to provide more opportunities for students to communicate with German exchange students as well as learn about foreign culture. Besides, there was a lecture on how to improve our memory last term, which helped a lot of students with their study. What’s more, not only can we watch English plays and tell English stories on English week, but also we can sing English songs in front of the audience. I think it’s very fun and worth taking part in.
