When I’m in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I’ll forget all the unhappy things. I’ve developed a habit of reading in this way.
When I was a little boy, I was interested in comic books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays (散文) and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little, I took a great interest in literature (文学) and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest (作文比赛) among middle school students in our city.
Reading The Emperor’s New Clothes makes me laugh a lot over the emperor’s silly action. The Little Match Girl makes me feel sad. Robinson Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply moved (被感动) by Helen Keller’s spirit of being strong and never giving up. Besides these, books also tell me other things — how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between the right and the wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I don’t know before. So I think good books are just like my best friends.
54. What was the writer interested in when he was a little boy?
A. Plays. B. Essays. C. Novels. D. Comic books.

In the village of Liuke in China, houses are built with dark bricks and red windows. They stand quietly among tall and green trees.
Many tourists have come to Liuke village to enjoy its natural beauty and rich culture. “This is just beautiful,” says Zhao Mingzhuo, a tourist from east China's Zhejiang Province. “The kids get to enjoy the fields(田野) here, the old enjoy the quiet environment, and the young people can go camping. It's quite a good experience here.”
“Liuke is one of the ancient villages that lie beside the Wanquan River in Hainan. The Wanquan River is 163 kilometers long and flows through an area of more than 3,600 square kilometers. A classic Chinese folk song sings in praise(赞扬) of the clear water of the river. And in recent years the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan, thanks to its rich stories and history.
In the old days, when villagers needed to travel to other villages, they had to pass by this village. Gradually, the village became astopover(中转站) for tourists, so it got its name, Liuke.
In recent years, the local government has worked hard to attract(吸引) tourists to the village. Many sightseeing programs have been set up. Now the village has not only attracted tourists, but also helped villagers stay. In this way, the village can develop more quickly.
58. Tourists can _________in Liuke village.
A. plant tall and green trees
B. enjoy the nature and rich culture
C. take a boat trip up the Wangquan River
D. see houses built with red bricks and black windows

① People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter(住处), and even the air we breathe.
② Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen(氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.
③ Plants are also part of the water cycle(水循环). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.
④ ★ Fruits, vegetables, and grains(谷物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.
⑤ When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help save more bags because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!
⑥ Trees are an important plant resource(资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and things we use at home. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.
62. What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in?
A. It goes back into the air. B. It stays in the plant.
C. It goes into the ground. D. It stays in the river.

65. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
B. 请先阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中使短文意思通顺结构完整。一空一句。（每小题2分）
We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter (录取通知书) from Peking University. 66 She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.
67 For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhui said in an interview, “As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 68 ” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed(尴尬的). He refused to accept donation(捐赠) money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have.
Such personalities (品格) are necessary for our growth. 69 Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes (态度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic. For them, few can choose their lifestyles. 70
That’s why they are highly praised(赞扬). Every one of us should learn from them.
A. Life is full of ups and downs.
B. A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C. “Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.
D. And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E. Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F. However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.
G. We can get stronger and more outgoing by doing part-time jobs.

As my brother and I are growing up, our house is becoming more and more 76 (crowd).
Yesterday my mother asked us to clear out our old things from our house and give 77 (they) away to people in need. Actually, 78 (part) with my old things is difficult. When I was collecting the old clothes from my bedroom, one of the scarf caught my eyes. Although I haven't used it for many years, I can still remember those sweet 79 (memory) behind it. My mother bought it for me as my birthday gift. 80 (unlucky), it was broken when I was playing with my friends outside. I was afraid to tell my mother. After I 81 (get) home, my grandmother noticed my sad 82 (feel). She told me to wait for a while.
Then she took out a needle(针) and a cloth from her room. My grandmother made a red flower on my scarf. Soon my scarf became 83 (nice) than before.
To be honest, I have owned many hand-made clothes and toys by my grandmother. I will choose one among them and keep it forever. For the rest of them, I decide 84 (give) them to children who are in need and pass down my 85 (grandmother) love to more kids.
