1. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper about 2 ,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting paper， there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day， people throw away about 2，800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper from now on.2. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees.

So how can we save paper? 3. Some people suggest we should use both sides of every piece of paper. We can also choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕） and not paper ones.4. 当我们逛街时，我们可以使用更少的纸袋子。If the shop assistant gives use paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. 5. 让我们现在采取行动节约用纸。

23、补全短文

  阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的A-E选项中，选出适当的选项补全短文。

Jack found a dog came into his shop with a note in his mouth.  【1】  ， “Can I have a bag of salt?’’ The dog had money in his mouth， too， so Jack took the money and placed the salt in the dog’s mouth. Jack was very surprised and because it was closing time， he decided to close the shop and follow the dog.

When the dog came to a crossing， he waited for the lights to turn green before crossing the road.

  【2】 . When a bus came， he walked to the front， looked at the number， but didn’t get on. A few minutes later， another bus came and this time the dog climbed on. The bus traveled through the city and the dog kept looking out of the window.  【3】  ， moved to the front and pressed the button to stop the bus. He then got off with the salt still in his mouth.   【4】  . A man who seemed a little angry opened it. Jack ran up and said to the man， “Your dog is too clever. He could be on TV!”  【5】  ， “You call this clever? This is the second time this silly dog has forgotten his key.”

24、 Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no.” or “we don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we sill soon contact these beings(人；生物).

Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”

In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.

Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”

【1】 Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are _____.

A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers   D. drivers

【2】What is the best title for Paragraph 2?

A. The Age and Size of Earth.

B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way

C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist.

D. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life

【3】Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?

A. There were not any smaller planets.

B. There were not any powerful telescopes.

C. The astronomers were not interested in them.

D. The Milky Way didn’t exist at that time.

【4】 Why haven’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?

A. They’re afraid of us.

B. It’s a long way away.

C. They don’t want to see us.

D. They don’t know how to use radio signals.

【5】What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Messages     B. Tools

C. Intelligent beings   D. Radio signals

Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school. Parents and teachers think it will create a better learning environment at school, but some students don’t like their school uniforms. So, what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?

In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called “ gakuran ”, which have dark jackets with stand-up collars(立领) and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku”, which look like European naval(海军的) uniforms.

Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long grey or black pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term.

In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think uniforms make students lose their personalities.

For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden(经济负担). Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.

In a word, love it or hate it, the school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world, so you’d better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。

【1】The writer introduces school uniforms of different countries that she or he likes best.

【2】In Japan, girls in middle school wear uniforms which look like European naval uniforms.

【3】Neither Chinese students nor students in other countries like their school uniforms.

【4】In England, all schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms because they think uniforms make students lose their personalities.

【5】In Africa, many children are too poor to afford more than one uniform.

The post-1990s generation is often described as self-centered and always asking for help. However, research results have painted a rather different picture: The post-1990s generation is independent, strong- minded and hard-working, according to a Peking University report.

When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others’ opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols (偶像). But it’s not because they are rich. “Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation.” said the report.

In addition, the post-1990s generation has a strong sense of social responsibility. Many of them have taken part in volunteer work. They also try to be responsible by studying hard and behaving well.

In the UK, many of the post-1990s generation have given up the drinking habits that the past generations had, The Telegraph noted. Most of them now have healthier hobbies, such as gardening and cooking.

It’s hard to find time for a hobby if you are going out drinking, Kate Payne, author of The Hip Girl’s Guide to Homemaking, told The Telegraph.

Changes in their hobbies have also helped them learn good manners. The Youth Justice Statistics report in the UK showed that young people are less rude and noisy in public.

However, a generation’s trails (轨迹) don’t belong to every single person in it. “It’s what you do that can make you the kind of person you want to be.” said Cheng Dongfeng, director of West Anhui University.

【1】People thought the post-1990s generation was ________ according to Paragraph 1.

A．self-centered and dependent

C．wealth

D．will

【3】Which of the following best describes young people in the UK?

A．They are sociable.

B．They are hard-drinking.

C．They have healthier hobbies.

D．They behave more impolitely.

【4】What can we infer (推断) according to the text?

A．The post-1990s generations behaved gently in public.

B．Each post-1990s generation gets good education.

C．The post-1990s generation is successful in business.

D．Be yourself, and everyone can make a difference.

B．How the post-1990s generation learns good manners.

C．Why the post-1990s generation likes successful businessmen.

D．When the post-1990s generation has a strong sense of social responsibility.

28、阅读下面短文，用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空 (必要时可加情态动词或助动词)。

Bridges are built for many reasons. Some bridges are built so that cars 【1】(cross) over rivers. Others are made for trains to use. In Washington State, there is a very unusual bridge. It was built for squirrels(松鼠) .

The town of Longview has a very busy street. Many cars pass it every day. When squirrels tried to cross the street, they were killed. Amos Peters wanted 【2】(protect) these small and lovely animals, so he built a bridge for them — one that would let them 【3】(pass) above the traffic.

The bridge 【4】(be) a symbol of the town for over 40 years since then. And every Christmas, the local people 【5】(add) a small Christmas tree to the center of the bridge. How lovely!

A few years ago, the local people 【6】(create) a squirrel festival and they raised money 【7】(build) two more bridges for these lovely animals. For years, because of the bridges, the squirrels in the town have been able to cross safely from one side of the street to the other.

Gift giving is different in different _______. Here are some of their likes. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone________, because many people have enough things and don’t want ________ gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember________. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don’t need to ________ too much money. Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.
