21、Dear Dongdong,

I came to Hong Kong last week. I will stay here for another week. Hong Kong is really a great place to visit. There’s so much to see and do here. And I did so many wonderful things.

I took the cable car(缆车) to the Peak Galleria (山顶广场). I went to Hong Kong Racing Museum. I knew a lot about horse racing. I also visited Ladies’ Street. In the street I bought some beautiful clothes for my mother. Last night I went to a Chinese concert. Chinese traditional music is always my favorite. This morning I went to Ocean Park and watched the dolphins performance(海豚表演). Dolphins are so clever. They can jump from the water to touch a ball, dance, kiss people and even do math. Mr. Host is going to take me to an Italian film festival in Hong Kong Cultural Centre tomorrow. I’m so excited because I don’t see an Italian film before. But some people say they’re boring.

That’s all!

Best wishes!

Yours,

Haohao

22、(An excerpt from < Jack's Endless Summer >)

The outdoor pool is the best place to be on a hot summer day.

Liam and Tareq are good swimmers. They are racing up and down the pool. Jack joins them at the beginning, but he stops after the first length. He can swim but he isn't a strong swimmer. Jack lies on his back and floats. He feels cool and relaxed now.

Jack is looking up at the endless blue sky when he hears that cry again. The cry is like a child, but it isn't a child. And for a moment he sees a dark shape, like a dark angel. It is circling high in the sky near the sun. But then he hears Tareq shout out: Look out, Jack!

Jack raises his head quickly. But something crashes into the water next to him. There's an explosion of water. It goes into his eyes and mouth and he starts coughing.

The pool attendant blows his whistle loudly. Then he shouts at a boy standing next to Jack in the water.

"Hey, Damian, stop that!"

Damian? It's that name again.

Jack wipes the water from his eyes and sees a boy with short red hair. The boy is smiling but it isn't a friendly smile. It is the boy with the catapult. Damian. So that's his name.

"Sorry!" Damian says. He doesn't mean it. He swims over to his three friends.

The pool attendant looks down at Jack.

"Are you all right?" he asks. He isn't really interested. He just wants a quiet life.

Jack nods and the pool attendant returns to his chair.

Jack looks at the four boys sitting on the edges of the pool.

They are chatting and laughing and pointing at him.

Jack turns away and swims to the other side.

23、There is no doubt that human activity has an effect on the environment. Some people say that human activity has made the earth a better place for us to live on while others don’t think so. I agree with the latter opinion.

To begin with, people are causing problems everywhere. Looking around, we have changed the environment a lot. It’s hard to see the blue sky in many places and there are fewer forests covering the land, which are homes for many different animals. Another problem is that waste water is being poured into the sea by many factories. The environment is getting worse and worse.

Although the planet gives us everything we need, we are killing it. We are taking too much of what we want without giving anything back. We are cutting down trees without planting new ones and hunting too many animals. What’s more, we usually think that the more things we have, the better our lives are. I think that this is just causing more and more problems. Global warming is caused by waste gases, such as carbon dioxide. Things such as oil and coal will be used up one day in the future. People need to use new sources of energy, such as solar energy, wind energy and water energy. Making energy in these ways causes less pollution. In a word, if we want to live in a better world, we must protect our earth from now on.

【1】What idea does the author agree with?

A．People’s activities aren’t bad for the environment.

B．People have done nothing to protect the environment.

C．People have done nothing bad to the environment.

D．People have done something bad to the environment.

【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph?

A．Humans are taking too much from the earth.

B．Global warming creates too many waste gases.

C．Human activity has caused global warming.

D．People are cutting down trees without planting new ones.

【3】Which of the following activities are making the environment worse and worse?

①Pouring waste water into the sea.                  ②Developing solar energy.

③Cutting trees down without planting new ones.                 ④Protecting our earth.

A．①③

B．②③

C．①②

D．②④

【4】What does the author suggest developing?

A．Carbon dioxide.

B．Oil and coal.

C．Wind energy.

D．Waste gases.

【5】What’s the best title for the text?

A．The Environment Is Changing

B．Human Activity and The Environment

C．Developing New Energy

D．Global Warming

24、Time is fair to everyone. There are twenty-four hours 【1】 day. All the people, poor or rich, old or young, have the 【2】 time every day. I don’t know if twenty-four hours a day is enough for everyone. I find that many people are 【3】 with their work and they keep on working until midnight every day. Here are several possible 【4】 for this.

One 【5】 the reasons may be the heavy workload（工作量）, and another reason is probably caused by bad planning. They are not in the habit of writing down the work that they are going to do. So why not take out a piece of paper and 【6】 a plan? First, write down the time you will start and finish the work. 【7】 , make a list of things you need to do. They may be from 【8】 up in the morning to going to bed at night. Put all the activities in the right order. Third, you’d better do your work before dinner. And then make time to have a rest between the heavy jobs. At last, please use different color pens to mark the 【9】 important things you have to do, so that you won’t forget to do them. You should plan everything by 【10】 . Time is flying. Let’s make good use of time.
