A young girl named Malala, born in 1997 in the northwest of Pakistan, is famous for supporting children and
women to get education.
In 2012, she was shot and seriously injured when she returned home on the school bus. Luckily, she was sent to the
hospital in time and saved. After that, she went back to school and began to strive( 奋斗 ) for children and women to
receive education.
On October 10, 2014, the Nobel Prize for peace was awarded ( 授 予 ) to Malala. She became the youngest
winner in the history of Nobel Prize. However, Malala missed the most important event of being announced to be the
winner of the prize. At the very moment, she was taking chemistry lessons in the classroom! After hearing the news,
Malala chose to take her history and physics lessons as usual. She said calmly to the reporter, “I’m proud of getting this
prize. Although the unforgettable date itself means something to me, it’s more important to finish the rest lessons today.
After all, it’s a normal school day.”
One year later, Amy Mainzer, an astronomical scientist of NASA, found a new planet. She named it “Malala”.
When Amy Mainzer was interviewed by Times, she explained, “I think Malala has set an example for us. She is
fearless and sticks to helping children and women get the right of being educated. Nothing can stop her.”
6
Last year, Malala passed the entrance examination of Oxford University through her hard work.
Before she finished her high school, she had written a book I am Malala. She said, “I hope the readers around the
world have chances to read my book. My dream is that more and more people will realize it is extremely difficult for
children and women in some areas to get education. Actually, my story is also the story of 61 million children. Every boy
and every girl should have the right to go to school. ”
( )61.How old was Malala when she won the Nobel Prize for peace?
A. 17. B. 16. C. 15. D. 14.
( )62.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “astronomical” in Chinese?
A. 航天的 B. 天文的 C. 地理的 D. 生物的
( )63.What’s the name of the new planet?
A. Amy Mainzer. B. NASA. C. Oxford. D. Malala.
( )64.What is the correct order of the following events?
①Malala became a student of Oxford. ②A planet was named for Malala.
③The Nobel Prize was awarded to Malala. ④Malala wrote a book called I am Malala.
A. ③②①④ B. ②③①④ C. ③②④① D. ②④①③
( )65.Which of the following about Malala is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A .She strives for helping children and women to go to school.
B. She is the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize.
C.She was taking chemistry lessons when she was awarded.
D.She wrote a book about herself and 6.1 million children.
C
The world is not hungry , but it is thirsty . It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while
we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for
watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3% - the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't
even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted .
7
Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should
all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists have always been making
studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers . But it can be
used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
T he sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt
out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a
cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.
（ ）66 . The world is thirsty because ________.
A. 3/4 of the earth is covered with water B. we have enough sea water to use directly
C. we haven't used all the water in rivers and lakes
D. about 97% of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly
（ ）67. Which of the following is true ?
A. 3% of water on the earth is in rivers and lakes. B. 75% of water on the earth is the sea.
C. 97% of the earth is covered with water. D. 3% of water on the earth is sea water.
（ ）68. From the passage we learn _________.
A. if every city reuses its water, we'll be in no danger of drying up
B. man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth
C. today in most large cities water is used only once
D. water can be used only once
（ ）69 . To avoid the serious water shortage , which of the following is the most important?
A. Save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakes.
B. Don't pollute water and keep all rivers and lakes clean.
C. Make dirty water clean and then reuse it.
D. Try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water.
（ ）70. The name of the passage would be ________
A. The Sea Water B. How to Save Water C. The Thirsty World D. The Polluted Water
D

Just like Chinese, westerners give gifts on many occasions(场合), for example, on birthdays of good friends, at
Christmas and some other festivals. Although gifts are always welcome, it is not necessary to exchange(交换) gifts at
any time. They exchange gifts only among good friends.
Usually when you are invited to dinner, you needn’t bring a gift except on special occasions, for example, when
you are going to be a weekend guest. If you wish to bring something, the gifts should always be small, simple and
cheap. You might bring some sweets or some small toys for the children, or a book, some flowers, a bottle of wine
for the host. If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring some Chinese tea, Chinese paintings, Chinese
paper cuts(剪纸) or other things like that, or even you can cook a Chinese dish and bring it with you.
Westerners prefer to open a gift at once, and admire it. They would thank you and make some comments(评论)
on the gift’s beauty so that you know they like your gift very much.
71. Do westerners give gifts on many occasions just like Chinese?

72. What kind of people can exchange gifts in western countries?
73. How should the gifts always be if you want to take something to dinner?

75. How do western people like to open a gift?
