Wang Jianggang, 60 now, was born and raised in Beijing. He said he has everything a man could want—a flat, a car, a successful business, and a happy family. However, Wang decided to plant trees in the Gobi Desert (沙漠). Now, he has lived in the desert in Inner Mongolia for about 8 years.
In June 2015, Wang went to Ejina of Inner Mongolia with some partners. On the day they arrived, they got caught in a sandstorm. The sky got dark and was filled with sand. They had to hide in the cars, waiting for the sandstorm to stop. When the sandstorm finally stopped, he found there was nothing in the desert—no road, no grass.
Wang and his team started digging and planting trees in the same year. For years, they couldn’t put up tents because of the heavy sandstorms, they had to drive about 200 kilometers to buy machine parts when their machines broke down, and they didn’t even have enough water. But Wang didn’t back down.
So far, Wang’s team of about 100 workers has planted 20,666 hectares of trees in the desert. The first group of trees has grown to 2 meters of high, and one tree can fix 10 square meters of sand.
“I’ve always wanted to achieve something big. That’s why I decided to create a forest in the desert,” Wang said. “Human life is short, but trees can live for up to thousands of years. They will have a great influence on our children and our children’s children.”
33. When Wang arrived in the desert for the first time, what happened to him?
A. His car broke down. B. He met a sandstorm.
C. He and his team got lost. D. His partners left him alone.
34. What does “back down” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Fall behind. B. Push in. C. Stay out. D. Give up.
35. Paragraph 5 mainly talks about Wang’s team’s ________.
A. worries B. members C. achievements D. action
36. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. An excellent scientist B. The life in Desert
C. A group of brave tourists D. A Forest in Desert
D
What comes to your mind when you read the word “robot”? Many people think about big and modern machines in car factories or films. Few of us think about the past. But people were building unbelievable machines with human abilities hundreds of years ago!
Philo of Byzantium, an ancient Greek (希腊) inventor, built a robot thousands of years ago. If someone placed a cup in the robot’s hand, it mixed water and wine to make a drink. But it wasn’t popular because people didn’t need robots to work at that time.
Another ancient robot was a robotic arm called “The Claw” Polybius, the Greek writer, wrote about it in 213 BC. It was built during a war with the Romans and hung over the city wall towards the sea. When a Roman ship came close, the arm picked up the front of it and lifted the ship into the air. Then the ship fell backward into the sea and sank. Again, we don’t know whether the machine was built, but it was possible with Ancient Greek technology.
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous artist, loved designing robots. Few of his designs were built, but his plans were very detailed (详细的). Mark Rosheim, a modern-day robot engineer, still learns from those ideas when he works! One of da Vinci’s robots was a lion. He built it in 1515. It could walk and present flowers! In 2009, engineers used the plans to rebuild the robot lion. It worked perfectly.
As time went by, more and more robots were built, and they could do more difficult tasks, such as playing the flute, writing, and drawing a picture. Although modern technology has moved on, these historical robots still amaze people today.
37. What can we learn about Philo?
A. He invented a nice drink. B. He was quite wealthy at that time.
C. He was a German inventor. D. He was born thousands of years ago.
38. According to paragraph 3, what may “The Claw” look like?
A. B.
C. D.
39. Which of the following best describes Leonardo da Vinci?
A. Patient. B. Helpful. C. Creative. D. Modest.
40. The author writes the passage to ________.
A. encourage more people to buy robots B. make up a few interesting ancient stories
C. show some amazing robots from ancient times D. compare the ancient robots with the modern ones

Dear Billy,
The World Environment Day is coming. Our school is planning to carry out environmental protection activities.
All the students and teachers in our school will take part in the activities on the afternoon of June 5th. There will be different kinds of activities. For example, we can try to make new things out of the old ones and learn to put garbage into different garbage bins. There will also be a speech about how to live a green life. After the speech, we will turn off the lights in our classrooms and walk to the park near our school to pick up the garbage.
I think all of us will be happy and learn a lot on that day. I am looking forward to the day.
