In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo traveled a long and difficult way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the greatest things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In Western countries, people didn't use paper money until the 17th century. However, people in China used paper money in the 11th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

Now paper usually comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use handkerchiefs instead of paper. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give you a paper bag, you can save it and reuse it later.

59. The traveler Marco Polo was from ____.

A. Italy   B. England 

C. America   D. Canada

60. People in Western countries began to use paper money ____.

A. in the 13th century   B. in the 11th century

C. 2, 000 years ago   D. in the 17th century

61. The underlined word“it”in the last sentence refers to ____.

A. paper   B. a paper packet

C. paper money   D. a paper bag

62. How many measures (措施) are mentioned (提到) to save paper according to the passage?

A. Two.  B. Four.  C. Six.  D. Eight.

C

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work. ” But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.

A CCTV program reported that the food the Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Absolutely not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were about 811 million hungry people around the world in 2020, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

The Chinese people are well­known for being friendly and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. What should we do in our daily life to waste less food?

1. Don't order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you have ordered, take the rest of it home.

2. Don't leave any food in your bowls while having meals.

3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially vegetables and fruit.

63. What's the real meaning of the underlined sentence?

A. 春种一粒粟, 秋收万颗子。

B. 谁知盘中餐, 粒粒皆辛苦。

C. 吏禄三百石, 岁晏有余粮。

D. 足蒸暑土气, 背灼炎天光。

64. According to the UN report, how many hungry people were there in 2020?

C. 200 million children die of hunger every year.

D. Many Chinese feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

D (荣德原创)

There are many kinds of pollution around us, including air pollution, water pollution, land pollution and light pollution. Among them, land pollution, air pollution and water pollution are three main forms of pollution.

Land pollution is caused by solid waste such as cans, bottles and plastic things. They can't be broken down quickly. They make the environment look very bad.

However, air pollution is more serious than land pollution. In some places, polluted air from factories spreads over cities and villages. It makes people ill and may even kill them. Air pollution is a danger to our health. And there are so many cars on roads. They use so much oil and cause pollution as well.

With the development of industry, water pollution is becoming more serious now. Polluted water not only kills fish, but is also harmful to our health. Many people get sick because they drink polluted water. In some rivers, the water is so dirty that it can even kill plants and crops.

Pollution is our great enemy, and we have to fight it. There are many ways to control pollution. We are trying hard to make full use of energy from the sun and wind. We have paid plenty of money to make electric cars and trains instead of traditional traffic. We should also take action to make our environment cleaner every day. Take cloth bags while going shopping and drive cars less.

We have only one earth. We must protect it for the future.

67. What does the underlined phrase “broken down” mean?

A. 抛锚   B. 拆解   C. 分解   D. 弄坏

68. Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?

A. Land pollution, air pollution and water pollution are three main forms of pollution.

B. Land pollution is less serious than air pollution.

C. Polluted water makes no difference to plants and crops.

D. Land pollution is caused by solid waste such as cans, bottles and plastic things.

69. Which paragraph tells us how to fight against pollution?

A. Paragraph 1.  B. Paragraph 2.

C. Paragraph 5.  D. Paragraph 6.

E

All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals cannot make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.

A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.

Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.

A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.

Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtails also come out only at night. Ringtails hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both kangaroo rats and ringtails.

Nothing is wasted in a food web. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt or kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vulture. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.

70. Why do ringtails come out only at night?

A. Because they are afraid of coyotes.

B. Because they are shy animals.

C. Because it is very hot in the daytime.

D. Because they can eat kangaroo rats.

71. What kind of animal can be placed in the empty box of the picture?

A. Kangaroos. 　 B. Vultures. 　 C. Cats. 　  D. Zebras.

72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Lions eat different kinds of animals.

B. Plants are on the top of the food chain.

C. Scavengers can keep the environment clean.

D. Some animals get water from the plants they eat.

F

Some countries are better than others at protecting the environment. In Europe, Germany and northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment. People in Germany put their rubbish into different bags—paper in one bag, plastic in another bag, etc. The rubbish is then taken away and, if possible, recycled. There are laws that do not allow people to burn too much coal.

In the 20th century, as people learned more about environmental problems, the Green Movement (运动) began and soon spread all over Europe. The Green Movement tries to get governments to protect the environment. It collects information about how industry is damaging (毁坏)the environment and tells it to newspapers.

三、    M：My name is Adam. I am a middle school student. I know pollution has become a serious problem all over the world. And I know everyone should do something about it. With our teachers' help, my classmates and I set up a club. Its name is“Simple Life”. From now on, I go to school on foot every day instead of taking my father's car. I always remember to turn off the lights, the TV and the fans when I leave the classroom. When I do not use water, I always turn off the tap. I often reuse water. For example, when I finish washing my clothes, I use the water to clean the floor. I never use plastic bags. I think saving paper is necessary, so I often use both sides of paper and make full use of it. And I do many other simple things! I think they're very friendly to our environment. It's important for us to live a simple life to protect the environment.

四、　　Attention, everyone. Tomorrow morning our class will hold an environmental protection activity in the park near our school. When we arrive there, we will be divided into three groups. The first group will collect the rubbish, such as the waste paper, bags, bottles and so on. The second group should set up several notice boards to remind the visitors to take care of the flowers and trees. The last group will give a speech to the visitors on the danger of “white pollution”. We all agree it is very important for us to protect the environment. So action should be taken to control and reduce pollution and call on everyone to play his part and make a difference.

Hello, everyone. We share a common home—Hefei. We should help build a green city so that we can live a healthy life. Let's work hard for it together.

To have a good environment, I'm going to ride a bicycle to school and ask people around me to drive their cars less to reduce air pollution. Then I will plant more trees with my friends and recycle waste to help protect the natural environment. Moreover, I should use cloth bags for shopping, not plastic bags. What's more, I can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when I brush my teeth. Remember that everyone can do something to make a difference!
