In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment(环境) clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
Here are the things students often do.
Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember:
Walk, jump, bike or run.
Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!
We love our environment. Let’s work together to make it clean!

If you are planning to learn a foreign language, here are some suggestions about language learning. I hope these suggestions can help improve your learning of a foreign language
Try to set aside some time every day for your study when your brain is at the most time for receiving information. It’s better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 3 hours once a week. If you can spare two or three hours a day, break them up into some periods to avoid brain getting tired.
Go over each lesson several times, perhaps once in the morning, once in the evening and once several days later. Give your brain time to understand the material, but the break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, or you will forget most of what you’ve learned.
Make sure you’re comfortable with the bases of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge. Without full understanding of basic knowledge such as words pronunciation and spelling, you’ll find it very difficult to learn more.
Setting proper targets is a good way to encourage yourself. You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level.
Once you have mastered the bases of the language, learn to apply them to the things that you’re interested in. In this way you are more likely to remember the words, phrases and grammatical constructions you meet.
You will find that at times you’re making rapid progress, while sometimes you seem to stand still or even go backwards. This is normal when learning a language, so don’t be discouraged.
Making mistakes in a foreign language is nothing to worry about. What matters is getting your message across, not whether you use all the right words, tenses, cases, etc. If you cannot think of the exact words, try using other ones.
小题1:What is the best time plan for studying a foreign language ?| A．A long period every day. | B．Several short periods every day. | | C．A long period once a week. | D．Several short periods a week. |
小题2:The break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, because ___________.| A．you will be unable to go over a lesson for several times | | B．you will be too tired to continue your study | | C．you will waste a lot of time for study | | D．you will forget what you are trying to learn easily |
小题3:If you don’t fully understand the basic knowledge, you will ____________.| A．be unable to go on with your study | B．be uncomfortable with yourself | | C．feel it very difficult to learn more | D．stop learning more in a short time |
小题4:According to the author, which of the following is NOT true ?| A．Setting a goal can help you make rapid progress. | | B．you should use what you’ve learned frequently to remember them. | | C．Sometimes you may not make any progress. | | D．Mistakes are quite normal in learning a language. |
小题5:The purpose of this passage is ____________.| A．to give some advice on foreign language learning | | B．to help students get high marks in foreign language exam | | C．to encourage more people to learn foreign languages | | D．to comfort those who don’t learn foreign languages well |

Almost everyone wants to get smarter. We struggle to improve our 16_ , intelligence and attention. We drink cup after cup of coffee to help us 17_ the day.
18 __, a new study published in Current Directions in Psychological Science warns that there are 19___ to how smart humans can get.
Each of our body parts develops in a certain way for a reason. 20 _, we are not 3 meters tall 21 _ most people’s hearts are not strong enough to send 22 _ up that high. Scientists say that our thinking ability works in the same way. A baby’s brain size is limited by a series of __23 , such as the size of the mother’s pelvis (骨盆). If our brains developed to be bigger, there could be more 24 during childbirth.
The study of Jews, who have an average IQ much _ 25_ than other Europeans, showed they were more _26_ to develop diseases of the _27_ system. This might be because of their increased brainpower.
If intelligence cannot be improved, can we at least get better at _ 28 _ ? Not really, say scientists. They studied _29_ like caffeine (咖啡因)that improve attention. They found the drugs only helped people with serious 30 _ problems. For those who did not have trouble paying attention, the drugs could have the 31 _ effect. Scientists say that this suggests there is a(n) 32 limit to how much people can or should concentrate.
Our memory is also a “double-edged sword”. People with extremely good memories could 33__ having a difficult life because they cannot _34 bad things that happen to them.
Thomas Hills, one of the authors of the paper, said that 35 all the problems in trying to get smarter, it’s unlikely that there will ever be a “super mind”.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example. They want the city to draw special lanes for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow the traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea-they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park-the largest place of open ground in New York-is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
小题1:In New York, a group of bike riders ________.| A．are keeping practicing for health | | B．have no cars of their own | | C．are complaining there are not enough buses | | D．are trying to settle the problem of air pollution |
小题2:The advantage of the special lanes is that ________.| A．they will make cars and buses run slowly | | B．they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks | | C．they will make the city more beautiful | | D．the lanes will prevent accidents |
小题3:The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn _______.| A．so that everyone is disappointed | | B．because there are different opinions | | C．because most people travel by train | | D．because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough |
小题4:Cars are not permitted to enter Central Park on weekends _________.| A．so that Bike for a Better City is pleased | | B．so that everyone is happy | | C．and bicycle lanes are drawn | | D．but Bike for a Better City is still not satisfied |

Many ESL (English as a Second Language) students in the United States enroll in (注册学习) academic preparation programs and are in their late teens or early twenties. This is often a time when students are looking back on childhood in a different way. Their childhood memories and their viewpoint on those memories can be very useful for the production of wonderfully creative writing.
For this project, the students began in class by closing their eyes and trying to return to their childhood years in order to bring early memories to their mind. After imagining for a few minutes, they began to tell each other what they remembered about those years and tried to describe a particular incident that stood out in their memories.
That evening they wrote in their journals about the incident, embellishing (润饰) the story as much as possible. The next day, they read the story to a different partner and got feedback (反馈意见). The partner’s job was to: ask more questions to bring back the writer’s memory; help the writer make sure that past tense verbs were used correctly, focusing on the difference between those things that were still true and needed present tense and those things that belonged specifically to the past. Two days later, students made necessary changes or additions and turned in a typed copy of their story. I then made my own comments about their work and asked them to revise their work. The third draft (稿子) produced some very good work.
小题1:The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _____.| A．show readers the difficulty he had in his work | | B．explain his idea of English learning | | C．show readers how ESL students live and study | | D． tell readers how he taught his ESL students to write |
小题2:What did the author ask his students to write about?| A．What they saw around them. | | B．Their predictions for the future. | | C．Their childhood memories. | | D．Their opinions of the United States. |
小题3:In what order do the students write their compositions according to the passage?
a.share their writing with their classmates
b.exchange their memories
c.write their stories
d.ask for others’ feedback
e. make some changes to their compositions and have them typed
f. corrected by the teacher
g. recall their stories| A．g-b-c-a-d-e-f | B．g-c-a-d-b-f-e | | C．e-f-b-c-a-g-d | D．d-e-f-g-a-c-b |
小题4:A partner may help do the following things EXCEPT _____.| A．make the memory more complete | | B．find spelling mistakes | | C．check the tense of the verbs | | D．give some feedback |
