Have you ever seen snow? Many people in the world have not. Some countries never have snow; some have only a little on the tops of very high mountains. In the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England, there is usually little.
When a student from a warm country comes to England in autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first. There are often dark clouds, grey sky and cold rain in England in autumn, and most students from warm countries do not like this.
But snow is different. Though it is cold, it is also beautiful. Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the student wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks “Is it so late?” and jumps out of bed. But no, it is not very late. He looks out of the window and there is the snow on the ground and on the houses and everywhere. The light of his room comes from clean, beautiful snow.In which part of England is there much snow in winter?
| A．In the east. | B．In the north. |
| C．In the west. | D．In the south. |
In the autumn of England, we can NOT often see __________.
| A．grey sky | B．dark clouds |
| C．strong winds | D．cold rain |
Why does the student ask himself “Is it so late?”
| A．Because he has some work to do. |
| B．Because it is bright in the room. |
| C．Because it is really late. |
| D．Because he usually gets up early. |
Which of the following statements is true?
| A．Every country in the world has snow in winter. |
| B．Foreign students like the weather in England. |
| C．It is often very warm in the autumn of England. |
| D．Many people in the world haven’t seen snow. |
Can plant 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 the 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 very quickly. Then the fly can’t go 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 doesn’t have all the important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen. So some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea.
根据短文内容判断。
1. The Venus flytrap grows in wet parts of the United States.
2. The Venus flytrap is a kind of plant.
3. The underlined word “presses” probably means（挤、压） in Chinese.
4. In the world, many animals eat plants but plants never eat animals.
5. From the passage, we know that not only animals eat plants, but also some plants eat animals.
Forests have always been useful and important to men who make use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from the terrible heat. They’re also useful in preventing(阻止) good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no forests, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface(表层) soil that is so important to plants. The result is that the land will become a desert. There are plenty of desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas used to be very rich areas, but men in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, and they cut down too many trees in the area where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.

The population of the Earth is growing faster. It is important that we look after the Earth. We need it! The Earth gives us a lot of things. We also give the Earth a lot, but some of the things are not good.
In nature, when something dies, other animals and plants get food from it. Every animal or plant gives food for other animals or plants. However, animals can’t get food from many of the things that we ‘give’ the Earth. Animals and plants can’t eat metal, plastic and glass. These things will stay in the ground for many, many years.
Some rubbish is very dangerous for plants and animals. In some places, many animals live together. One animal makes food for many more animals. If we put rubbish and chemicals in the water, the plankton(浮游生物) can die. If there isn’t any plankton, many animals have nothing to eat.
So what can we do? Don’t leave any rubbish in the countryside! Don’t make so much rubbish!The Earth gives us ___________.
| A．food | B．rubbish | C．chemicals | D．pollution |
When something dies in nature, _________.
| A．water and grass are polluted | B．plastic and wood become food |
| C．other animals and plants get food | D．metal and glass stay in the ground |
We must _______ to look after the Earth.
| A．put metal in the ground | B．use more wood |

For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (后天) decides what people will be like. Is it nature— what people are (41) with— that decides what they will be like? (42) is it nurture —what(43) to people when they are born —that decides what they will be like?
Scientists have been studying twins to (44) if they can find the answer, because twins start out with the (45) DNA. Sometimes twins don’t live together at birth and grow up in different (46) and different places— so the nature is the same for both, but the nurture is different.
When scientists (47) these twins in their later life, they some times find some surprising (48).
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（收养）by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirty-nine years (49) and discovered they had a lot in (50). Both had been (51) twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty!
Each twin had a son — one called his son James Alan and the (52) called his son James Alan, too. Their children each had a dog called “Toy”. They even arrived at their first (53) in the same color of car.
So far twin (54) seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth, and how and where we live help to build (55) we are.

If your pencil box is broken，the batteries（电池）in your flashlights run out，or you have some leftover food，how will you deal with these things？You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin.But actually，we need to sort（分类）all the rubbish separately.If you don't sort your rubbish，all of it will go to a special place where it is buried（埋藏）together.As a result，it will take up some fields.Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater.Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years，some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups：wet，recyclable，harmful and dry.Wet waste is known as household waste.They are things you don't want but pigs can eat.Paper，metal，glass，plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes thins like medicine，batteries.Finally，any waste that is not wet，recyclable or harmful will go to the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish.For example，Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago.Students in Deyang have already received waste﹣sorting guidebooks.They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste﹣sorting efforts.There is still a long way to go.But it's never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly.We should take an active part in it.
（1）How many bad results will there be if all the rubbish is buried together？
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.

B.Paper and metal can be thrown into a "dry waste" bin.
C.The whole world is working hard on rubbish sorting.
D.China has already succeeded in sorting the rubbish.
According to the finding of a new UN report，the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year.That's about 1，030，000，000 tons，or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking.Food services，such as restaurants，produce 26% and groceries （食品杂货店）and other stores 13% "We thought waste was a problem in rich countries，" says Martina Otto，who works for the UN Environment Program.
"However，the new report finds，food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor."
Each year，some 690，000，000 people go hungry.At the same time，about 10% of all CO2 on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste.Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution.It is helpful to both people and the planet.By avoiding wasting food，we can save money and time.More importantly，we can help protect the Earth's most valuable resources （资源）.
Then what can we do to stop food waste？Small actions make a difference.Each of us can play a part.Next time，before you throw，think twice!
