It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument(争吵). We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my not very bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor, and much to her disappointment(失望), I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communication, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s(同事) son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I just can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can't be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of honor(荣誉) or money.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle(挣扎) to raise me on her little money and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am. And usually comes home around 5 pm. or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that if I become a doctor, it doesn't mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
36. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?

C
Everybody knows that Earth spins from west to east. That is to say, it appears to be spinning counterclockwise(逆时针) when viewed from above the North Pole.
But what if Earth started spinning the other way?
Scientists from Germany have made a computer simulation(模拟) in which Earth spins in the opposite direction –clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography (地形地貌) on Earth, Live Science reported.
As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents(洋流). The direction of the spin, together with wind, produces different weather around the globe(全球).
But a backwards(逆向的) spin changes the ocean currents and winds. Therefore, the climate(气候) is different. Western areas of continents(大陆) on Earth cool down as the eastern parts warm up. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet’s wettest places.
Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that global desert(沙漠) coverage(范围) shrank(缩小) from 42 million square kilometers to 31 million square kilometers. This may have something to do with the changing climate.
Therefore, you can see lush(郁郁葱葱的), green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis(绿洲).
___________. They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sand
dunes(沙丘) would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America.
A backward spin would keep the major characteristics of Earth’s topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions between circulating(环流) air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science.
41. What condition did the German scientists use for the simulation?
A. Earth spins from east to west.
B. Earth spins from west to east.
C. The North Pole is turned upside down.
D. Earth moves around the South Pole.
42. Why would the climate be different if Earth spins backwards?
A. B ecause there won’t be any more large oceans.
B. Because the ocean currents and winds will be changed.
C. Because it will change the amount of sunlight that Earth can receive.
D. Because Earth will become greener without deserts.
43. What will a backwards spin bring to the Earth?
A. Winters will become colder.
B. No rain will fall in summer.
C. Eastern Russia will become warmer.
D. The Sahara Desert will become smaller.
44. The story tells us that _____.
A. Earth used to spin in the opposite direction
B. a backwards spin would cause interesting changes on Earth
C. global desert coverage has been shrinking(缩小)
D. a backwards spin would change Earth’s topography completely
45. Which of the following sentences can be put at the beginning of the eighth paragraph?
A. Sadly, deserts would cover North America.
B. Luckily, deserts would disappear.
C. Anyway, deserts would replace the Amazon rainforest.
D. However, deserts don’t disappear.

Our jobs may be ordinary but they make a difference.
Pan Jianing, a manager, Liaoning
The documentary shows us that China is full of heroes who are willing to make a big contribution to their motherland and safeguard her dignity(尊严). We should nurture(培育) the confidence to make tomorrow better.
Lu Danqing, a railway worker, Henan
When I was first assigned to(分配) this small station (in Henan), I felt a little disappointed because the working environment was not as comfortable as I had expected. But Amazing China has changed my mind. I called my classmates after watching the film to tell them that our high-speed railway (featured(特写) in the documentary) is leading the world. I am proud of the amazing Chinese railway.

八、书面表达
In the past three years, I have learnt a great deal of knowledge from the books and the teachers. I have also learnt about lots of famous people all over the world. For example, Spud proved that through hard work, one can do anything. Besides, I always respect my teachers and get along well with my classmates. We are like a big family. What’s more, I have realized the importance of protecting the environment. It’s our duty to save water and plant more trees.
However, I still have a lot to improve. I’m not confident enough to make a speech in front of many people.
I am not good at maths, either. As a result, I feel stressed when the exam comes.
In the future, I will try to improve my speech skills and work harder in maths. / I will try my best to become better and let my parents be proud of me..。
