During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cal Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made ii from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Newspaper still 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. Every day, people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48, 000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are taking notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the stop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now before it is too late. （   ）44. So far, the Chinese people have been using paper money for ________.A. more than 1,000 years  B. more than 1,300 yearsC. two thousand years  D. five thousand years（   ）45. Cai Lun began to make ________ nearly two thousand years ago. A. paper  B. paper money  C. cloth  D. cars（   ）46. The writer calls on（号召）us to ________.A. eat less  B. grow more trees  C. begin to use less paper  D. Band C（   ）47. The writer tells us to ________ while we are making notes. A. use both sides of the paper  B. write in small lettersC. be careful with our handwriting D. listen to the teacher carefullyBNumber Memory（记忆.）GameIf you like fun learning activities, why not try this number memory game?Choose your level, find the number pairs you saw before and enjoy the challenge of this game for kids.Sequence（顺序）Memory GameSee some things and their sequence.

Robocop’s first official duty was to greet guests at the opening of a security conference in Dubai. Apart from greeting visitors, its job was to answer questions and give directions. RoboCop has a built-in tablet for people to interact with. People can use the tablet lo pay traffic fines and use other smart police services. The tablet is linked to a police station, so people can talk to human police officers. In addition, RoboCop can speak six languages, including English and Arabic. The 170-centimetre-tall robot can also shake hands, salute people and recognize people’s emotions and facial expressions.Dubai Police says RoboCop is the first of many robot police officers for the city. A spokesman said that by 2030, 25 percent of the Dubai Police force will be robots. He said: “We are looking to make everything smart in Dubai Police. By 2030, we will have the first smart police station which won’t require human employees.” “The RoboCop is the latest smart addition to the police force and has been designed to help us fight crime, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels.” He added.

When you’re traveling to the railway station you look at your watch, afraid you will miss your train. But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction（建设）on the express railway between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus. “There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint（检查）and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer. There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decrease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers. The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run alongside the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official. According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project（三峡工程）.（   ）56.

EIn one of the most disaster-prone regions（灾害频发地区）on the planet, the Philippines has planned a new city to withstand（承受）natural disasters. The Philippines has begun building a high-tech environmentally-friendly “smart city”. There will be drones（无人驾驶飞机）and self-driving cars in the city. The large city, which lies in the north of Manila, is called New Clark City. With plans to cover 9, 450 hectares, it will be bigger than Manhattan and as many as 1.2 million people can live in it. As well as being able to withstand typhoons, flooding and earthquakes, the city won’t have pollution. Vivencio Dizon, president of government owned and controlled Bases Conversion and Development Authority, says one important thing is to make little traffic pollution. “When we build this city, we are building for people, but not for cars. It’s a big difference.” Dizon tells CNN.He says the city will use greener energy sources, such as solar power, natural gas and waste-to-energy facilities. The buildings will use little energy. They will use lahar, a special locally sourced building material. Dizon says lahar will be the “main fabric（主要结构）” of the buildings in the city. Matthijs Bouw, a Dutch architect, says the production of concrete（混凝土制造）can take a lot of energy and water and it can make a lot of pollution as well. He also says that in order to make sure the pollution levels in New Clark City will be “different and much lower’’ compared with other Asian cities, the city’s green planning still has a long way to go. （   ）60. Which is NOT true about New Clark City?A. It will be bigger than Manila. B. About 1, 200, 000 people can live in it. C. It is not harmful to the environment. D. It can withstand some natural disasters. （   ）61. What do the underlined words “a big difference” refer to? A. The Philippines builds the city for cars. B. The Philippines builds the city for disasters. C. The Philippines builds the city for people. D. The Philippines builds the city for the government. （   ）62. What does Matthijs Bouw mainly want to tell us? A. The city’s green planning is not hard to achieve. B. The production of concrete pollutes the Earth. C. It’s hard to achieve the green planning in New Clark City. D. Other Asian cities have much pollution. （   ）63. What CANNOT we know from the passage? A. How big New Clark City is. B. How much the Philippines will spend building New Clark City.C. What kind of energy New Clark City will use. D. Why the Philippines has planned to build New Clark City.
