    Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree－he wants to save a whole rainforest!

    In the Redwood City, Calif., a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.

    Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging（伐木）and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.

    Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.

    Evan says everyone can help the planet－even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.

    48. How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?

    A. About $4,500.       B. About $850.      C. About $280.      D. About $1,000.

    49. The underlined phrase “chip in” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

    A. look at                                     B. contribute money

    C. ask for birthday presents                D. donate gifts

    50. What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.

    A. we can all do something to protect the earth

    B. actions speak louder than words

    C. we should learn to recycle from now on

    51. What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Evan Green-a famous teenager    B. The Red Dragon Conservation Team

    C. Rainforests are being destroyed    D. Boy gathers support for rainforests 

    48---51   CBAD

      The bowler family spent three months in a London home without a telephone, computers, TV, or fast food.

    I am a psychologist. I first met Timothy, a quiet, overweight eleven-year-old boy, when his mother brought him to me to discuss his declining grades. A few minutes with Timothy were enough to confirm that his self-esteem(自尊) and general happiness were falling right along with them. I asked about Timothy’s typical day. He awoke every morning at six thirty so he could reach his school by eight and arrived home around four thirty each afternoon. He then had a quick snack, followed by either a piano lesson or a lesson with his math tutor. He finished dinner at 7 pm, and then he sat down to do homework for two to three hours. Quickly doing the math in my head, I found that Timothy spent an average of thirteen hours a day at a writing desk.

    What if Timothy spent thirteen hours a day at a sewing machine instead of a desk? We would immediately be shocked, because that would be called children being horribly mistreated. Timothy was far from being mistreated, but the mountain of homework he faced daily resulted in a similar consequence —he was being robbed of his childhood. In fact, Timothy had no time to do anything he truly enjoyed, such as playing video games, watching movies, or playing board games with his friends.

    Play, however, is a crucial part of healthy child development. It affects children’s creativity, their social skills, and even their brain development. The absence of play, physical exercise, and free­from social interaction takes a serious toll on many children. It can also cause significant health problems like childhood obesity, sleep problems and depression.

    Experts in the field recommend the minutes children spend on their homework should be no more than ten times the number of their grade level. As a fifth­grader, Timothy should have no more than fifty minutes a day of homework (instead of three times that amount). Having an extra two hours an evening to play, relax, or see a friend would soundly benefit any child’s life quality.

    1.What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph probably refer to?

    A. Timothy’s parents.                                                        B. Timothy’s grades.

    C. Psychologists.                                                              D. The students.

    2.What did the writer think of Timothy after learning about his typical day?

    A. Timothy was very hard­working.

    B. Timothy was being mistreated.

    C. Timothy had a heavy burden.

    D. Timothy was enjoying his childhood.

    3.Which of the following statements best describes the writer’s opinion?

    A. Children should be allowed enough time to play.

    B. Playing board games works better than playing video games.

    C. The more they play, the more creative children will become.

    D. The depression caused by homework makes children unwilling to play.

    4.According to the passage, how long should a third­grader spend a day doing homework?

    A. About ten minutes.

    B. No more than twenty minutes.

    C. No more than thirty minutes.

    D. About fifty minutes.

    Today, traditional opinions about men still exist. A man has to be strong, brave, sports loving and manly. Anything less would not be considered manly. Sports such as football, basketball and boxing all tend (往往是) to be men’s sports. However, the dance of ballet is considered feminine because it requires nice movements. This tradition is shown in the movie, Billy Elliot.

    Billy Elliot is a movie that protests against this traditional view of men. Billy Elliot is an eleven-year-old boy that has a natural talent for ballet dancing, but his father will not allow it. Billy’s father wants him to take up boxing and become stronger, but Billy goes against his father’s wishes and takes up ballet dancing. This difference of opinion makes Billy sad. What’s more, his friends also laugh at him.

    After saving enough money, his father sends Billy to a weekly boxing course; however, Billy doesn’t enjoy boxing because he always loses in matches and is often hurt. His ballet teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson thinks that men or women should not be judged by the activities they like to do, so she tells Billy’s father that although he wants his son to make a good living, he should let his son do what he loves to do because he has a talent for it. When his father finally realizes the truth, Billy is surprised. In the end, with the help of his father, brother and all the people around him, Billy goes to the Royal Ballet Academy in London and becomes a very successful ballet dancer.

    1.The underlined word “feminine” in the first paragraph most probably means ______

    A．of men

    B．of children

    C．of women

    D．of students

    2.Why is Billy laughed at by other children?

    A．He always loses in boxing matches.

    B．He isn’t strong.

    C．He looks like a girl.

    D．He loves ballet.

    3.What do we know about Billy?

    A．His teacher encourages him to take up ballet dancing.

    B．He does well in ballet dancing and boxing.

    C．He does what his father wants him to do.

    D．He has never taken up any men’s sports.

    4.From Billy’s story, we can see that _______.

    A．children should accept their parents’ opinions

    B．we should try to fight against traditional opinions

    C．men and women play different sports

    D．parents should let their children do what they are interested in
