【题目】 A primary school in Wuhan has used new desks and chairs to prevent students from getting short sight. The desks and chairs make students have the correct posture, especially when reading and writing. Each desk has an adjustable steel bar. The bar can help students keep their eyes at least 30cm from books.

Zhang Jianming is headmaster of the primary school. She said the new desks and chairs were provided by an eye care centre in the city. The school carried out a survey last September. It showed that about 7 percent of its 1,093 students said they suffered from short sight.

The new desks and chairs have already improved the students’ posture, but both teachers and students might need more time to get used to them.

Yang Lihua is head of the Wuhan Youth Eye Care Center. She said the desks and chairs were introduced to 19 schools on a trial basis. “During our research into short sight, we noticed that the number of students with short sight was increasing. This is because parents are teaching their children to read and write at a very early age without paying enough attention to their posture,” she said.

Feng Junying is a doctor at Beijing Jingshan School. “I think the new desks and chairs in Wuhan will certainly be helpful,” she said. “But bad reading habits at school are not the only reason for short sight. Children are using mobile phones and iPads when they are very young. This can be another reason for short sight at a young age.”

【1】According to the passage, the adjustable steel bar can help the students keep their eyes ___________ from books.

A. 20cm B. 25cm C. 29cm D. 32cm

【2】The schools in Wuhan introduced the desks with bars to the primary school students in order to _______________.

A. make students grow tall

B. help students have the correct posture

C. help students love reading

D. not allow students to use mobile

【3】Feng Junying’s words mean ___________________________________.

A. the number of students with short sight is increasing

B. the students don’t get used to the new desks and chairs

C. bad reading habits are not the only reason of the students’ short sight

D. the new desks and chairs are useless for the students to improve their eye sight

【4】 From the passage, a good way to protect our eyesight is to___________________________.

A. buy an adjustable steel bar

B. go to the Youth Eye Care Centre often

C. have a correct posture when we are studying

D. read less and use mobile phones and iPads less

Dear Ms. J. K. Rowling,

It is great pleasure to write to you. I like reading all of your Harry Potter book. A few days before, I listened to a radio programme about you. Now I know that you teach English at home and in others countries before you started writing books. I also know that you could only write the first book while your baby daughter was asleep, so you worked on them for five years. That was a very much difficult job. Your son David and your daughter Jessica must be proud for you. I hope I can become as successfully as you when I grow up. Thank you for spending time read my letter.

Yours sincerely,

Michele

【题目】C

The creative projects of World Food Program (WFP) focused on preventing hunger from taking hold in the future and breaking the cycle of hunger. Here are some of the ways in which we work to prevent hunger in the future:

School Meals

As well as directly addressing hunger, School Meals projects encourage families to keep their children in school and help them build better futures. If children aren’t hungry they will concentrate on their lessons. With a solid education growing children have a better chance of finding their own way out of hunger. These projects benefit girls especially. For more information: www.wfp.org/schools meals.

Food for Assets（有用的人）

WFP’s Food for Assets projects provide the hungry with food to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. When poor farmers no longer have to worry about the next meal, they have the time and energy to build irrigation（灌溉） systems that can increase production. Similarly, Food for Training projects allow the poor to devote time to learning skills that will sustain（维持） them economically in the future. For more information: www.wfp.org/food-assets.

HIV/AIDS

WFP uses its food rations(配给) to reduce the blow of HIV and AIDS. The agency distributes its rations to people living with HIV and AIDS, so they can keep providing for their families for longer and have time to transfer vital knowledge and skills to the growing number of AIDS children--the next generation of food providers in developing countries. For more information: www.wfp.org/hiv-aids.

Purchase for Progress

WFP buys large amounts of food in developing countries. It has this purchasing power and uses it to help poor farmers contact reliable markets where they can get competitive prices for their produce. With secure markets, farmers will be encouraged to produce more and innovate(创新).The knock-on effect is producing more food for everyone. For more information: www.wfp.ofp/purchase-progress.

【1】The text is written with the purpose of ____.

A. seeking solutions to some hot issues

B. introducing some of WFP’s projects

C. raising money for the people in need

D. calling readers’ attention to the poor

【2】The farmers who want to receive some training should visit_____.

A.www.wfp.org/hiv-aids

B.www.wfp.org/food-asset

C.www.wfp.org/purchase-progress

D.www.wfp.org/school-meals

【3】AIDS children can benefit from food rations in that_____.

A. they no longer go hungry

B. they can take care of their parents

C. they don’t have to worry about food

D. they can learn more skills from their parents

【4】By buying large amounts of food in developing countries, WFP aims to ____.

A. help farmers to increase their income

B. encourage farmers to produce more food

C. introduce new ways of farming to farmers

D. motive farmers to plant different kind of crops.
