April 22 is Earth Day. The theme of this year is “Green Cities”.
A green city is a healthy and pleasant place for people to live, according to the United Nations.
A green city can get its energy from renewable (可再生的) sources like solar (太阳能的) and wind power. Also, it is connected by clean public transportation. Moreover, a green city is made up of facilities (设施) that can save energy and reduce waste.
Around the world, many cities and countries have done well to build themselves in a green way.
Chicago is well known for its green roof (屋顶) program. These roofs are covered with plants. The plants get a great amount of rainwater. Later, the water evaporates (蒸发) to help make the air cool and clean. So far, there are about 360 green roofs in Chicago, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Curitiba, Brazil, has great transportation. It opened the world’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) system in 1974. BRT runs on special lanes. This makes sure that buses are on time even in traffic jams. With the help of BRT, the city has the lowest level of air pollution in Brazil. Today, many other countries have copied BRT, including China and Mexico.
Singapore is home to the first zero-energy building in Southeast Asia. Zero energy means a building is able to create more energy than it uses. Zero-energy buildings work with solar panels (板) mainly on roofs. These panels can make electricity which powers the buildings. By 2030, Singapore plans to build 80 percent of its buildings like this.

举一反三
An electromagnetic field(电磁场) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.
Roosegaarde says, "It"s like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(静电) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair."
His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital"s parks. Beijing"s skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.
"Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there"s not so much wind." says Roosegaarde. "We"ll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing"s dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, "This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. " However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.
小题1:The device works by_______.
| A．helping keep the particles out with more masks |
| B．pulling particles to the ground with an electromagnetic field |
| C．absorbing hair with a balloon with static |
| D．creating clean air and letting it out into the sky |
| A．To make smog. | B．To make the air clean |
| C．To make static electricity. | D．To make Beijing"s parks beautiful. |
| A．the device doesn"t work well indoors |
| B．the people with masks can breathe fresher air |
| C．Beijing government agreed to test the device |
| D．clean cars aren"t helpful to the environment in Beijing |
| A．pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally |
| B．invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing |
| C．drive modern cars and try different lifestyles |
| D．realize how serious the pollution they"re facing is |
Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother"s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy(***). Sunlight helps lead to the production of Vitamin D in the body. The lack of this in the first months of life may have a bad effect on mental and physical health.
Vitamin D, called the "sunshine vitamin", is known to help regulate（调节） thousands of genes during development, according to a study of more than two million people. So Vitamin D has a good effect on health This study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the USA showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.
Professor Russell Foster, an Oxford University neuroscientist on seasonal biology, said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, "These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth."
小题1:A baby"s season of birth doesn"t affect its_______.
| A．health | B．height | C．length of life | D．mind |
A. enough sleep B. enough sunlight
C. fresh air D. suitable seasons
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．People born in spring may not be in good health. |
| B．Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born under Libra. |
| C．Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them |
| D．People born in May will live longer than those born in October. |
A. People can know the length of life by star sign.
B. Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.
C A child"s season of birth has some effect on him or her.
D. Vitamin D is very important to people"s health.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn"t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake
A news story is not only correct , but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don"t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong .
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don"t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news .You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
小题1:The writer mentions main factors (因素) to make a news story really great.
| A．two | B．three | C．four | D．five. |
| A．Nanchang | B．Hong Kong. |
| C．Shanghai. | D．Beijing. |
| A．A small mistake can"t get a newspaper into trouble. |
| B．A lot of people like reading about news from last week. |
| C．The passage doesn"t tell us who was the first man to go into space. |
| D．People are mostly interested in news that happens far away from them. |
| A．why to be a good reporter. |
| B．where to find interesting news. |
| C．when to choose a good newspaper. |
| D．how to write a great news story |
One of the coolest things about the sport of running is that you don’t need expensive equipment(装备). All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But just because you don’t need much equipment don’t be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.
Running makes your heart, lungs, and muscles stronger. It makes you know more about your body. Running also gives you energy by increasing your oxygen(氧气) intake, so you don’t get sick easily. It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.
How do you take part in the sport if you don’t know much about it? Most schools offer cross-country and track programs, but there are also running clubs open to all ages. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set realistic goals and take care of their bodies.
Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you’ll see people cheering for all the runners, from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isn’t always about how fast you are or how far you’re going. It’s about getting out there and doing it. Taking part is more important than competition, and effort is recognized over gift.
If you’re looking for more than just a sport, running may be the perfect choice for you.
小题1:Which of the following is true?
| A．Running helps you win a marathon. |
| B．Running helps you improve your study. |
| C．Running helps you think more about yourself. |
| D．Running helps you set realistic goals in your life. |
| A．Having fun. | B．Receiving respect. |
| C．Trying their best. | D．Winning the competition. |
| A．Running and Runners |
| B．Running: Easy or Difficult |
| C．Running and Watching TV |
| D．Running: a Sport or a Way of Life |
Music education hasn’t changed much since the 1970s. Students are still taught to read notation(乐谱) so they can recite compositions that they would never listen to on their MP3 players or play with friends. Playing music enriches life. The question is: Why do schools teach music in a way that turns off so many young people rather than catch their imagination? Can we do a better job of using the power of music to get kids excited about school?
The experience of an organization called Little Kids Rock suggests the answer is yes — if we change the way music is taught. Little Kids Rock has helped music programs in over a thousand public schools and served 150,000 children. The organization has given 30,000 free instruments out, mainly guitars, and trained 1,500 teachers to run music classes in which students quickly experience the joys of playing their favorite songs, performing in bands(乐队), and writing their own music.
The key to Little Kids Rock is that it teaches children to play music the way many musicians learn to play it — not by notation, but by listening, imitation(模仿) and meaningful experimentation. “The knowledge you need to get started playing rock music is very limited,” explains Dave Wish, the founder of Little Kids Rock. “In high school, my friend Paul taught me a couple of chords(和弦) and my life was changed forever. On the first day of class, Little Kids Rock teachers place guitars in the hands of their students and get them practicing chords that will enable them to play thousands of songs. The kids decide what songs they want to learn and the class is off and running. Their progress is surprising. Within a year, eight and nine-year-olds are playing musical instruments, and giving concerts, even performing their own songs.
One of the biggest advantages that music offers is the ability to encourage students who are otherwise bored by school. “I’ve had students start coming back to school because of this program,” said Adkison Thomas, who heads up music for the Dallas Independent School District. He added, “One of the best things is that the teachers discover a new side of their students. They see kids become successful who weren’t before.”
小题1:The expression “turn off” in Paragraph 1 means “______”.
| A．make kids feel cool | B．make kids feel bored |
| C．make kids feel confident | D．make kids feel nervous |
| A．By writing music for kids. |
| B．By playing kids’ favorite songs. |
| C．By making instruments for school. |
| D．By training teachers for music classes. |
| A．it encourages kids to experience music |
| B．it helps kids learn from great musicians |
| C．it allows kids to decide how to learn music |
| D．it offers musical programs all over the country |
| A．Learning music is a good way to become successful. |
| B．Teaching in a proper way benefits students’ development. |
| C．It’s necessary for students to practice a lot in learning music. |
| D．It’s important for teachers to discover the new sides of students. |
