Living in Jiangdu, many people often feel stressed(有压力的) because of the high prices of the house, the food and the education. Someone says that some goods in Jiangdu are even more expensive than those in Yangzhou, though Jiangdu is a district of Yangzhou.
What causes this?
Mr Zhang, a worker in a small factory ,says: “In my factory, many workers from the countryside don’t want to work in the fields any more, so they come to the city to live, to work. More and more of them buy their own houses. I think the price of the house is rising because
15
of people like them. They even take away our chances to work.”
Miss Liu ,a teacher in No.2 Middle School has her different thoughts:“More and more parents want their children to go to famous schools to receive better education. They choose to buy the houses around these schools. Businessmen raise prices for more money. In fact, you won’t get good results if you don’t work hard, even though you are in the best school.”
“During the past 10 years, people’s incomes（收入）have increased 2-3 times as before, so the rise in commodity(日用品) prices is natural. In the past, we worked for eating , but now ,we work for better living conditions, and we believe our life will be better and better in the future.”Mr Huang , an officer in the local government says.
So, as the people in Jiangdu , what about your ideas?
54. Mr Zhang thinks that_______.
A. Goods in Jiangdu are more expensive than in Yangzhou.
B. The workers in his factory cause the price of the house rise.

B. They want their children to enter the school nearby.
C. They don’t want to live in the countryside.
D. They can get the chances to work.
56. Which of the following is true?
A. If you can go to a famous school, you will get good results.
B. People’s incomes are higher than before.
C. Jiangdu is richer than Yangzhou.

Once there was a piano player in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
"I can't sing," said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of(厌倦) listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!"
The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!"
So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully! He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on!

But once he found that he could sing well, he carried on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

The next day the old woman met a young man, who was also a traveler in the mountains. The young man looked very hungry, so the old woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked carefully, “The stone is beautiful. Would you like to give it to me?”
“Sure. Why not?” the woman said, and handed the stone to him.
The young man left happily with the stone. He knew it was precious enough to give him wealth for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman.

六、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）
Do you know that a student can produce up to 240 pounds of school waste and lots of waste gas during a term? This includes transportation, food, paper, pens, pencils and so on.
Transportation
Many parents like driving their kids to school every day. We all know waste gas from cars is a main cause of air pollution. If parents who live in a neighborhood can take turns to drive their kids to school each day, that’ll be better. Another way of going green is to walk to school if students live near it.
Food
It is surprising that only one primary school could produce up to 19,000 pounds of lunch waste each year. That is only one school. One way to help take care of the environment is to stop using plastic bags. There are all kinds of environmental boxes for students to put their food in.
Paper, pens and pencils
15
A lot of paper is thrown away by American students. They throw away about 1.6 billion pens every year. They waste many pens and the chemicals of them are bad for the environment. Much more pencils are thrown away than pens. Pencils are made of trees, so if more pencils are thrown away, more trees will be cut down. So students should reuse paper, pens and pencils instead of throwing them away.
Backpacks
As fashion comes and goes, almost every kid needs a new backpack every year. They can save a lot of money and materials（材料）if they reuse the same schoolbags.
Students and the environment
Transportatin
If possible, parents in a neighborhood should take__77___ to drive their kids to school each day.
Students can go to school on __78___if their homes are not __79_ from their school.
____76_____

Two years ago my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it in any place you like. As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can take my little daughter to school and the library, and I can go shopping to any place in fact. I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter because the weather is cold and rainy. My husband use my bicycle sometimes for a visit to his friend. He is not good at riding a bicycle, but he says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still likes his car best. I think all day sitting down in a car is making him fatter and fatter. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and riding makes me feel a lot younger.
