In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. 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 Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it 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. Now paper 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 give 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 then we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchief and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper, 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. 1.When he was in China , Marco polo ___________ . A．discovered CaiLun invented paper B．learned to make paper C．saw many wonderful things D．told people about it 2.About _______ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city. A．1700 B．2000 C．2800 D．48000 3.Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper ? A．To use both sides of every piece of paper B．To use the paper bags from shops more than once C．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones D．To grow more trees 4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE ? A．If we keep on wasting paper , we will have no paper to use B．The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the people in western countries C．About 48000 trees can be used to make 2800 tons of paper D．It is never too late to plant trees for paper . 5.Which is the best title (标题)of the passage ? A．Saving Paper B．The history of Paper C．Cotton Handkerchiefs Back Again D．CaiLun , the Great Inventor

My interest in Chinese food started many years ago, when I had my first job. I was a young reporter for the Daily Journal in San Francisco. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown. I usually managed to arrange my time so that I could go there at least two or three times a week for a good meal. When I ever ate Chinese food the first time, I loved it. And since then, it just tastes better and better to me. The first thing I noticed was the fresh tastes of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature. About 5000 years ago, China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor management of its forest. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to learn how to use it better. In order to use less wood in cooking, they started to cut their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this manner kept its fresh flavor(风味)—and it’s this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking. I often wonder if the Chinese appreciated their solution to that ancient energy problem as much as I do now –whenever I eat Chinese food. 1.This passage is mainly about _______________. A. why Chinese food tastes fresh B. what Chinese food tastes like C. how Chinese food is cooked D. who makes Chinese food special 2.The author got to know Chinese food __________. A. when he worked as a reporter in China B. from a news story in the Daily Journal C. after he got a taste of it in the Chinatown D. before he got his first job in San Francisco 3.The author thought the Chinese cut their meat and vegetables into small pieces in order to________. A. keeping its fresh flavor B. saving their hard-to-get wood C. producing a different kind of food D. attracting westerners to their food 4.The word “fuel” in the 4th paragraph most probably means ______ A. fresh flavor B. meat and vegetable C. hot oil D. firewood 5.According to the passage, the special freshness of Chinese food is the result of _______. A. the wood used to make the cooking fire B. the fast speed at which it is cooked C. the high quality of Chinese meat and vegetable D. the well-developed art of Chinese cooking

Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games. A recent survey found that in the US. Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or "gaming". Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well. One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving (解决) problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer. Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape. Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, they fail in the exams. Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28 - year - old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming! This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health. 1.Children of 8 to 12 in the US spend at least _________ hours a week playing video games. A．13 B．16 C．28 D．50 2.How many problems about playing video games are mentioned in the passage？ A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3.If game players spend lots of time playing games without doing their homework, they might __________. A．become ill B．lose their friends C．die at once D．get lower grades at school 4.What does the underlined word “addicted” mean in Chinese? A．悲伤 B．无聊 C．成瘾 D．沮丧 5.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage? A．Video gaming has quite a lot of advantages. B．Video gaming might be a dangerous thing. C．Childhood is a time of fun and games. D．Children should learn how to get along with others.
