根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入相应空格内的最佳答案。
If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But they’re not real stars. They’re man-made satellites(人造卫星). And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes.
The ISS is the biggest satellite and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration(探测). “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isn’t an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
( )21.The International Space Station_____________.
A. is really a big city in space B. is the biggest man-made satellite
C. can only help us explore space D. is mainly built by the USA and Russia
( )22.From the passage we know that_____________. [来
A. building the ISS is only for scientists to live there
B. scientists can do anything they like there
C. people can see the Space Station at any time
D. sixteen countries are members of the space program
( )23.The phrase “a stepping stone” probably means“_____________”.
A. 滑梯 B. 巅峰 C. 垫脚石 D. 走廊
( )24.China sent some rice up to the ISS is probably to_____________.
A. be used as astronauts’ food B. sell it to aliens
C. do some science experiments D. make it grow better in space
( )25.Which of the following isn’t mentioned ?
A. China will join the ISS in the future.
B. The scientists are building living rooms for them in the ISS.
C. The ISS will be more useful in the future.
D. The ISS costs the members of 16 countries plenty of money every year.
（B）
A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best ways to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋)
melt(融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.
根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
( )26. Where is Venice?
A. In Italy. B. In Canada. C. In England. D. In America.
( )27. Which is the most impossible way for people in Venice to get around ?
A. On foot. B. By boat. C. By car. D. By bike.
( )28. Why is Venice still getting lower and lower?
A. Because too many people live there.
B. Because the rising temperature has made the ice melt.
C. Because lots of bridges have been built.
D. Because the underground water is rising.
( )29. What seasons are dangerous for Venice because of high waters?
A. Summer and autumn. B. Autumn and winter.
C. Summer and winter. D. Spring and winter.
( )30. The passage is mainly about.
A. the waterways of Venice B. the history of Venice
C. the scenery of Venice D. the problem of Venice
（C ）
Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (组合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子). With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and goodluck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. In Chinese, “excellent”people are often called “dragons”. A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping one's child will become a dragon,” which means hoping he or she will be successful.
It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered. There are some famous“dragons”who have done excellent things, for example, Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very successful.
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head – Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years. It was the year of the Dragon five years ago.
The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the“descendants of the dragon”, it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be“dragons”.

Every day, hundreds of children in Africa lose their young lives, because they have terrible diseases or don’t have enough food to eat. Most African countries are poor. 37 And many parents have no jobs, so they have little money to buy food or medicine. We hold the concert to raise money for the children in Africa.
38 For example, the Feed Africa Fund (援非基金)spends millions of dollars every year on food for them in Africa. All the money comes from kind and generous people, just like all of you.
39 Just one dollar can buy enough rice or corn to feed a family of four for three days.
40 Ten dollars? Twenty dollars? I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund.
Ladies and gentlemen, we now make a collection for the children in Africa. Please be generous. Thank you !
根据短文内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，内容完整。
A. Many organizations are trying to help the poor in Africa.
B. How much do you spend on food every day?
C. The governments have no money to take good care of the poor.
D. Every dollar you give this evening will go to the Feed Africa Fund.
E. Now, please allow me to tell you why we hold this concert.

It was 6:00 on a Monday morning. With his books in his bag, 13-year-old James Mwangi was on his way to school, the Mcedo-Beijing school in a slum（贫民窟）in Kenyan capital of Nairobi(肯尼亚首都内罗华). This school wasbuilt in 2001 with the help of China, for children from poor families.
After getting to school, Mwangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that students in this school prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes.
To study in the school was once a dream for the poor boy. His mother made a living by washing clothes for others. Some days she took home nothing, and some days she could get about $ 3 — it was hardly enough to buy them a full meal for a day.
Before joining the Mcedo-Beijing school, Mwangi was at home with his seven brothers, collecting rubbish. The school is giving these children hope for the future by providing a chance to get education.
“For me, education is the best gift,” said Mwangi.

Dear Jack，
I am sorry to hear that you quarreled with your parents about playing mobile phone games. You spent so much time playing games that you forgot when to sleep
and you felt too sleepy and tired to listen to the teachers in class the next day. Because of these, you became poor in your study. Your mother got angry with you. You felt bad about this.
Firstly, I think you should stop playing games. You can use mobile phone to search for information, and look up new words. It is a useful tool for your study.
Secondly, you need to communicate with your parents and teachers, and let them know your problems. They will help you. At the same time, they will forgive you for your mistakes.
I hope my suggestions are of great value to you.
Yours，
Tina
