Protect Trees and FlowersC One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed. The 13-year-old girl saw that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make six bigger desks. The change of the desks was part of a reform(改革) at Fans school. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitting in groups.“This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,” said Liu Xu, a school head teacher. “Our school hopes it can improve students abilities for self-study as well as teamwork.” The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to. “I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days,” said Fan. But soon she and her classmates got used to it. “Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),” said Fan. “Whats more, we can speak out our own ideas and learn others through discussion. Its a better way to study.” Many students liked the change. They said, “Group members first discuss, and then explain the ways or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class.” The reform has asked for more from teachers. They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class. “In the past, a lesson can be taught in 45 minutes. But now we need to teach the lessons in a short time ,” English teacher Wang Jing said. “We have to improve methods to teach better. We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them.” “The reform has a long way to go, but I believe it will succeed(成功),” Wang added. 66. From the first paragraph of the passage, we know _.A. Fan Xing was a 13-year-old student B. Fan Xings classroom was changed in rowsC. Fan Xings desk was no longer in her classroom D. six big desks were moved into Fan Xings classroom67. The purpose of the new classroom arrangement is to _. A. make the students feel fresh and interested B. divide big classes into small classesC. make more room for new students D. improve students abilities for self-study as well as teamwork68. The reform helped the students study by ?A. stopping loud students from using simple gestures. B. giving students more chances to work in groups.C. making students do extra work after school.D. giving students more time to talk with each other69. What is the big challenge(挑战) for the teachers in the reform? A. They have to improve their studying ways. B. They must prepare more interesting topics for exercises.C. They have only15 minutes to teach in one period (节) of class. D. They have to move about in class to keep the students quiet.70. What does Wang Jings think of the reform according to the passage?A. Worried. B. Unhappy C. Positive(积极的、乐观的) D. Uncertain. 非选择题部分（共65分）五、阅读表达 (本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)A broken brown robot (机器人) is lying on a beach, while another strong green robot stands on the other side of the sea. Everything is so vivid (生动的), including the grass, sand and sea. This is not a scene from a movie, but its Wang Yaolis Gundam model (高达模型) work called Island Raid (荒岛奇袭). She is a 14-year-old girl from Chongqing Furen High School. This model work won her the Gunpla Builders World Cup 2014 (China Division), a top Gundam model competition. This year, her model work, called Hug (拥抱), won third place at the competition. She is a super Gundam models and cartoon fan. In elementary school(小学), a Gundam model gift from her painting teacher made her fall in love with the models. “It was so cool. I couldnt help but try it for myself,” she said. Now, her room is full of cartoon books and models. In her eyes, a model is a kind of art rather than just a toy. “It takes patience (耐心), skills and creative ideas,” she said. “It is not simply putting the parts of robots together. You can add elements (部件) to show your own creativity.” In her work Hug, she added an antenna (天线) onto the backpack of the robot. But she makes models only during summer vacation. “Its a big project. There are many things to do like assembling (组装) and painting. It takes me one month to make one robot. Sometimes, I paint it again and again to make sure I get the right color,” she said. But she never gets bored. “I love it. In the future, I want to work in the cartoon field and help more people enjoy it,” she said.Please answer these questions using no more than 4 words.71.How old is Wang Yaoli ? _72.Which model work won Wang Yaoli the Gunpla Builders World Cup 2014, Island Raid or Hug? _73.Who gave Wang Yaoli Gundam a model gift when she was in elementary school ? _74.When does the girl make models ? _75.
