If you were to look in your wallet right now, you might be lucky enough to find some money. Even though credit and debit cards are more popular than ever, most people still carry around a few bills with them. Paper money is something we are all familiar with, but is it really made out of paper?
Regular paper is made out of wood cellulose (纤维素)，which is a product that comes from trees. Paper-makers mix chemicals with the wood to break it down into cellulose fibers (纤维)•
Machines then press these fibers together and roll them into thin sheets to create the material we call paper. When paper gets wet, the cellulose fibers become very weak. This can cause most paper to completely fall apart when it is wet.
Paper money is not made out of this material. Think about the last time you found a dollar in the pocket of pants that went through the washing machine. The dollar was probably a bit wrinkled (皱的)，but it did not completely fall apart because of getting wet.
Money is not made from the same paper that you write on. It is made out of something called “rag paper”. Rag paper is a mixture of 75% cotton and25% linen (亚麻布).Cotton and linen fibers do not become weak when they get wet. They are much stronger than cellulose fibers. Unlike regular paper, money can be folded many times without causing serious damage to the bill. According to a U.S. Government blog，“it takes about 4.000 double folds (first forward and then backwards) before a paper bill will tear.” The material that money is made out of is much stronger and much more durable than regular paper.
34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is most likely to ____________.
A. remind readers to be more careful with their money
B. explain the correct way to fold money
C. describe what happens when money gets wet
D. show how much stronger paper money is than regular paper
35. The underlined word “durable” is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. colorful     B.    long-lasting C. expensive    D. traditional
36. We can learn ____________ from the passage.
A. the history of paper money     B. the material of paper    money
C. the meaning of paper money     D. the process of making paper money

Jenna looked out of the window and said, “It’s still raining! Now my day with Nikki is not going to be fun. It’s so boring.”
Jenna’s cousin Nikki was coming over for the day. They had planned a picnic at the park. Rain drummed harder on the roof. “And it’s noisy!” Jenna shouted.
Grandma came into the living room. “Did I hear you describe the rain as boring and noisy?” she asked. “Sounds like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed.”
“I did not,’’ Jenna said. “I got up the same way I always do.”
“You know what I mean.” Grandma said.
“Look,” Nikki came in and said. “I’ve been so patient. I’ve been waiting for months to wear these boots (靴子)！The yellow ducks look just like bath toys. Let’s go walking in the rain!”

“We can get the picnic blanket and put it on the floor. Then we can make a picnic lunch. We can eat it inside. We won’t get wet，and there won’t be any bugs!” Nikki said.
“That sounds like to,” Jenna agreed. “We can walk around outside first. Then we’ll make lunch. Can we make cookies too, Grandma?” she asked.
Grandma said, “Yes!”

You may have heard of the Red Cross, an international organization which cares for the people in need. In the United States, if it were not for the passion (热情) of a young woman named Clara Barton, the American Red Cross may have never been formed! Clara passed away on April 12, 1912.
She was born on December 25, 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts. When Clara was young, she was so shy that she was unable to make friends. Her parents sent her to a boarding school, hoping it would make her more comfortable with her classmates. Unluckily, it had the opposite effect. After only one term, she had to be brought home. One day when she was 11 years old, her elder brother was badly injured. Clara took care of him the whole time during his illness. Through this experience she learned something valuable and how to look after patients. She found out that she came alive when she cared for others.
Soon, Clara began taking care of injured animals. Neighbors began bringing their pets to her. And, almost always, she made them better. When she was older, she became a nurse in the American Civil War and helped save hundreds of soldiers.
After the Civil War, Clara traveled to Europe to rest. But that did not last long. Soon she was caring for soldiers in battle once again! But this time, she learned about an organization called the
Red Cross who worked alongside her on the battlefield. It aimed to help those who needed medical care most.
She thought the Red Cross was badly needed in America. Over several years, she asked four different presidents to bring it to America. They all said no. But then，thanks to her persistence (坚持)，one of the presidents finally changed his mind! And from then on，the American Red Cross was born.
40. The American Red Cross is an organization ____________.
A. found by Clara Barton     B. set    up    to    raise    money
C. famous in western countries     D.    found during American Civil War
41. What is the right order of the following events?
①Clara worked together with the Red Cross in the battle in Europe.
② Clara took good care of her elder brother and found her own value.
③ Clara cared for the injured animals and made them recovered.
④ Clara asked for presidents’ permission to bring Red Cross to America.
A.①②③④    B.②③①④    C. ②①④③.     D. ①③②④
42. What does underlined “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. becoming a nurse     B.    American    Civil    War
C. resting in Europe     D.    traveling    to    Europe
43. Which of following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Clara died when she was 89 years old.
B.  Clara got along well with her classmates in the boarding school.

四、任务型阅读（本题有4小题，每小题1分，满分4分）
仔细阅读短文，请根据文中信息完成下面表格。每空限填一词。
As we all know，swimming is an all-body workout. It works small muscle (肌肉）groups that often get ignored in other workouts. As you move in the water, many small muscle groups are working to help you keep balance.
Meanwhile, swimming also has some downsides though. It is not a perfect sport without any risk of injury. For example, many types of swimming use repetitive arm movements. Over time, the repeated movements can cause shoulder and neck injuries.
However，when compared to the health benefits (益处)，those downsides seem manageable to the swimming lovers. Coach Wass agrees, “You know, swimming can have some injuries from high repetition. But, in general，it’s one of the safest and healthiest sports out there.”
Besides the great workout you can get from swimming, a woman called Paloma brings up another important benefit. It can help to keep you alive. She said，“My husband and I believe that swimming is a life skill. If it’s a life and death situation，you can swim your way out of it. That’s why I taught my daughter to learn swimming and wants her to do well in swimming.”
Paloma's daughter, Pryia knows that swimming is good for her body. But the reason she likes to swim is more basic. It’s just fun.

七、书面表达（15分）
Under the “double reduction” policy, our life has changed a lot this term.
In the past, we always had a lot of after-school classes. Therefore, we often stay up late doing our homework. Also, there is no time for our favorite things. What’s worse，we don’t have enough time to exercise under such stress. But now things have changed a lot. Firstly, we can finish homework at school, and it leaves us more time for the things we like. What’s more, we have enough time to do sports every day.
It really gives us a better study life both in school and at home.
