21、When you want to go somewhere, you can easily find your way by using a map app on your smartphone. Your smartphone “knows” where you are and can tell you where to go.

This is possible with the help of satellite navigation（satnav）systems. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to find out where people are. It sends information to a receiver, such as a smartphone. The more satellites a system has, the more accurate（精确的）it is.

On June 23, the last satellite of China’s Beidou Navigation Satellite System was launched into space. Beidou, China’s own satnav system, was finally completed. It is one of four global navigation systems, along with US’s GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.

On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services（全面的全球服务）. More than 120 countries and regions（地区）are now using Beidou services.

Since 2000, China has launched 59 Beidou satellites. Beidou can be used in areas that include farming, public services and business. It has a positioning（定位）accuracy of under 10 meters.

Beidou also has a special messaging ability. It allows people to send text messages up to 1,200 Chinese characters in length when mobile phone services are interrupted（中断）by natural disasters.

It takes a long time to build our own satnav system. The hard work behind Beidou is hard to imagine. Although some countries looked down on us, we prefer to face difficulties and work harder than any other country. We win respect from our achievements and diligence. Scientists are always confident and patient to overcome any difficulty.

【1】What does a satnav system do?

A．It helps people plan trips.

23、   How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china(瓷器)cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

【1】What is the passage about?

A.How to produce things. B.How to burn things.

C.How to help others. D.How to be green.

【2】Which of the following is RIGHT?

A.Don't waste things. B.Always throw away old things.

C.Always buy new things. D.Buy too many things from abroad.

【3】Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?

A.You can burn them. B.You can use them again.

C.You can throw them away. D.You can change them into something else.

【4】To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: ________.

A.waste, reuse and recycle B.repair, burn and recycle

C.reduce, reuse and recycle D.reduce, waste and recycle

【5】The passage may come from ________.

A.a menu B.a dictionary C.a storybook D.a magazine

24、

Bananas are the perfect snack. Not only are they sweet and delicious, but they are easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all, bananas provide different things that the human body needs!

Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees. The banana plant, however, is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn’t have a strong, woody stem. The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.

Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seem like “hands”. A “hand” is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas “fingers”. Each bunch(丛) of bananas has about 15 “hands”, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.

After about three months, the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point, they still aren’t the sunny yellow colour of bananas. Farmers pick them when they’re green. That’s how they’re shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

If you love bananas, you’ve got a lot of company. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today, Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!

【1】The first paragraph mainly talks about ________.

A．why people like bananas

B．how bananas taste

C．what bananas are rich in

D．where bananas are taken

【2】Where do bananas grow best?

A．In warm places that get lots of rain.

B．In dry places that get no rain.

C．In cold places that have no sunlight.

D．In hot places that have a lot of sunlight.

【3】What is the correct order in which these ________ happen?

a. The bananas begin to turn yellow.

b. A banana plant grows to full height.

c. The flowers produce bananas.

d. The bananas are ready to be picked.

A．c-b-a-d

B．b-c-d-a

C．b-c-a-d

D．c-b-d-a

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The banana plant is a kind of tree.

B．Bananas like growing in hot and dry areas.

C．One bunch of bananas may weigh over 100 pounds.

D．The banana plant usually produces fruit once a year.

【5】Which is the second most popular fruit in America according to the bar chart?

A．Apples.

B．Grapes.

C．Bananas.

D．Oranges.
