Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）,we are short of others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example， turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
( ) 56. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.
A. eat too much B. don’t work hard
C. waste things D. throw rubbish everywhere
( )57. Which is not mentioned in this passage？
A. Fresh water B. Forest. C. Oil. D. Coal.
( )58. What may happen in 100 years?
A. We may still have enough oil. B. We may still have enough coal.
C. We may have a little oil. D. We may have no coal or oil to use.
( )59. Which of the following is RIGHT?
A. Waste brings problems. B. Waste can bring no problem.
C. China is rich in fresh water. D. Students never waste things.
( )60. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. Stop Wasting B. School life
C. Waste in the School D. Rich Resources in China
(D)
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.
( ) 61. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.
A. hard B. enjoyable C. painful D. comfortable
( ) 62. The underlined word “crystal” in the passage means _______.
A. 岩石 B. 火焰 C. 水晶 D.寒冰

A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.
B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.
C. You can find life is full of nice things.
D. Never give up half-way.
( )64.We can infer（推断）from the last paragraph that__________.
A. the writer was very successful in his life
B. the writer reached the top of the mountain
C. though the write was young, he could understand his father
D. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain
( ) 65.The best title for the passage is________.
A. Reaching the Top of the Mountain B. Standing at the Top of the Mountain
C. Conversations between Father and Son D. Seeing all of the nice things

More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains, some traveled into unknown parts of the world, some sailed small boats across the largest sea. 66
Bungee jumping ( 蹦极 ) and motorcycle racing are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place , 200 meters above the ground , and there is a rubber band ( 带子 ) tied to your legs. 67
About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.
Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. 68 They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

The Population Problem
The population is one of the biggest problems in the world today. China has the largest population with 1.3 billion. It has become a serious problem. A large population causes many difficulties, not only for every family, but also for the whole nation. For example, there is less living space. It’s difficult for many people to find jobs. we are short of energy and water. Most cities are more crowded than before, and the traffic is much heavier.
I think we should do something to control the population. One answer is known as the one-child policy. It has worked well in controlling China’s population.
