One day Peng Xianzhe learned he would go to Mashan School in Guizhou. The 16-year-old
boy tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school. However, he
realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes
with water, or you will be punished.”
Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has
only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor
students much poorer.
Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the
school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.
The project idea came from Peng’s principal. One day, she heard a sad story about Li
Guoxian, a poor girl in Mashan School, who stopped going to school because of the drought. The
principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3,000 students made over 10,000
donations of water, books and clothes.
Peng and four other students went to Mashan School and gave the donations with five
teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.
Ding 2hentao, 16, was worried about the school’s poor learning environment. “The
blackboards and playground are too shabby( 破 旧 不 堪 的 ) to use,” Ding said, “Besides, there
really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook
is a class teacher."
Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive(积极的) attitude towards life
and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.
"They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the
students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies," Chen said,“You can see the
passion(热情) in them. I believe it will make a difference. Their future will be bright."
49. The underlined word "drought" in Paragraph l means ______ in Chinese.
A. 水灾 B. 旱灾 C. 火灾 D. 雪灾
50. Who started the school’s Rain & Bow Project?
A. The principal of the foreign language school. B. Peng Xianzhe, a 16-year-old boy.
C. Chen Shi, a student from Beijing. D. Li Guoxian,a poor girl in Guizhou.
51. How many people went to Mashan School and gave the donations?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Nine. D. Ten.
52. The passage mainly tells us about ______.
A. the poor learning environment of Mashan School
B. the things the Beijing students did, saw and heard at Mashan School.
C. Mtashan School students’ positive attitude towards the drought
D. a story of a poor girl who stopped going to school because of droplight

No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to
protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities including Tarpei,
Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign. It asks drivers to leave their cars
at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on people in Beijing
not to use cars on June 5th ( World Environment Day ). The slogan(口号) for the day is, “If we
drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day."
So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather,
but we can choose not to drive." said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have
238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This
was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year. Much of the dust comes from the
desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.
53. No Car Day was started ______.
A. to save money B. to control the weather
C. to make the air cleaner D. to keep out dust from the desert.
54. The No Car Day campaign asks Beijing drivers ______.
A. to work hard to get fewer blue sky days
B. not to work on World Environment Day
C. to ride a bike or walk instead of driving to work

56. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

C. People will have one more World Environment Day each month.
D. The car club chairman Wu Zonghua won’t drive any more.

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers
in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and
people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light,
people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people,
those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors,
unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People
who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room
with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or
orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are talking or eating do not
want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are
working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.
However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and
violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them
of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight
appears yellow.
57. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?
A. Yellow, green. B. Blue, violet. C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white.
58. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Sociable people like warm colors.
B. Warm colors can make people excited.
C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.
D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.
59. Which is the right color for different rooms?
A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining-rooms.
C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies.
60. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.
B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.
C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.
D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.
