A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation (卫生)conditions. In those countries, women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health. In this case, there is an urgent(迫切的)need for people in developing countries to have access to(有机会或权利使用)clean water to improve their health.Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari, a 12-year-old girl in Niger. Having access to clean water changed her life. She learned about the importance of hand-washing when the school first received clean water three years ago. That evening, she told her father, “You shouldn't eat with me unless you clean your hands.” Her father was very angry and shouted at her, “It's not up to you to tell me what to do！” In protest, Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night. After her father questioned Hadjara's head teacher, he understood the importance of hand washing and his daughter's intentions (目的). The girl really wanted her family to live longer and healthier lives.For people in developing countries, clean water can change many things, especially improve their health. So, from now on, let's avoid wasting water and take action to save water.36. The key to improving people's health in developing countries is______ in Paragraph 1.A. to get clean water      B. to exercise oftenC. to refuse drugs   D. to stop pollution37. What can we infer(推断)from Paragraph 2?A. Hadjara laughed at her father's foolishness.B. Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night in order to lose weight.C. Hadjara's father understood his daughter's love for him later.D. Hadjara's father ate dinner with clean hands that evening.38. The underlined word “protest” in this passage means  ________.A. 抗议        B. 保护        C. 节约     D. 赞同39. The purpose of the writer is to  ________.A. teach people how to wash handsB. call on people all over the world to save waterC. show developing countries rich in clean waterD. tell the story of Hadjara and her fatherB   If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start usingthem again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.     When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.     If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tellsus that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things，they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.     So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a wayas other people do.40. Someone can't have a good memory if ________.A. he can't read or writeB. he doesn't use his memory oftenC. his parents haven't a good memoryD. he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time41. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.A. you can't use them any moreB. they will become strongerC. they become weak but they slowly become strong againD. they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again42. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Your memory doesn't work in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D. A good memory comes from less practice.43. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.A. his own faultB. his parents' faultC. his teachers' faultD. his grandmother's faultCAs I enjoyed the soft sunshine in the pool, my 8-year-old daughter swam up behind me.“Guess who, Mommy?" she said“No idea. Who is this mystery (神秘的) person?" I joked.The pair of us talked and laughed together for the rest of the afternoon.“Remember this,” I told myself. “You are happy, right here, right now.”Fast forward a few months, and my thoughts sounded different.“Just keep going,” I would think, or, “How many sleeps until the weekend?"I didn't like what I was like----someone sleepwalking (梦游) through the week, running on coffee and too tired at night to do anything but watch TV. I thought the Christmas break would recognize (使再次充满活力) me, making me ready to take on another year of early starts. But I had to listen to my heart.My patient husband and friends had listened to me going over the decision for six months, but the time for talking was over. It was time to make my choice: My daughter needed me and I needed her.When she was really young, I loved the freedom of going to work as the sun was rising, happy that my family was still sound asleep. Then later, my daughter would set her alarm (闹钟) so she could wake up early with me to chat in the dark together.The morning I planned to tell everyone I was quitting (放弃) my job, we sat together on the couch. I told her how nervous I was about sharing my news in a few hours' time. Stroking (抚摸) her hair, I asked my daughter what she thought about my decision. “We'll be so much happier, Mommy,” she said.Life is never simply a choice between job and family. Ask anyone, and family always comes first.Besides, I'm not disappearing--- there are plenty of projects to keep me fulfilled.Who knows what's ahead?Nobody knows what the future holds, but when it comes to my own, I can make sure it will be filled with long afternoons in the pool with my daughter.44.What's the writer's main propose in writing the first five paragraphs?A. To show how lovely her daughter is.B. To show she's happy when spending time with her daughter.C. To explain how important her daughter is in her life.D. To advise parents to play more with their children.45. What was the writer’s life like a few months ago? A. Her work took up much of her energy every day.B. She kept a balance (平衡) between family and job.C. She enjoyed the freedom of getting up early. D. She asked her daughter to wake up early every morning.46.Why did the writer want to quit her job?A. She dreamed of trying something new and exciting.B. She wanted to spend more time with her family.C. She was treated unfairly at work.D. Her husband and friends advised her to take a break.47. The best title of the article is________________.A. Daughter and I        B. Family always comes firstC.

Who would have thought that this simple meal would become a leading  character in a film, and even win an Oscar?    On February 24, 2019, the short film Baozi won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. In the film, a small baozi comes to life and becomes the "son" of a lonely Chinese woman in an immigrant(移民) family in Canada.Domee Shi, Pixar's first Chinese-Canadian woman director, got the idea from her own experience. When Shi grew up, she was busy working and spent little time with her mother.    Baozi tells the life of an empty-nest Chinese Canadian mother who feels lonely after her sonleaves home to go for his own life.    In the film, many details show the way the Chinese woman loves her "son". She prepares delicious food, cleans up the house carefully and always buys him snacks. These details are true to the strong and protective love of Chinese parents for their children.    Traditionally, Chinese parents don't say‘I 1ove you’to their kids. They express it with food or by fussing(小题大做)over them. "I didn't use dialogue in the film because I wanted it to be a story that spoke to everyone around the world." said Shi at an interview.    Moreover, this film can be a bridge to help parents and children better understand each other and learn how to express love.68. Who is Domee Shi?______________________________________________________________________________________69. Why does the director make the film?______________________________________________________________________________________70. Do you think it's necessary and important to say‘I love you’to your parents? Why or Why not?______________________________________________________________________________________八、书面表达(共1小题；满分10分)    上周五，你们班就“过去和现在”生活各方面的变化进行了一次热烈的讨论。请根据讨论内容，以Past and present为题写一篇短文.要求:1、必须包括表格中所有的相关信息，并适当发挥。2、词数:90词左右。3、短文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 阅读旅游过去空闲时间看电视，在图书馆和书店阅读。骑车或坐公交车出行，乘飞机旅游的人不多。现在大部分家庭使用电脑，在网上阅读报纸、杂志。乘飞机旅游，带护照周游世界。优点或建议……享受自然之美，更快、更好地了解世界Past and presentLast Friday, we had a discussion about life's changes in the past and at present.
