Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.
Here are some other ways to help save resources (資源)for the society:
★Use the other side of the paper.
★Use rechargeable (可再充電的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.
★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.
★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.
★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.
小題1:The underlined word "ours" in the passage refers to (指代) _______.
A．our societyB．our old things
C．our lifeD．our throwaway things
小題2:According to the writer, if we give a second - hand toy car to a neighbor kid, we can____.
A．buy another new oneB．help toy business develop
C．make the family very thankful to usD．help save resources for the society
小題3: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．We should buy things that can be reused in our daily life.
B．We can exchange some things with others for further use.
C．It's good for us to throw away old things and buy new ones.
D．We are supposed to give the things we no longer need to our neighbors.
小題4:What should we do in our daily life after reading the passage?
A．Try to throw as few old things as we can.
B．Use as many disposable things as possible.
C．Drink bottled water even though there is tap water around.
D．Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.

【主旨大意】：本文是說明文。本文介紹了節(jié)約能源的幾種方式。
小題1:詞義猜測(cè)題根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知“拋棄社會(huì)”指的是“我們的社會(huì)”。故此處句意：有時(shí)候人們叫我們的社會(huì)一個(gè)拋棄社會(huì)�？膳袛噙xA。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題由第二段“Here are some other ways to help save resources for the society.”可知上文所提到的是為社會(huì)節(jié)約資源。故選D。
小題1:邏輯推理  本文主要要講了節(jié)約資源的一些方式，提倡我們把自己不用的東西送給別人，我們可以使用一些可循環(huán)利用的物品。所以C 選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。
小題1:主旨大意題本文只要講了一些節(jié)約資源的一下方式，提倡盡可能的把自己不用的送給需要的人，提倡我們使用可循環(huán)利用的物品，盡可能的減少浪費(fèi)。
難句釋解: That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. 那就少買一個(gè)他們需要的塑料玩具汽車。
It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy show. 那也就少了一個(gè)需要生產(chǎn)，包裝與運(yùn)送到玩具展的一個(gè)塑料小汽車了。

閱讀短文，判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容。符合的寫“A”，不符合的寫“B”。

Water is the most important in our lives. Not Many people understand this but it’s quite true. The human body can go without food for a long time. We’ve got many examples for this. Yet two or three dayswithout water can usually make people die. Man can’t live without water.
Many people don’t understand how much water the human body needs to work well, and many people, especially young people, do not drink enough water, even in very hot weather. About two thirds of our body is water. When we do sports, some of the water will get away from our body. If we don’t drink some water, our body won’t have enough water. And if we don’t have enough water, we’ll feel tired and many of us will get ill. So you know how important water is to us.
But at present we face water crisis(危機(jī)). Water is becoming less and less. So， we should protect water resources(資源) and try our best to save water in our daily life. Here are some tips for saving water:
1. Turn off the tap(水龍頭) in lime.
2. Take shorter showers.
3. Don’t let water run while washing your face and reuse the water after we finish washing.
4. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join in the action of saving water.
小題1: Nobody can live without water.
小題2: About one third of our body is water
小題3: If one doesn't have enough water, he’ll feel tired and may get ill.
小題4: We’d better take longer showers and let water run while washing.
小題5: It’s our duty to protect water resources and save water.

The size and shape（外形）of your ears show your character（性格）more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older，but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today，too，many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different，and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person，see if his or her ears are large，medium-size，or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）.Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and  nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous（神經(jīng)質(zhì)）character.

Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the colour of dust. She did not like her ugly colour. She was attracted by the colour of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the colour of that beautiful lake very much. Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.
Now Coyote was a trickster(騙子)—and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended(偽裝) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed, he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.
Convinced(確信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped(滑倒) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes had the dull colour of dust to this very day.
小題1:How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?
A．Three times.B．Four times.C．Five times.D．Six times.
小題2:Why was Coyote a trickster?

B．He wanted to eat Bluebird but pretended to be curious.
C．He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.
D．He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.
小題3:Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?
A．To the lake.B．To the tree.C．To the cave.D．To the hill.
小題4:Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?
A．Because his fur had the dull colour of dust.
B．Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.
C．Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.
D．Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.
小題5:What words does the writer use to help you imagine the colour blue?
A．sky, lake, mountains
B．bird, coyote, storm
C．flapped, climbed, bathed
D．fur, feathers, dust

The Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)is in the Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA. During the past 60 years, more than 1,000 seamen in ships and pilots in planes have lost their lives. It is known as “The Triangle of Death”for its strange seawater and sudden storms.

　　One of the largest ship that had disappeared in the triangle was an American coal ship, 500meters long. The weather was good, and there were no messages for help before it was “gone”. No broken ships or dead bodies have been found so far.
