How green are you? Do you know how to be green?
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.
Reduce
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 whether 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
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 look after 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 of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though 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.
So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
小题1:What is the passage about?
A.How to produce things.B.How to burn things.
C.How to help others.D.How to be green.
小题2: Which of the following is right?
A.Don’t waste things.B.Always throw away old things.
C.Always buy new things.D.Buy too many things from abroad.
小题3:Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?
A.You can burn them.
B.You can use them again.
C.You can throw them away.
D.You can change them into something else.
小题4:To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.
A.waste, reuse and recycleB.repair, burn and recycle
C.reduce, reuse and recycleD.reduce, waste and recycle.
小题5: The passage may come from ______.
A.a menuB.a dictionaryC.a storybookD.a magazine

We always celebrated Dad’s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even after he entered a nursing home. When we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home.
Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. During a quiet moment, I announced it was now Dad’s turn to listen to stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved about him. The room became quiet. Then one after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes.
Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn’t wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was our chance to tell him how much we love him. A few months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we more fully realized what we had given to Dad that night. Those are the stories people normally tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life, and we had told them through laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and months.
Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly the ones we love. That’s the ways to give back love and that’s our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life. 
小题1:The writer’s family decided to have a huge birthday celebration because______.
A.Dad was to leave the hospital

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)(12分)
The book that can’t wait
One problem a lot of people have with books is that they buy them and then never start reading them.
To  【1】, a foreign publisher called Eterna Cadencia came up with a very clever idea: it printed the words of the books in disappearing ink: the text of the book vanishes(消失) two months after the special package of the book is opened, so that encouraging buyers to start reading it 【2】 it goes away. They call this “the book that can’t wait.”
According to a video presented with the story, the book was  【3】 . The publisher sold out the whole first edition(版) at a bookstore the day it was printed, and received “thousands of requests” for more copies of the book. It also got a lot of news reports. As a result, the publisher is planning to publish   【4】 kinds of books in disappearing ink.
In some ways, the idea is pretty clever.【5】, we still have some suggestions:
First, the book should start the vanishing process after the reader first opens the book. If the vanishing ink books become very popular in the future, readers will need to read them one at a time. They don’t want their books to vanish before they read the first page.
Second, the vanished book should find a 【6】  use. Maybe they can be recycled, or maybe we can use them as notebooks. It would be a more environmentally friendly way to do this.
小题1:
A.answer the questionB.take the place of books
C.solvethis problemD.be fond of the books
小题2:
A.beforeB.afterC.whenD.until
小题3:
A.a terrible dreamB.a big problem
C.a large amusementD.a great success
小题4:
A.the sameB.otherC.expensiveD.successful

阅读下列短文,根据短文信息完成文后表格,每空一词。
Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应),the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Did you know that 11,000 people die every day from smoking? Did you know that people die every day from breathing smoke        other people’s cigarettes?
Tobacco smoke has 43 ingredients that may        cancer. If smokers had learned these
      when they were young, they probably would never have started smoking.
Most smokers try        first cigarette when they are teenagers. Often, they start smoking because they think that it makes them look more        . Sometimes they start smoking because their friends tell them that it’s cool. If teenagers are told that half of them will die before the age of 65 from smoking cigarettes, how can they still think it’s cool to smoke?
One of the biggest problems is cigarette advertisements. Tobacco companies        tell the truth to teenagers about cigarettes. After watching the advertisements on TV or looking at the posters in which people ride horses or play in a rock band, young people often think that smoking      be cool.
Sadly, cigarettes are very difficult to        once a person has started smoking. Most teenagers start smoking         they are influenced by friends or cigarettes advertisements. And often, the teenagers regret the decision to start smoking later in life.
Teenagers need to know        bad cigarettes are for their health. If they are told that cigarettes kill more people than guns do, they probably will never start smoking.

I'm the type of guy who believes you can achieve anything you set your mind to, if you give it your all and don't give up.       , when I decided to write a novel, it didn't matter to me that I had never done anything like that before.

What I thought would take a couple of months or a couple of years. After five months of writing, I at last       the "finish line" - that magical day when you type "THE END".
