The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Life today is easier than it was       years ago, but it has brought some new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution(污染). We can see it, smell it, drink it and even      it. Man has polluted the        . The more people, the more pollution.Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so      people. When the land was used up (用光), the river was not clean in a place,man went to      place. Now man is slowly polluting the whole world      pollution is still the most serious, it’s bad for      things in the world.Many countries don’t le t people burn      for air in houses and factories in the city. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of      pollution. It’s caused by heavy traffic. People say it’s      to ride bikes. When you are      , there is no pollution. But even in developed countries, most people don’t go to work by bike. It’s not     bikes are expen sive or people are tired if they ride to work. It’s because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger. So more people      their bikes and go to work by cars,  then things are getting      . We should have special roads only for bikes and make it      difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bikes.

试题分析:短文大意:现在的生活比数百年前是更容易了,但它也带来了一些新的问题。最大的问题之一是空气污染。告知人们为了人类,为了后代,我们必须要保护我们的家园——地球。
小题1:考查数词及语境理解。表示整百时hundred不用复数,也不跟of连用,但表示概数时,hundred必须用复数,并且跟of连用。数百年前hundreds of years ago是一固定用法,所以选B。
小题2:考查动词及语境理解。 listen 听,是一个非及物动词,常与 to  搭配使用 ,强调听的动作过程;hear of  听到,听说;hear 听,听见,是一个及物动词,强调听的结果。根据We can see it, smell it, drink it and推知选D。

小题5:考查代词及语境理解。others 其他的,泛指;the others 其他的,特指;the other  另一,指两者当中的另一者;another另一,指多数当中的另一者。根据上句When the land was used up, the river was not clean in a place,(当土地被用光,那地方的河流不干净时)知本句句意为:人们就去了另一个地方,所以选D。
小题6:考查名词及语境理解。 Air  空气;Food 食物; Water 水;Noise噪音。跳读知句意:现在,人类正在慢慢地污染整个世界,空气污染仍然是最严重的,所以选A。
小题7:考查名词及语境理解。life 生活,复数为lives;live 居住,现在分词为 living  ,第三人称单数为lives 。living things生物,是一固定说法,所以选C。
小题8:考查不定代词及语境理解。something 某事,某物;bad 坏的; good  好的;形容词修饰复合不定代词要放在后面。跳读知句意:许多国家不允许人们燃烧废物,所以选A。

举一反三
It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is frightening.

Yet people around the world continue to smoke. In the United States, about forty-seven million adults smoke. This year, more than 430,000 Americans died of diseases which have something to do with smoking. The American Cancer Society(美国癌症协会)says smoking harms the body greatly. It warns that smoking even a number of cigarettes is dangerous.
It’s not easy to give up smoking. However, doctors say you probably will live longer if you do stop smoking. You will feel better and look better. You also will protect the health of family members who breathe your smoke.
There is not one right way to stop smoking, doctors say. Any way can help. You can take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, you can eat a small piece of fruit or vegetable instead of having a cigarette. The sooner you stop smoking, the more you’ll reduce your chances of getting cancer and other diseases.
Stop smoking before smoking stops you!
小题1:How many people die from smoking each year?
小题2:What does the American Cancer Society say about smoking?
小题3:Is it easy to give up smoking?
小题4:What will happen if you stop smoking sooner?
小题5:What is the best title of the article?

Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answer. (12分)

Letter A
To the Editor:
Why do our children have 11 weeks of summer vacation? Many years ago, 85 percent of Americans worked on farms. Children needed summer vacation because they helped with the farm work. Today only 3 percent of Americans work on farms. But our children still have long summer vacations.
American students lose one or two months of learning during their summer vacations. Away from school for so many weeks students forget what they learned. Experts say that students lose maths skills and reading skills. At the beginning of school in September, teachers have to review last year’s studies for the first four to six weeks of school.
Summer vacations are not great opportunities for learning. Most parents work outside of the home. They can’t be with their kids during the long summer months. Some families can pay for summer camps, but many can’t. Most children stay home and watch TV. They are bored. Most children do not learn new skills during the summer.
James, Teacher
    Letter B
To the Editor:
I am against a longer school year. I believe people learn everywhere, not just in school. I believe children gain experience in the world. Summer vacation is a great opportunity. Kids can discover the world outside of school. They can learn to do things they can’t learn in a classroom. They can learn to swim and ride bikes. They can travel or go to summer camps. They can take time to do things like cooking and art. Some can get summer jobs. They can get work experience or help people in the community. They can spend time with people of other ages. Basically, they can get more experience in the world.
Long summer vacations give families time together. During the school year, everyone is busy. During summer vacations, we take time to do things together. Vacations are good for families.
Linda, Parent

If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).
  A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?
    Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.
  An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.

小题2:A large part of a comet is ______.

The air pollution was so bad in Harbin, in China, on October 21,2013 that the city had to close roads and schools, and cancel* hundreds of flights from its airport.
News reports said the smog (a mixture of smoke and fog) was so thick that people couldn’t see more than 10 or 20 metres in front of them.
It is also said that people could not even see the person standing next to them. The city’s website said: “You can’t see your own fingers in front of you.”
The local people said there was a “burning” smell in the air. Many people covered their noses and mouths with scarves or masks*.
The pollution was caused on several factors* including: farmers burning off old corn stalks* and crop stubble*; coal*-fired heating systems; and low winds that allowed the smoke to remain over the city.
The smog had been building up for several days. It became worse when the city turned on the public heating system, which uses coal to heat millions of homes and offices in the city.
Harbin has a population of more than 10 million people. It lies in northeastern China, where cold winter weather can last up to six months. The main fuel* there is coal, because it is cheaper than other types of fuel.
Air pollution from burning coal can cause health problems like heart disease. During the smog crisis* in Harbin, the number of people taken to the hospital with breathing problems was 30% higher than usual.
The city government is trying to reduce its use of coal by adding more insulation* and better roofs and windows to buildings to reduce heating needs. It has also used cleaner fuel for cars and factories.
