Li Jun, who is a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of 41 classmates. I was wrong. It was very different and much 42 than talking to my classmates during playtime, Li said. I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom 43 Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same 44 : they can talk about their ideas freely 45 their best friends after class, but cant speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a university, the main reason is schools which are in China pay more attention to writing instead of 46 .

All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight（今晚）. The hotel we are staying in is cheap and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27thBangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday，March 30thOur trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet lifeno computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thailand, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。( )51.

The people in the village _.来源:Z#xx#k.Com A. are friendly to others B. like to speak English C. are very weak D. hope to live in the cities(B)Its important to learn things about protecting environment. Heres a 4Rs rule for us.ReduceIf you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people dont know what to do with waste in big cities, so its necessary to reduce waste.ReuseYou should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you dont use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.RecycleBottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where theyre smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.RepairIf one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, its better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。( )54.The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _.A.to use things wiselyB.to cut down many treesC.to use paper carelesslyD.to use more and more things( )55.Whats the right order of recycling cola cans?a.smash them flatb.collect the used cansc.smelt themd.send them to a factoryA.a-b-c-dB.d-c-b-aC.b-d-a-cD.b-d-c-a( )56.The “Reuse” rule mainly requires us _.A.to throw away the old clothesB.to collect waste paper and soft drink cansC.to use both sides of paperD.to give the old but usable things to the poor( )57.Which sentence is about the “Repair” rule?A.When you leave a room, turn off the lights.B.Take a cloth bag when you go shopping.C.Dont use plastic bags.D.If your chair is broken, you can repair it. (C)Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesnt have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Lets hope that some of the bigger plants dont get the same idea! 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（10分）（ ）58.

The air we breathe is a natural resource. As a natural resource, it found in nature. We often say, “Air is in the atmosphere（大气）.” In fact, the atmosphere consists of air, and the atmosphere surrounds the earth. Air is a mixture of gases. The atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen（氮气） and oxygen. It also contains water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gases. Water vapor is water in gaseous form, so we cant see it. We take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. The air we breathe should be clean and free of pollutants or impurities. But the air around us is not very clean. It always becomes polluted in large modern cities. Air pollution has become a serious problem in many countries. Automobiles（汽车） on streets and freeways pollute the atmosphere. The exhaust(尾气) contains carbon monoxide. Its harmful to us. Another harmful gas is sulfur dioxide（二氧化硫）. Sulfur dioxide rise into the atmosphere from factory smokestacks and electric power plants. The factories and plants burn coal to get energy. The burning of coal produce the sulfur dioxide. We must take steps to solve the problem. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（10分）( )62The passage tells us about .

You may volunteer to help other people，but you can also volunteer to do something good for animals, the environment，or any other thing that you care about. Volunteering helps others, but it can also help yourself. If you are worried about something that has happened, doing something can be a great way to deal with your feelings. Volunteering can let you see your own life in new ways. For example, if you dont have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game，you may find it difficult to stop yourself from worrying about things like grades or getting angry. Volunteering lets you spend some time on others.Doing volunteer work is a great way to have fun with your family. Here are some ideas on how you can do the work together：Clean up a park or a road along a river.Do some housework for the old persons or the sick.Serve food at a shelter for the homeless.Plant trees or flowers in your community.Clean up a school or other public buildings.Now some schools ask kids to spend some time helping others because volunteering gives them a sense of duty（责任）. Why can we say that volunteering gives kids a sense of duty? The reason is that volunteering can make kids feel needed by some people. Volunteering can also help kids learn important things about themselves. A volunteer job can even help some kids understand what to do when they grow up. So what are you waiting for?根据短文内容，回答问题。71. What does volunteering mean? 72. Is volunteering only good for others? 73. Who can you do some housework for as a volunteer? 74.
