13、Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life. Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.
By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of f lying. Among his sketches we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines.
Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor-saving machines like cutting machines.
Leonardo was a strange man. He didn't eat any meat, which was unusual in those times. He never published his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.
We have very little of his work today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.

“Come on, sir,”she said, “Let’s go.”
On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油）in her car . An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.
When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept her. “I only wan t to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.” She said.

15、The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.
There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian, Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian , Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.
1．How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?
A．About 3000. B．Nearly 6500. C．Almost 2000. D．Over 35,000.
2．Who married ancient Chinese women in the story of blue-eyed villages of China?
A．Asian soldiers. B．African soldiers.
C．European soldiers. D．American soldiers.
3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A．Valuable things could not be sold along the Silk Road.
B．The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.
C．Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.
D．The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road

16、Imagine one day, the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower (洗澡) water to use for washing clothes. Then she has to use that same dirty water to wash other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life? Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a World Bank report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025. Because of the water shortage (短缺) in Yemen, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej，told the Times, “In a good week we’ll have a water supply (供给) all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water--- at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average (平均的) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty（贫困）line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of sea water. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
1．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A．drinking water B．buying water from shops
C．suffering from water shortage D．washing clothes with used water
2．Which of the following is not true?
A．Common people in Yeme n don’t have enough water to use.
B．People in Yemen have no water to use during a bad week.
C．Rich people in Yemen buy water at very high prices.
D．Private companies in Yemen sell water on their trucks.
3．It can be inferred(推断) that ______.
A．the capital of Yemen is developing fast
B．Hannan is a teenager from a rich family
C．Sana will run out of water in 10 years
D．private companies selling water make a lot of money
4．The Yemen government ______.
A．can do nothing about the problem of water shortage
B．may try to make use of sea water
C．only cares about rich people’s lives
D．has found a practical solution

17、A priest(牧师) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent(弯曲) down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke. The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air — out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.
So, he prayed, “______________________” and went on about his business.
Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Before this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”
She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging(恳求) her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if _________, you c an keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”
1．The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________.
A．get his kitty down from the tree
B．persuade his kitty to come down
C．feed the kitty
D．see if the rope was strong enough
2．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that the priest __________.
A．was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty
B．hoped his neighbors would look after his cat
C．thought his kitty might be lost or killed
D．didn’t want to see his kitty any more
3．Which is the most possible to complete the sentence in the last paragraph?
A．the priest sends you a cat
B．God gives you a cat
C．you have enough money
D．you have enough time
4．Which may be the best title of this passage?
A．A flying cat B．A lucky girl
C．God sent her a cat D．An unlucky priest

18、It is reported that some developed countries have shipped (运往) broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.
Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.
Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the
e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost.
Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.
Luckily, the Chinese government wants to change the situation (情况) . This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.
1．The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from _____.
A．France B．Japan C．Germany D．Australia
2．The underlined w ord “” probably means ____in the passage.
A．焚烧B．降解C．回收D．掩埋
3．The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province_____.
A．is the e-capital of the world B．has serious e-waste pollution
C．deals with the e-waste safely D．spends much money on e-waste
4．This year, the Chinese government _____.
A．closed some computer companies B．asked people to hand in old computers
C．made a new environmental protection law D．tried to change people’s life
5．The passage is mainly about _____.
A．the e-waste problem in China B．the cost of burning e-waste
C．the ways to deal with e-waste D．the need to pass a law against e-waste

19、Dear editor,
As we know, Chinese traditional culture is facing a great challenge because of the rapid development of international technology nowadays. In my opinion, it’s necessary for schools to set up traditional culture classes.
First, traditional culture is the root of Chinese. As Chinese, we shouldn’t give up our traditional culture and run after Wes tern
culture. Second, traditional culture classes can give students chances to know more about our nation. They can raise their sense of national pride. Last but not least, setting up traditional culture classes can spread and develop our Chinese culture.
All in all, it is of great importance to set up traditional culture classes in schools. Let’s call on more schools to set up trad itional culture classes!
Yours,
Mike。
