My experience as a volunteer was really exciting and useful. That afternoon we arrived at La Gran Vista Farm. Donald, the man who was in charge of the farm, Xenia, his wife, Terry, Max, and Larry, their 3 sons, were very friendly to us as soon as we got there. They told us what we were going to do, and we had a delicious meal with them. Within minutes I found that La Gran Vista Farm was a special place. The farmhouse was a beautiful hand-made building. It could hold about 20 volunteers.
The land was very beautiful. For the first week we worked on the farm. In the morning, Donald would divide us into 7 groups. We did the things from planting trees, cleaning the road, to taking out the rubbish. A workday was as follows: 6:30 get up, 7:00 breakfast, 8:00-11:30 work, 12:00 lunch, 13:00-15:00 work, 17:00 dinner.
Donald would come around from group to group and explain what we were doing and why. He wanted to set up a farm that was not bad for the environment. The program made me understand the importance of protecting the environment. And it took me to a new culture. I will never forget my volunteering experience on the La Gran Vista Farm. It taught me a lot.

【题目】Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking is worth reading, especially for those who love science, space, physics, and the universe (宇宙). About half of Hawking’s text is rather hard to understand, which must be the reason why he added pictures to newer editions. Some of the “abstract (抽象)” things are hard to imagine, so the pictures help you understand.

This book is based on theoretical physics (理论物理). Most people read the cover and think that it will be way over their heads, but it’s not. There are two ways to read it. You can read the chapter overviews, which are basic and you’ll still learn a lot, but it won’t be too difficult. Or, you can read the full details (细节) in each chapter, which is how you’ll learn the most.

This book makes references (参考) to other physicists, history, and current social and economic issues (问题), and explains how each of us is involved in the universe. Dr. Hawking also openly says “I think” about things. He gives his view on matters and shows the facts to help you see what you think the answer is, so it seems as if (好像) he was talking directly to you.

The reason why I love this book more than any other physics “text” is because Dr. Hawking wrote it like a novel. He’s telling a story, the story of the universe, and it’s just fun to read!

I always want to know how and why something is, and in this book Dr. Hawking always answers this question as best he can. If he can’t give you a definite answer, he’ll tell you what he thinks and help you develop your own opinion. I truly hope that you will read this unusual book.

1Stephen Hawking added pictures to A Brief History of Time to ________.

A.make it more attractive to readersB.make it easy to understand

C.help you to develop your imaginationD.show you more about the universe

2The underlined phrase “over their heads” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A.higher than their headsB.rather difficult for them to understand

C.very easy for them to readD.too high for them to reach

3If you ________, you’ll learn the most about the book.

A.read the full details in each chapterB.read the chapter overviews

C.draw pictures according to the bookD.read the cover of the book

4What makes you feel as if Dr Hawking was talking directly to you? ________

A.He tells me what he thinks and helps me develop my own opinion.

B.He openly says “I think” about things.

C.He always answers how and why something is as best he can.

D.He gives his view on matters and shows the facts to help me see what I think the answer is.

5According to the writer, A Brief History of Time is ________.

A.expensiveB.boringC.interestingD.confusing

6We can get the idea from this passage that ________.

A.Hawking doesn’t answer all the questions about the universe

B.the book can’t make references to other physicists

C.the book doesn’t deal with the economy but science

D.Hawking can talk to everyone face to face

【题目】Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)

There are stock (股票) markets in large cities. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are the largest and most well-known.

【题目】根据短文理解,完成表格填空。
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
